Great to see we already have players drawing up characters for this! Before we go any further, however, there are a couple things we neglected to mention in the top post:

[b]Firstly[/b], where our player characters fit within the plot: the players would all be involved in or traveling with a sort of mercenary band that happens to get caught up in the conflict over the hunt for the Fire Emblem. Whether you decide to fight back against the encroaching army, or attempt to flee and fend for yourselves, this band will ultimately orchestrate a turning point in the new war. This is the primary idea, but it is subject to change before the RP launches proper, if enough players agree to a new idea.

[b]Secondly[/b], for plot reasons, we will only be accepting one (1!) character whom is a Manakete with a Dragonstone. After this character is reserved and made, any other Manakete characters that players choose to make cannot possess a Dragonstone (though they are still able to wield them should they ever find one or borrow one). In addition, if you are creating a Manakete character, please PM one of our current planners ([@Penultimate_Pi] and [@Corporal Lance]), as it will be necessary in order to explain what Manaketes are even doing in the human world and to create a biography that reflects that.

[b]Thirdly[/b], to answer a question from [@Crimson Raven], multiple characters will be allowed if you so choose. However, each player should only start with one character; all secondary characters will be introduced and recruited to the party as progress is made through the RP, in true Fire Emblem fashion. This acts not only as a way of providing more buildup and power to the RP as it progresses, but can justify a character being a more powerful class if they join much later on. (Do note that 'promoted' level characters who join before everyone else would promote will NOT receive a promotion.)

[b]Fourthly[/b], finally, and unrelated to the above: [@Eisenhorn], your appearance picture isn't working. Try uploading to Imgur.
