Fire Emblem RP, anyone?

[Mistiel]

All I know about Fire Emblem are the following. Feel free to tell me more (something actually useful) in PM. :)

@Mistiel I'll send you a PM and tell you what I can!

I'm in the same boat as Zeroth, as much as I would absolutely love to jump on this I'd like to know a bit more of the structure and expectations before I give my solid answer if I'll be joining or not. Mainly how long posts are to be expected and if battling will have a structure or if it will be free-form, hopefully having players not making themselves hit/dodge every attack.

@Tala Avana Posts are expected to be a few paragraphs long. Like three paragraphs is fine. Also there will be no dice rolling or structure to combat, but people will have to he fair and not hit every attack or dodge every attack.

Thanks for the answers, I'll go ahead and throw my hat in. I still have a few questions, but only because I want to get a better sense of the world-building and such. Are there any tidbits of culture, unit preference, and so on that players should know about each different country on the continent, or keep in mind when creating their backstories? Will there be monster units, and if so are they magically created/summoned by enemies or are they natural inhabitants of the world? Are the Laguz the same here as they are in the Tellius series in regards to their clans, or will other shapeshifters like the Kitsune and Taguels be incorporated? Since we're not bound by game mechanics, will battles incorporate more free-form style tactics, or the same sort of open-field melee with the occasional siege/defense of a fortress?

Thanks in advance, looking forward to it!

@Zeroth We have info on the countries and what-not. Ambra and I (along with two others) have been writing on details. I've made a map of the world already, but there is only one or two countries so far with a culture. I believe monsters will also be a thing, but you have to confirm that with Ambra.

[Marlowe]

@Zeroth Laguz aren't limited to Lion, Cat, Tiger, Hawk, Heron, Raven, or Wolf. You can make a Laguz of anything (save for dragons), but they also have to make sense. Most of the Laguz are enslaved by humans, but some are clustered in small tribes in rural areas of countries.

I'm really not sure about incorporating Kitsune or Taguel, but you'll find out.

There's gonna be a mix of different style of combats, ranging from seiging fortresses to battles between armies. So you can fight with two people in a tavern or you could be in an army fighting against your enemy.

@Ambra Hey, I've got a bit of a question here about the Bard class. I've done a little research on them and it seems that there's two completely different kinds of bard types. In one series they're a combat class oriented around Light Magic or Anima Magic, but in another they're purely support that revitalizes units for an extra attack. I'm under the assumption that they're a support class but what did you have in mind for them to be in this RP?

[Marlowe]

@Redneckatron What I was thinking was that it can be a little on the realistic side. They sing songs that can motivate party members in and out of battle.

[Redneckatron]

@Ambra Ah, well that's certainly unique. Thanks for clarifying that!

[Marlowe]

@Redneckatron Hope you like the idea! :o

OOC will go up today.

Mind if I join in?

[Marlowe]

Yeah sure!

Quick question, if you are playing a Laguz that is hiding as something else (in my case, a thief), would they be able to use their class weapons as well as transform as needed? I know in the recent games the shapeshifters can't use their beast stones while in a different class, but that just seems like a game mechanic thing.
