Breaking Destiny (Fire Emblem: Awakening Quest)

[ItzNarcotic]

Now if I were a normal person I would give you the details of what this quest is about. But since I like the concept that @Monk Penguin did with their What Is Fate? Quest, this will be somewhat different. You will initially not know what universe this takes place in, but all I will say is that you are a newly reincarnated soul in a new world. The rest is for you readers to figure out.

? / ? \ ? / ? \ ? / ? \ ? / ? \ ? / ? \ ? / ? \ ? / ? \ ? / ? \ ? / ? \ ? / ? \ ?​

​

Now, to answer some questions that you may or may not ask me.

Why is this quest featuring a reincarnate or self-insert instead of let's say, an OC?

Many important reasons. First, when you realize what world you are in, it's reasonable to assume that you will use the knowledge you know and act on it instead of trying to be ignorant about the situation of said world. Second, it gives me a good reason to do some world-building while you guys try to figure out where you are at. Third, because I like to read Self-Insert fanfiction (I know some people don't like to read it and that is perfectly fine) and a story concept I like means a story that will be updated frequently or a story I like writing.

Why are you starting this quest when you have other stories and projects to work on?

Well, when I start writing something over and over and over again it becomes easy for me to burn out on writing certain stories. Unlike my story, I have a small break of about a day or so before I have to start up on the next part of this quest which I like a lot. This is also my first time writing a quest instead of a story, so this will be a good learning experience for me while I try to create a good story for you all. This also matches up with my current schedule as I started school around 2-3 weeks ago and have little to no free time for anything. And eventually I will update my other stories, but for now, I will most likely update this quest (since this is what I am in the mood to write right now) every 2-3 days or so.

Will you update/change the title when the fandom/world/series is revealed?

Yeah, I'll update the title. Not too sure about the intro though since it doesn't really matter too much...

Are you copying @Monk Penguin 's Quest Idea?

Kind of? I mean it's obviously going to be featured in a different world and setting, but the mystery aspect of having to figure out the world is pretty appealing to me which is why I chose to write it like this. I love it when you readers are trying to figure out where you are at and fail at it. The quest mechanics are going to be slightly different with certain dice rolls changed, certain skills, more mechanics, etc.

Now, please patiently wait as I post the first chapter and make a couple of reserve posts for some information on the quest.

Character Sheets
[Last Updated as of 12: Consolation]

You (Leonard)

Class: Dark Mage
Date of Birth: October 7th, 744 AM
Race: Human
Age: 9

Spoiler: Stat Sheet

Class: Dark Mage
As a child born from a union of two more-than-exceptional dark mages, your dark magic is extremely potent and your potential for dark magic is ever-expanding. You are capable of using both anima and dark magic, but your dark magic will always be stronger than anima magic regardless. You are also able to promote into the Sorcerer or Dark Knight class when you are experienced enough and/or when you are ready to pass the Class Certification Exam.
All actions, plans, and combat related votes regarding Dark Magic on your end are more likely to succeed.
As a consequence, however, those who are aware of you using or know the dangers of the magic you possess are far more wary in conversation, if they are not already familiar with your character.

HP(Health): 19
Although a child geared towards using magic and spells in combat, you possess a high tolerance for damage and pain due to your usage of Dark Magic.
You are capable of taking one or two more deadly blows than what could be expected of a child, but no more than that before falling in battle.

STR(Strength): 22
A young boy in training, you possess above average strength for a child your age, especially one who is more inclined towards magic.
You are somewhat capable regarding all physical matters, but oftentimes than not you need the help of those more physically inclined.

MAG(Magic): 30
A dark mage with limitless magical potential, you hold an exceptionally high capacity for all things magic.
It would be no mistake to say that, with a few years of dedication towards the magical arts, you could eclipse even the most proficient and well-versed Sorcerers and practicioners of the world regarding Dark Magic alone.

SKL(Skill): 24
A child with a slight bit of training, you possess average technique with all things regarding swordplay, melee combat, specific techniques, killing blows, and overall finesse of handling weapons.
With a lot effort and planning, you could possibly win a melee skirmish against other trained children around your age. The same couldn't be said for sufficiently trained adults, however.

SPD(Speed): 22
A spry young boy, you hold above average movement with regards to combat, travel, and reaction timing.
In a duel of quickdraws, you are more likely than not to be the one to initiate the initial blow in combat. Attacks done against you can be perceived relatively simply, but reasonable action taken afterwards is another matter entirely. Furthermore, travel times can be cut down by a marginal percentage when pushing yourself, but not insanely so.

LCK(Luck): 13
The rays of fate shine dimly upon you, you poor child.
When it comes to matters of fate, destiny, change, it will be difficult but not necessarily impossible to disregard them when accomplishing goals; whether they be combat, socializing, planning, etc.

DEF(Defense): 21
The hardiness of this child, although promising, is currently average at most.
Physical attacks, when they strike true, will deal usual amounts of damage.

RES(Resistance): 20
The energy surrounding this promising mage allays most magical blows, although against spells of higher quality or age it will prove to be less effective.
Low tier magical attacks and spells, when they strike true, will likely do very little or no damage at all. Spells of medium and high tier and quality will still deal normal damage.

Note: Green = boon stat, red = flawed stat.

Spoiler: Personal and Class Abilities

Abilities
Personal: ????? ?? ? ???? - ???
Class Abilities - Anathema and Hex

Spoiler: Inventory

Inventory

Blue Handkerchief
A blue Handkerchief, the same shade of blue as Lucina's hair. The proof of your friendship and how you helped her in a time of brief emotional distress.
Allows access to Lucina's room and certain parts of the castle when shown to a guard.

Weapons, Tomes, and Spells

New Bronze Short-Sword
This sword was gifted to you by Lucina after you accepted her deal to be taught swordsmanship. This is a very sharp sword. Even after barely touching the tip of your finger with it, you can see droplets of blood exiting the small yet extremely precise cut.
Weapon Proficiency Requirement - Sword: Novice
Weapon Uses - 50
Might (MT) - 3
Your first ten blows with this sword are more likely than not to be killing/decisive blows in combat. Afterwards, it will function as a normal, weighty bronze sword.

Murder of Crows - A custom spell created by Henry's father, from his knowledge.
Through exploration, you have figured out that you can currently create two permanent crows to send messages, with ten temporary crows being the current maximum.
You are able to combine or imbue these crows with certain spells, such as:
Thunder spells, which turns the crows into an electrical bomb. The strength and effects of the explosion may vary, depending on the type of Thunder Spell used.
Dark Magic (specifically Flux spell) turns the crows into a madness-inducing bomb. The strength and effects of the explosion may vary, depending on the type of Dark Magic spell or tome used
Weapon Proficiency Requirement - Novice with three different dark magic tomes/spells.
Weapon Rarity - Unique
Weapon Uses - Infinite
Might (MT) - 12 (without spell combinations; base spell)

Thunder Tome - Temporarily borrowed from your father. The basic and easiest to cast of all thunder spells.
When cast, small but not costly orbs of thunder appear to attack the target
Weapon Proficiency Requirement - Novice
Weapon Rarity - Uncommon
Weapon Uses - 38
Might (MT) - 3 (without MAG bonuses)

Flux Tome - A copy you gained from your father after completing your training. The basic and easiest to cast Dark Magic spell.
A simple purple projectile that can cause varying mental effects.
Weapon Proficiency Requirement - Flux Tomes: Novice
Weapon Rarity - Uncommon
Weapon Uses - 45
Might (MT) - 5 (without MAG bonuses)

Nosferatu Tome - A copy you gained from your father after completing your training. The second easiest spell to cast, albeit more complex.
Allows the user to drain and heal from half of the damage done to an enemy.
Weapon Proficiency Requirement - Nosferatu Tome: Novice
Weapon Rarity - Rare
Weapon Uses - 20
Might (MT) - 7 (without MAG bonuses)

Ruin Tome - A copy you gained from your father after completing your training. One of the harder and more complex spells, but it is easier to hit decisive blows upon success.
Although a 50/50 chance to miss, it is also a 50/50 chance to land a killing/decisive blow.
Weapon Proficiency Requirement - Dark Magic: Novice
Weapon Rarity - Rare
Weapon Uses - 20
Might (MT) - 4 (12 when critting and without MAG bonuses)

Thunder Armor - A spell that you discovered through experimentation. By pouring magical energy throughout your body and performing the incantation for the Thunder tome, you are able to temporarily boost your physical strength, agility, and lightning spell damage on the battlefield for a short duration.
While this spell is active, you have double SPD and STR stats. In addition, gain +10 to all Thunder tome-related rolls for the duration that Thunder Armor is active. Due to high amounts of magical energy usage, this spell can only be activated once per battle and lasts for a duration of two battle actions.
Current DC = ≥55

Bullion [M] - A gold bar that will fetch quite the price at the market. Sunlight gleams off of the metal, the lustrous metallic color still perfect in its vanity. Perhaps you can trade it off for some money?
Can be exchanged at a Shop Vendor for 5000g or something of similar value.​

Spoiler: Traits

Traits
Psychologist and Psychiatrist - You are able to calm yourself and others in very tense situations, along with being able to determine people's emotions and analyze problems easily.
All social actions are more likely to succeed when you are present and relevant within the context of a conversation.

Reincarnate - You have experienced another life, a multitude of other experiences, and even death itself. You are more mature than other children, even more so than some adults!
Grants access to vital but slowly fading metaknowledge of the world.

Walking Battery - You are able to input and output mana out of your body to perform spells in a matter of moments, unseen in most mages.
All magic based combat actions are more likely to succeed to be killing/decisive blows than not.
Due to this trait, you are unable to perform and will always fail sneak attacks on any enemies who are magically inclined.

Warrior's Spirit (D) - A skill tempered by enduring not just combat but hell itself, confidence radiates itself off of your form no matter the conflict that awaits you.
Even in a life-or-death situation you will not hesitate to take action, though whatever action you take afterwards may not always be the correct one. Furthermore, those who are familiar with your character are moved by your actions, following the example you've set.


Where Am I, Again? - You, after being an idiot and not following the sensible adult, got lost in a forest and have realized how bad your sense of direction is. Seriously, your location skills are terrible.
Due to this skill, you are more likely to get lost when exploring or wandering by yourself, more so than any of the other Future Children.

Stats Sheet, Abilities, Traits, Skills, Weapon Proficiencies, and Inventory

Stats Sheet Abilities Traits Skills and Weapon Proficiencies Inventory

• The stats sheet seems self-explanatory but I'll explain it in case some people need it as a reference. The stats sheet displays your stats and class.
  
  Class - Your class determines certain dice rolls to get bonuses in certain events. Example: Myrmidon gives a bonus to SPD and SKL, raising crit and double attack chance during combat.
  HP(Health) - The amount of health you have in battle. If you lose it all you either faint to awaken after the fight is over or die.
  STR(Strength) - The more strength you have, the more damage you do with weapons. Your total damage with a non-magical weapon is equal to STR + Weapon Might.
  MAG(Magic) - The more magic you have, the more damage you do with tomes. Your total magic damage with a tome is equal to MAG + Tome Might.
  SKL(Skill) - Skill improves a character's accuracy rate and critical damage rate. Criticals multiply the total damage you do by three after factoring in the enemy's respective defensive stats.
  SPD(Speed) - Having at least a Speed that is 5+ higher than your opponent allows you to Double them, which means that you may attack once again with the same dice roll. The Speed stat, along with increasing evade chance, also allows a character to double attack or be double attacked if their speed stat is higher or lower than the opponent they are battling by 5.
  LCK(Luck) - Luck is a stat that determines how lucky (or unlucky) a character is. Luck provides an overall marginal boost to combat and other miscellaneous dice rolls. (5 Luck =
  DEF(Defense) - Defense lowers the amount of damage you take from enemy weapon attacks by an amount equal to your DEF. Enemy STR + Enemy Weapon Damage - Your DEF. (Example: 10 STR + 2 MT - 8 DEF = -4 HP)
  RES(Resistance) - Resistance lowers the amount of damage from magical weapon attacks by an amount equal to your RES. Enemy MAG + Enemy Tome Damage - Your RES. (Example: 20 MAG + 2MT - 20 RES = -2 HP)
• Abilities are modifiers/skills that you obtain from ranking up or promoting in certain Classes.
  Unlike skills, however, one does not simply obtain Abilities. A majority of Abilities are locked behind specific classes, while some others are only unlocked through specific Events or have certain requirements that need to be fulfilled.

  Traits are qualities that describe a character in some way and have a significant effect on the said character they are on. While they usually aren't magical in nature, some traits can be. Some traits can be trained further than what they currently are, while others are locked at a static level and cannot be upgraded past that point. Traits give bonuses and/or maluses on certain dice rolls and/or Events.
  
  
• 
  Skills are subjects anyone can learn, If you know a skill exists, you can train it. Some skills have certain requirements that need to be fulfilled in order to start training them.
  
  The 5 Ranks
  
  • Untrained - You are not trained in this skill or weapon. You have no clue what you are doing.
  • Novice - Your skill or weapon proficiency is improving, but it is not enough to be considered reliable on a large scale.
  • Intermediate - You are now considered competent and can be trusted to reliably perform with this skill or weapon.
  • Expert - You are extremely knowledgeable in this skill or weapon and are experienced in it. For tomes, you are able to use the spell without the tome with minor success.
  • Master - You have completely mastered this skill or weapon. You can teach others if they have the ability to learn said skill or weapon. For tomes, you are able to use the spell without the tome with major success.
  
  To go from one tier to another, you need to reach a certain amount of points, like the support system. All skills and weapon proficiencies will start at untrained and at 0 training points. (There will be exceptions, such as your Psychology skill and the subjects you learned in school during your previous life.)
  
  The normal way to gain points is to train with said skill or weapon. If you decide to train by yourself, I will roll a 2d50 for your training. However, certain actions, such as choosing to get training from your father, will net you around 20 points in a subject area.
  
  Point Requisites for each Rank
  
  • Untrained to Novice - 15 training points
  • Novice to Intermediate - 30 training points
  • Intermediate to Expert - 60 training points
  • Expert to Master - 120 training points
  
  Master is the highest point a skill can reach and you cannot increase past that. However, you are able to branch off to different skills. (Example: Science can branch off to Psychology, Alchemy, Biology, etc etc.)
  
  You are able to get training points by doing certain events, completing certain goals, winning battles, and more. Once you reach a certain amount of training points, you are able to spend them in your home or a safe location.
  
  
• 
  The inventory displays all of the items that you, Leonard, currently have in your possession. Some of these may be magical in nature, while some won't be magical. Rather, some could be sentimental in value or extremely expensive.
  
  Items will give you a bonus in a certain stat check, events, combat actions, social actions, or something similar. Some items may grant access to places or interactions you previously couldn't access or do before.
  

Battle Mechanics

The mechanics of a battle are simple. I will roll a set of rolls for the combat action and, after calculating results including the bonuses/maluses/etc accordingly, write out the narrative with regards to said end result.

Initially, this quest ran on a system of hard numbers, but due to my dyscalculia fighting me on that front I've decided to forgo such an endeavor in favor of a more narratively driven questline.

Omake System

I sound really arrogant assuming someone will eventually write an Omake for this quest, but considering someone has already earned a reward, I'd say this is reasonable. Please note that these rewards are subject to change if I feel they are making the quest too easy or too difficult for you readers.

The best way for me to reward Omakes is by giving you training points or increasing a certain dice roll from its original result. Also, the only person who can spend omake points is the person who wrote the Omake. While training, for example, with your father will give less training points in terms of rewards if you keep training with him over and over again, Omake training points will stay as a flat bonus all around. The benefits of Omake will be based on the word length of it. Not really a good system, but it's a system nonetheless.

If you want to spend your points on increasing the success rate of a combat/social sction, you have to spend them before the roll is completed, and you can only increase it by a max of 20.

Rewards

250-Word Omakes - 2 points, +4 to a combat/social action roll.
500-1000 Word Omakes - 4 points, +8 to a combat/social action roll.
1000+ Word Omakes - 10 points, +20 to a combat/social action roll, or an interlude of your choice
(2 additional points per 500 words after 1000, minimum of one interlude every 10 updates)

If you want to spend your points, please be sure to @ me so I can see your message.


Rewarded Readers
@SeekerofDreams - 5 training points, 5 stat points, or +10 to any Dice Roll
@Ghostkiller1 - 10 training points, 10 stat points or +20 to any Dice Roll

Support System
The support system in this quest is based on the one in the actual Fire Emblem games, but the way you earn the ranks are a little different. You earn support points for completing social actions, battle actions, or one-time events with certain characters.


Ways to Gain Support Points

---

Social Actions

Interactions that involve talking with other characters. Besides the typical free-talk options that are yearly, this also includes Paralogues, Support Conversations, and more to be described later.
Normal successful rolls will reward 10 points. Rolls that are natural crits will reward 15-20 points if you crit a social action roll.

Battle Actions

An action that is taken when you defeat an enemy(ies) with another character in combat. 5-15 Points per enemy defeated together, varying depending on how many are defeated and how powerful said enemies were.
A minimum requirement of C Rank Support is needed to start gaining support points.

Events

Events are objectives or missions that award various rewards. These are separate from Paralogues, Xenologues, and Support Conversations, though that isn't to say they're mutually exclusive.
Usually, they reward support points depending on if the objective requires you to help/interact with someone.
A minimum requirement of C Rank Support is needed to start gaining support points through this action, along with the corresponding Event itself.

The Support Ranks

---

There are four support ranks; C Rank, B Rank, A Rank, and finally, S Rank.

C Rank is the equivalent of an acquaintance/recently met friend. You just met them and don't know much about them besides their name and what they look like, among other things that might be public information otherwise.

B Rank is the equivalent of an amiable friend you know a good amount of. You don't know them fully quite yet, but you know a good deal of their interests and ideas for the future, along with some secrets. They are willing to have personal conversations with you and vice versa.

A Rank is the equivalent of a best friend/ally forged in war. You and this other person hold an incredible amount of trust and respect for each other. You know a lot about eachother and, chances are,

S Rank is the equivalent of a romantic partner/siblings/parents. Your relationship is essentially immovable and is set in stone. S Rank is only applicable to one set of two characters and is irreversible, but provides a major boost for certain events. The only exceptions to this rule are Sibling Supports and Parent-child Supports.

You will never instantly pass into S Rank and never go down a support rank once you pass it, but you can lose points.

The Support Ranks of other people can stack atop each other, potentially making certain combat/social action rolls much easier than they really should be.
