I'm working on the opening post. I'm going to get us started.

@Crimson Raven So. How's it going? It's starting to reach the amount of time where I really should start potentially taking action.

...I wish there were more than 24 hours in a day, and/or I didn't need sleep.

Here it is, long overdue. Thanks for sticking with me. Oh and possible mild spoilers in the backstory.

Nation - Think you forgot the word “Woods”, heh.

Weapon Mastery - Ah, you know what? Yeah, let’s give the stones a weapon mastery thing. Sacred Stones didn’t have one, but why leave you out? Haha.

Level - 10 is high. Even higher when we consider that Manaketes don’t promote, they just continue being. Manaketes are naturally far stronger than their levels would suggest. Essentially, each Manakete level is essentially worth two human levels. I realize she’s a veteran of over a thousand years, but… gameplay reasons, ya know? Maybe she’s a bit rusty from only fighting weak foes for a while? XD

Background - The one part I have already read. Yupp, it’s fine.

Equipment - Ah, on the point of the range of the Dragonstone breath attack… It’s not quite two. Your reach is shorter than that of mages and archers. That said, it’s definitely further than a man can strike with a sword, so… 1.5? Well, we’ll keep track of it when we’re playing. Archers probably can attempt to fire from three tiles or more away, but I’ll give them serious to-hit penalties, haha…

Ability - Fine that she’s faster than the regular dragon, but fast enough to outrun a pegasus? I don’t know about that. When in human form her wings are too small, while in dragon shape she’s significantly heavier. You’re fast, sure, but fast enough to match the class which best feature is its speed? Not sure. You have so many other advantages.

I also desire you somehow mention the weakness of being a Manakete, because I can’t have you being a dragon all the time. Your dragonstone will serve as a battery, keeping your dragon-form powered. We can think of this as a natural barrier that exists in the dragonstone magic to ensure the madness of the dragon-form does not afflict the Manaketes, forcing them to stay human-shaped even when perhaps they wish otherwise. Over time, it’ll “charge up” again, but it’s to ensure you save yourself for when it matters or suffer the consequences.

Yeah. Otherwise, it’s fine. We did have that discussion about dragon-features, but we’ve decided that’s fine. I’ll await your comments on the things I’ve raised here.

Edit: @Crimson Raven ... Forgot to mention you, and mentions don't work when I edit them in. Oh, well, I'm confident you'll find this. Haha.

Level- I thought of this immediately. I'll lower it to 7. Is that acceptable?

Equipment- 1.5? Okay. I'll keep in mind that it's shorter then mages and archers, but longer then a sword.

Ability- Perhaps I exaggerated too much. What I mean is, her speed can challenge pegusi's. Like besides them, few things are faster than her in the air. I don't see the size of her wings in human form being an issue. WE can either say they are bigger, or just ignore the issue altogether. My thinking is that it's not entirely physics, as there are serious problems with something the size of a horse or as heavy as a dragon flying, but there is some innate magic that helps them fly. Magic she would have access too in human form. However, her 'flying' in human form would be severally limited to more of a glide, and her fire breath would be just a small flame. I had this in mind as I typed, I think I should have put it down somewhere.

Edit: Oh yeah, I was also unsure of her dragonform's size. I think I'll decease it slightly. What do you think would be a reasonable size? I'm thinking at least bigger then wyverns.

Weakness- Yeah, I can put in down. It was outlined in the OP so I thought it unnecessary, but no problem.

Edit: Oh! what if the Weapon Mastery rank denotes how long they can stay transformed? Higher the rank = more time. (In this case, I'll lower her rank to D.)

@Crimson Raven Level - ... Could you make it 5? You'll still be far stronger than those around you. Hah.

Equipment - You're currently saying it's long range, but it's not that long, but... Eh. It's fine. Heh.

Ability - Nah, she can fly freely in human form. I just examined the in-game sprites, hah, those wings can be large. Anyways, yeah. We know you're fast. That's fine.

Size - Well. Looking at the in-game sprites, it's standing on an angle to just fit into the stage. It looks to be about two adult humans tall to the tip of the back (taller if the dragon's head is raised), and twice or more that long, in addition to quite wide, and that's not even counting the wings. That is definitely larger than wyverns, even if you are a bit smaller.

Weakness - Nice.

Weapon Mastery - Sure. That's an amusing idea. We can go with that. It might mean I'll be a bit punishing towards you in the beginning, though, heh.

There we go. The roleplay has started. The IC is currently showing the main party, that I intend the rest to join soon enough.

Aldo exists to give me a mouth to give you information through. Also, all your classes will be doubled soon enough as NPCs will be joining your team, unless you go with one of those runs where you refuse to recruit anyone, I suppose. Just a reminder. I did make Eisenhorn aware of it ahead of time, and he was fine. Heh.

The Tactician's Stone is a method of me to give you the powers a player of Fire Emblem would have, even though you're actually characters in the game.

Now, then. You four. @Pirouette, @Rune_Alchemist, @Apollosarcher and @Eklispe. I realize that was a lot of time where I maybe should have given you the time to react where I didn't, but I did want to get this part over with fairly quickly. Do tell me if you object to that you'd just be standing there at any point, heh.

Don't worry about the other three. They're occupied with something else, for now, that you're just not seeing yet. Heh.

All pictures are urls to larger pictures, heh.

Tell me if you have any issues with anything I've done or whatever. Questions to let you play as you like or so. That'll do it.

Feel free to have lengthy reactions if you want. That last part can be a bit delayed, happening first when you're all are ready for it.

With that, Fire Emblem: A Blinding Light has officially started. Go for it.

@Crimson Raven I wonder, does pianos exist in the Fire Emblem world? Are they too technologically advanced? I have no idea. Oh, well. I've been told all the changes requested have been made, so...

Kara is accepted. Move her over to the character tab.

I have no idea. ^_^

I used it as an alternative image that displays her draconic features a bit better.

@Rune_Alchemist Teh-heh, I was kind of specifically thinking of Isolde there for a moment when I decided to have Aldo throw the stones to you all. XD
Anyways, yupp. Good insight in Isolde's current state as well. Well posted.

@Eklispe Yupp. This is some nice reactions. That last sentence is really good. Oh, and here's a reminder to everyone; because I need to give Titania here something to do, I will have no qualms wounding people if I see it suitable. Do keep your wits about. Haha. Nicely posted.

@Apollosarcher Yeah, nicely posted. I don't think you mentioned Fiona's name anywhere in the character sheet? That miiight be relevant if someone wants to check it, heh. Will get her an apple, heh.

Alright. My turn.

Okay. So the order you ran appeared to be first Aldo guiding the way, then Titania who ran as the rest did their talking, then Reina and Isolde who didn't write anything in particular about order, lastly Marwood took the rear. Yeah.

So, do you all prefer if the last map is in a hider or not?

@Eklispe Nicely posted, that was really fast and I didn't want to make another post so soon after the other, so, heh. Anyways. Nice. Makes me happy.

I'd like to make a mention that I do like mentions in the OOC of the current situation of the players if they at all see my reminders, even if it'd take a bit longer for the actual post. Because, well. This game needs people to post to progress. Hah.

@Eklispe Nicely posted. Using your strength for the immediate cause. Alright.

@Apollosarcher@Pirouette I'm going to start working up a post when Rune_Alchemist's day turns six days old, regardless of if you've posted or not. I'll just have you frozen in your steps or something. This can potentially be delayed if you simply mention your state in the OOC, reassuring me that you're working on something. But if I don't hear anything, I'll just go ahead.
