Alternate Origins

Alternate Origins provides access to starting gear based upon a selected origin, related to various mods designed for multiple RPG games, using a similar name. Mostly focused upon class-based starts to relate the use of such an RPG mod name, players will use crafting to identify the books that represent posible origins and use them to claim the gear of that origin. In the same way of the mods inspiring this one, this does mean that this mod will only impact the very beginning of a playthrough. This mod is absolutely intended to have support for custom classes and content mods.

Everything begins with an "Unknown Volume", which can either be converted into a "Secret Tale" or identified as a Volume matching the Vanilla game or another supported content mod. Using the selected Volume will provide an "Unknown Book", with 9 possible options:

* Pyra the Inferno - The path of the Warrior (Vanilla: Melee)
* Astra the Light - The path of enlightenment (Vanilla: Melee)
* Venta the Breeze - The path of the Archer (Vanilla: Ranged)
* Stiria the Frost - The forgotten sealed path (Vanilla: Ranged)
* Unda the Water - The path of the Summoner (Vanilla: Minion)
* Luna the Phantom - The path of forbidden power (Vanilla: Minion)
* Fulga the Thunder - The path of the Mage (Vanilla: Magic)
* Gaia the Stone - The nature protector's path (Vanilla: Melee)
* Memoria the Purity - The pathless of tranquil harmony (Vanilla: Neutral)

Current Mod Support:
> Thorium, Clicker, Spirit, Artificer, Calamity, Dragonball, Cerebral, Thrower (BC), Metroid

There is also Ruina the Void, capable of resetting one's origin, but there is no way to attain it. Be cautious about accepting Memoria, the classless path is one typically to forgo a starting weapon. The other uncertain books may vary depending upon the volume that lead to it. Typically, Astra is about speed or support, Stiria attempts to recall the lost art of Throwing, Luna is about charms or enchantments, and Gaia is about tanking.

Beyond the origins of the nine attained from different volumes, there are also the Secret Tales as even further available origins. Here, there are a few unusual vanilla-based origins available for those with very niche tastes, along with where many additionally supported stand-alone custom classes appear when it is not collected within a volume. The complete collection of supported mods is an ongoing work in progress.

Once an origin is selected, the origin will provide some very early gear. This is typically a weapon or tool, an accessory, and some basic armor. Then there is some kind of bonus item, along with the "Unknown Profile". This last treat is because I have some personal interest in designing vanity styles. As it is only starting vanity, it will typically be a blended makeshift style, rarely a complete set. It won't be perfect, encouraging gaining additional vanity replacements along the way, but hopefully being a meaningful enough beginning. The "Classic Style" represents the style of the Book that was chosen originally (does not work for Tales), while the "Familiar Style" is there if you want your efforts in character creation to be preserved despite starting with armor. Additional styles will be added as possible profiles overtime, another ongoing work in progress.
