A Fire Emblem Fates Based RP Anyone?

@BurningDaisies Kitsune class, obviously. Gotta get dat floof.

Jokes, jokes. I actually haven't yet decided, but like I said yesterday I had some ideas brewing. Swords are a natural fit and I want a promote with two weapons, so I'm leaning Mercenary line (flavor text fits too!) or Thief->Trickster, which would put more emphasison the whole "not actually good at fighting" aspect, even if it's not right flavor.

However I'm also playing with the idea of Troubadour line since it might be funny to have the heir apparent be less a "glorious leader at the head of the charge" and more a support. Tho that does bring up the question whether I'd start pre-promote but eh.

By the by, if you want tomes and swords, Tactician seems to fit the character you're going for down to a T with the "good at magic, good at swords, good at strategy" combo.

@Genkai

If we're not playing the royals themselves, there's an interesting case for having our chars be the retainers of the Nohrian royals, what with the whole idea of turning against your friend and liege and all the fallout from it. Bonus points if Genkai is playing the Hoshido siblings as royalty because that's perfect fuel for misunderstandings.

But anyway, for your questions (answered assuming royalty as per above):

The character I've got works best as the heir apparent, so he ought to be the oldest yeah. I didn't really have anything in mind insofar as extra siblings, though.

With that in mind, if they know, the family reaction is probably going to be pretty adverse? You've got the best and the eldest running around god knows where, hanging out with national enemies.

But if they're supportive of our characters, that would open up some interesting avenues. If they don't believe us but still support us, maybe they're secretly Hoshidan sympathizers/spies or something. If they do believe us and support us, then that's that. But I imagine putting resources into a project that is traitorous if not insane would not fly with the severe nature of Nohrian politics.

If they don't know period, I'd imagine they'd be worried sick and probably send some people after them or assume the worst and take the appropriate courses of action (whatever those might be)

@BurningDaisies No real preference, but I figure a family of some renown/nobility works better for plot and characterization

@BurningDaisies Oh, nice, so it all lines up.

I had him down as well-accomplished enough, but not to a legendary extent if that makes any sense. Basically he's supposed to be a guy who works hard behind the scenes to make sure that he can fit the image he's trying to shoehorn himself into. So I could definitely see her coming to that conclusion.

I actually support the idea of her underestimating herself and looking up to her brother, because I feel like that would make him suffer a bit more since he'd a) definitely interpret it as pity and b) there would be a mutual "BUT YOU'RE ACTUALLY COOL!" sentiment going on.

@BurningDaisies Not at all, I've got kind of a decent idea of what I want out of the guy in mind so I can probably answer.

I guess the most important thing between the two - and also the reason I wanted this role specifically - was the whole idea of "the older brother is supposed to stay one step ahead" contrasted with the reality of a hypercompetent little sister, which I thought would be interesting to explore.

I figure the disposition towards her would be dependent on how smug she is about how capable she is? Whatever the case, there'd be some underlying envy on his part I feel, but he'd do his best to not be a bad brother.

Also just for future reference, I was imagining either a class somewhere along Mercenary or Troubadour lines. Or if we're not using classes, Swords because of the royal aesthetic or Staves so I can have him be miffed and overworked. This bit's not quite relevant just yet, but I'm also entertaining the idea of later on maybe picking up a second proficiency to represent something like finding a true calling as opposed to forcing himself into a role.

Hm, well if everyone is flexible, I'll confirm taking Sibling 3. Male and older, for reference.

I've got an idea stewing for the older Nohrian sibling as Sibling 3, but I could also go for Hoshidan Sibling 1 or Nohrian 4

I have no problems with that whatsoever.

I'd be pretty interested in doing this as well
