[OOC] Darkblade: Legends [[OOC]]

If I was able to help I would....

Just post your CS's or PM them to me if you have them still.

I feel like I could vomit right now, and no, I'm not ill. About two hours ago, while I was at church, my youth pastor thought we should see what's going on in places that aren't located in the bible belt that is the town I live in. Now I had heard about this thing in Oklahoma City before, but we saw tonight a video showing the plans for a statue of Satan going up right next to the Ten Commandments. Okay, to some, this doesn't matter. But to me, it makes me feel nauseous. Sorry if you think this is a waste of your time. Just figured I'd share a little bit on my real life.

I'll type up Ismayel's cs sheet again some time.

And can I request that Isaac not be a plate wearing mage-tank? If so he should have a diffirent background than something unrelated to those fields (which his was a burglar).

Just the concept of a heavy plate wearing mage irks me.

[Maxim]

Yeah I was thinking about changing him to either a thief or a mage without the armor. The reason I had him in armor was just because I thought at the time that we didn't have a tank. Hmm...would a spell slinging thief be all right then?

[Ontos]

Isn't that called a magic knight? Or Arcane Warrior? Or Eldritch Knight?

[singmesweetly]

I think I sent them... :3 (this new site is still a little kinky)

(and I sorta like the idea of a spell slinging thief, but I'm not important)

[Rethel34]

I still kinda like the idea of an armored mage. It doesn't happen often. Being a spell slinging thief reminds me of Tormod from FE9 & 10. That kid annoys the crud out of me. But whatever you want to do, Max.

And I think the site messed up, sing, 'cuz they aren't in my inbox.

[singmesweetly]

I am pretty positive it worked this time(so they should be in your inbox now :D)

[Rethel34]

Indeed. c:

We can use another generic tank like Ismayel.

The problem with fire emblem is that the only type of magic in it is mage magic. If there was holy magic, you could be a generic paladin (not a fire emblem paladin. I'm talking more along the conventional rpg game paladin, who heals people with holy light and buffs his party).

Fire Emblem really got the idea of paladins wrong. Although they can ride horses and are tanky, that is not what makes a paladin a paladin. They are holy knights who bring religious zeal into the battle, sort of like my second character, except my character won't be healing or buffing the party. So he's not really a paladin.

Anyway, that's completely off topic from what I wanted to say. If you want to go for a stealth guy, I think a serious 100% stealth character who specializes completely on assassinating targets with cloak and dagger play is what we're missing. But do what you want to do most, as long as it isnt a tanky mage guy with an unrelated thief background.

If you had a long warrior background and ended up learning magic through a special event in your life, that would make sense.
Or if you were a talented mage with a mage-academy background, who used frost magic to line his armor with ice for added durability, that would make sense too.
Just realize that in either case, you would probably be a lesser tank than average, and a lesser mage than average too.

Same general concept applies to rogues as well. You don't have to pay attention to this, but notice how physical/magic hybrids are hard to come across. That is probably because it takes a very special event in ones life to lead them to study both fields of combat. So your background would pretty much make or break the character. This is why I love paladins (the non-fire emblem ones), because they are the one exception to this. They are just priests who worked out a lot.

Anyway, I'm getting off track talking about paladins again. Speaking of which...

Welp. Looks like I have to re-write Ismayel's sheet.

[Rethel34]

Veri, your unicorn is giving me the creeps. Also, Light & Staves are your "holy" magic. But I actually think that FE got the whole concept of what Pallys and Valks could use backwards, but who am I to speak? I'm not Intelligent Systems.

[Veridis Quo]

What unicorn?

[Rethel34]

That...thing...in your avatar.

[Veridis Quo]

I'm not sure I get what you're saying.

[Rethel34]

This:

is freaking creepysauce.

[Veridis Quo]

Your image is not showing up.

[Rethel34]

That's not my fault. It's your computer's.

[Veridis Quo]

So then I take it that everything is fine now?

[Rethel34]

No, I'm still looking at a creepy unicorn face. I just said it's not my fault the image isn't showing up for you.

[Veridis Quo]

Are you feeling ok? You must be over-tired or something...
