Name: "My name is Ashielle."

Looks good, aside from a few minor questions that I have.
1.It'd be good to know her actual age, as a GM. That being said, if you want it to be a secret for a plot point, just PM me.
2.Imbue's a rather high skill for a solider of all things, being tier one. That being said, exactly how much would this increased magical capacity be? For someone that doesn't use tomes, I can't imagine it'd be very useful in the overall scheme of things.

Anyway, I'll be making some countries and brief summaries of each down at the bottom of this post, so that'll help with your bio.

I'll wait til you've gotten down your individual personalities before I look them over in detail. Although, I do have to ask if you're up for having four characters straight off the bat.

Looks good so far, I'll be certain to look over it again when you finish up.

So, aside from the forces of Not-so-Justice, I'll be adding a few of my own to the Mercenary group as a whole. That being said, I'll be posting the CSs a bit later.

Their classes and genders are as follows:

1.Warrior/Male
2.Mercenary/Female
3.TBA/TBA

And now for some quick names and brief descriptions of the countries that populate this world.

Countries in the "Vale" of the Old Mountains(The group of five countries that populate the mountains where Vinsenia lies)((This place is also hella rainy, being close to both the coast and high in the mountains)))
-Vinsenia, rich with metal and defensive units, like knights and archers, has the new king that's conquering the rest of the Vale
-Caldegia, a hilly land in the mountains that uses fliers as it's main troops, is both neighbors with Vinsenia and was the first country to fall to the conquest of the Vinenian king
-Del Monray, a country that just lost have its lands during a civil war fifty years in the past, holds the royal family and the legendary item of the Del Monrays. Conquered by the Vinsenians
-The Free State of Del Monray, the other half of Del Monray, ruled by a noble family. Conquered by the the Vinsenians.
-Belinni, the state that holds the entrance to the Old Mountains. Where the mercs have been hired, A land rich with horses and calvery, also the richest land in the Vale. Is the trade center of the Old Mountains, and where most of the food and cargo comes from. Being marched on by the Vinsenian army and fleeing soliders

Countries outside the Vale
-Galemoor, to the south, a large state that borders the ocean, complete with a stupendous amount of sailors and fishermen. Usually armed to the teeth and fast talkers, with the military being made up of a combination of cavalry and reformed bandits.
-Del Stalliga, to the south. A city-state in the style of the countries inside the Vale, the small country is located between the giant Stugmarr and Galemoor, providing a buffer between the two that is welcomed by many. Uses light cavalry as a mainstay of the troops.
-Stugmarr, to the south-east, a giant country that has been present since the Vale's founding. Is in a constant cold war with The Empire of Rak'Thurr
-Fellhark, to the north. A harsh and rainy land that covers the cliffs to the north of the Vale, filled with the barest minimum of a goverment and controlled by a variety of hardy tribes.
-The Empire of Rak'Thurr, to the north-east. Another giant that controls the rich plains above the Vale, is in a constant cold war with Stugmarr.

Looks good.
If you have any suggestions for the name or any specfics that you want for the invaded nation aside from a strong flier core, I'd be open to listen.

Speaking of which, I've got a sort of profile for our lovely evil nation, which I'll add to as needed.

Vinsenia: Originally one of five smaller than average countries located in in close proximity of each other, all of them in a very mountainous region of the near the mid west of the continent. It is located in an area especially rich with metals, mostly iron and silver, which are used to arm the exceptionally defensive forces that are stationed in the forts and castle that mark the edges of Vinsenian territory. Most of the working class are merchants and metalworkers, importing much of their foodstuff from their more agricultural neighbors. Until recently, the kingdom had almost no impact in any of the continent's affairs.
Vinsenia's army usually consisted of a large array of heavily armored infantry and archers, with horses being rather useless in the mountains. Spellcasters like mages were considered a rarity and usually were kept in the king's personal guard. Healers, however, while uncommon, were deployed with the standing army.
However, with the ascent of the new king and the absorption of the surrounding nations, the new army has swelled immensely. The largest part and standing force are still the heavy infantry and archers, but the acquisition of new commanders and forces have added a large number of horsemen(Mostly Cavaliers->Great Knights), quite a few fliers(with the vast majority being Wyvern riders), and quite a few addtional forces from various sources(Mages, Fighters, Mercenaries, and Myrmidons)
The usual emblem of a Vinsenian force is a stylized dragon coiling around a sword that points down, painted in white on black.

Other information about Vinsenia: Silver Dragon Knights are an elite unit of the heavy infantry.
The dragon motif is most likely due to the rumor that manaketes or Dragon Laguz once made their home in the mountains.
One of the only two countries in the mountains that holds a legendary item(That is known publicly): The Sword of Kings.

All that's been set in stone thus far is the fact that there's an so-called evil nation, although via some brainstorming I've come up with what I feel is a suitable backstory.

Said evil nation is a bit smaller than average, being just one of five nations that are surrounded by a single mountian range. This nation's(For now, let's call it something rather bland, like Vinsenia) one claim to fame is that it holds onto a single item of near-mythic status, an enchanted blade akin to one of the many legends that are scattered around the FE universe. However, the reason that this blade stands out from any others is that it was supposed to glow with rippling power when one who was 'suited to be king' held it.

Needless to say, a new king emerges who can make the sword glow brighter than it has in generations, after the death of the old king and the rumors that the rest of the royal family has stepped aside. He immediately sets out to annex the neighboring countries, and does so with almost ridiculous timing and precision, causing many of the greater nations to suddenly take an interest in this new threat to global balance. Thus, the PC group are hired by a village that's in the bath of Vinsenia's progress to defend them against the rising influx of bandits that flee the marching army.

I kind of forgot that silver weapons are actually a thing in Fire Emblem, was just thinking for roleplaying purposes instead of actually having it be more effective in combat or whatever. Also, it is tarnished. I just like the idea of at one point being decked out in full shining silver, and now has fallen so low as to not even care to upkeep his equipment.Additionally, he wasn't the leader or anything, and he was already a squire before becoming a recruit, after all, he was recruited right out of the military. I simply mean that after 2 years he had proven himself enough to have gained acceptance and use of the regalia, effectively a full member. Perhaps this rapid rise through the ranks was part of the reason he fell so far and so hard.

That makes sense, thanks for the clarification. Perhaps it could be the equivalent of a steel blade or something of the sort, due to its tarnished nature? Anyway, I'll be sure to start working on the backstory for the so-called evil nation.

So, I'd like to bring this idea up again. I made the mention in the Interest Check, but since we now have a new person running the show, I feel it's only fair to ask again. A while back I got into one RP and had a Pegasus Archer. Since then, the idea has really grown on me. Would a custom class like that be okay?

Vincanity said
Got bored. Here ya go.

Well, here's what I suggest we do. Vincanity's spreadsheet does offer a wide varity of classes(And bring back the distinction between Light, Dark, and Anima magics), including your desired pegasus archer. Therefore, I'm quite happy to just use the spreadsheet as the base for selecting classes, and make additions if they need to be worked into the plot somehow.

Need to sleep for work but getting a few bits up. Also, sent you a pm tentaclelord, in case you hadn't seen t yet. There not exactly notifying lol

I saw, and I'll respond to your inquiry here. As stated before, I'm open to a Co-GM. Therefore, shoot me some ideas or post them up here for the story, and I'll just select a Co-GM that way.

Name: Hark

Just a few minor flaws in your CS, namely in background and weapon choice. Simply put, he's a tier-one sword knight, correct? As a tier-one, having both the skill and access to silver weapons is a bit OP. As for the the Silver Dragon Knights, I have no problem with this existing, but as a simple knight, wouldn't he be more like an apprentice or squire rather than a full member?

Other than that, no problems thus far.

So she's just a general, class-wise?

I'm just gonna wrap up what seems to be the storyline thus far, be sure to inform me if you guys have any issues with it personally:

The PC hero group will consist of a group of mercenary types, and somehow(Be it by getting hired to defend a village, or run into bandits on the road) get involved(Again, be it by battle or hiring) with the increasingly militant actions of a once rather quiet nation that has just come under the control of a new king.

This could accommodate much of the dishonored or exiled-type characters, and opens the way for up and coming heroes who joined the mercs because of the reputation for honorable and just work.

I've taken parts of the original character sheet and simplified it a bit, before adding some things that I liked about Vincanity's former FE RP. This, while not the final iteration of the CS, is close enough so that you can fill it out(Minus, perhaps, the bio for names and places) without worrying about sudden changes down the line.

Gotta be honest, I'm not a big fan of basing things on stats, if only because it invites dick-waving between players on how their character is better and such. Characters are distinguishable enough through classes already, and adding stats would just muddle things up.

I agree with Pskyer on this, classes are a much better system for characters than stats if we're not doing a tabletop-type roleplay.

PURRfect93 said
i understand where your coming from, but its also the stats that help make the classes :O im trying to make the stats into a explanatory system rather than for actual combat/roleplay(?) use :Oedit: classes would also have their limitations on their stats of course :O

What I meant with the basic stats for classes was this: The reason I wanted people to look at the stats on the website was to get a basic idea of how their class would play, not to have them inserted into the character creation proper.

Nerendier said
Well as long as I get to play my dishonored and exiled knight from a powerful foreign nation I'm okay with whatever.Edit: I'd also like that nation to be the now evil/invading nation if possible.

Anything is possible with the power of character creation~!

Weeeellll..... I've been thinking and mahaps I shall try out for co-gm if our newly appointed gm is in need of one. Also, on a side thought, I was thinking that to help balance out characters and combats we could set up stats befitting our classes. The exception would be that skill would be represent weapon rank instead 0:Do you guys think that would work out? .e.

I'm up for a co-GM, but I figured that says could be something that's more of a guideline for how your selected class would fight. For example, despite both using swords, a hero and a swordmaster would fight totally differently.

In other words, looking up average stats for your desired class would tell you what kind and how you'd wield a desired weapon.

Fire Emblem RP

I personally like that sort of scenario, as I have a good idea of the antagonistic force's motives. Other than that, one of the ideas for the original GM was the inclusion of the Laguz, rather than Manaketes and Taguel, correct? If that's the case, that opens up the possibility for fanatical racism to be a driving motive on either side.
