Fire Emblem Awakening: The Crusade

[AirBender]

Here are my characters guys!

Exalt Saya

Name: Saya

Appearance:


Class: Lord

Age: 24

Sex: Female

Weapon Rank: D

Equipment: Falchion

Skills: Aether, It unleashes two consecutive blows; the first restores HP equal to damage dealt, and the second negates the enemy's defense.

Older Sibling, the user grants a stat upgrade to any siblings, blood related or not, who are on the same battlefield.

Plot subjective: Yes.

Personality: Saya is noble with a strong sense of justice. She is kind, gentle, and intelligent. A good leader through and through. Though a bit naïve she always means good. She has a lot of weight on her shoulders, due to accomplishments of her family in the past, but she never frowns about it. She hides her pain and suffering from others and faces everything with a smile. She's surprisingly tough and can endure more than most people expect. She's selfless and would do anything to protect those she cares about.

Biography: Saya is the granddaughter of Lucina, and the great granddaughter of Chrom. She's been in training to take over as Exalt ever since she was a little girl. Everyone was so happy when her mark appeared at a young age. She has big shoes to fill and has worked very hard to be able to fill them. She didn't do a whole lot of playing or interacting with other children her age. She spent most of her time as a child studying, practicing, and training. She started sword training at the orders of her grandmother. She never admitted it, but her favorite lessons were always the swordplay ones.

She met a boy who had been orphaned and was being raised in the castle, and immediately took him under her wing. She acted as his big sister and made sure to be near him every second she could. As they got older, she seemed to be the only one to see his potential, once she took over as Exalt, after her mother's passing, she got him a position in the Tactician's academy entrance exam, and he did the rest. She saw less of him then, considering he was learning and she was busy running a county, but their bond never lessened. When she needed an escort for the up and coming meeting, the choice was obvious.

East Khan Elesia

Name: Elesia

Appearance:


Class: Mercenary

Age: 20

Sex: Female

Weapon Rank: D

Equipment: Iron Sword

Skills: Patience, has a higher chance of hitting and dodging when the user is attacked first.

Feroxi Way, the user gets a movement boost in uneven terrains, like snow and sand.

Plot subjective: Yes.

Personality: Elesia is a fighter through and through. She's stubborn to a fault and refuses to go down, even when the situation is hopeless. She's fiercely loyal and would die for a cause she believed in. She's protective and caring in a mama bear sort of way. Mess with her allies and she'll rip your head off. She's vulgar and doesn't know when to hold her tongue, usually saying things that get her into trouble. Don't ask her opinion on anything unless you want an answer, because she'll be bluntly honest with you. She's impatient and gets restless easily. Between battles you'll often find her running around the campsite sparring anyone who will accept her challenge, or simply running around the campsite for the sake of getting up and doing something.

Biography: Elesia has been fighting every since she was a little girl. She was rather sickly as a child, fighting off illness and illness until she finally said enough. People joke and say that she willed herself to be healthy again, which is partially true. As soon as she was able to, she began training with a sword, as is the Feroxi way to start weapon training so early. She has dreams of becoming a champion to the Khans, but never imagined herself in a leadership position. She became one of the youngest of the Khan's champions at the age of seventeen.

When the East Khan passed away, the West Khan, whom she was championed to, convinced her to join in the competition for the newly opened position. She decided to in order to humor him, and ended up winning. Despite the fact that she hadn't wanted it in the first place, she's done an excellent job so far. Fighting is something she does well, and the Feroxi way is all about combat strength. Despite never being the one with full power over the county, she has learned a lot from the West Khan, and hopes to have control over the country soon. If only to annoy her counterpart. Though she'll have to wait a while, considering they just recently had their last tourney.

Got my folks nice and finalized, for now.

Stranger in a Strange Land

Name: Jerod

Appearance:


Class: Fighter

Age: 35

Sex: Male

Weapon Rank:
Axes - D

Equipment:
- Iron Axe

Skills:
- Berserk Terror : Facing a man with no fear, no concern for his own life, and completely focused on the wanton slaughter of any in his way tends to create a very understandable effect on those unfortunate enough to be in Jerod's way. Even when fear is overcome, the sheer onslaught of attacks makes retaliating difficult. Anyone who is directly opposing Jerod suffers penalties in attacking him, whether due to fear or finding an opening in the onslaught. However, Jerod's own defenses suffer equally at best, which makes taking advantage of openings by others not under his baleful focus potentially easier.

- To the Bitter End : Jerod has no fear of Death, treading an all too familiar path every day he walks into a battlefield, meeting the steely gaze of the reaper without a care in the world. The closer to death Jerod gets, and the more forlorn the odds of victory, the harder and better Jerod fights. He won't go quietly, ever, and he will never quit the field until dead or incapacitated beyond his ability to function. (+5 HP, in really fancy terms)

Plot subjective: By all means, go for it.

Personality: Jerod walks through life with a grin on his face, and an axe ready to handle the problems that nothing else will solve. Jovial and easy going, the large freelancer walks the world in well worn boots and is the first to drink to a toast or take a day off to relax and enjoy the scenery. However, this friendly exterior is hardly a truth, not all of it at any rate. While he tends to be an easy going, spiritual without professed religion, and approachable fellow, find him on the battlefield and an entirely new face arises. Gone is the jovial nature, the friendly drunk that would sooner relax under the shade of a tree all day and watch the clouds float by than work the day away. He throws himself into combat with wild abandon, without a care for his own well being or survival, throwing himself at the largest concentration of enemies and fighting until he is dead, or everything in his way is dead. And he will keep advancing, especially if he is convinced it is a suicidal gesture. But whether this is due to him proving others wrong, or because he genuinely seeks death, is up for debate.

Biography: Jerod was born in the land of Regna Ferox, the son of a healer and her blacksmith husband. Early on in life, Jerod proved handy with an axe and loved to follow the older warriors and fighters around, entranced by tales of glory and honor hard won in the name of Regna Ferox's Khans. So of course, as early as he could, the young lad joined with the Feroxian military, under the late West Khan specifically, with little more than a hand forged iron axe from his father and a set of rudimentary armor to keep him safe. He rose rapidly in the ranks, technically of outside blood of the late Khan's family and would come to champion their cause during one of the Tournaments that would decide the ruler of Ferox for the duration until the next tournament. Jerod would narrowly win, but something changed him during the fight. He seemed less jovial and spirited during combat, and during a raid against a notable bandit threat he vanished. Assumed dead, considering a shattered axe matching the one that he had wielded famously against his opponent during the tournament for Ferox was found among over a dozen dead bandits, he was mourned as a hero of Regna Ferox.

Jerod had outlived this fake death, having grown tired of the sport that Feroxians turned war into and carried a conscious heavy with the lives he had taken, purposefully and accidentally alike, over the years he had served the West Khan and threw himself with reckless abandon at any task deemed impossible or suicidal. He let death and fate decide his life span, fighting with a careless abandon that only those insane or suicidal would even consider. Yet, whether it was thanks to the honest, well forged armor of his father, the skill that he wielded his axe with, or just blind luck or leading a blessed life, he lived. For ten years he would throw himself into harms way eagerly, testing fate and death time and time again. He would walk the corners of the world, finding his spirituality again during his travels and continuing to throw himself wildly into ranks of enemies whenever the cause rose up. Word would reach him that the Church of Naga planned a Crusade against all heretics and non believers. Seeing the situation as an ultimate chance to test the will of the powers that be, he set immediate course for Ylisse

Other: Jerod speaks with a heavy accent, making him sometimes unintelligible to others, friends or foes.

Champion Hunter

Name: Nori

Appearance:


Class: Archer

Age: 27

Sex: Female

Weapon Rank:
Bow - D

Equipment:
Iron Bow
Vulnary x2

Skills:
- Shove : Nori does not like people getting up close and personal, and has practiced techniques to create enough distance to lodge an arrow into an offending attackers face. The first time she is attacked at melee range, she can counter and send the opponent reeling far enough back for her to create the space necessary to open fire with her bow of choice.

- Hunter's Mark : Nori is a huntswoman turned bounty hunter at the behest of her mother, and has spent ten years of her life trying to track down a dead man who certain people are still convinced are alive. Nori can pick out individual targets during a fight and, as long as she is focusing her efforts against them, her accuracy and lethality greatly increase at the cost of being less efficient against other targets, distracted by how she would deal with the primary target. With practice, though, it just might be possible to not be so readily distracted when focusing on a target...

Plot subjective: Yes, Just do It.

Personality: Nori is a quiet, focused, and determined young woman who has a stubborn streak miles wide, almost as much as her older brother Jerod. She has mixed feelings about her older brother, and tends to be touchy on the subject of family because of it, quickly getting either flustered or angry over the matter. Due to her brother's jovial and carefree nature, from what she remembers of him, she often had to be the calm and focused one, or so she thought. In fact, she just wants to find her older brother again and figure out why he faked his death. Or at least confirm he is gone for the sake of closure and peace since no body was found. As such, any goal she pursues, especially related to Jerod, she pursues with an intense focus that leads her to forget to eat, sleep, even care for her own injuries if it means slowing down in her pursuit of her goals.

Biography: When Jerod was thirteen years old his younger sister was born, named Nori by their parents. Unlike the large, rough and tumble fighter that Jerod proved to be a natural towards, Nori possessed a natural grace and dexterity that would have been largely wasted on any calling involving the brutal crush of melee combat, at least the majority of teachings available in Regna Ferox. Since their family was hardly rich, she learned how to use a bow at an early age, showing off to her brother and helping bring food in during the winters, readily falling along the path of a hunter rather easily. As she grew older, Nori would admire her brother's dedication and skill in service to the West Khan, even though she sided with the East Khan, and would routinely try to convince him to change over to her side so their family was not as split as it was already. She was going to talk to him again when she saw their raiding party ride out of the gates, and by the time she was able to catch up, men were mourning the death of the West Khan's champion.

Nori was quick to pick up that Jerod was not dead. The axe was, while close to correct, clearly a replica forged by her father. She did not bring this up until she returned home and confronted him on the matter. Her father explained the situation, and her mother begged her to find Jerod before he did something rash and died for it. Nori, confused by her brother's apparently sudden change of heart and wild abandonment of all he had worked for, was quick to agree and quietly confided with both Khans about what she suspected was going on. With their blessings she left for parts unknown, tracking rumors of the blonde wildman of the North, rapidly finding numerous slaughtered bandits, rebels, and criminals that had troubled local towns. She grew increasingly concerned with the stories of his wild abandon and reckless lack of concern for his own safety, working harder every day to try and catch up with him. She nearly did, if he had not so suddenly made his destination Ylisse. She caught wind of it later, and cursing fate, turned her path towards Ylisse as well. If her brother was heading there, than by Naga, she would catch him there this time.

[AirBender]

@Eisenhorn Whelp, if you want your characters to have relations to the Khans, you're going to have to talk to me. Since I'm playing one of them.

[Eisenhorn]

@AirBender I saw that after I posted them, no intention of infringing without talking to ya first there. So that's all my bad for not looking for new CS's before posting mine up.

[AirBender]

@Eisenhorn It's no problem. I meant the whelp in a friendly, oops, sort of way.

[Eisenhorn]

@AirBender Hah, no worries, I caught the drift of what you meant. All things considered, since you are playing the Khans, I wouldn't want to intrude on any plans you might have had. I can tweak things, if need be.

[AirBender]

@Eisenhorn Nah, it's cool. Just add in something about the previous East Khan dying and the new one taking their place. We can chat about some relationship stuff between Nori and Elesia if you'd like, if she's still Elesia's champion.

[Eisenhorn]

@AirBender Well, I never initially intended for Nori to be a Champion, just the younger sister to Jerod who can easily be a prior Khan's champion. She felt it was her duty to inform the Khans of a potential development with a prior Champion before leaving to track him down. It would be an interesting development, if you wanted to go that route with it. And consider Jerod taken care of either way, I'll just add a bit in stating he was the Champion of the late West Khan, and problem solved with him.

[AirBender]

@Eisenhorn Ah I see. Her hider said Champion Hunter so I got a little confused.

The East Khan is the one who died. That's why Elesia is now the East Khan.
