Took longer than I thought it would. Sorry to keep everyone waiting.

Fire Emblem Awakening: The Crusade

Guillame deRossane

---

Really, of all the places to land, it had to be Plegia. It wasn't like that was the exact opposite of where he wanted to go. Not at all. When he left the army, he had done so to get away from that blasted crusade, not towards it. Of course, he hadn't really bothered to ask the Captain exactly where they were going. In fact, he hadn't asked him much of anything. He had just hopped the first boat across the ocean he could find.

He hated the term 'stowaway'. He much preferred the term "Clandestine Passenger". Far less callous.

Still, he couldn't change the past, so as soon as he was in Plegia, he made the decision to be out of Plegia. Easier said than done, of course, but people were happy to point him towards the border ("East!" seemed to be the general consensus). It had been some time since he had landed, but he had managed to find his way from village to village, stopping at night to rest. People were more than willing to accommodate him, which wasn't that surprising, really: Nobles were a varied sort, and one could be a saint while the other starts a 100-year war because some bint looked wrong at him. Folks, though, were always the same. They don't much care for who's king so long as they can live their lives away from the wrong end of a spear.

That's why he couldn't bring himself to stay in the military any longer. He had joined to live a life of glory and wonder. Even when those dreams had worn off, he stayed for the camaraderie and prestige soldiering brought. But when news of a crusade spread, he knew he couldn't, in good conscience, stay. People believed things because that's all they've ever known. Besides, there wasn't ever really a question to Grima's existence, even if he did try to destroy the world.

Not, of course, that he'd be willing to stay. Plegia was hot, and not in the "My, what a day out! Make sure to bring water before you go a-tilling!" sense, more of a "Stay inside, the sky itself is on fire". And the sand! It was course, dry, and it found itself into the most cumbersome of places. Part of him understood why the Plegians must've wanted to end the world; it had to be better than living here.

He kicked the ground in frustration.

The desert regarded him dryly.

At the very least, he took some solace in the fact that he was, apparently, awfully close to Ylisse. The last place he had visited had told him that the border was only a few days away. He could stop at one of the smaller towns on the way, and be across the border in a day or two. Or, at least, that had been the plan.

But even from a distance, he could something was off. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but the town as a whole just didn't seem right. Whether it was paranoia or providence, he elected to march ever towards the border, praying to whatever god was listening that he wouldn't catch ill-fortune on the way there.

@Apollosarcher Heyo, that sounds great to me.

I think Guillame will find a way to pop up in Pelagia. Where better to run after deserting than crossing the ocean?

Fire Emblem Awakening: The Crusade

Guillame

Name: Guillame deRossane

Appearance:

Guillame

Class: Mercenary

Age: 21

Sex: Male

Weapon Rank: Sword Rank: D

Equipment: Bronze Sword, Vulnary x1

Skills:

Strong Riposte
When the enemy triggers the battle, damage +3.

Espirit de Corps
When supporting another unit, he increases their damage done, and decreases damage taken.

Plot subjective: Yes. Go crazy with it.

Personality: Bright and cheery, Guillame wears his clothes loose and his heart on his sleeve. Emotional and headstrong, he often acts before thinking, which gets him in trouble more often than not. He has a penchant for dance and reverie, and is always up for a spot of fun. A deeply supportive person, he cares for his comrades both on and off the battlefield, always willing to lend a hand when and wherever needed.

Biography: Guillame was born a peasant in the Rosanne countryside. The oldest of 4 children, he was used to taking charge and being authoritative even from a young age. When he wasn't working in the fields with his parents, he could be found play-fighting with his friends, or generally goofing off. Guillame still remembers his disaffection with the appointing of the Grand Cleric Vanessa: His father had explained to him that she had come to that position because she had found an stone of some sort. Guillame came to the conclusion that finding colorful rocks on the ground was no proper basis for a ecclesiastical hierarchy, and hasn't quite gotten over it yet. He has yet to make pilgrimage to the Grand Cathedral, and has no particular love for the church.

Still, he has something of a patriotic streak, and was more than willing to report when he was conscripted into the Rosannean army. Surprisingly, military life was a good fit for him, and he soon found his way through the bureaucratic ladder to his position of Aide-de-camp, where his dogged dedication to the rules of war and warfare gave him an ethical grounding in the otherwise dubious moral nature of war. With the rumors of a crusade making their way among the ranks, Guillame has felt less confidant in his standing in the Rosannean army, and has even considered desertion.

6 is the magic number.

Changed it to a mercenary. Didn't see too many, and I didn't need to change much. :D

@AirBender Didn't notice. I'll change it to something else.

His tendency towards day-dreaming often leads others to accuse him of being absent-minded, an accusation not without basis: his thoughts tend to wander when he's deprived of stimulation.
