@71342, poultry-fearing, actually! Chickens scare the living daylights out of her!

And post your CS back in the OOC! We want to read it too... ;o;

@71342 Trainees only need the level to promote, Guiding Rings is for the next step. ... Heh, Mages can't use staffs, that's for when they promote again.

Oh, and I am fine with most spelling-complications, but "Caer Paelyn" should be "Caer Pelyn". XD

Alright! Of course it doesn't entirely work until we know who said friend is, but since we know that there's no problem!

Ret is accepted~

WooT! That's good news!

It could be 70% of the cast, really, I'll ask them one by one.

The other childhood friend can be the manakete, I put that there in case the manakete needed a plot hook to join the group. Teamwork ho!~

Name: Marwood

Appearance:



Apparent Age: Young Adult

Gender: Male

Nation: Renais

Class: Cavalier

Weapon Mastery: Swords: C Lances: D

Level: 6

Background: The youngest child of Ginnava, Marwood was her bundle of joy and baby of the family. She actually took the time to teach him to ride herself. As such he desires to make her proud yet at the same time with age came distance and difference. While his mother relies on codes and formal declarations Marwood is normally on his horse with a squad of knights by the time she start issuing orders. This has caused much division between mother and son, with Marwood often leading knights in to battle against horrors without having approval from his mother.

Aside from that he is good friends with both generals, he often finds himself in there company or training with them. While many of his men pass around rumors he is to be engaged to one the generals there is little no proof of that claims. As a prince he received a formal education and lessons in history, strategy, and etiquette. He threw away etiquette preferring to spend many a night out defending villages or celebrating victory's with his men. He even formed a special group of cavaliers that ride with him to villages and towns under assault, thus with almost all his training being done on horse back his skills off it are lowered.

Currently Marwood most trusted knights are Hodge, Ismay, and Mylle. Each of them are cavaliers from the standing army of Renais and all of them make up the Renais riders. These four often leave the moment word of trouble sounds moving between towns, attacking bandits, monsters, and horrors. They have saved hundreds of lives alone, yet while hailed as hero's it troubles his mother that his free form fighting is not proper of a prince. He has a history of being rather bold and challenging letting nothing stand between him and his moral compass, politics be damned.

This has caused to get in to trouble when he chased a band of bandits in to Jehanna where he killed them. He then spent weeks there getting to know the locals, with bothering to inform the king of his visit. The next morning an envoy arrived and soon he was sipping tea with the king discussing sword play, monsters, and politics. However after the meeting he was shown the strength of Jehanna's guild leaders and Sion's second in command. Fearing the reports he quickly departed with his riders. Upon his return the generals and his mother both gave him an earful which he quickly ignored.

However with the recent threat to Grado he abandoned Renais to go and help the kingdom. Renais and Grado were historically close and he feels he must do as his great ancestor would have done and journey to help the Emperor who he admires as a good leader and warrior. He hopes to help drive back the attacks and force Renais in to action and perhaps Frelia as well.

Plot-Susceptive: Yes

Equipment and Items: Reginleif, Steel Sword

Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other: An avid singer and storyteller Marwood spent his younger days sneaking out and telling singing and telling stories at the local tavern. He has secretly wanted to be a bard but royal duties prevent that and he also wishes to marry some one he loves rather than an arranged marriage like his mother has in mind, possibly to secure a new ally. He is a sucker for a good romance book, though he doesn't like people to know. He gets very nervous around girls and has never been good at discussing women.

R-button Summarization: A Renais prince with a good heart and a rebellious streak.

@Apollosarcher Yepp, quite the prince we have here. Teh-heh. I am happy to see the information I have provided appears to have come to use. Nicely developed, too. ... Youngest child, eh? Hahaha...

... Oh, my. Three cavaliers? Then I need to ask, did he leave these behind? It sounds like it because of how you wrote it, but I need to make sure. Loyal friends would accompany their leader, because noble things. Except... yeah, that'd make too many characters early in the game. XD ... ... ... Those three names, Hodge, Ismay and Mylle... Did you intend any particular genders for those names? I honestly can't tell, except for the first one. Is that up to me? XD

Feel free to ask anything you desire of me when it comes to that visit to Jehanna. If you went too far in with a military force, you'd probably encounter Eira's Storm Guild eventually, don't know what more I'd state. She's in charge of security, after all. Or do you want me to show you locals for you to have met? XD

I'll randomly remind that Renais' reason for not acting is their military inferiority compared to Jehanna. They'd simply be cut apart by Sion's forces, just like Grado's are currently. But of course, Marwood doesn't look like a dude that cares much about that~ You are correct about the historical closeness of Grado and Renais, even if I didn't actually mention it in the opening post. Hm. Should I have? Oh, well. Haha.

So everything checks out... Except I am NOT comfortable giving you a Brave Lance to start with! It is one of the best weapons in the game, and... yeah. ... If you want something brilliant, you could have a unique weapon, simply due to the fact that you're a Renais prince. Either that, you pick a less impressive lance, or you can argue for why you think you deserve a Brave Lance. You already have C-rank fighting, which is already stronger than I initially intended you guys to start with (but since people all around picked it, I figured I'd let it slide, haha).

Edit: ... D-Rank with Lances is not enough to fight with a Brave Lance. Is this intentional?

@PlatinumSkink I'll mess with the lance, I was hoping for something like Erika's Rapier or Ephriam's lance which name escapes me now. As for the riders Hodge is a guy, Isme and Mylle. Perhaps they were stopped by the queen and that's why they didn't follow him?

As for Jehanna I was thinking like he actually stopped the bandits just inside the border then decided to spend the night in a nearby town. The king then invited the random visiting prince to the castle where he learned how strong Jehanna had gotten first hand. All the while back in Renais his mother is having conniptions over this chaos.

I played the game a lot so I know a bunch of stuff about it. Also he feels that Renais should stand up and fight Jehanna's forces. If they wait then there will only be less of them to strike back.

@Apollosarcher Reginleif. ... Honestly, you could probably have that particular lance unless you feel like designing your own, Ephraim isn't here to lay claim to it. XD ... Ooooh. That certainly works. Yupp. Go for it alone, then, lonely brave prince of Renais! ... This reminds me a lot of what Ephraim did, kind of. XD

Hm. Yeah, that could work. I can imagine that Sion would do that. Would you like me to type anything specific about the visit or are you on top of that?

Teh-heh. Of course he thinks that. Haha.

Edit: If you saw the wrong nation for a moment, you didn't see anything.

@PlatinumSkink I got the visit handled and I'll go with Reginleif and just say it's been passed down and yes it was intentional he couldn't use his brave lance as he had it but couldn't yet use it.

@Apollosarcher You seem to have missed the g in Reginleif. Other than that, Marwood is accepted~!

... Alright, uh. ... Heh. How do I say this... I wonder if anyone of the remaining is going to create someone developed to accept the Fire Emblem? ... Just wondering. ... Heh, Griswal or Kalte COULD qualify, but at the same time, they both feel... Heh...

@PlatinumSkink I see that we're no longer recruiting. So does this mean we start soon? And I dunno, I didn't feel like making a lord. They're usually the main character and we really have a bunch of main characters.

@ruler710 There are three more people that said that they were interested that I am waiting for.

And yes, I probably said that in a way that I shouldn't. Haha.

In the meantime, where do you all want to start so I can place you~? XD

@PlatinumSkink Haha. I dunno, I mean he could do it if no one else can. Otherwise I guess inside the throne room just to the left of the door would be fine. Maybe talking to his master or something. I don't have a fancy custom sprite so you can just use the regular one haha.

@PlatinumSkink I guess Marwood will start in the throne room telling the Emperor that he's the only help that's coming. I mean Marwood would most likely be asking if he can join the defense... Oh! Maybe he should get charged with protecting whoever is carrying the stone.

Nevermind guys. I remembered how to sprite from the old days. My talent with paint managed to pull me through and creat this little bad boy:



I mean it's a start but I suck at art. Haha

And Cape removed

Name: Narina
Apperance:
Apparent Age: A blossiming, young lady (True Age:24)
Gender: Female
Nation: Renais
Class: Myrmidon
Weapon Mastery: Swords-C
Level: 5
Background: Narina's past is rather complicated. Though she identifies as coming from Renais, she was born in Jehanna. Narina left Jehanna with her mother when she was three and remembers little of her familial home in Jehanna. What little she does remember is a blurred or has been blocked out by her subconscious. Narina does remember that her father was once a gambling man and not a good one at that. There were many times that her father would come home with an empty purse or in debt. It was only a matter of time before he got in debt to the wrong people. Fortunately, Narina can not for the life of her recall any of the many times when her Father came back home with broken bones or black eyes. Eventually, her mother decided that it was time to leave. Narina can recall the the she, her mother, and brothers all left for Renais while her father was out gambling. She even remembers his shouts for them, almost as if he thought they had been abducted.

With Jehanna behind her, Narina was finally able to see the light at the end of the figurative tunnel. Renais was a kind home to Narina's family as he brothers easily found jobs as field hands and her mother worked in the village by washing clothes. At night, Narina use to sit with her mother and look at the stars as she braided her hair. "One day," her mother said once, "you will achieve great things Narina. You might not know it yet but you will change the world." Those very same words would later become the beginning of many arguments between the two. As time went on, Narina realized her position in the world. She was a woman who would be raised to be the perfect wife for a man. But that was not the life she wanted for herself.

Narina would follow her brothers when they snuck out at night and watch them train with wooden swords. She would watch them until they left but would not follow. When she was sure they were gone, Narina would pick up the lightest of the swords and try to mimic their movements as they trained. She would continue trying to learn the movements until she felt as if her arms would fall off, then she would keep going. One night, her eldest brother, Kirk, noticed that she wasn't asleep in her bed and decided to go out looking for her. That was when he found her at the training grounds. Kirk simply watched from a short distance away as Narina slashed the blade at an imaginary foe and then move as if parrying a blow. While Narina was resting from a bout of training, Kirk approached her behind and simply stated "Your slashes are slow and clunky while your parries are easy to deflect."

Narina was shocked by her brother's appearance and quite simply stated that she wasn't being serious. Kirk scoffed at her as he grabbed her sword and another sword. "If you weren't serious, you wouldn't be here at this time of night." Kirk said as he threw her sword towards her and took a defensive stance with a sword. Narina knew that he wanted test her so she attacked him only to find herself planted in the dirt with his sword's tip at her throat. "Stop hiding when we train, from now on you shall participate." Kirk stated as he walked back home. Narina followed a few hours later after some more training.

Though reluctant to train with her brothers, Narina was happy that Kirk was actually willing to work with her. For nearly six years, Kirk and Narina would spare at night and Narina was surprised to actually find herself improving. But, all good thigns eventually come to an end. Kirk had been noticed by a knight when he took up a sword against some bandits and, after survivng the battle, was asked to become the knight's squire. Kirk accepted and Narina was left without a sparing partner. Yet, Narina did not give up her training. When Narina was twenty years of age, her mother had decided to arrange a marriage with a moderately wealthy merhcant for Narina. Narina denied the marriage and said, in the nicest way possible, "I am not going to marry some fool just because you wish me to. It is not the greatness I see for myself to be married to him."

With that, Narina left her mother and two brothers alone by running away from Renais. Narina had no particular destination in mind but just kept walking until she could walk no more. As if by destiny, Narina had walked straight into a village which her brother Kirk happened to be in. The newly promoted Kirk was surprised to see Narina but did not press her on the reason for being there. Instead, Kirk provided her with the job of caravan guard along with a light sword for protection. Narina was grateful for her brother's kindness and thanked him and she and the caravan rode off to markets in Grado. For once, things were going Narina's way... of course that was before Jehenna invaded Grado.
Plot-Susceptive: Yes
Equipment and Items: A some what worn Shamshir and two Vulneraries.
Personality: Narina is best definded as defiant. If you tell Narina not to go somewhere or do something, it will only maker her want to do it even more. She is light-hearted and of quick wit. If there is a joke to be told then you can bet that Narina is going to be the one who wants to tell it. Though, Narina seems to have a bad habit of making jokes at the expense of those around her when things are tense or she is very anxious.
Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:
-Narina aspires to achieve a position of power along side her knight brother, though she wants to be a swords master.
-It is Narina's goal in life to find out the truth behind her heritage for, as her mother suggested, her great-great grandfather was once of prominent standing in Renais.
-Narina has an odd fear of cats, specifically black cats and white cats.
-Narina has quite the beautiful singing voice.
-An odd habit has developed in Narina after speaking to a few veterans of battles. She doesn't wash her hair until three days after a battle is over.

Her mother told her that the stave had been in the family for a very long time so you could always count on it. Arathyra, being a young girl, of course wanted to be like her mother and quickly learned alongside her the arts of healing. Eventually though when she was old enough she decided that she wanted to do something more important.

So Arathyra traveled to the capital in order to find a better use for her skills. Her mother gave her the family stave as well as another stave that Arathyra had never seen before as a farewell gift telling her that she would even be able to help people far away with it once she learned how to use it. Arathya was over joyed with the gift and promised her mother that she would learn how to use it before she departed on her adventure to the capital. She departed with a group of traders there heading there and decided to aim high and see if she could find work at the castle itself.

Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other: Freakisly ticklish, loves animals. Doesn't eat meat and is terrified of loud noises. Is a terrible cook but wants to get better and often volunteers to make food. Dreams of finding true love

R-button Summarization: A sweet young healer from Grado

... Alright, uh. ... Heh. How do I say this... I wonder if anyone of the remaining is going to create someone developed to accept the Fire Emblem? ... Just wondering. ... Heh, Griswal or Kalte COULD qualify, but at the same time, they both feel... Heh...

This is one of those times where I truly wish I was able to see the future. If I'd known we would have any trouble with people playing a Lord of Grado, then I would've made one - but then again, my own issue is that I don't feel I'm active enough to accept that role. I'm gone for many hours per day, and it's very possible I might come home not willing to write anything. But goddammit, if there's anything I truly despise, it's leaving unsolved problems like that around while I could've still made a difference in that.
