[OOC] Fire Emblem: Fight for Survival

[ShadowD]

Chrom and his army have failed, the Fell Dragon Grima has been resurrected. Death and destruction have poisoned the land and there are very few left to oppose the dark tide swarming over everything. Few of the heroes have survived taking their children and going into hiding within the walls of Castle Ylisse, there they mustered a call for any remaining allies left on this goddess forsaken world. It is eighteen years later Lucina is rallying the troops, we need the Emblem restored to defeat Grima, be warned the Fell Dragon has many agents, most are Risen but with them Grimleal priests as powerful as Vaildar and Aversa have become twisted commanders of Risen armies. Armies that made the mighty Walhart's army seem pitifully weak. You are a survivor, either one of the heroes children or a newcomer pushed by the will to survive in this desolate wasteland, you have heard the call and wish to lend your aid to Lucina and bring about peace to the world once more, give it a chance to rebuild. Or you could be a double agent, working for the Grimleal in order to stop the Emblem from ever being used, and assassinating the last of Chrom's bloodline, bringing about the true end to all hope. Brave warrior, or deceitful assassin, the choice is yours, bring about the retribution of the World, or the Destruction of it, join the fight to end it all, and may the Divine Dragon....or the Fell Dragon guide your hands.

Xavier

Name: Xavier

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Class: Tactician

personality: Outwardly he gives a brave face to the other soldiers, inwardly he does not have the flair and standing his older sister Lucina has. Tends to ramble when nervous, quick with his anger, tends to appear meek next to his sister. Xavier doesn't realize his own potential as a fighter, his ability to use magic is almost second to none, and his swordplay is second really to his sister. But his indecisiveness about his training and his position as the younger sibling does him no credit. He sees himself as unworthy to carry on his father's legacy and entrusts it with his sister, not realizing he too is no doubt worthy of wielding the holy blade, and taking on the mantle of leadership.

Bio: Xavier was born shortly after Lucina, they could almost be considered twins, they were only about 18 months apart. However Xavier grew up in Lucina's shadow, he never wielded Falchion and never had the way with people, or words like his sister did, the thing he was best at was behind the scenes, being the tactician for their army, and learning what he could from magic and swordplay. He never felt like he was destined for great things like he thought his sister was, so he stayed in the shadows making sure his sister was alright and keeping to himself. Xavier became a gifted spellcaster and swordsman in his own right but again he made sure it never really came to light, he instead toiled endlessly in front of his old books on tactics and treatises learning all he can and becoming an even better Tactician than Chrom's. He has thwarted three different attempts on his sister's life one of which using his own skills, the others rooting out the enemies that threatened his sister using their troops. He is seen as a gifted Tactician by his peers but they also see him as cold due to his silent nature. As of this moment it was his decision to send word out, even to Grimleal believers in a faint hope that they would be swayed to realize that the end of days is not the sign nor the end they should believe in. It has had middling success and has opened him and his sister up to dangerous adversaries. Xavier and his sister duel regularly, luckily she hasn't realized he tends to hold back during their duels, as not to raise any enemy spies' alarm at his growing proficiency.

Quirks: Quiet due to meekness, brilliant beyond compare

Strengths: Tactical genius, decent with blades, and magic

Weaknesses: despite his aptitude with a blade he tends to be better off from a distance, his physical defenses aren't that great, and his meekness makes it hard for him to connect.

Likes: His sister, books on tactics, outmaneuvering his enemies tactics

Dislikes: Attention, the grand scheme of things, the loss of his parents

Weapons: Arcthunder, Steel sword, uses tomes and swords

Death quote: Ho...how could I be outmaneuvered, this isn't supposed to happen, sorry Luci, sorry everyone I failed all of you.

[vancexentan]

Username: VanceXentan

Name: Carn Arken

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Birthday: July 1st

Class: Myrmidon

Allied to: Silver Hawk Mercenaries
Weapons:
Iron Sword
Killing Edge

Clothing:

Appearance:

Personality: Carn is a very serious individual and dislikes comedy to an almost annoying sense in that he has little sense of humor. He is merciless and cold due to his time with the silver hawks. He tends to be the person who points out things that need to happen even if everyone else is against doing it. He has little faith in gods or demons seeing them as just another target on his hit list if they get in his way. He has learned and uses his body language well and can project a very intimidating aura when he has to and has very little faith in others. He only tolerates other and only socializes when he has to growing more and more uncomfortable when he is around others and not in a fight. He proclaims to have no dreams but goals stating he wishes to be the best swordsman in the realm. He doesn't have any opinions on romance or love but is not interested in starting a love life of his own just yet if he can help it. He is the last one to give up on something. Carn is willing to put down his own life for a person who can demand his respect and actually use it properly. He is not a very 'loyal' man per say either it is the pay or his respect for you that keeps him traveling along with you. He laughs at the righteous and pious fools of the world proclaiming that the world has proven itself to be without good, especially with the exalt family line saying the hero-king got lucky. He can be very quiet when reading or painting however. He is kind to those who do no harm and is not afraid to help for some gold even if it is something meager depending on the person. He never turns his blade on a person he doesn't believe deserves this treatment unless he had agreed to in an aforementioned contract.

Biography: Born in Regna Ferox Carn was born to a mercenary mother and father who worked for the West Khan for many years. He grew up in the western side of the area for most of his life and was trained to be a warrior from a young age. He spent many of his years learning to wield a blade effectively and was especially good at it to the point where he bested his dad when he was ten. He worked as a farm hand when he was not training and he grew appreciative of art as well despite not being good at it in the least. He followed around a group of musicians for a couple of months at one point and was almost presumed dead. After his parents were killed by Plegian bandits known as the Horned Boars he left West Ferox in search of a purpose having nothing but his sword and what he could recover from his own life. He swore revenge for his parents and ran into an old friend on the road who introduced him to the people of the Silver Hawk Company led by the barbarian Red Fist Basar. He worked for them since he was the age of fifteen proving to be a quick learner and a deadly adversary. His years with them hardened him into the man he is today and he was called 'the quickest man you'd never see' by Red Fist after he slew a fellow mercenary band's captain single handedly. He was a monster of a man despite being rather thin and scrawny with surprising strength. He left the group after Red Fist slept with the wrong man's wife and was slain in combat. Carn left for Plegia in search of more work to find and possibly to sate his revenge but was unable to find it. While he considered going to join the West Khan's army he decided he'd sooner remain freelance than take orders from some brute. He has gone to Ylissa in search for employment.

Quirk(s): He is the last one to give up on something and he loves to read and paint

Strengths: Very precise and very quick blade work (he can move very quickly and strike just as quick)

Weaknesses: weak magical resistance, weak defense, weak against long ranged units

Likes: Innocent people, people who keep their words, strong fighters, people who leave him alone, a good night's rest, and a hot meal

Dislikes: bandits, plegians, mages, snotty noblemen, stuck up people, ignorance, self-righteous people, religion.

Death Quote: I did what I could I have no shame about this end...

[ShadowD]

Alright great, like the additions to the CS gonna add them in as well.

[vancexentan]

I made Carn in another roleplay but since it seems he's out of the loop I may as well have brought him here.

[ShadowD]

Sounds good, he is accepted thanks for joining.

[Amalvi]

+Name: Adalbert

+Age: 18

+Gender: Male

+Appearance: short greenish brown hair with eyes of the same color. He stands about 1.78m (5.8 feet) and is of ectomorph complexion. He is wearing a gray and blue armor (integral including' chest plate, tassets graves and gauntlets) alongside gray leather pants and boots. His horse is brown with black mane

+Class: cavalier

+personality: Adalbert always tries to be the first one to jump into action, be it for being the center of attention or just because he is too impulsive to think before acting, he just can't stand staying idle much time. While some might describe him as hot headed, other describe him more as empty headed because of all the mistakes he makes by acting too fast, although he shrugges it off and replies that he had acted correctly way more times than incorrectly in his impulsivity, which is true. Although optimist, he is rather egocentric and narcissistic and with an unhealthy tendency to employ sarcasm and irony (but never with the intention of hurting others) showing that there is no one he values more than himself, except for his father (and his former teacher). He enjoys a good laugh more than anything, even at the expenses of others, and second to that is charging through the enemy lines to attack the risen "for great justice".

+Bio: Adalbert is the son of the knight Stahl, who fought alongside chrom during the battle against Grima and together fell to the fallen dragon. He grew up in an orphanage for the sons of war victims and he was lucky enough to have a soldier named Arid be his godfather. Arid was a former ylisse soldier and while he couldn't adopt the kid because of his duty, he tried to spend as much time as possible with him, telling Adalbert wondrous stories about Stahl and how he was a great example for everyone at the camp, showing that it was the admiration for Stahl the reason Arid had so much affection for the kid.

Adalbert began to think of his father as the ultimate hero (never hearing the part about him being just the epitome of average) and asked Arid to train him in the ways of fighting, who gladly accepted to act as his mentor. The lessons were harsh, and in the beginning he was constantly frustrated because he couldn't lift the training spear or the wooden sword, but to be fair he was only 8 at the time, but with practice came perfection, and not long passed until he was taught how to ride a horse and finally when Adalbert was 13 he was finally adopted as the squire of Arid.

Since then, every time Adalbert preformed well in his training, the soldier would reward him with a story about Stahl, and even if most of the stories started to sound made up the youngster never cared, since he had already idolized his father to the point that he even bragged about it among his friends (and later he bragged it to strangers, causing a bar fight in one occasion because he annoyed a drunk men in a pub) and while this wasn't a very exemplar attitude for a knight, Arid never complained, so he ended up with his narcissistic attitude.

After years of training with Arid, Adalbert was already 18 and a fully skilled cavalier and he was ready to leave on his own when one day, when he and Arid were having a short ride to bring the horses to a river they were ambushed by three risen. Arid defeated two of the monsters but one of them managed to shoot Arid with a bow before being struck by Adalbert. While Arid was strong, the arrow turned out to be poisoned, and nothing could be done past that point, Adalbert was trying hard to heal the wound, even if it was useless, when Arid told him an important reveal: Stahl wasn't dead. His body was never found and rumors of people seeing him are spreading through the land. Arid gave Adalbert a wooden stamp that supposedly belonged to Stahl and urged the boy to go in search of him. Adalbert kept the stamp as a treasure and after burying his mentor he grabbed his horse and has been travelling around the country as a vagabond in the search of his father, helping people in need and fighting the risen along the way.

+Quirks: although nobody would deny that Adalbert isn't stupid, he proudly claims to be able to fit the whole fist in his mouth.

+Strengths: Skilled rider and fighter who always tries to get the first to a combat. He is capable of fighting equally well with a sword or a spear (although he prefers to use the later) and has capable athletic skills of swimming, running and climbing.

+Weaknesses: He struggles fighting magic users, the bane of his existence. the sole vision of a mage he cannot reach only means trouble. His lack of preparation gets him in trouble often and his attitude has caused him some problems with easily angered people

+Likes: Stahl, justice, fighting risen, laughing with others, sarcasm and irony, being told compliments, rum, blondes

+Dislikes: Risen, enemy mages, evildoers, loosing, boiled cabbage, bards who never shut up

+Weapons: steel lance and iron sword

+Death quote: (formerly: GM, please...)" I hope I've made you proud..."

[vancexentan]

My advice on this CS is this: Personality needs to be increased and so does the bio. All you need to do is compare it to mine to see how low it is on length. Also while the death quote is a joke I find a actual death quote to be placed there instead of a joke.

However my good GM I am no in charge and you can do as you like.

[Rethel34]

Another Fire Emblem RP... O_O

RPGuild has just turned into a candy shop to me. So much FE...

All right, so...not like this needs asking, but this is using Awakening classes, right? I might be a dude. Not a big ugly knight. I hate being a wall. Say, got anyone who's gonna be a Jeigan (pre-promote Archetype like Frederick)? I might fill that. Be a Hero or something. Yeah. But I refuse to look like an Awakening Hero. Maybe more along the lines of a Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn-style hero.

[ShadowD]

I do agree with Vance on this one please lengthen the Bio, personailty wise eh it can be shown more in the RP which I tend to do. And yes Death quotes while here for fun kind of ways is here to see what you would have your character say in a FE styled death (where somehow you can talk after being run through with a 4 and a half foot blade).

That's fine we could always use more people, and an experienced lieutenant is always appreciated in a losing war

[Rethel34]

Character Person by Rethel

Name: Vellia

Age: 31

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Class: Hero

Personality: Offers a kind smile to her friends, but you wouldn't want to be caught on the wrong side of her blade. There are times she enjoys the rush of battle so much, though, that she almost never simply disarms her opponents or lets them escape. She is also highly defensive, especially of those who she cares about. Due to the war, she has become desensitized to violence, especially involving the undead and Grimleal. Despite all this, she does still have some degree of self-control, and tries to avoid liquor lest she lose that control.

Bio: The daughter of two Feroxi warriors, it'd be unusual if Vellia wasn't a fierce fighter herself. After her birth, her mother retired from the army to raise her. As she grew, she studied how to become a warrior. It was quickly discovered that she was a complete klutz with a spear, unable to wield the lengthy weapon, and though she never excelled i the fancy maneuvers of the blade, the idea of raw power behind an axe appealed to her. It was often claimed that she was much like her father in that aspect, though she didn't learn just how much of a compliment that was until she became old enough to serve in the military and fight alongside him.

His axe was twice the size of even the largest of weapons Vellia had seen before that time, and his ferocity was unmatchable. She almost lost her focus just watching him in battle during her first fight. She quickly learned her lesson when an arrow pierced the top of her left ear, and it was only luck that kept more harm from befalling her. Oftentimes, after she became more experienced, her preference was to charge into battle wielding both an axe and sword, attacking in a violent flurry of steel.

Then it happened. Her whole world was turned around on that day, and all because of those things.

The Risen.

Her parents were slain as they were overwhelmed, and she watched, to her horror, as they were reanimated by some evil form of magic. Tears streaming down her face, she was forced to butcher the very people who had taught her to fight before fleeing. Ever since that day, she has vowed to destroy the Risen and the Grimleal.

Quirks: First to draw her weapon, and perhaps the most bipolar.

Strengths: Beating the living shiz out of stuff; anything violent.

Weaknesses: Romance; Humor; Skilled Bowmen

Likes: Big, dangerous weapons; Fighting (for fun, honor, or her life)

Dislikes: Formality; Flirts; Risen; Grimleal; “Evil”

Equipment: Silver Axe; Vulnerary

Quotes:
Death: “Mo-mother...Fa-ther...I...I’m s-sorry....”
Critical: “Right between the eyes!”; “Ever tasted steel?”; “For my parents!”

Trying to come up with a female char is weird for me, but I'm trying to offer a bit of gender balance.

[vancexentan]

I'd like to say you should immediately change your class. We're all low level so far a myrmidon and a cavalier.

[Rethel34]

Nearly every FE has one prepromote in the starting lineup because without them, you'd likely be dead. I know that Frederick's saved your bum before, right?

Examples:
Awakening: Frederick (Great Knight)
Shadow Dragon: Jagen/Jeigan (however you want to spell it) (Paladin)
Radiant Dawn: Sothe (Rogue [Trickster is Awakening's equivalent])
Path of Radiance: Titania (Paladin)
Sacred Stones: Seth (Paladin)

And that's not even half of them.

[ShadowD]

I did say having a Jeigenish character would be alright as having a lieutenant for the army would greatly help Lucina's cause, maybe her character should be a little older and more background, maybe even fighting as a Feroxi commander under Basillio and Flavia) It is the only upper tiered char I will be allowing as well as nerfing her a bit, maybe having her have a wound from a previous battle that hasn't fully healed yet even with staves.

[ShadowD]

Don't forget Marcus and old Marcus lol can never forget them, Seth also is not a true Jeigen as he can be used in later aspects of the game on hard mode while Titania and the rest really can't.

Amaldi, Rethel both are accepted.

[vancexentan]

I've never used Fredrick in game until recently. And that's only because I needed someone to keep Lissa safe in the opening chapters on hard. admittedly I only play on normal and now part way in hard. But in my normal chapters I used almost exclusively foot units with few mounts. On the other hand Seth was rather useful but he was put in the back seat when more units became stronger and I obtained Ephraim. In both games Joshua, Ephraim, and Ross where my hitmen in Stones. In Awakening my hitmen were Avatar, Gaius, Virion, and Vaike first gen. Second gen were Brady, Noire, Morgan, and Owain.

But as the big man wants so shall it be it's up to him in the end.

[ShadowD]

Thanks Vance I do listen to everyone adn Rethel did ask me before hence why I okayed it this time. Vance seeing as how your normally first on the scene mind being my CO-GM if you are too busy I do understand if you refuse.

[vancexentan]

If you need me to do so I will try to.

[ShadowD]

It would be a great help thanks.

[Amalvi]

ShadowD said
Amaldi, Rethel both are accepted.

yes
this pleases

[vancexentan]

I'd say you may as well start workin' on the IC post Shadow
