So I'm picking up a lot of the conversation late... However, here's my input:

Magic- We could go with my idea for magic where magic is a remnant energy that is everywhere, those who come from a mage's bloodline know how to absorb the energy and bind it with their own life energy and transmute it into the type of magic they want to use. Those who specialize in a type of magic are more adept at turning this energy into that type of magic. This also adds a bit of a danger since if you're not good with, let's say, destruction type magic (fire, ice, lightning etc.) you could seriously injure yourself if you accidentally turn the energy into destruction magic in your own body. I can go into more detail on the magic if we go with this idea, but I thought of this a couple years back and I think it is an awesome concept for magic.

Gods- I don't really care for this, I don't know if you're going lore friendly or not and if you are then I don't have much to input on this since I've never played FE.

Map- If we do a different eco system for each nation we're probably looking at making it an archipelago continent with each island being a different nation.

@Nate I'd prefer the method of magic that I thought up of, since I already used that method in another RP. XD I credited you of course.

Oh? What's your method? I really don't mind one way or the other, my character probably won't use magic.

That mages can only use magic if they have their tomes or staves to channel their energy. :)

That's typical. DND does it that way, I think sorcerers can only cast magic if they have their shoes written down somewhere, even if it's on their own body, Wizards however (and Clerics) know all of the spells within their God's domain but they have to prepare spells beforehand. Duskblades and similar casters know a certain number of spells but they don't have to prepare them or have them written down, they can only cart them a certain number of times per day. They generally have some kind of component though, such as verbal, somatic (spoken), or material.

Edit: I'm also thinking of making my character a Lord class. If that's aright.

Oooh. I didn't know that, it's pretty interesting.

And it's fine, it's good that you said it now since lords will be limited.

Yeah, I figured they were, that's why I asked now. I am thinking of making a character with political power who also knows how to fight, like Tywin Lanister only not a corrupt angry bastard!

Remember that we'll all be in Houses, guys. ^^

And I think Nate should have the Lord, since there will only be one (mind can be changed).

I'm thinking my Bard character would be the personal Bard of a House Family would that be okay?

Well do you mean the head bard or favorite bard? Cause we'll all be in Houses.

I'm thinking the favorite Bard

Sure, that'll be fine, but remember he won't be everyone's favorite. ;)

I know ;P

Well, here's to hoping that he's my favorite, @AquaAzura. He can't be the favorite if he's being sent to war, can he?

Hmm, I'll probably make a thief or something.

maybe he's getting too lazy and he needs to get out ;)

BTW... @RainDash HI RAIN!!!!

We still have to figure out things about the other nations, guys. ^^

@Nate SHIT I FORGOT WHO YOU WERE
YOU'RE FROM SHADOWS RIGHT
HOLY HELL YEA

@Ambra what do we still need to think about with those?

Well we have to think about number, name, climate, and culture.

Five is a good number for countries.
Uh....... http://fantasynamegenerators.com/country_names.php#.VcaxGflViko it's a fantasy country name generator. Use it and find some names.
