A Fire Emblem Fates Based RP Anyone?

Nohr - Faye

.: Faye :.

| : [❀] : |

Appearance:

Hider

Age: 16

| : [❀] : |

Class:
Tactician

Weapon Affinity:
Swords - D

Magic Affinity:
Dark Magic - D
Anima - D

| : [❀] : |

Personality:
A bit bull-headed and willful at times, but Faye is usually gentle and accepting. In possession of an overwhelmingly positive outlook and an idealistic, almost naive, sense of morality, her general attitude passively encourages those around her.

While prodigy is a tall order to fill, it is true that Faye can generally remember most of what she sees, but her memory isn't perfect nor is she a genius. Between her own talents and growing up around educated people has skewed her perception to expect an unrealistic level of competence from everyone. Despite this, she is never condescending and is more than willing to teach others what she knows.

Talents and Shortcomings:
Faye has few problems picking up new skills and generally excels at whatever she applies herself to. However, to maintain a level of excellence requires constant practice.

Hopes and Fears:
"One day I'll become like Nii-sama: someone who always knows the right thing to do and who everyone admires."

"I would rather die than disappoint Nii-sama."

Nohr - Amos

.: Amos :.

| : [ ⚔ ] : |

Appearance:

Hider

Age: 23

| : [ ⚔ ] : |

Class:
Fighter

Weapon Affinity:
Axes - C

| : [ ⚔ ] : |

Personality:
A rough upbringing in a cutthroat town has squeezed much of the humanity out of Amos. The trauma left him unable to navigate his way through social encounters like normal person. All too familiar with the horrors of violence, he took the field of battle as a sellsword and made his home on the road. Despite his calm demeanor, he is somewhat wild and unpredictable, often resorting to violence as a means to an end.

His intimidating physique and black-and-white outlook often leads people to believe he is a muscle-brained simpleton. In reality, he is a deeply conflicted individual.

Outwardly, Amos seems to know right from wrong, but follows whatever path is most convenient for him. However, that moral sense is something he lacks, but aspires to cultivate. The reason he gravitates towards his current employer, Faye, is that he recognizes as morally upright; particularly, he uses her as his own moral compass; and through her, he vicariously reconnects with a part of himself he once thought was lost.

Even if he weren't being paid, he'd likely still follow his righteous employer.

Talents and Shortcomings:
Keen intuition and an apparent damaged capacity for empathy make Amos useful as mercenary, but a very poor diplomat. He believes its much more effective to leverage someone's self-interest than appeal to their better nature. In practice, he can read people easily and sense their intentions, but finds difficulty in "doing the right thing".

Hopes and Fears:
His greatest hope and greatest fear are inextricably linked.
For someone like him, he fears its all too easy to become the kind of remorseless monster seen lurking in dark alleys and bloodying themselves on the field of battle. He doesn't want to lose what little humanity he has left, and will fight to keep it.

Nohr - Sorscha

.: Sorscha :.

| : [ ⚔ ] : |

Appearance:

Hider

Age: 22

| : [ ⚔ ] : |

Class:
?

Weapon Affinity:
Axes -
Lances -
Swords -

| : [ ⚔ ] : |

Personality:
Sorscha can be easily described with one word:

Shrewd.

Not the type to mince words or quote eloquent prose, Sorscha has very direct--and sometimes abrasive--manner of addressing others and has no problems speaking her mind. She prizes efficiency and personal growth, and maintains a regular training schedule like clockwork.
But, underneath the facade of a servile knight is an intelligent and calculating mind. She makes a point to determine people's interests and goals, and has little patience for gossip. She tends to keep a measured distance from strangers and insipid court ladies. Trained in court etiquette from a young age, she know when she can speak and when to stay silent, and has excellent control over her expressions. Her poker face slowly come to have a reputation of its own.

Talents and Shortcomings:
Having grown up in a noble family filled with ministers and government officials, she has keen understanding into how they think and the nature of politics. She relies on her experiences and intuition to judge the character of those she meets, but is sometimes too quick to offer harsh criticism. Regardless, her assessments are always insightful.
It's no mystery why she serves as both a bodyguard to [Onii-sama] and as his personal aide.

Hopes and Fears:
Although she would never admit it, she harbors an unrequited affection for her liege lord and charge [Onii-sama]. Born from too low of a family to be eligible as his legal wife, Sorscha became a knight so she can at least remain by his side and keep him safe.

Personality:
Taciturn and thoughtful, Karst may not be the most intelligent, but wise and insightful in spite of that.

Talents and Shortcomings:
She is a skilled navigator and naturalist, but has difficulty relating to people from the city. In particular, she tends to regard them with suspicion She's more likely to hold a conversation with the falcons she raises than with a noble from the capital.

Hopes and Fears:

History:
Karst and her tribe enjoy much autonomy as few rulers have the means to chase after life-long nomads through treacherous mountains and hungry rivers. Often labelled as outlaws for failing to respect the proper authorities of an area, the life of her and her people may be harsh, but they enjoy its simplicity over the unnecessary complication of governance and sovereignty.

@Genkai
Unless I'm mistaken in the interpretation, as core royalty, we would be in the direct line of succession to the king.

For your Nohrian twin, a butler will suffice.

Age? I'm thinking 17-20?

As for character sheets... I may have 2-4 done tonight. o.o
I've been busy. xD

A Fire Emblem Fates Based RP Anyone?

@Grey
Core royalty is fine~
I think we're in rough agreement then on the major details.

I'm currently toying with a few additional character concepts, so its likely those will be brought in later as extras: retainers, servants, etc.

A Fire Emblem Fates Based RP Anyone?

@Grey
I haven't played Awakening, so tactician didn't even come to mind. Thanks~

Depending on how much older your character is, it wouldn't be a stretch to be pre-promoted. You could adapt the older version of Valkyrie, so you're a mounted unit with staves and swords.

Also! I do have some ideas about our shared character history.

Let's say we're royalty, but a few steps removed from the line of succession. We could the children of the king's younger brother. It wouldn't be a stretch to say our father could be the lord of an important duchy, either responsible for troops or natural resources. Perhaps both?
Assuming that, the eldest (being you) would be groomed for an administrative role, so being a "support" character on the field makes a bit of sense.

I was also thinking, that you might be the child of our father's first wife, and the sister be born to a second or third wife. That would give us an easy way to explain any age difference. We'd probably have some other brothers and sisters too, which we can flesh out later as needed.

Having a competent older brother as a role model, she grows up into somewhat of a tomboy. I imagine her tagging along to the general's meetings and such, being more interested in learning military strategy and technical studies than lessons in how to act at court or keeping up with fashion.

What do you think?

if anyone wants a retainer I could see myself joining this as one

Alder

@Alder
I think it would be fun to have a PC retainer, but @Genkai has final say on that one. =o

As Grey had mentioned, swords have a more royal aesthetic to them, so I was leaning in that direction.

Speaking of @Grey!
Have you given much consideration to which class you would take?

A Fire Emblem Fates Based RP Anyone?

Witch gave you access to Dark and Anima magic. Any female unit could reclass into it.
It was great as an anti-mage mage unit, but it was a glass cannon of the highest calibre.
They eventually get the ability to use warp once per turn, which was incredibly useful and worth the squishiness.

I was thinking of combining Dark/Anima Tomes with some kind of bladed weapon: knives, swords, or axes.

The question is how does one accomplish that? There aren't too many tier 1 classes that offer that kind combination. In Fates, I don't believe there are any. It's exclusive to promoted classes, so it may be something I need to work towards. =o

A Fire Emblem Fates Based RP Anyone?

@Genkai
An example that would be different?

Kind of? Not sure actually...

I really like the Witch class. Within the game, it's quite possible to have a hero or ninja reclass into Witch. But I wasn't sure how you would accomplish that roleplay-wise, except perhaps through intense in-character study.

It could all be condensed into Nohr noble I guess...

I could be overthinking it.
It's a definite possibility. xD

Another avenue is to be the children of landed nobles whose holdings protect the border. Perhaps something like a margrave?

It would be both politically and strategically damaging, if the lord responsible for holding the border was missing his oldest and brightest children on the eve of war with Hoshido.
Honestly, they would probably keep that under wraps. Even more so, if scouts returned with word that his kids were aiding "the enemy".
There's also the moral hazard of putting ones family in jeopardy in pursuit of "doing the right thing".

Edit;
@GM-sama, What class/options would be open to us?
Or are we using classes and their restrictions more as guidelines than any kind of hard rules to follow?

A Fire Emblem Fates Based RP Anyone?

@Grey
I'm game for a potential court intrigue side-plot, if you want to be among the peerage or royalty.

Considering how Nohrian royalty uses absolute primogeniture for determining order of succession, I would assume the nobility would follow a similar tradition.

Is your character our family's heir apparent?
If not, who is the eldest sibling?
How many additional brothers and sisters are there?

If our characters ran away to go stop an unseen evil, did our family object to our actions?What ties might we have cut with our family?
Or do they support our decision? And, what consequences might our family suffer in aiding us? (if any)
Do they even know?
