[center]..,Placeholder for Header...[/center] [indent][indent][b]GM Notes:[/b] This is a roleplay between myself, [@Dynamo Frokane] , [@BurningDaisies] and [@Grey] though I may accept one other person, it's unlikely as I'd prefer things to stay fairly compact. [b]RP Premise:[/b] Two kingdoms are at war with one another for have been for roughly seven years. Even so, not many can recall what actually broke the peace. Both kingdoms are powerful and have plenty of allies. And both kingdoms have folks who want to rebel and fight for the opposing side, for whatever reason. Unrest is an everyday feeling and many cities and towns are becoming new battlegrounds for the two kingdoms and their armies. After fighting for so long, the lands are becoming wastelands. Food is becoming scarce and so is the once flourishing population of the landmass. Enter a group who knows where the true enemy lies. This group has been recently formed with some from both kingdoms. This group is led by a mysterious set of twins who claim the real enemy is the demon controlling the two rulers of each kingdom. These two twins have seen such destruction before and want to help bring peace to the land before all hope is truly lost. Together, they've convinced only a handful of people to fight for the innocent and to bring down the invisible hands which control the two kingdoms' fate. We will be starting with our characters already companions. How your character was convinced is up to you. If your character comes with a sibling, retainer, servant, pet, etc, that is fine but you must include another sheet for it as well. I will be the two twins who hail from another world where the two demons have already ruined with their eternal rivalry. Our group will have a sanctuary where we will go to regroup, tend to our wounds, etc. As a note, there will be slice of life and action. There will also be a lot of travel and saving people, so don't go into this thinking it's all action or it's going to be boring. We should have a mix, ideally. Hoshido will be a lively kingdom full of life and energy. Nohr will be a strict kingdom, will tough defenses. Both kingdoms are full of pride and tricky fighters. Since the four of us have knowledge of FE: Fates, I will no go into depth regarding the politics. However I will stress that unlike in Fates, supplies, food, morale and patience will be a lot more scarce. People are getting more desperate and bloodthirsty. Lots of lives have been lost in the fights that have broken out across the border between Hoshido and Nohr. [b]World Map:[/b] Below is our map with labels. Please refer to it as needed. It is a large picture. [center][hider=Map][img]https://serenesforest.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/fates-map-all.jpg[/img][/hider][/center] [b]Quests:[/b] Throughout our journey there will be optional quests to gain money, items and food. I will have a separate hider for when we're ready. [b]Inventory:[/b] We will be using a very slim inventory system. Things like clothes won't be counted but it is a means to ensure a character doesn't magically have everything they need. If their sword breaks, they can't pull a new one out of thin air. If they're hurt and a healer isn't around, they either suffer or keep supplies on hand. I won't be strict with it and demand it be updated at all times, but the main six characters will need to use an inventory due to the land's current state. [b]Characters:[/b] I will be making us character banners for our major six characters, as such I would like you guys to try and find high quality pictures. By that I mean the pictures should be medium/large in size, lack any pixels, shouldn't be sketched or hand drawn etc. Below is a sheet which BD and I have tweaked together. In the personality section list three positive traits and one negative. In the Hopes/Fears list two for each. In the Talents/Shortcomings list two for each as well, not pertaining to combat.

Our large cast should find romance, find heartache and find friendly rivalries. Should romance blossom, please take it to PMs but totally fill us in back here if anything DID happen. I don't really want offspring to happen though, so let's all pretend our characters have plenty of contraceptives in this war torn land. [b]Posting Expectations:[/b] We all have lives outside of the Guild. As such I don't need us to be spamming posts every day, that said I would love it if each person could manage at least one post every 7-10 days. I would also like it if our posts looked uniform so I will be giving a code for posts before we begin. Post size should be around 4-6 paragraphs for a major role. Any minor/side roles can have as much or as little attention as the writer decides. [b]Starting Point:[/b] As mentioned above, we will be starting with our characters having recently joined forces. Since I will be playing both outside twins, we will need to discuss how mine convinced yours to take a risk. That said our group will have just recently escaped a scuffled between both Hoshido and Nohr armies due to the two royal siblings having seemed to have betrayed their own blood.[/indent][/indent]
