I've been toying with creating something inspired by the Kokiri from the Zelda franchise for a while, and with some thought I decided to go ahead and make a Quest out of it. While I borrow the idea from what is shown in the Ocarina of Time game, I also put what I hope will be an interesting twist to the tree spirit concept. I hope you will enjoy the ride, and that our protagonist will have an exciting adventure with your guidance!
You slowly come into being in a delicately fragrant place, the scent of life and growth teasing your olfactory senses just as surely as the velvety feel of your pod and the soft pastel light reaching your developing eyesight lulls you into a deep slumber. You are a new being, born from the souls of those who lived long ago in this forest and from the potent Mana found inside the body of your wooden bearer, the life energy giving you form and innate magic unique to your species. You are an elf of the Gerunia Forest, and you are starting to feel its call for you to awaken and join your fellow elves in their care of their home.
Your soul is your own, yet there is an echo of another life lived inside you. Who was that peculiar soul who influences you so?
[] A great leader, who once led your people safely through the flames of war. [You will start with the ability to roll for a Persuasive Speech once a Step, that will allow you to attempt to persuade another that you are much more worthy of their trust and respect than they previously thought. Charisma Based]
[] A wise Keeper of Lore, who taught much and learned even more so when caring for your clan's young. [You will start with Sharp Memory, that gives you an easy recall to what you have heard and learned, boosting your ability to recall and understand concepts you heard about previously. Mind Based]
[] A great Hero of the people, who won a safe place for your people through his service to an ancient King. [You will start with a Strong Body, who will allow you to perform a feat of strength to uncover or clear paths to secret areas once a Step. Body Based]
It was time for you to be born to this world and, while the pod you had occupied for the last year was comforting and safe, you felt a need to get out and explore the world that was unknown to you beyond faint memories of times long passed. Pressing your hands against the pink barrier of your home made it unfurl slowly from your form, the flower now in full bloom as you sat in its midst. The sun was pale on the horizon as you blinked against the sudden light of the dawning day. Your ears were sensitive as well, with the soft chirping of birds and the distant laughter of your kin sharply heard now that no obstacle was present to guard you against the outside world.
Shivering from the chill of the departing gloom of the night, you looked down upon you options.
[]Climb down from your perch, and see about looking for someone to help you.
[]Boldly jump down the flower that once hosted you, and explore your surroundings.
[]Stay where you are, and call out to see is someone is nearby.

Tally results: Bold Little Savior
Your perch was pretty high up from the ground from what you could see, but you were still confident in your ability to jump. Standing fearlessly on the edge of your pod, you let out a high pitched warcry before leaping down into the grassy glade below. Muscles straining from a mix of fear and excitement, you managed to land safely despite the howling of the wind in your pointed ears as your surprisingly lithe body made a smooth landing by rolling in the soft grass until you lost your momentum.
Now on solid ground, you were able to look at your surrounding, taking notice that you had jumped from a vine clinging to a truly enormous tree in the middle of a glade. The sun was slowly peeking out over the high canopy of the forest, and to your delight you could clearly hear the joyful song of birds now that your sense had dulled enough for your environment to be bearable to you. The smell of flowers and rain were soon known to you, and the part of you that was as old as time suggested that you take cover soon.
Taking a direction at random as you were pretty confident that a forest would make a better shelter than a clearing, setting out on your first adventure in this life. The woods were thickening quickly, and soon enough you could barely see the light of the sky above as you jumped over roots and swatted at the underbrush. It was strangely quiet here, but as you nearly fell face first in the mud for the fourth time, you were able to discover two interesting leads you could investigate.
To the right was a clearer path leading to the sound of an active community, the smells of fresh bread making your stomach rumble hungrily. Nearer to your current location was a dark opening in a cliff, the sweet sounds of a flute able to be heard over the swiftly approaching storm. You were sure that you would meet someone who could help you either way, but also knew that only one path would be open to you for the foreseeable future. What should you do?
[] Go to the path smelling of bread and offering the promise of a village of some sort.
[] Follow the sound of the flute, letting your ears lead you.
