Expolar

A Star Wars SAGA Proposal

Interested and curious. But I should mention that I have not played either ttrpgs that you mentioned. I only heard seen a few games of Edge of Empires, so depends on how this interest check goes, I'll do some self studying. But if you know of any nice online resources, that would be very helpful

Keratia: Blade Maiden’s Exploits

Just in case,
Here is a Perception check of 15 for Caeda looking out into the ocean's surface during her time on the night watch.

Keratia: Blade Maiden’s Exploits

Caeda quickly focused reassembled the light crossbow. She felt slightly embarrassed for not thinking of this reason to have the bow in its previous state. Her mind too fixated on feeling ignorant on such a good idea. "Well, although it may have been easier to carry and general good maintenance like you said. Its probably best to have it still at the ready, if these things plan to attack us from the water, you should probably have crossbow more ready in case of such an emergency. That being said, I should be leaving now."

Feeling she is already late first her night watch, Caeda waved good bye and heading outside on the deck of the ship and began looking out in the gray scaled view of the night on the ocean for any signs of threats that may pop out from the surface of the water.

@Lucius Cypher
Hi Lucius,

It's been awhile and life stuff has been up and down for me, sorry for not mentioning anything and keeping you in the dark. I have a tendency to have my attention locked and focused on certain things (like work) that other things don't really appear in my radar as often then they should for me to do them. But I wanted ask if its possible to continue this RP. I still feel the interest as I remember playing as Caeda and as a player wanting to explore the world. If anything, just ping me to help reminder. But I suppose that is up to you if you still have the time and interest to continue the RP. I just wanted to ask what your thoughts were before I try making a post in the IC.

Fire Emblem: Ashes of Sacrifice [Fall of the Empire]

Thought I would ask just ask to stir a bit of activity in the OOC. But does anyone have any plans of yet of what their characters plan to do after the battle with the bandits?

Fire Emblem: Ashes of Sacrifice [Fall of the Empire]

I really hope we can get this boss battle over with soon, I don't like to keep people waiting.

On another note to keep the ooc active, @Expolar what's your character going to be like? Where are they going to come from, look like, etc.

@Savo

I just posted Wes's CS, its been done for a few days after PMing Sho with it and a few other questions.

But to quickly answer your question on Wes's ethnicity, he is from Suddene. So we are indeed quite a diverse group.

Fire Emblem: Ashes of Sacrifice [Fall of the Empire]

Wesley 'Wes' Gusto

I'm a pacifist by choice, but violent by nature

Name: Wesley 'Wes' Gusto
Age: 20
Gender: Male

Personality:

After many years under the guidance of Maribel, Wes can tend to pick up her personality of sounding matter of fact with things and can come across as being emotionless, but in actuality, is trying to be down to earth. But because of his limited interactions with people, he has a bit of a tendency of missing social cues which doesn't help in this case. Also he tries to be quite chivalrous tries to be as helpful as he can be in any situation. But there are times that he can be a bit hard on himself. These feelings eventually lead to feeling guilty and makes him want to do more things to feel as if it will make up for it. And then there is a lurking rage which is a feeling that he fears the most as it reminds him of the beast within him.

Backstory:

Wesley childhood was as the second born of the Gusto noble family in Suddene. Both parents were native Suddenese, his father was born from nobility while his mother was born as a commoner. Like most Suddenese, his father highly prized and sought to strengthen his bloodline, so with news of a powerful magic user woman that worked as a mercenary, he was quick to the opportunity to propose and marry here into his family. His sister, Waverly, was first born and as she grew, was quick to show her mother powerful magical bloodline. But once Wesley was born and arrived at the age that Waverly displayed the bloodline, his magical prowess were dismal in comparison. His mother from her own experience, knew adrenaline inducing situations can heighten the trait, this was already shown to be the same with Waverly, but became more intensive for Wesley. Although harsh, he tried to endure these torturous training as hope that one day he would meet his parents expectations. But it would eventually come to a point that both his parents abused him enough that there was an eventual break point. But the only thing that Wesley can remember that day was Waverly's scream, an axe in front of him, and the lifeless severed bodies of their parents.

After that event, his memory of each day became blurred and only bits of them can be remembered. Near the end of this, he would find himself on a ship heading to the Kingdom of Reynes with the a woman. Upon fully regaining his senses, the woman introduced herself as his aunt, Maribel, his mother's sister. It was during this time on the ship that she would slowly explain his parents death, that being he was indeed the who killed them. Guilt would overcome Wesley as before he would try to deny what he saw, but just hearing the fact of the matter that he himself is to blame crushed him. Fallen to his knees and staring down to his trembling hands, Maribel wrapped her hands around his. She said that although he experienced such a traumatizing childhood with his parents, she hopes she can show that his hands can be more than just violence. Upon arriving on the shores of the Kingdom of Reynes, Maribel began her teachings with Wesley.

Many years would pass and Wes saw Maribel as an amazing spiritual woman. Firstly, she taught to practice control his lurking rage through mediated breaths exercises, especially after occasions of unsavory folks trying to hassle or attack them. Then she told him of the close relationship with nature that every living in this world. Nature provides us of many helpful resources and in turn, we eventually give back to nature in various ways, although it may be at varying amounts. And lastly, her final lessen was the use of white magic by focusing and harnessing the flow of energy around ones self, that energy can then take or give energy depending on how the user state of mind.

Eventually into his young adulthood, Maribel believed Wes was ready, deciding to tell him that now would be the best time for him to explore the world. For most of their years together, they usually lived within the forest near the settlement of Galehaut and tried to keep a simple life. So with the murmurs of war escalating, Maribel truly believed that now would be the perfect time to venture off into the world of Alba with her teachings guiding him.

Fire Emblem: Ashes of Sacrifice [Fall of the Empire]

I'm really enjoying all the amount of detail that you entered into Fire Emblem world you created, especially the character creation and progression process. If you are still open for another player to join, I will be super happy to jump in. Especially as I'm a fan of the Fire Emblem series.

But I'm still trying to read through everything and plan to make a character once I'm finished. Currently planing to make him a pilgrim.

Keratia: Blade Maiden’s Exploits

Caeda was really hoping these sahuagins would jump on board to actually see how much her melee skills have improved, or at the very least, not become rusty. But once again, blasting them with the gauntlet would be more than enough if they decide to stay in the water. As she was thinking of where she should position herself if these sahuagins appeared, she noticed Sticky with crossbow appear broken. The sight of it troubling her of how the crew properly maintain their equipments. "Sticky please tell me, why do you have a dissembled crossbow. If these fish people begin attacking us, you won't be able to help us. Here, let me take a look, maybe I can figure out how to assemble your crossbow."

Keratia: Blade Maiden’s Exploits

Caeda's eyes snapped open after the first knock. The thought of work again as a guard duty reminded her too much of her home in Bayrest. Although the idea made her feel home sick, going back to a similar routine for work got her excited and out of bed. Sensing the knocks were not of furious danger, Caeda told the person to wait a moment. Presumably she guessed it was Sticky since it felt like she saw him the most, probably because she mostly see him during her training. Within a short time, she prepared her equipment at a leisure pace than rushing out. When she finished and stepped out of her room, she was correct in the assumption that it was Sticky.

As they made their way to the deck, Caeda spoke as they made their way through the ship "Thank you again for the assistance Sticky. Tell me, did Captain Ashbrand request you to help us on watch duty tonight? Would be great to have an extra set of eyes like ours to keep watch for what ever may cause trouble in these open waters. That and after our sparing matches, I am quite curious how you can handle yourself in a battle." That last part being her actual curiosity since Sticky does not have the usual orcish physique.
