    This quest is directly inspired by @Rhomeo 's quest, specifically his second attempt. There will be mechanical similarities, but I'll be making slight changes depending on if it fits my needs better. After chargen, there will be a tutorial before we move onto the main campaign, so to speak. The most important thing to note is that, like Rhomeo's quest, this version of Remnant is heavily au, and distinct from his version. More things have been added, and some things outright changed, to better fill in the world for this game. Because of this change, metagaming, will not work. Don't worry, though, all of your favorite characters still exist.

    AN: I retain the right to veto any plans.

    Write-ins are (almost) always allowed.

    Omakes are rewarded in the same they have in past YARA's.

    The four reserved pages beneath the first post will be filled out by the end of the week. Now than, lets begin.
    _____

    Everyday, more seed are planted in the Garden. Some are born strong, all but destined to grow into mighty oaks, standing their ground against all the world has too throw at them. Other seeds are weak from the beginning, and must bend to what the world dictates so that they do not break.

    How will you turn out, I wonder? Will fortune smile upon you, feeding your legend so that it grows too eclipse all others? Or will you waste away in the darkness cast by other trees, never too reach your full potential?

    All this remains to be seen. We don't know much about you, after all, so how would we be able to follow your story? Please tell me…

    [ ] What is your name?

    Yes...that is a good name for you. It fits, somehow. Is this a name that will be remembered forever? Or is it one that will simply fade away? Only time will tell. Now then...

    [ ] Are you a boy? Or are you a girl?

    [ ] Are you a child of man, or one of faunus descent?

    Oh, how precious you are, my little sapling. Where should someone like you be planted?

    [ ] Atlas: A nation unafraid too go go against the natural order too gurantee the prosperity of their own. Things that have never come into the world before are created here. It is a place, both of fantastic wonders, and new evils, freshly unleashed upon the world.

    [ ] Menagerie: A gilded cage for the unwanted and scorned. It was with empty mercy that those failed revolutionaries were sentenced here, too live out their lives away from everyone else. It is a good, safe place, but that is a very recent development. It will not last.

    [ ] Mistral: The greatest civilization too ever be built upon this world. It grew on the backs of broken enemies, nobility and common folk alike enjoying the vast riches that flow through her ports. Eternal happiness can be found here, as long as you are willing to navigate a sea of corpses.

    [ ] Vacuo: A collection of tribes who, on occasion, unite. These are the most dangerous of the settled lands on the planet, thick with darkness and plagues upon the people who live here. Death is common, and it is cheap, but through this adversity, the strongest souls can come forth.

    [ ] Vale: Once, no one could compare to this kingdom. It was unbothered by the darkness, rich in resources, and full of fertile land. The people grew fat, and lazy from so many blessed years, and so when troubles finally found them, they were destroyed. Now, they are only a shadow of what they once were.

    So this is where your story will start? I see. There is still more to be decided, but that will be later. You have enough for now, young one.

    • Reserved for important information.

    Note: Skill tiers are in comparison to someone who practices that skill. So for example, average Dust Magic is the average level of a competent Dust Mage, while average Weapon Forging is the average level of a competent blacksmith.

    All tiers below average cause a malus, and all above it give a bonus.

    Horrendous
    Disappointing
    Mediocre
    Average - At this point, no
    Skilled
    Expert
    Master
    Grand Master
    Legendary
    Mythical

    I allow my voter base complete creative freedom in omakes or any other creative contribution they would want to make for this quest. While I do retain the write whether to make it noncanon, semi canon, or canon to this quest, if I at all enjoy, I will give you a list of rewards.

    Potential rewards will be given a short description, but will not be revealed beyond what the writer can infer. They can do various things, but I make that decision, in the moment.

    Alternatively, you can gain Kudos, which can be spent in the Kudos Shop for in game rewards.

    Well written, canon stories that cause a great change in the world might gain the writers the much coveted Destiny Points, great magic that can be used in the Destiny Shop. These expenditures are a good bit more hefty that Kudos purchases.

    In order to increase your skill tiers, I will be using a background tick system. Practicing a skill earns you ticks for a skill. Earn enough, and the skill will level up. The amount of ticks needed to jump levels grows exponentially, so keep that in mind. While ticks are rolled, they can be given solid bonuses if you are given instruction by a teacher or do something particularly smart. Successes on skills checks also give you ticks.

    z3rogamer: 1
    - Reroll a skill roll (1 Kudos)
    - Give a +10 bonus to a normal roll, or +5 to a global roll (1 Kudos)
    - Give a -10 Malus to a normal roll, or a -5 to a global roll (1 Kudos)
    - Mother sends you 1,000 Lien! (1 Kudos)

    - Reroll an NPC's roll (2 Kudos)

    - Double ticks received for one training event (3 Kudos)
    - Reroll a 'global' roll (3 Kudos)

    - Make a Grimm of equal or lower tier spontaneously combust (5 Kudos)
    - Purchase a report [Ancillary/Combat] (1-5 Kudos depending on chosen report) [True name needed]
    - Influence an NPC's opinion of you (5 Kudos)

    - Character Report – A compiled report on a person of your choosing, with a disturbing amount of detail... (10 Kudos) [True name needed. These are character sheets]
    - Purchase a Character Sheet/Semblance Sheet (10 Kudos)
    - Road Unseen – Hint at consequences of actions that were not voted in (10 Kudos)

    - The Road Ahead – Hint at potential possibilities of a certain choice (25 Kudos)
    - Purchase a reward given in an Omake set (25 Kudos)

    - Slayer (50 Kudos)

    - Legend and Myth (75 Kudos)

    - Into the Wilds (100 Kudos)
    1 Destiny Point

    Wicked: ???

    A Trip Through the Forest: To ever consider that others do not have the same value as yourself, is to have unacceptable hubris.

    Whisper of Life: Sacrifice a portion of your destiny to ask a question of the Universe.

    2 Destiny Points

    Malefic: ???

    Reading the Lines: Peer into the darkness and find the value in a decision.

    Reversal Of Fortune: You will succeed, where you would normally fail.

    3 Destiny Points

    Heartseeker: ???

    The Flow of Time: Push forward, and push back, and be still. Be one with all things. In the end, everything is the same.

    Wheel Of Destiny: Bend the world to your will and shift a situation the way you want it to be.


    4 Destiny Points

    Abomination: ???

    Burst Of Inspiration:     In an instant, understanding.

    The Kingdom of Rot: There may yet be value there, if one is careful to sift. Are we not closest to the other side in our sleep, after all?

    5 Destiny Points

    ????: Take the risk, and be rewarded...

    10 Destiny Points

    Sorcerer: Once upon a time...

    First Day of School: There's a lot of kids going to Signal. It's doubtful that all of them will go to Beacon after graduation. Who are they?

    Storied History: Sometimes, weapons are more interesting than the people that used them. Even tools can have rich and fulfilling experiences. Tell me a tale about the weapon in your hands.

    A Quirk of Fate: There is someone here, who never should have been, or could have been, in a normal world. What change allowed this boy to chase his dreams?

    Memories: Your grandmother is gone. Dead, I mean. No one can really dispute the fact. But she isn't forgotten, and she isn't so far from your mind. Tell me a story about Finn, and the time he spent with his grandmother, before she passed on.

    Peoples Omakes:

    A Blade To Kill a Tyrant: Oh, so it was his corpse!​

    Lets be real here, this wouldn't be a YARA quest without at least one person posting this.

    I've changed the title to something I think sounds better and more eye catching to players who don't know what my inspiration was.

    This first vote will be closed in, I'll say, 24 hours when I feel like it.

    Currently, Finn Goodwitch has the lead.

    You lucky bastards.

    Ouch. Nothing to bad, though. This spread disturbs me.

    You don't get to decide that kind of stuff. The plan is valid, but don't be drawing up a backstory or anything until chargen gets to that point.
