Young Mages are amazing. Can never have to many. No kill like Overkill. And, fine I'll rework her. I just like crazy nutjobs right now.

No actually I'm pretty sure you can have too much of anything. Especially if there is a lack of the other classes to balance it out. There's no problem if you want to have a character that's a little out there. In fact our own Habeen Nocta is already kinda nuts. Just make sure that she's not a dangerous or psychotic nut cause no one is going to want someone like that on the team.

Technically Stone is a dark mage spell but since we're taking creative liberties anyway I figured we might as well give a little more elemental variety in the magic, not that it's been utilized.

So regular mages can use stone spells? Pity I can't make use of that very often. I kinda decided that since I gave Syrena such powerful fire abilities they clash with any other magical elements she tries to use. It's not that she can't use other elemental tomes, she can use them just fine but her fire magic will cause the tomes to burn out in a rather violent way after one use so it's not exactly cost effective.

I might pull that out later as a move of desperation if a battle is going particularly badly. She steals someone else's tome and causes it to explode. :) Fun.

Hey guys, don't forget to subscribe to the topic, I'm certain most already did, but it's always good to remember xD

Maybe I could think of a new character, but the long, or really even short, term longetivty of them are very in question. I find sometimes that the character is more fun to create than the actual RP, or the concept of the RP.

I think that might sort of be the problem. When you write a character you aren't looking to see how he or she could survive in the world or fit into the RP. You're just writing what seems fun.

I sometimes feel that way as well, because it's easier and more free to create a concept than to put it to use. Often enough, however, once I start playing and get a feel for the character, I grow to like playing as them a lot. For instance, in another RP I'm in centered around wizards, I made Fleo Plector, a dust mage who because of an illness in her childhood now has arms and legs made of dust. She was designed to be someone heavily affected by her disability, but to be very cheerful and youthful despite it, and as I played around a little more I realized that she had more or less come to life.

Some RPs never take off because people make characters and try to play them isolated, exactly as they wished to, without really working with other people or their surroundings. If that happens, the character never comes to life, and people lose interest and drop out.

I don't really have any specific advice to offer you. Maybe try something you have never tried before; that's something I do with most of my characters.

I think generally from RP to RP anyone's worst enemy is doing the same thing over and over again in new settings. You end up with dead lifeless characters because you're just creating pale copies of some awesome idea you had awhile back. I'll admit I'm guilty of this. I've got a file on my computer of all the CS I've created since joining this site. There's about twenty of them and looking back threw them I realized that sixteen out of the twenty are girls and about half of those had abusive childhoods and grew up to be hard strong women who could look after themselves and didn't need anyone else yet under all that armor wished for someone to see them as they really were. I was sort of stuck in a rut for awhile. It was easy to write cause the characters didn't have to take crap from anyone and they could get out of danger mostly unharmed but remaking the same character over and over again they begin to stagnate, the next one worse than that last cause you're just recreating an old idea that was meant for a different world.

Take a look at some of your past CSs if you start to spot commonalities between them then reverse them. If you favor strong characters create someone vulnerable, if you favor loners make a social character. Do something completely different and you'll find that the character is far more fun and more alive than anything you've been writing before.

Like in this RP, as I said I'm used to playing strong people who are always in control. So I created a character who's got strong attributes but has no control over her abilities what so ever. Someone who can be hurt by words easily and doesn't know how to hide it. Someone who tends to run away from problems instead of facing them and buckles when faced with argument. Completely opposite of what I usually do. Oh and I also gave her a mostly happy childhood which for my characters is pretty new. And I'm finding that Syrena is a lot more alive than any of the characters for RPs I've done recently and I'm looking forward to the start of this with a song in my heart and a smile on my lips.

Try something new, you might surprise yourself with how much you enjoy it.

I'll use my first female character in this RP, never tried before, might be a good idea!

@Prince of Seraphs You know, Prince, you give really good advice. I have just realized that myself. @Juka Gearsworth this is my first female character too.

So I thought I had put this on my watchlist but it turns out I didn't and I kind of forgot about it and now the OOC is six pages in and I'm not sure what I'm really doing so um hum. ^^;

It's mostly been other peoples' sheets and some Q&A. Believe me, you're in a perfectly good position to get started.

@Everyone, to pass the time, and provide me useful information, what kinds of things might you like to do/have happen in this RP? Any situations you looking forward to? What do you want to be doing the most?

Well, I'd like this to be more combat based with conversations between them, like the game. And try to keep the romance on the side and not become part of the story. But most of all I would like to make a really good story, with backstory and people from the character's past popping up. Essentaly make it as true to the Fire Emblem game's stories as possable, plot twists and the occaional cliche villans included.

I didn't know this thread was up until today. xD

I'm just gonna ask now. Can males be Pegasus Knights/Archers? I still have to read the whole thread, so I'm still not sure what kind of character I'm gonna use, but it's not mentioned in the class description.

I'm probably gonna think of more things to ask later...

Yeah, that's a thing in the new game, so we might as well use it here.

Oh right, still going to try and make a pegasus knight because majestic but we'll see how that turns out. ^^;

@Lugubrious Didn't you reserve a post at the beginning of the character's tab for your CSs?

EDIT: Also could I create a Cleric/Monk who is capable of fighting? I mean not like a front line fighter or anything but someone who could reasonably defend themselves using there stave as a weapon?

The reserved post is for everyone's sheets, which I'll put links to once we begin. I did the same thing in Heroes of Beacon.

Yeah, sure, he or she could bonk people with their staves. They're not going to be very effective fighters, though.

@Lugubrious

I haven't forgotten about my interest in this, I swear!

My character is in the works.
