The new king of Bern stood proudly at the podium with the shining Emblem in hand. His coronation had been a success, and his words had struck the hearts of his people. Ambition and hope for a better future for his people that so long ago was shattered under the hammer of the Lycian league, spearheaded by the one named Roy. Roy Pendragon of Pherae. His name was praised by the people of Lycia, Sacae, Ilia, Etruria, even parts of the very ground the King owned, yet scorned by those that were loyal to his words. For he had been their beloved crown prince, and now their beloved king.
So vicious and venomous was his speech that any a man or woman even slightly friendly to those powers outside the borders of Bern shuddered with fear and worry for the world that is to come, and the cheers that bellowed from the loyalists' throats only made this worry worse. The day that the new King was elevated was also the day of a new beginning in the world of Elibe, and especially in these days of contemplacy, peace and, by extension, laziness by the Lycian and Etrurian nobility.
Words of his ascension and his ambitious and vicious speech has spread across the lands, and the people that are now bored with the status quo, the everlasting peace, rally to his words. Something exciting is finally about to happen. War means chance for glory. Glory means a better life for the commoner. And the commoners sought a life of opportunity.
Call it a wildfire as the speech spoke to the hearts of the youth around the world, promising a world of chance and excitement.

The youth of the world is now rallying to combat, and you as one of the many restless join in arms. Bring forth your desire for battle in this episodic Roleplay, which follows quite simple rules and, indeed, the Fire Emblem combat system as well. This means stats, growths and levelups are present in the RP.
As mentioned, this specific roleplay will follow an episodic pattern, meaning it is rather similar to that of a standard Fire Emblem playthrough. Battle scenes will be just that, a battle scene, and both prologue and epilogue to the episodes will also be roleplayed. In other words, there will be timeskips. This is to ensure both the Fire Emblem feel, but also more importantly the feeling of progress with every step taken. Call it an experiment by yours truly, though certainly I'm not the first to flirt with the idea.
As for rules, I am a fairly lenient person. A simple shortlist is however useful so here you have one you list-addicts.
- My activity is heavily brought down by real life, and as such I'm fully understanding to slow posters. My only requirement in this is minimum a post a week, though I encourage about three.
- This will be of an adult nature in the sense that both blood and guts will be described rather heavily, so as such you need to be prepared for fairly disgusting writings.
- This is a Fire Emblem RP. What belongs in such a game? Support conversations are one of the most loved mechanics in these games. In other words, Romance is not only accepted but encouraged, though the heavier side of such (sexual encounters and whatnot) is reserved to PMs. Sadly.
- Perma-death exists. If your character dies, consider it dead. However, there's no need to fret! Make a new character which will both be level and experience appropriate for the current stage, and you can continue. This is both to maintain the classic feel of Fire Emblem in both death and late-arrivals to the party! And yes, you're also free to make more characters or join mid-RP following this.
- GM and potential co-GMs have the final say, buuuut... I/we will not be super strict either.
- More may be added if I suddenly remember something I've forgotten, however I won't be a nazi regarding it all.
With that said, here will be the character sheet. The all-important tool for someone willing to participate in any RP, the tool necessary for progress and................ yeah, here it is!
