Essence ofEtrian Odyssey

You gain a free age and appearance change to whatever you like. You may also choose to be any humanoid race found in the in the Etrian Odyssey universe.

You gain a near endless amount of enthusiasm and willpower, able to push through hardship where most people would give up and break.

You become an excellent explorer with a wealth of related skills, such as how to set camps and cartography.

You gain a body that’s at least peak human (or whatever your race is) in all ways possible and able to fight against a variety of beasts and monsters.

You have great luck in finding treasure or useful materials, with it happening easier and more often than normal.

You have a highly developed sense of danger, easily feeling traps or powerful beasts and increasing in intensity the nearer the danger is.

You have a considerable amount of charisma and skill as a party leader, coordinating with allies to cover one another’s weaknesses or enhance their strengths.

You have access to two different classes from the Etrian Odyssey universe (like Landskneckts, Medics, or Alchemists), being trained in a number of related skills and abilities like weapons or magic. The specifics of this depend on the classes you choose, such as Landskneckts being skilled swords(wo)men. Any specializations are up to you, such as being a fire focused mage.

Optionally, you may have one or more Yggdrasil Labyrinths appear in your world or worlds you go to.

You may have any Etrian Odyssey characters of your choice become your companions. You may choose what relationships and history you have with each of these characters (being lovers, friends, etc.).

Optionally, you may have a one-way trip to the Etrian Odyssey universe, at any point in the story. The specifics are up you; maybe you get dropped in (default), maybe you insert yourself into or replace a certain character, maybe you get reincarnated, maybe you get merged with a local counterpart of yourself, etc. If you insert yourself into the above via this essence or other means, you are guaranteed to meet the companions chosen above under positive circumstances and develop whatever relationships are chosen (resurrecting them if they are dead by the point you enter the story, which may draw attention).
