[OOC] Fire Emblem: Abyss (Open)

[dabombjk]

FIRE EMBLEM: ABYSS

The Abyss, a seperate dimension from our current one, is slowly consuming our dimension for unknown reasons. Entire cities are being overtaken by strange beings seemingly acting as a vanguard for the spreading darkness. Two kingdoms in the south, Solvnir and Rjaskav, have already fallen to the Abyss over the course of a few weeks. Thankfully, the sea has slowed the spread as the water seems to be resistant to its influence. It could be weeks or months before the Abyss reaches the nearest landmass and continues its conquest.

Refugees from the destroyed kingdoms flooded New Capita, though even after experiencing the Abyss, they were unable to glean any information substantial enough to explain what was truly going on. The general consensus was that some strange force was set on conquering everything. The strange beings could be killed, but it wasn't as though it mattered. Their numbers seemed infinite, their strategy simply being a system of overwhelming everything they come across.

New Capita

New Capita is the specific island where our story takes place. It is a rather new location, only several hundred years old. It was discovered by voyagers who wished to travel the world, and decided to travel to places that had yet been mapped by current geographers and adventures. This group of travelers traveled by sea for weeks, nearly dying from lack of resources and horrid weather, before discovering and naming New Capita. When the found land upon their new home they discovered it was a rich and bountiful land still untouched by mankind. Its trees were bountiful, the wildlife plentiful, and it seemed as if disease had yet to find its way to this beautiful land.
The small group of seven spent the next few years mapping the layout of the Island, and recording the type of wildlife this place contained. But when they were done the group became torn. Half of the group wanted to leave and bring back others from their previous kingdom, to become heroes in their peoples' eyes and possibly royalty. But three out of the four wished ot stay, not wanting to bring others here. It was an amazing place in their minds, and they felt like bringing people from their old society would only corrupt the land. So the group split, the three staying deciding to settle in the south of the Island and prepared for the arrival of more people.
It did not take long for the group of four to return, in great numbers.
The island was quickly inhabited, mainly in the north due to the unfriendly group of three in the south, and kingdoms were built ruled by the four families who discovered the Island. The group of three in the south slowly let others join them who felt out of place in the north, and small settlements were built. And as more and more people arrived, people began settling in the surrounding islands around New Capita, far enough to be seperated by water but close enough to travel to and from island to island within a days time.

Islands

1: New Capita Island = kingdoms in New Capita - Mokata Kingdom of the north, Silvedon of the south
New Capita has a Skyrim-Esque layout, meaning lots of open spaces with moutains and caves with bountiful wildlife both friendly and dangerous. There are also small settlements and farms, with one gigantic city used as the capital for New Capita, right in the center of island. The north of the island is considerably more tamed than the south.
2. Santorini Island = Kingdoms in Santorini - Molto Kingdom
Santorini has been praised as one of the best vacation islands in the world. Well known for having the most relaxing hot springs and the most soothing music, people travel all over the world to have a chance to live in this paradise for even a short while. It is also known that there is an almost zero rate of crime on the island, and there is no military.
3. Airi Island = An island without any governing bodies. The closes thing is a few small camps generally composed of criminals and runaways. The dense forests make it the perfect refuge for such people. Unfortunately, without any type of centralized system, any type of warning of the Abyss would never be able to reach all of the inhabitants.
4.Irinoth Island = On the island furthest to the south the kingdoms of Solvnir and Rjaskav were always in a constant deadlock. While their war was more of a friendly competition than anything else, it did always keep its warriors sharp. Of course, even this was not enough to keep the Abyss from consuming the island.

@PaulHaynek@Shadeflare123 Just letting you two know we put the page up.

[Eisenhorn]

Fire Emblem, eh? Always a sucker for some Fire Emblem. I'll have to get started on a CS then, shall I?

@Eisenhorn

yay

[Eisenhorn]

Alright, figured I'd go with a class that tends to be rather looked down upon in more recent FE games, since why not? Also curious, as a side note/question, how promotions will work?

CS

Name:
Ansgar Staudinger

Age:
28

Gender:
Male

Sexual Orientation:
Heterosexual

Personality:
For being an accused deserter and on the run soldier, Ansgar refuses to succumb to the easier methods of a petty bandit or rogue. He is, first and foremost, a career soldier, and one can usually expect the normal professional, focused discipline that would be required of one who would serve in an organized army. Yet, he often, outside of combat, is known for being a heavy drinker and overtly lack luster in regards to his training or continued betterment, seemingly careless towards such things in favor of relaxing and enjoying his time on the world. As such, he tends to take offense at those that would threaten it or judge him without knowing the whole story, since they tend to be needlessly harsh and think they know it all, regardless of whether they really do or not. Beyond this, he tries to be amiable and able to work with anyone, but bring up the charges of desertion and he tends to get rather angry, to put it mildly.

Starting Classes:
Soldier

Starting Equipment:
Steel Lance
Vulnerary

Bio:
Ansgar used to be a standing soldier with one of the armies of Solvnir, raised to be wield the lance against the armies of Rjaskav as well. However, while his upbringing was fairly typical of one expected to be a soldier of any sort, he routinely clashed with the youngest of the general's children, an annoyingly entitled lady who seemed to think that birthright alone warranted superior command. Despite her losing their training duels more often than not, she seemed insistent on trying to assert her dominance over Ansgar. This would continue until his twentieth birthday, when they came to blows again, not just in training. Ansgar had withdrawn a unit under his command from a suicidal charge, not one for wasting resources for no gain. However, this slighted the woman who, technically, was superior to Ansgar in rank and demanded that he return to the field with the men. Ansgar refused the order, pointing out its blatantly suicidal nature and pointlessness. She drew her sword on him, and he defended himself from her attack. The fight ended in a short exchange, the reach and punch of the lance overpowering the swordswoman easily. Yet, she refused to surrender this time, and Ansgar was forced to run her through, spilling her life blood onto the ground. He waited not for the inevitable arrest, execution, and so on, rather, fleeing the island for Airi Island, a land of lawlessness that would make tracking him rather impossible. He would spend the next eight years honing his craft, focusing solely on advancing his skill in combat, and with the lance. Yet, when word reached him that his home had been consumed by this Void, an empty pain echoed in his gut. He chose to finally leave his self imposed exile on Airi Island, finding himself drifting towards New Capita instead, though the why eluded him. Perhaps, since he had no home, he might find a new one there? And perhaps, of course, he might avenge his lost home somehow if this Abyss arrived to try and claim New Capita while he was there.

@eisenhorn
Wow honestly we didn't expect anyone to pick soldier off the bat. Approved dude. Move it over, and when we have enough CS made from the interested people we will let you know.

[Eisenhorn]

@dabombjk
I thought I'd change things up a bit, make soldiers great again haha. I'll move him on over then, much obliged.

[Heckno12]

@Eisenhorn Master Seals are still the way to go in my opinion. Though they'd still require quite a bit of personal growth. You couldn't just nab one and promote yourself, it would be best for it to be used in a desperate situation.

[Eisenhorn]

@Heckno12
Sounds like a fair arrangement to me, sure as sure. I certainly wasn't expecting to see a promotion happen one fight in, sure as sure. I like the desperation use idea though, for sure.

[Lugia]

I'm thinking about joining... but I'm not too sure.

[Tojin]

I'm up for it.

[Grec]

Can I make a Shaman?

[dabombjk]

I'm thinking about joining... but I'm not too sure.

@Lugia

Well take your time before you decide. We would welcome you, but prefer to have people who are totally down. No hard feelings if you dont buddy.

[dabombjk]

I'm up for it.

@Tojin

YAY make a cs and ill check it out

[dabombjk]

Can I make a Shaman?

@Grec

I cant say one hundred percent it would get approved, I would need to consult with the co-gm, but go ahead and make a cs for a shaman.

[Heckno12]

@dabombjk@Grec http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Shaman It's doable, you have my thumbs up

[Lugia]

Well, I'm in, but...
my character idea might need some approval by both the Co-GM and the actual GM... and I don't want to spoil anything for anyone else.

[Heckno12]

@Lugia Go on and pm us both. We'll check over it.

[Lugia]

And I sent the PM. I do also have a backup plan if that one fails.

[Heckno12]

2 more CS's and we'll be good to start. @dabombjk We should probably think out the first IC post.

Oh and PS: there's a system in place for relationships and potential offspring, we've just yet to post it. We're going to kind of handle it like the games like to.
