-> Foreword This is a playtest in order to make a reliable Fire Emblem TableTop RPG for fans of the series that want to play alongside other real people. The beginning may take a little bit to work out, since this is an untested system. I plan to have this as a drop-in-drop-out game, where you can join/drop between battles (though I'm not afraid to kick people in the middle of a battle, if the need arises)
-> Background Tensions have been running high between the five dominant countries of Kywyth, the Free States of Abilari, Ruque, Peyelia, and the Suaeji Tribelands. There has been talk of the dead coming back to unlife and mighty dragons returning after centuries of extinction. For one reason or another, violent Ruque has always been at odds with the peaceful Peyelia. In the past few years, however, more Ruque bandits have been invading Peyelian lands and causing Peyelia's ally, the Free States of Abilari, to jump to its aid. This has caused all three countries to teeter on the verge of all-out war.
Kyweth - True Neutral. Known for Magic. The Free States of Abilari - Chaotic Good. A Country still trying to be united. Full of skilled fighters in all 12 of its "free states".
Wildewynn - Current ruling state of Abilari.
Ruque - Chaotic Evil. More violent in recent years. Peyelia - Lawful Good. Peaceful country that people turn to for sanctuary. The Suaeji Tribelands - Neutral Good. Home of the Laguz.
-> Plot You lot are a band of mercenaries from Abilari, sent out by your state to aid Peyelia in what can only be seen as the beginnings of war. You are led by a Lord hailing from the current ruling state of Abilari and a Peyelian Tactician trained in strategy. Though most of you should be from one of those two countries, there are others that hail from more removed places. They are not here by their country's call, but have found some personal reason for joining.
-> Game Mechanics My eclectic list of game mechanics can be found here
One notable change I'm making: Taguel is being changed to Laguz. This is only a aesthetic change, letting people be more than giant rabbits. It's restricted to animals that can attack (sorry my Heron Laguz peeps)
-> Character Creation Max 3 characters per player.
Step One: Pick a Class from the list below [[ Overview of classes here ]] [[ Class specifics (such as skills and weaknesses) here ]]
Note that Main units are story-specific and need special approval from myself. Special units are also special (obv obv) and will be less likely to be handed out.
Step Two: Note your Class's Base Stats from Here and Growth Rate from Here
Step Three: Create your Unit's Base Growth Rate You have 290 points that can be spent in 5 point increments. Min in a stat is 15 points and max is 80 points.
The Stats Health (HP) - Amount of HP Strength (Str) - Damage dealt (physical weapons) Magic (Mag) - Damage dealt (magical weapons) Skill (Skl) - Used for Skill triggering and Critical Hit chance Speed (Spd) - Dodging and multiple attacks Luck (Lck) - Avoiding attacks and Hit Rate Defense (Def) - Taking less damage (physical) Resistance (Res) - Taking less damage (magical)
Step Four: Create a blurb about your character and choose their birthday. Things for the blurb include personality, hobbies, basic background, etc. Birthday is Month and Day
Other Things You begin play with 1 Weapon of each type of weapon you can wield (if you can wield more than one), as well as 1 Vulnerary. The Weapons available are: Swords: Bronze Sword, Rapier (Lord Only) Lances: Bronze Lance Axes: Bronze Axe Bows: Bronze Bow Tomes: Fire, Thunder, Wind, Flux (Dark Mage Only) Staves: Heal Stones: Beaststone, Dragonstone
I'll start once there's at least 1 unit in each category (except Main, which needs both) [[ the bolded sections of the "Classes Open" list indicate categories ]]
-> The Form
Example: Username: xX_Terei_Xx Name: Valiance Class: Manakete (Divine) Birthday: April 25th About: Though thousands of years old, "Vali" looks to be in her late teens. She appears to possess a lot of knowledge lost ages ago, but she doesn't care to share most of it. Her favorite food is fish and she loves things that shine.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask in this thread.

Username: RafeRavel Name: Kyra Class: Dark Mage Birthday: May 21 About: Kyra is a young mage with an affinity for darkness. She hails from a family that doesn't like magic, but she holds a deep love for her arcane abilities. She loves learning and sewing, and her favorite food is shrimp.
Their Speed is the same, so no one attacks more than once. I think Kyra's probably thinking it's time to either form a Support or find some good terrain. Mages aren't good at working alone and they're really squishy!
Let's look at this again, but put Kyra on a Fort (+2 Def and +20 Avoid) and make Vali stand right next to her (activating Kyra's Hex Skill)
Kyra still won't do any damage, but at least she's now better protected against Vali's onslaught and is more likely to hit!
Now let's say Vali and Kyra are tired of fighting with each other. They have no Support Ranks with each other, but they decide to Pair Up and work together.
Let's see who should be the Lead and who should be Support!
Kyra as Lead: +2 Str, +2 Mag, +2 Def, +2 Res Vali as Lead: +3 Mag, +3 Def
Vali doesn't use Magic, so the better option would be having Kyra as the lead. Vali's increased stats from the Dragonstone also give Kyra some other nice bonuses: +1 Str and +1 Def
Now, Kyra is better equipped to handle enemies and Vali gets to sit back and relax. Though the Manakete won't be getting EXP, Pair Up allows the two of them to work on their Support.
As a result of being teamed up, Vali also nets Kyra a nifty +10 Hit during battles. There's also some chance Vali will come to Kyra's aid in battle.
Dual Strike chance: (Combined Skill / 4) + 20 => (1) +20 = 21% Dual Guard chance: (Combined Def or Res / 4) => 4% for any attack
And that's most of combat. It's not too difficult, considering. Also, any time there's a % it means the player rolls a d100. Yay for percentiles~!

I'll make a Pegasus Knight for this when I get back in the evening from class.
And here I'll show why you went through all the trouble of Growth Rates. You see, Fire Emblem's level up system is decided by chance. In order to grow in level, you need to get a random number that's below or equal to your Growth Rate number.
For Example, here are Valiance's stats: Health (HP) :: 18/18 [80 (50+30)] Strength (Str) :: 2 (10) [75 (20+55)] Magic (Mag) :: 0 (5) [20 (5+15)] Skill (Skl) :: 1 (4) [50 (20+30)] Speed (Spd) :: 1 (3) [50 (20+30)] Luck (Lck) :: 0 [60 (0+60)] Defense (Def) :: 2 (12) [55 (15+40)] Resistance (Res) :: 2 (9) [45 (15+30)]
(#) indicates the Manakete's shifted stats
To get her Level 2 stats, I need to roll 8d100 (one die for each stat) Results: 54, 68, 11, 92, 70, 83, 6, 76
So, upon leveling up, Vali would receive the following stat increases: HP: +1 Str: +1 Mag: +1 Def: +1
These would be added to her current stats. (Note: If HP increases during battle, it adds an empty health point. i.e. 18/18 -> 18/19 in Vali's case)
