I'm pretty sure I have no sanity left in my head as I am doing yet another story. This one being a Gamer OC in Fire Emblem Fates.
Flarea: Quick notice the path this will be going down is... well, we'll keep it a secret for now, but there should be plenty of clues along the way to give off which story path this will follow.
Lloyd: Also the Gamer's Stat's and Skills will be following classical Fire Emblem Logic just so you all know.
Marie: So without further ado let's start up this new story.
[[]]
Opening my eyes I found myself standing in a pure white space, nothing around me.
"Okay..." I said looking around, "This isn't how I planned to start my day."
Right then a screen popped up in front of me, message on it was as follows.
Congratulations, you've been chosen to be the newest among the people of the multiverse to claim the title and the abilities of The Gamer!
"Well that's interesting." I said with a smile on my face, I loved that webcomic.
So what's your first name Gamer?
I smiled and said my name aloud. "Irwin." I said, not sure why it didn't ask for my last name, but whatever.
Irwin huh? Nice name, well I'm your tutorial guide for this little tutorial of your new ability. Now fortunately for you, you don't have to vocalize what you want for your abilities to kick in. That way you won't have people staring at you when you say stats in the middle of a public area when no one is around. Go ahead and think Menu.
'Menu.' I thought.
[Menu]
Stats
Inventory
Skills
Help
"Nice." I said, a help tab is always nice to have in case I need a quick refresher on something.
Okay so now that your menu is open, why don't you check out your stats huh? I mean you don't exactly have anything in your inventory at the moment, plus the only skills you have are Gamer's Body and Mind, and you probably already know what those are.
"Fair point." I said, "Stats"
[Stats]
Name: Irwin
Lvl: 1
EXP 0/ [Incomplete]

Gender: Male

"What the heck!? Why is my Name, Level and current EXP Tally the only things marked?" I cried out in confusion, "Still these others stats remind me of..." I snapped my fingers, "The Fire Emblem series... minus movement of course."
Well, you see... You're being sent into the World of Fire Emblem Fates, so there are some things that need to be... reworked a bit.
"Like my race?" I demanded a little annoyed.
Well that's the thing, something like a species actually means a fair bit in the Fire Emblem games so it was decided you should have the chance to re-work your race if you wanted.
"Okay fair enough I suppose, what are my options?" I asked.
Possible Races-
Human/Beorc
Cat Laguz
Tiger Laguz
Lion Laguz
Wolf Laguz
Hawk Laguz
Crow Laguz
Heron Laguz
Dragon Laguz
Manakete
Taguel
Kitsune
Wolfskin
Branded
"Why are the Dragon Laguz not split up into their colors?" I asked.
We got to have a case of randomization in there somewhere.
"Fair enough." I said looking at my options, if I'm headed to the world, or at least the continent, that Fates takes place in I should probably think hard on this... or not, I've always been a glutton for punishment I suppose.
"Branded." I said.
Are you sure about that?
"Yep, I mean it's not like I'm going to Tellius anytime soon or anything." I said, "Besides the Branded are known to have inherited something from their Laguz Parent that manifests differently depending on the person."
Very well then, but you don't get to chose your Laguz Blood.
"Fair enough." I said
Now then, for your stats you get to pick from a list of classes.
At that moment a wheel appeared in front of me, I gave it a few spins and saw every base class (Minus the unique ones) on there, from every game, Granted I have'n played anything that came before the Tellius saga... speaking of which, maybe I should show my appreciation to that series.
"Soldier class, Radiant Dawn version." I said.
Well you're are a real piece of work, flinging everything that I'm not expecting at me. Okay so just a quick reminder, as a Tellius soldier has the advanced class of Halberdier and then to Sentinel.
"I loved that Radiant Dawn had two class advances." I said smiling, "Yeah I'm sure."
Okay then, now just as a quick reminder, you're not playing a video game, so you are not limited to just using Spears, in fact you can use just about any weapon if you want... Well not tomes, scrolls or staves seeing as you didn't chose a magical class to fight as.
Anyway, let's get yours stats set up.
Name: Irwin
Lvl: 1
EXP 0/ 100
Race: Branded
Gender: Male
HP: 20/20
Strength: 8
Magic: 0
Skill: 8
Speed: 8
Defense: 7
Resistance: 2
Luck: 0
"I'm not liking my Luck, but that'll go up in time." I said to myself.
And now your Branded Blood will give you a random stat boost.
"I wonder what I'll get?" I asked myself.
Resistance +1
Okay a boost to one of my dangerously low stats, good.
Now for some basic equipment so you can blend in.
With that a flash filled my vision and I found myself in an iron hauberk, holding an Iron Lance and an iron shield. My clothes having a slightly green tint to them, I guess I could say I'm a Crimean with this armor... In fact it might be a good idea to build myself a cover story before I meet people.
There you go, how seeing as you chose to more or less follow the Soldier path you will start with a 'D' Rank for Lances while everything else will start at 'E' Rank skill.
"What about Skills?" I asked.
You can gain Skills through moments of sheer luck, doing something specific, upon a Level up, or by using Skill Scrolls that you found or bought.
"Fair enough." I said adjusting my grip on my lance.
You'll also be given a Vulnernary in your inventory to help keep yourself alive when you're injured.
I think that's everything, you should be all ready to go, if I've forgotten anything you can review it in your Help tab.
With that, my vision vanished a flash of blue light.
'I wonder where I'll end up, Nohr or Hoshido.' I thought as my vision faded, 'I kinda want to end up in Nohr to meet up with Corrin sooner, but Hoshido is so much cheerier... wait is Corrin going to be a he or she?'
[[]]
Alright folks, that's the opening.
Now something I want you all to know is that whenever Irwin levels up he will not be choosing his own stat points, rather I will be following fire Emblem tradition and rolling some dice and giving him the proper stat increases based on the percentages on Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn.
Meaning that this will likely prove to be a game of luck for our hero in the long run. Of course if I roll thing that only tally up to one increase each time he levels up then I'm re-rolling, seriously if in three levels he only gains a total of 3 stats I'm not letting that fly, I never even did that in any of the regular FE games... except FE: Heroes because I can't cheese myself some good stats in that game.
Now that's not to say Iwin can't get his own personal Stat increases, I'm going to find a way to do that without the need of items like Energy Drops and the like.
Anyway I'm not too sure when this will next update but it should within a week or two.
