[OOC] Fire Emblem: A Blinding Light

[71342]

LOOK AT ALL THE SHINY NEW CHARS!!

@ruler710 There are three more people that said that they were interested that I am waiting for.

And yes, I probably said that in a way that I shouldn't. Haha.

In the meantime, where do you all want to start so I can place you~? XD

@PlatinumSkink

Meheheh I'm still looking for a character I could tie my character's backstory to :|, depending on that he will either be in the throne room with his friend or outside in the second scenario.

Worst come to worst, I'll have him follow the trend right now as far as backstories go. My intention was for him to help guard the emblem but without a good reason he'd probably be outside where furry old men belong. :}.

<Snipped quote by PlatinumSkink>
This is one of those times where I truly wish I was able to see the future. If I'd known we would have any trouble with people playing a Lord of Grado, then I would've made one - but then again, my own issue is that I don't feel I'm active enough to accept that role. I'm gone for many hours per day, and it's very possible I might come home not willing to write anything. But goddammit, if there's anything I truly despise, it's leaving unsolved problems like that around while I could've still made a difference in that.

/end rant

@Penultimate_Pi

Yea it does seem like a weird problem. I dunno if we really need a lord I could class change. It would require some CS editing or something. If it's really needed. If not we can just come up with a reason, and maybe allow class changes so someone could be a lord later.(Marwood is fairly close.)

[Apollosarcher]

I'd be willing to if you all feel it's alright. I mean I'm royalty from Renais but I'd be happy to if that's the vote.

@Apollosarcher

Wait, your character is already royalty from Grado? My eyes decieve me! I thought he was from Renais.

Well that's almost perfect If that's already the case, I don't see why he would not be tasked to helter skelter away with the stone. He's a cavalier too. That horse is going to count for something.

@71342

...He is from Renais. According to his sheet, anyway.

Of course, that being said, it might not be so amiss for Grado to trust a prince of Renais with the Fire Emblem, given the nations' close history as allies. Maybe we could have Fire Emblem's first non-promoted mounted lord?

[Apollosarcher]

@Penultimate_Pi fixed my statement, I should get some sleep but maybe. Up to the GM.

[PlatinumSkink]

@DAWNSTAR Yepp, that checks out nicely. Teh-heh, compare you guys to Morag who I intended to be the first boss. That guy is going to get ------ed. Thanks for joining~ Now, then. I do feel I need to ask, where do you intend to start in all of this? Anyways, Narina is accepted~

@Eklispe Oh, wow. Taking the long route, I see. Tihi. Well, that is entirely fine. ... Being a vegetarian in fantasy middle-ages times... I wonder how that works out? Alright, shall I assume that she got that job in the end of the sheet? So she'll probably be in the throne room when we start, then, or did you have something else in mind? In any case, Arathyra is accepted~

Giving the Fire Emblem to the prince of Renais does work. Maybe he even could slip by Jehanna's troops without trouble. That would explain why the more easily identifiable people from Grado were not allowed to join him.

In any case, I'll send a PM to the last guy asking how it is going~

[Apollosarcher]

Hurray, the prince is going to be useful... I'll try not rush ahead and get him killed by overwhelming combat.

[71342]

@EklispeThat would explain why the more easily identifiable people from Grado were not allowed to join him.

@PlatinumSkink

Excellent. Screw having friends, I have obscurity on my side! That's good enough reason I can use to why he's in the throne room. :)

I'm going to sound like a nerd for saying this but according to "Japanology", most japanese that lived inland were vegetarians up until the western introduced them to eating meat! It might have been slightly religious, most were buddhists, but mostly they just didn't know how to rear animals in farms and meat was rare (not to mention, expensive). Just random trivia I thought would be nice to share.

Also, vegetarian in real life. :>.

[Penultimate_Pi]

...Oh, right, I should say where I'm going to start.

Well, assuming Nero is in the throne room, Griswal would be standing opposite to him. If Nero isn't in the throne room, then Griswal would be off to one side behind Marwood.

[Nightmare Bunny]

I would assume Calico would be doing something... serving girl-ish? Maybe bringing Rioga and the visiting foreign prince drinks, or something...

[PlatinumSkink]

Oh, wow. I am assumed to use these two custom sprites you two, then? Hahaha. Alright, then.

And completely other random news, since we now have a female faithful, here's a female faithful sprite, made by combining the female civilian sprite with a staff.

[Draconfound]

Habit has multiple women to hit on now. His life is complete :P
And as to where he would start on the map, probably near treasure

[PlatinumSkink]

@Draconfound All treasure on the map is pretty much guarded by some form of Grado troops. Wasn't he after the Fire Emblem? XD
... Yeah, I may have filled this map up too thickly. Hm, if I remember Archibald was to show up on the top right and run left-wards, so that doesn't quite work... ... ... Do remember, enemies in Fire Emblem famously ignore all thieves, so you can be, like, hiding to the left of those three chests confirming that the door is REALLY well-guarded. ... Or you've found a secret-passway and is currently inside that unreachable room in the middle and can at any time jump out of it if you feel like, the Druid to your right not having noticed a thing.

And don't forget you'll probably get an amount of vulnerable NPCs he can hit on as much as he likes, haha...

@Harbringer You mention two companions which you'd randomly be bringing, that you'd then be leaving. ... What classes would these be? Or should I decide that? Perhaps I should even give them character? Haha.

@PlatinumSkink

Habit can be anywhere. He might be everywhere at once, and nobody would ever know :P

[Harbringer]

Both would probably be bandits

[71342]

That are actually very girly men.

[Harbringer]

Shirtless very girly men holding axes.

Edit: Want me to make those trading cards?

[PlatinumSkink]

Alright, I have updated the map in the IC for the moment.

@Eklispe, I went and assumed you got that job, so I took the liberty of placing you in the throne room. Inform me if you had other plans.

@71342 and @DAWNSTAR, I am still unsure where exactly you want me to place you, so you're currently not on any map. Do inform me of your thoughts.

@Harbringer I didn't know when I made the image, so I made them a Thief and a Fighter. I can make them Brigands when I update it to include the missing characters.

Edit: If you want to. Tihi. It would be appreciated. Hm, should I put them in the post as well? Haha.

@Draconfound You're standing on top of a wall. Have fun.

And the prince, the mercenary and the knight is standing in the Throne Room as needed. As is the sha- *cough* serving girl. Mercenary beside his master, knight opposite his superior, prince was making some kind of report I recalled and the rest, uh, a bit to the side. If there are any problems, tell me and I'll take care of it.

... Hold on. Opposite... ... ... Uh... Did I read "opposite" the wrong direction, Pen?

[DAWNSTAR]

Hmm, Narina can be placed somewhere in the right hallway. I don't really mind where but it is likely she would be close to the throne room.
