[OOC] FIre Emblem: Order of Pharasma

[Rogue Colm]

"Balance," a mystical voice begins, seemingly only to you, "you have shown it well, Child. I wish to have you as a guardian. If you wish to be, simply say yes or nod and continue forward." You signal a 'yes' to this voice, and as you walk forward, your surroundings change from your normal, everyday life to that of a cosmic setting. You can see a few other figures convening in the direction you are headed. When you and the other figures are almost at the same point, a beautiful lady wearing a dress split with black on one half and white on the other. She addresses everyone in attendance.
"Thank you, my Children. You have made a wise choice, one that will make this goddess grateful for your assistance. I am Pharasma, personification of balance. You may have seen me in various places meant for judgement, but I am no figure for justice today. I need to have the worlds in balance, yet I am but one deity. You all will need to take these pieces of parchment and go forth to keep balance within the worlds I have been tasked to keep in check. Too many different forces will be acting at once for me to balance them all, and time waits for not even goddesses." Recognizing this voice as one in the same with the one that asked for you to be a guardian.

Now you stand before the Goddess of Balance and you have agreed to be one of her Guardians. This is set in the Fire Emblem universe, and will involve multiple Fire Emblem games, but nothing in the main storylines. You will be helping keep the course of the timeline to the end that signifies the most balance, meaning sometimes you help the protagonists, and other times, you have to set them back to keep them from hitting an enemy ambush. You create chaos and order to keep each in balance with the other. The parchment you will be given will have each goal in real time. If there's enough people, I might split us into two groups that conjoin later. You can be any FE class from any game (because she has converged you all from many points in time and space). It'd be preferable to start at a first-tier class to allow for growth, but it isn't required.

[Phaesaris]

Name: Elanzo

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Class: Wyvern Rider

Game: Fire Emblem: Awakening

Equipped Weapon: Axe

Appearance


Armor/Clothes: Elanzo's clothes mainly consist of a simple red top and white cotton pants. For armor he wears battered leather shoulder pads, chestplate, and shin guards.

Background

Elanzo was born and raised in a quiet town with a small populace of a hundred or so denizens. With very little trouble ever coming along, life was peaceful...and utterly boring. Unsatisfied with the monotony of daily life, he would spend his days wandering the edge's of the nearby forest, wishing for something interesting to come along. Never did he think that that 'something' would be big, winged, and try to bite his head off if Elanzo so even looked at it.

After reports of mysterious half-eaten rabbits and strange foreign sounds at night, a curious Elanzo ventured into the woods to put to rest these complaints and worries. To his surprise, hidden in the thick foliage, was a wyvern with an injured wing. It was a mystery as to how it had managed to get in this part of the world, and even more of a mystery as to how it got hurt. Put that mattered not to Elanzo. He was instantly enamored with the creature, and was determined to heal and befriend it. However, there's a big difference between healing broken bird wings and broken wyvern wings. After all, birds don't try and rip you limb from limb. But after a week of persistently visiting the hurt beast (and perhaps a bribery or two of lamb meat), Elanzo had gained the wyvern's tentative trust and was allowed to attempt to heal him (he was somewhat sure it was male...somewhat sure...). With some help from a Cleric that was luckily passing by the town, the wyvern was better than ever in a few weeks time.

Elanzo expected for the creature, dubbed Yorke in their time together, to disappear once the injury had been healed. Much to his pleasure, he was wrong. Much to his displeasure, he found out about his wrongness after discovering a sleeping Yorke curled up in his room and scaring the townsfolk. Filled with a renewed sense of adventure, the duo set off from town, ready to explore the land.

As the duo traveled from town to town, they were halted by a dark sight: bandits. With little mercy or remorse, the group of thieves plundered a nearby town and threatened to burn every building down if they weren't given gold. Angered by such actions, Elanzo and Yorke attacked the bandits and managed to drive them away from the town. Though Elanzo departed quickly from that town, his actions did not go unnoticed by a certain goddess.

[LadyTale]

Name: Enarrion
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Class: Myrmidon
Game: Sacred Stones
Equipped Weapon: sword
Appearance:

Armor/Clothes: Enarrion wears black leggings, black boots, and a dark blue dress tied at the waist with a silver sash. The dress is slit up both sides to the sash, for ease of movement. In battle, she adds a leather breastplate.
Background: Ennarion is in training to be a swordmaster. Her teacher was killed before she achieved mastery; she trained relentlessly for a year, found her teacher's killer, and slew him in vengeance. Apparently, that was enough to catch the goddess's eye.

(Enarrion's past is a secret she will only share with those she trusts most. Therefore, only what she would tell anyone is written above.)

[Rogue Colm]

@Phaesaris @LadyTale Both of yours look good. Go ahead and put them up on the Char tab, but @LadyTale, at least PM me more of your character's backstory. Just for narrative purposes.

[LadyTale]

@Rogue Colm Will do~

[Rogue Colm]

@Phaesaris @LadyTale We can start now if you'd like, or wait for a fourth person (this was intended to be a small group RP in the first place, so it'll work either way)

[LadyTale]

@Rogue Colm I'm ready to start if y'all are.

[Phaesaris]

I'm ready to go!

[Rogue Colm]

@LadyTale@Phaesaris Opening post is up. Time to defend Prince Marth.

[LadyTale]

I'm thinking about adding a second character. He would be a raven laguz, if that's alright.

[Rogue Colm]

@LadyTale That's fine. Though that character will only be able to be in Beast form while in any realms pre-Sacred Stones, just because Laguz weren't a thing til then, and it was technically only Manakete, but we can make reasons for them to have existed but not happened to appear in-game.

[LadyTale]

@Rogue Colm All right then~ I'll start working on him.

[LadyTale]

Name: Ciar
Age: late 20s
Gender: male
Class: raven laguz
Game: Path of Radiance
Equipped Weapon: N/A
Appearance: Ciar has black hair, one dark green eye, pale skin, a tall, lithe build, and huge black wings. His face in repose looks slightly sad, and a scar goes through his left eye. He covers his blind eye with a black eyepatch. When in beast form, he looks just like an overlarge raven missing one eye.
Armor/Clothes: simple black pants, a black v-neck sleeveless tunic, and a jet earring in his right ear.
Background: After the Serenes Forest massacre, Ciar did his best to avenge the fallen herons, as his best friend was among those killed. He found the people who had set fire to the forest and passed judgement upon them, killing some, sparing others, as they deserved. Then the goddess found him.

[Phaesaris]

May I create a second character too? I want to make a healing class character to balance things out.

[Rogue Colm]

@Phaesaris Alright, that's fine. I think 5 would be the largest party we could take without being conspicuous.

[Phaesaris]

Name: Larana

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Class: Cleric

Game:Fire Emblem: Blazing Swords

Equipped Weapon: Stave

Appearance:


Armor/Clothes: She wears a long white robe laced with blue and gold accents.

Background: Larana was formerly part of a group of mercenaries that roamed the land. Though small, they were formidable allies -- so long as you could pay.
During a stay in a small town, Larana noticed a group of soldiers bullying the locals for money and goods. Though her companions thought nothing of this, Larana grew increasingly enraged at the soldiers' corruption. She was adamant to put a stop to it, and soon convinced her companions to help.
When night fell, Larana gave the orders and attacked the unsuspecting soldiers. With her issuing commands and healing allies, she defeated the soldiers and even caught the attention of the Goddess of Balance.

[Rogue Colm]

@Phaesaris Nice. Looks good. You can either assume Larana was taken at the same time or you can have her come in on the second mission. Your choice. Either way, you can put her in the Char tab.

[LadyTale]

@Rogue Colm What about Ciar? Is he accepted?

[PaulHaynek]

Please don't tell me I'm too late.

1st Character

Zaren? Who's Zaren? I know not of this Zaren. I swear!

Name: Kastor
Age: ??
Gender: Male
Class: Hero
Game: Fire Emblem: Awakening
Equipped Weapon: Silver Sword
Armor/Clothes: See that above? That's all he ever wears.
Background:
Hailing from the Outrealms, no one really knows where Kastor, and his partner Arkantos, exactly came from. They spent their time within Plegia as mercenaries, both hindering and assisting its secret but sinister goals. However, their statuses were cemented when they assisted a mother flee from the Grimleal and thus Kastor and Arkantos had no choice but to flee Plegia themselves.

Unfortunately, their option was either to go to warmongering Ylisse or to sail across the ocean which they cannot afford. Fortunately for them, the fates have other plans for them besides death.

2nd Character

Thrax? I'm not Thrax. I'm Arkantos! ARKANTOS!

Name: Arkantos
Age: ??
Gender: Male
Class: General
Game: Fire Emblem: Awakening
Equipped Weapon: Silver Lance
Armor/Clothes: See that above? That's all he ever wears.
Background:

[Rogue Colm]

@LadyTale Sorry, I didn't see Clar. The character is good, but not sure on our numbers, and I'm not sure I'd like to fill up spaces with second characters when we have someone who hasn't had a first accepted.

@PaulHaynek Not too late, but I may have each person control 1 character or split the second characters into separate missions. Haven't decided yet, and I'll probably let you guys vote on that.

@Phaesaris

So, if you guys had to choose, would you rather:

A: control one character each or,

B: have two teams?
