    Oookay, Attempt number one of the Character that I discussed with Rethel =3 If there's something I must change or should I need to elaborate more detail, I shall be happy to do so. Also I noticed that there seemed to be nobody who took the 'one available Red gem, so I thought I'd take a shot there, I can just replace it with a vulnerary if that's preferred.]


    Name: Ausifa Elahmer

    Age: ~25?

    Gender: Male

    Title: None yet

    Tier: Base Tier - Light Mage [priest? o.o should he be able to heal to as a light mage? >.>]

    Weapon Type: Light Tomes

    Build Type: Skilled

    Weapons: Purge, Ellight, Light

    Items: Vulnerary [3/3], Red Gem, Coin X 1

    Appearance: Ausif has a Tall lithe structure at around 6'2", being quite flexible and stronger than he looks. [which doesn't mean much for a mage honestly.] He also has an elaborate Fore-head tattoo that is often hidden beneath his hat or his hair.



    Personality: Ausif displays himself most often as a standard calm, Intelligent Mage type, seeming to always be in perfect control of his emotions no matter the situation, only occasionally having been known to even flinch visibly. He 'is' however known to have a razor sharp wit and to be completely honest with things he says... Sometimes Brutally honest, though he can display tact when it is relevant to achieving proper ends. He also has a habit of feeling the need to 'put someone in their place' for certain reasons, whether someone is acting prideful, disrespectful, unnecisarily entitled... He's not the type to be left in the presence of spoiled nobles for extended periods of time. Regardless of his other qualities, He demonstrates a vast capability to learn, strategize effectively, and execute effective team-work where possible, though he may not be the most friendly companion, He is no less dedicated to minimizing the casualties around him.




    History:

    Ausif comes from the far nother, In the Codoron Desert, Though little is known about him from before he moved Southward aside from his being a half-breed Laguz Exile of a breed that he doesn't share with people. Reportedly, he has moved southward to escape hunting parties that were attempting to 'take his hide', so to speak, due to some as yet unknown event that he also won't share, but it has led to him wandering the Chaotic Southern countries.

    He did some basic mercenary work for a short while, experimenting with different weapons and fighting styles to find which would fit him best, ultimately settling upon the use of Magical Tomes, and recieving rudimentary training from a fellow mercenary Mage. For a couple of years this went on, though his reputation wasn't as flashy as most of the others, he didn't desire it to be, being that he was trying to remain under the radar, but the time as a mercenary sufficed for gaining him certain Connections that would be helpful to him for years to come. The most important factor, to him, about his time as a mercenary was the experience, and the analysis of battles that took place around him, coupled with certain other qualities of his allowed him to quickly develope a valuable basic knowledge of combat.


    As things turned out, word eventually reached the local mercenary groups of his head being valuable to certain parties up north, though some had no reason to turn on him for it, enough became a threat that he was inticed to dissapear once more. A certain friend of his suggested that a good place to vanish to would be the Edean Military, They'd likely have enough need of able fighters that they'd allow a willing former mercenary to enlist, and nobody hunting him would expect him to turn in the midst of a Country's Military Force.

    It took a little convincing, given that he was a complete stranger from a foreign land, but perhaps it was considered that adding some diversity to the forces would be beneficial, or perhaps some mercenary work had been noticed, Either way, his induction into the Edean Army was fairly fluid and routine. He had only one worry on his mind, The secret that he was thoroughly keeping being found out by someone he couldn't trust, He had to be very careful not to become suspicious or He could be in some serious trouble.


    Of course, the Country was already in a thorough state of war, And it took no time at all for him to be assigned to the front-line, Even though quite a stranger, He assigned to a unit serving under one, General Thane, one who was likely to utilize his skills regardless of his origins. When he asked, all information that he was given on Thane was that he was an incredible man, a Brilliant commander, a Great Warrior with strong loyalty to his country, and despite his capability in battle, still was one of the Kindest people in Edea. There was much conflict in his mind as he traveled to join up with the platoon, He was very cautious about his secret, but this was going to be front-line combat, He needed to trust the commander he'd be serving under, and likewise would need to acquire the Commander's trust as well.

    Under such necessity he approached General Thane, requested a private conversation, he considered perhaps that he was only allowed to have that privacy because the men imagined General thane could anihilate him if he turned out to be an assassin, which in his current state and close quarters was very likely. In the soon acquired privacy he Confided in the General, sharing his true story and every detail about himself that could be considered relevant to one's commander, though it was unacceptable to be completely secretive from the rest of the platoon, certain details were allowed to be kept silent until Ausif would feel comfortable making them known. For the Time being it would be more than enough that The Commander knew everything, and still trusted him to be a member of the platoon, it was an interesting sensation, being trusted by someone who was a stranger to him, he felt the distinct urge to avoid betraying that trust.

    It was quickly revealed to the other members of the platoon that the new addition was an 'exile' from one of the beast races from the northern lands, though he expected some tension to be caused by this, particularly due to the aggression with some southern beast races, It seemed to be a lesser issue due to coming from 'lands of order' and because of Thane expressing no issues with his presence.

    Reading these CS's now.

    And I like this part:
    Every Fire Emblem needs that ambiguously gendered male.
    I can think of two right off the top of my head. Lucius (FE7) and Shinon (FE9&10). lol
    And both were pretty valuable.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Oh, yeah, @Shoryu: That Red Gem, I believe Agta's character had. He's of course left us now, so you can have it.
    And I like the half-breed bit. I just realized, this will give us two Anima Mages. Would you perhaps be willing to RP a Light Mage instead? If not, I can understand, but I wanted to ask. Otherwise, I guess you're accepted (though I'm also unsure about the pic of Joshua).

    @Mystyltainn: Accepted, though I am unable to see the image at the moment, so I'm curious on that point.

    HAHAH, I like that idea =P It's always funny when you come across a character who's 'male' and 'pretty' and 'badass' all rolled into one XD

    I was unsure about using joshue also, but he's one of my favorites from one of the games, also a 'pretty boy' btw XD, and the process of finding a satisfactory picture was REALLY wearing at my nerves XD 90% of Fire emblem style designs are terrible DX

    yay, red gem *likes shiny things*

    And I don't have anything personally 'against' playing a light mage =3 Wind was my first favorite XD If we were using Path of radiance style mage classes, we'd have wind/fire/lightning mages separate XD I guess, light mage would function kinda liiiike, Shooting lasers? XD Which I could of course have plenty of fun with =3 come to think of it, that gives me some interesting twists for that 'secret' we were discussing for so long Xd

    - - - Updated - - -

    Edit: Made some changes =3 I don't mind switching him to light mage =3 I gave him the light magic tome equivalents of what I had equipped him with for Anima.

    Also changed his picture to a more unique one XD Who would ever expect a light mage to wear black >.>

    I think it's either someone new to the forum or someone making a secondary account for the purposes of being silly. They only have 1 post. That's the post in the IC they made.
    Roleplay is a cooperative effort. We're all working together to craft a story here and it's important people remember this even when you are in heated combat with another player.

    That's a good question XD I've had this situation happen a few times... I've also done it 'once', but that was because I was rediculously 'out of it' and had forgotten to submit my CS XD

    Okay, so here's the CS I came up with. I didn't exactly mean "meatshield" literally, so we'll see how that goes. I went with a Lance Cavalier, though if there's some issue with characters being mounted at the moment, I am fine with making him a simple soldier.

    -----

    Name: Richter Wilde

    Age: 27

    Gender: Male

    Title: Lightning Spear

    Tier: Base

    Weapon Type: Lances

    Build Type: Horseback

    Weapons: Javelin, Horseslayer

    Items: Vulnerary, Torch, Door Key x2

    Appearance:

    Personality: A layabout in reform, Rick takes life very lightly. He can be very arrogant when things do not go his way, but he prefers not to make a fuss over trifling matters. He knows his way around a lance, and is somewhat proven in battle, but he has a long way to go before he's as good as the other men his own age.

    Rick does not spend his free time in training. He is very much the slacker he always was, though his upbringing has made him intelligent enough to not get himself into much trouble. He can talk his way out of most situations, but he is no longer afraid to fight when the situation demands it. He often laments how many died protecting him throughout his life before he picked up his lance. This regret quickly fades when he remembers the sort of people they were to begin with.

    History: Rick was a merchant's son from the Aurora Empire. Existing primarily on the wealth of his family, he led an easy life. The most expected of him was the odd sales trips to neighboring Jinn. Living in an Empire that was typically at peace meant there was little to trouble him. During the trips to Jinn, he always had a band of his family's hired men to protect him and ensure his safe delivery or exit. Five years ago, during the most recent visit, he fell under the attack of a band of mercenaries. They would not identify who they worked for, but his men were holding them off valiantly.

    "Commander, where are you!?" he yelled. He was staying in an elegant manse on the northern border of Jinn, awaiting the arrival of some Jinneese merchants. They were supposed to hammer out a small trade agreement, but for all he knew they had already been attacked. The bottom floor was filled with soldiers scuffling, and it looked as though the mercenaries were trying to get to the stairway as they fought his men. He could see everyone that was fighting, but the man leading his troops had vanished. Several of Rick's sellswords went down, the rest closed ranks to hold back the attackers as more men rushed through the door. It looked like all was lost. 'I have to get out of here!' He had no intention of waiting for these brutes to take him with them. He bolted back to his bedroom, to grab a bag and jump out of the window. As he locked the door behind him, he caught a glance of someone in the room with him. He turned to see the captain of his men just as the brutish leader delivered a blow to the back of Rick's neck. The rest was black.

    Richter next saw daylight in Edea as he was traded off to a band of Geraden mercenaries. The employers, more than likely. They pulled him out of the caravan he has spent the last few days, and yanked the sack off of his head. He had not been allowed much sleep, nor was he offered anything other than water. He asked their captain what they could possibly want with some worthless merchant's son.

    "It's not you we want, boy. It's your damn father's money. If you ever see him again, tell him he doesn't get to choose his buyers in Jinn. We buy from him, or no one does. Simple, right?"

    All of those bargaining trips, all a ruse to get illegal goods from one country to another. His father's idea, and he was just a pawn in the plan. The fall guy if anything went wrong. He knew relations with his father had been rocky, but he assumed it was all because he had no plans for himself. His father, in the end, was just a corrupt man looking to make some money. The mercs loaded Rick into another convoy and set off for Geraden. This time he was at least offered some nourishment, but several men took turns knocking him around during the trip.

    Fortunately, the mercenary convoy tried to force their way through an Edean checkpoint, only to be split up by a small Edean force that just happened to be passing through as well. They fought off the trained military for a short while before bolting, leaving even their caravan behind. The mercenary captain had not left however. As he entered the caravan, he pulled out a dagger and forced Rick on his feet. He pressed the blade to the back of his neck, forcing Rick to walk out. As they tried to make an escape, the Edean general drove his sword through the captain's side, as Rick fell forward. He tried to crawl away, fearing for his life. The large man pulled him up and held him by the collar of shirt. He told Rick his name was General Thane, not to act so scared, and asked him who he was.

    Rick explained to the Edean general that he was from Aurora, but would say no more, other than he no longer had a home he intended on going back to. Finally freed, Rick took up a lance and vowed to fight for the country that saved his life. His old life died that day, and his careless days with it. He was now a commoner among the Edean peoples.

    Five years later, Rick is now an amiable cavalier. He has much to learn, and still often spends his free time in taverns and an occasional brothel. His ability to be more useful tossing javelins has earned him the half-mocking nickname Lightning Spear. His life as a merchant is no more, but trying to get him to take things seriously is still a daunting task for anyone making the attempt.

    I have to read 3 new CS sheets, plus work on the co-op post tonight. On top of that I've got some advanced calculus to do, but I should manage to get it all done.

    The Raja person is most likely a newcomer to RPing. I'll also send them a PM to ask them to make a CS sheet or what-not. Worst comes to worst, we'll grab a mod to delete the post for us, so it's no big deal.

    EDIT: So Rick is an Aurorian noble who's family was attacked my mercenaries? Sounds too familiar for me to accept the character, but for me to judge it would be a conflict of interest (since I don't want to have another character who is basically just like mine). I'll let the other GMs have a look, but I'd like it if he wasn't an Aurorian nobleman, too. We've already got plenty of that to go around.

    So, as much as I'd hate to say it, I'm going to have to shoot down that CS as it stands. I'm sure we can work something out.

    Just wondering, can anybody see Tal's image? I might have to use a different link, or something...

    And yes, Lucius and Shinon were both total badasses.
