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

Branna Naves

---

^{Town Edge || Lothian Empire: Garleton || Noon}

Branna poked a finger through the hole in the wing in front of her, then tugged lightly. The wyvern jerked, rearing back and flapping his wings with a snort, the wind stirred up by the motion ruffling Branna’s hair as she laughed. Coming out in scratchy cuts punctuated by silence when her vocal cords struggled to make ends meet, the sound was a mixture of hoarse and croaky before it dissipated into the air at the edge of town. Getting to her feet, she stroked the wyvern’s flank, admiring his iridescent armor. Movement to her left drew her eyes, and she looked over with a smile, waving at the two passing squires, who quickened their pace down the path. Then, turning back to her wyvern, who’d lowered his head so that he was eye-level with her, she headbutted him, then patted his cheek. “Later, Mors,” she croaked, waving as she walked towards the town. The wyvern shook his limbs out, then took off running, his bounds giving enough lift to boost him up when he opened up his wings. Into the air he went, veering towards the nearby forest as Branna continued into town, a smile on her lips. With the sun high in the sky, the busiest place in town was the plaza, given that the marketplace was situated near there. On one side, people bustled through makeshift stalls as shopkeeps shouted out their wares. On the other was a milling crowd out of which music spilled, and Branna walked towards the song. At the center of the crowd she found a performance going on: A minstrel plucked at his lute as a richly-robed girl danced before the crowd, brandishing a pair of flower-emblazoned fans. Despite the fast pace of the music and the size of the girl’s robe, the girl’s movements maintained an aura of elegance as she moved, and Branna paused at the edge of the circle to watch, her eyes drifting over the others there. It was a mismatched crowd of people, both villagers and travellers within, judging by the number of children and weapons present. Soon enough, though, Branna found the most solemn person there: Behind the dancer was a boy with a spear, who stood off to the side only enough to remain somewhat inconspicuous. His eyes were fixated on the dancing girl, but they quickly darted to the side when the crowd around him shifted, and Branna traced his eyes to a child being lifted by her father. As she was standing across from the child in the crowd, it didn’t take much time for the girl to notice Branna on the other side of the dancer, and when she did Branna raised a hand to wiggle her fingers. ‘Boo,’ she mouthed. The girl’s eyes widened, her small hands gripping for her father’s, and Branna’s grin stretched wider.

Pebble “Pebs” Meyers

^{@Alamantus@Vertigo}

“Ready,” Pebs said, swapping the truck for the C-type battery in her bag, which she tucked into her pocket instead before zipping up her backpack. Then, whipping out her phone and turning on the flashlight function, she nodded, walking towards the door.

“Phone ready, let’s do this.”

The door unlocked easily, opening up into a hallway with a blue rug. There wasn’t much to see by their phone’s light other than a table some distance down, and Pebs’ eyes quickly caught on the light switch near the door.

“Light,” she said, walking over and flipping the switch.

Pokémon: Start

Eryn Montero

---

^{Route 5 || Day 3: Night || @PlatinumSkink}

“Eryn,” Eryn supplied with a grn when Laurel paused. “And this is Eri. Nice to meet you all!”

Eryn waved, and Eri did the same. Since Eryn’s talk with her Zorua would probably happen later that night, she figured it wouldn’t hurt to let people stay confused for a bit longer. After all, it was pretty amusing to see the gears turning in their heads as they tried to piece together nonexistent puzzle pieces.

With introductions over, onto the ship they went, and it was there that Zak and Laurel revealed their true colors. It was pretty clear from the get-go that Eryn was the newest person to the routine, but she hadn’t been able to figure out how new she was until her fellow patrollers whipped out their Pokemon of choice. While she’d been pretty sure that Laurel was more experienced than her, since he’d acted like some de facto team captain, she was surprised to find that Zak was as experienced as he was as well. His goals were sweet, with his Pidgeys, but she couldn’t help but wonder if his birds would be as useful at night as they would in the day.

Unfortunately, though, her most valuable team member was a secret, so trying to prove that she would also be able to contribute seemed like a bad idea. Eri was someone who felt more comfortable in another’s skin, and Eryn didn’t want to take that away from him, especially when he was in a new environment where even Eryn wasn’t fully comfortable. So, in this case, she felt it was more prudent to just let him do his thing.

“Wow, Cutiecruel is pretty awesome,” Eryn said, eyes wide as she leaned over the edge of the boat to watch the Tentacruel fade into the depths. Kylie joined her at the boat’s edge, prompting her to look over at her twin. “Eri, you getting this?”

With a nod, Eri walked over, looking over the edge as well. Though Eryn wasn’t sure of the versatility of having him fake water-types, given that the illusion didn’t lend him the ability to swim or breathe underwater, she figured it couldn’t hurt to have a Pokemon who could look like a Tentacruel for a few seconds sometimes.

The novelty of the new Pokemon quickly wore off, given that the more interesting two were underwater and therefore not quite visible. Besides having Kylie Fairy Wind the few Carvanha that leaked through the Seadra and Tentacruel, there wasn’t much to be done, which Laurel voice aloud soon enough.

Eryn laughed. “I’d say fingers crossed something comes up, but in this case probably not.”

She paused, glancing out over the lake at the other lights that roamed it. While she’d known that the lake was large enough to have multiple patrols out at once, it seemed like she’d underestimated the sheer number of resources at the Lakewatcher’s disposal. It was comforting, though, to know that the rare Pokemon of the lake were protected from smugglers and trappers. That there were as many people dedicated to the safety of Pokemon as she’d seen was reassuring for the future of such environments.

“Say, Laurel, I met someone who said they’d bought a Gible. From, er, somewhere in town, actually. The city underbellies or something?” Eryn shrugged. “Do you know anything about that? How are people managing to get through despite everything the Lakewatchers are doing?”

The discussion went on for a bit, Eryn filling up the time with either questions about his Seadra or about the Lakewatcher’s operations. When they reached a wall with those conversations, she moved on to trying to get Lin to open up because—since Zak was an easy read and she’d already grilled Laurel—there was only one other person left for her to chat with. Besides, Lin seemed like an experienced trainer, if Cutiecruel’s presence said anything, and Eryn figured she may as well ask where the sleep-seeking trainer had been to catch her trusty water-type.

Sometime during the conversation, though, something unexpected happened: The egg in Eryn’s arms shook. It took her a few seconds to process what was happening, to connect the dots she didn’t think she needed to connect for a few days, but surprise quickly morphed into alarm, then fear.

“Arceus, Lin, could you—could you get Cutiecruel to take me to shore? This egg is hatching and it’s, damn it, it’s an Onix,” she said, shooting to her feet and whirling on Lin. “Throw me if you have to, but the Onix is going to sink this boat if I stay here.”

Actions

Actions:
Talked to the trainers with her to pass the time before her egg started hatching. Then, given the situation, Eryn requests that she get to shore as fast as possible. Whatever it takes.

Also, I updated all the below information already and don’t really feel like deleting until my next post, so like… just ignore it until the egg hatches!

Branna Naves, the Laughing Raven

Branna Naves

---

---

Female | 19 | Astral

Appearance:

With a pale complexion that starkly contrasts her angular features and dark hair, Branna’s careless manner and haphazardly cut bangs speak for her in terms of personality, as does the poorly-timed smile that hangs on her lips. Given her tall, lean stature and her scuffs on skin and cloth, she easily passes for older than she is. Her closet is an untidy array of mismatched pieces she throws on in pieces of two or three, dark and simple enough to have been handmade if the situation so required it. Since she hails from the frigid cold, she doesn’t react to temperatures above chilly, and whether or not she minds the heat is uncertain. What is certain, though, is that she’s been through a few ordeals, and she has a loose eyepatch and a scratchy voice to show for it. Her tattered voicebox lends her a throaty laugh that’s hardly pleasant on the ears, and it gives her giggles and musings an uncanny edge that she enjoys watching others’ reactions to.

Background:

Branna was a wanderer of the streets before she was anything else. Though the capital of Dinas Afaraon was a self-sufficient fortress, the nation’s lesser cities and slums still held their fair share of strife, and Branna remembers nothing but cold and hunger from her early days. Working odd jobs didn’t yield good wages, but they were livable, and someone had to work them, so through mines and tanneries she went, her life a mix of smoke and dust.

It was sometime between her time in the hazy black that Branna came into possession of a wyvern egg, and despite the grievous injuries that came with procuring and raising the hatchling, Branna emerged with a beast that was able to keep her belly full and her coin pouch jingling. Given that wyverns were difficult to retrain if they’d imprinted and hard to kill for the average person, Branna was able to begin life as a travelling mercenary, using her wyvern’s wings to help her stay with the flow of coin.

Personality:

Branna smiles and laughs, enjoys both the rabble and the quiet, though often for the wrong reasons. With a penchant for needling others and revelling in their discomfort, she’s a tad more manipulative and moralless than most. Whether or not that bothers others, though, doesn’t matter much to her. For her, the most important thing is keeping her coin purse full enough to sustain her and her wyvern until the next job, and anything beyond that is a bonus.

@Sho Minazuki gotcha, alright, I'll change that and post it in the CS section

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

@Sho Minazuki Changed to:

When Brana’s health is not full, she gets +1 SPD and LCK. At critical health, this increases to +3 SPD and LCK.

How's it look?

@Sho Minazuki

—Branna—

I'll keep a running track in my posts for inventory and exp, but otherwise how's everything else look?

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

@Sho Minazuki Interested as well, probably going with a Wyvern rider/flier.
