CREDITS
Jaune was in bed when those words appeared right in front of him. He had kept himself awake, waiting for everyone else to fall asleep. Only for him to almost scream in shock when the floating wall of text appeared just a few inches from his face. Jaune closed his eyes and took several deep breaths. Was the guilt about what he was about to do causing him to see things? The next thought was if this was his semblance, but that couldn't be right. His aura wasn't even unlocked. He tried to unlock it in the past, but his dad somehow always found out. Finally, with a deep breath, Jaune pressed the NEW GAME option. Said screen disappeared before being replaced with a new one.
PLEASE ENTER YOUR FULL NAME:_
"Alright, Jaune Arc"
Hello Jaune Arc, and welcome to Remnant the Game. The game where every little choice matters (no do-overs), and what you do will help determine the world's fate.
" Gee, no pressure." Went through Jaune's mind as he read on.
Would you like to enter character customization or continue with your current build?
Current build? That was a surprise; Jaune wasn't aware he had an existing build. He still needed to be trained in fighting. He pressed the current build option.
Would you like to be Human Knight (civilian)? ( y / n )
" Huh, that sounds interesting. But I wonder what the other options are ?" Picking the no options, Jaune was brought back to the prompt. When choosing the other option, an exhaustive list of different Human and Faunus-looking people. Various names ranged from Orc, Sylvari, warforged, and everything in between. The two that caught his eye the most were; Nephilim and Faunus.
"Alright, might as well see what they are in order." Jaune wanted to see what said three would offer him.
NEPHILIM
Nephilim is a humanoid race that, while usually the result of a celestial being and a humanoid race, There have been documented cases of one being born from another Nephilim and said race.
STATS: Your Charisma increases by 2. One score of your choice increases by 1.
WINGS: You have a wingspan of 30 feet.
SPEED: Your base walking speed is 3.5 miles per hour (mph). You have a flying speed of 10 miles per hour.
VISION: You are able to see in dim light up to 60 feet as if in daylight and darkness as if like dim light.

"Huh, wonder what that other language is."
INATE POWER: Strength - Your base Strength is increased by 50%. Your attacks deal 50% more damage. Wearing armor can't prevent you from flying.
Choose NEPHILIM as your race. ( y / n )
FAUNUS
A Faunus is a humanoid race that, at times, can appear like a regular human and interbreed with them. They are classified as distinct species because they possess different animal traits.
"Ho boy. I sincerely hope that that is a scientific description. Otherwise, one could misinterpret that very easy."
SPEED: You have a base walking speed of 3.5 mph. Depending on your subrace, you may have a unique terrain speed.
VISION: You are able to see in dim light up to 60 feet as if in daylight and darkness as if like dim light.
LANGUAGES: You know and speak Minstrali.

Crocodile
FAUNUS TRAIT: Scales or Teeth
STATS; Your Constitution increases by 1
SPECIAL TERRAIN (Water): You gain a swim speed of 12 miles per hour.
Choose Faunus as your race? (y/n)
Jaune thought long and hard about which of the two he should pick. Both had their pros and cons. "While both of the races have similar base traits, the main difference being what stats are increased. If I go with the Faunus, my stat boost is already chosen. Plus, there's the fact that Beacon is landlocked, meaning that my special terrain would be mostly useless. It'd be best to go with the Nephelim. The wings would allow me to fly, making it easier to fight Grimm, and see any surprises that might be lurking ahead." Jaune went back to the Nephilim option and pressed the yes option.
Congratulations for thoroughly thinking through what race you would prefer to be; you have been given 1 point in both Wisdom and Intelligence.
Choose which stat you would like to increase:
STRENGTH
DEXTERITY
CONSTITUTION
INTELLIGENCE
WISDOM
CHARISMA
Again, Jaune thought about what stat would be most beneficial. After a few seconds of internal debate, he decided to put the boost in dexterity.
Now that you have chosen your starting race, it is time to choose your starting class. Choose from the following classes.
Shield Master
Knight
Guardian Knight
Brawler
Gunslinger
Immediately Jaune dismissed the Gunslinger, Brawler, and Shield Master options. About to click on the Knight option, his eyes fell back on Guardian Knight. He wanted to fight with a sword and shield, and those three didn't seem like they used those.
"Wait, what exactly does a Guardian Kight have that a Knight wouldn't?" Jaune clicked on the Guardian Knight option.
Whereas Knights are in service to their king and swear loyalty to them, Guardian knights serve no such monarch. They live to protect the people from tyranny, wherever it might be. Should said tyranny arise from foreign or domestic powers, it makes no difference to the Guardian Knight.
ARMOR: You are experienced with Light, Medium, and Heavy Armor. You are experienced with Shields.
WEAPONS: You are experienced with both mundane and specialized weapons.
STATS: You have a 25% increase in both Wisdom and Constitution
SKILLS: You are a natural at Animal Handling, Nature, Perception, and Survival.
EQUIPMENT: You start with a mundane weapon, a shield, and leather armor.
ANIMAL COMPANION: You are gifted with an animal companion you may always keep on your person. Alternatively, you may let them roam free and call on them when in need. The companion levels up with you, will always understand you, and respawn when killed. (respawn takes one week to complete)
Choose Shield Guardian as your class? (y/n)
Jaune was 100% certain that if the box had been physical, it would have shattered when he hit the yes icon. Not only would he be skilled in things that would help him become a huntsman and get an advantage by using a sword and shield, but he would also be getting an animal companion.
You have completed your character customization and are almost ready to begin.
"Wait... almost! What do I have to do actually to begin?" His question went ignored as a new screen popped up.
