That is entirely OK, Apollo. Thank you for your interest~
Eh, I'm kind of OK with somehow having a Manakete with a healing staff, somehow. Don't suppose anyone else would even remotely feel like making a healer? XD
Ah. What I wrote could be misunderstood. I meant, like, I was OK with a Manakete being a healer because, yeah, I was assuming that the fighting classes would be more popular anyways. Um. Something like that. Unless you terribly much desire to make one.
Anyways, thanks for your interest~
... Images of random unsympathetic thug stage bosses are hard to find... XD
You can post your character whenever you wish, really. I will be posting the OOC when I have finished preparing some details that may or may not take more or less time, but it doesn't really make any difference if I get to read the sheets before or after if you've already finished it.
Oh, and for those who haven't decided their story yet. You’re perfectly free to link your story to existing characters that I have mentioned, like kings or such, or even to characters I haven’t created that might be princes or princesses of other nations or other highly esteemed people that I have no idea of. If it isn’t acceptable I’ll say so, otherwise, feel free and I’ll adapt the story to that~ Of course, anything normal is fine too. Yeah, things and details. Haha. ... And it would help if at least one of you is a trusted Grado someone, seeing how King Rioga sees fit to entrust you with the fate of the world and all such. Most appropriate would be if someone was a Grado Lord of some kind (Lord as in class, not actual Lord, haha), seeing how Fire Emblem, but that isn't a necessity at all. All up to you guys.
Some random details and game mechanics I felt like writing more about.
Recruiting
As we go along, I am going to be adding more and more characters. They’re obviously not going to be as important as your characters, and can be benched instantly if you don’t want to bring them along, but in true Fire Emblem spirit I will be placing characters here and there with the intentions of you somehow being able to recruit them. These will be easier to recruit. … That said, this is a roleplay, and not a game. It is probably possible to have every single NPC in the entire game join the party at some point or another if you have unnatural persuasive power. If you see a character that you’re like “I WANT THAT GUY” then feel free to attempt, just know that switching sides is kind of an odd thing to do when it isn’t prepared for. Of course, I will be dropping subtle and not-so-subtle hints at who might be recruitable and who might be appropriate to recruit him or her with, but honestly, you may try with whoever you want. Though, yeah, conversations will probably not pause the game around them, because that would be inconvenient. We’ll see what happens~! It would help if you all aren’t too suspicious of new people, though, because the Fire Emblem rate of unknown people joining is just unnatural anyway! XD
NPCs
As for the NPC units themselves, you’ll get to pick a limited number of them to come along at any time. They will grow in strength as you allow them to fight, or be left behind if you don’t, just like in the game itself. They will follow the command of anyone who gives them orders, though it most likely makes sense that they follow the orders of the one closest to them. I will, however, be providing you a little tool to help you guys out. Haha. Oh, and in case you’re wondering… if any player drops this roleplay, their character will be reduced to the status of NPC and join the ranks of all the other NPCs. In any case, they can all talk and be talked to should anyone feel like it. You can all equip and control the NPC promotions as you feel like it from the storage, because yeah, you will be buying stuff from armories and the like, too. Or, if you find all that annoying, I’ll can do all that myself. Because I’m flexible.
Support
Fire Emblem wouldn’t be Fire Emblem without some random shipping going on, eh? Should you repeatedly command two characters to stand next to each other (any characters, including player characters) you will eventually trigger Support Conversations. In case of between NPCs, I’ll be writing them myself. In any other case, Support Conversations are completely separate to actual conversations and should be done in their entity in PMs or in the OOC or someplace otherwise separate (maybe even in a chat? Dunno! XD) before the full conversation can be posted somewhere. Because fun. Of course, if a player(s) wants to do it some other way, that is entirely fine, too, simply suggest it and I'll take it into account. I’ll be keeping track of the support-levels you guys have been stacking up, from C to A, and I will have no limit on how many conversations a character can have, and with all likelihood NPCs who reach A may fall in love with their targets, assuming the other is of the opposite gender. This isn’t because I am against same-sex stuff, just… uh… Fire Emblem stuff. Do note, though, it is entirely possible for other players to ship a player character with an NPC by placing the NPC next to them, but the player can simply decide not to trigger the Support Conversation if they don’t want to, so yeah. XD
Any comments or suggestions of change to anything you've read is welcome and will be taken into account. Yeah, that's about that. Haha.
I also want to inform you all, with prior notice so no roleplaying gets disrupted, that I will be taking a trip to Ireland fRom 16 to 21 March. I don't know If where we go will have wireless but I'll try to post when I can using my phone. I look towards roleplaying with you all. :>.
Um. Isn't "This is EXCELLENT! Very well thought out." a comment? ... Oh, well! ... And being absent for a smaller while is completely OK, we'll just make sure to take that into consideration at the time.
I could probably post the OOC right now, when I think about it. I pretty much have everything I need already in the current first three posts. But I am wondering a bit, the part with the story, doesn't that really belong in the first IC post? But then again, isn't it expected that the story-part be the first you read in the OOC? ... Or should I just post that in both? ... Haha. Oh, well.
The fIrst IC post might be something we could react to, like a description of what is happening where our characters are. The sounds of battle, or the calm of a House? Do we see something? Is someone talking to us? The more personal, real time events of the story where we begin. These things aRe not in the OOC so I think you could use them to write something.
Like I might post something in response to a post like that (say that you post we're on the run and we meet straggled footmen of the enemy, I post that my character shouts "More foes ahead!" to warn our group and slows down slightly to unhinge his weapon as they engage.), while there's nothing like that I can respond to in the story you have in the OOC because that's more a "what is going on in the world" than "what is happening right here" kind of text.
:>.
Is this the kind of response that was helpful to you?
Absolutely. You just happen to be the only one who posts any discussion right now other than me, so I don't have much to say.
Also, yes, it is somewhat helpful, thank you.
I am just making sure an ample amount of time has gone for me to consider and ponder about things, and for random potential interested people to see this thread, before I get things truly going.
What do you mean, "accepting new people"? We still don't even have an OOC or any posted characters. We'll be accepting new people all the way until we think we've made a mistake. And currently we don't. So yepp, you're very much welcome~
Here you go. The first and last posts are largely unchanged, but the middle one on the character sheet section and immediately below it has received some updates. Not in the list of classes, but other things around it.
Feel free to do as you please.
Oh, and thanks to 71342 for the image of the bad guy to the left.
So, um, are you guys still interested? I know @71342 is on a trip somewhere for a couple of more days, but, yeah. If the case is that you've simply missed that I posted the OOC, this is a "Weee~!". If the case is that you're intending on joining but is working in secret somehow, it would help if I knew. If you simply have had other things to do and such or any other reasons with which you simply haven't looked here but are intending to do something, that is entirely fine. And of course, any circumstance that makes it so you won't be joining is also completely fine, it will still calm my heart to know for sure. It would simply help if I had a status report to know what I can expect. Thank you in advance.
Oh yeah, I saw this was up but I haven't begun work on my character yet. Been a bit busy with my own roleplay I am running and the work I've been doing on a sheet for a nation roleplay. I will probably try and get something started today.

Completely understandable, and I'm glad to hear it~
