[@Karkinos] I'm really diggin' Afra. Dragons themselves are a bit over-powered, but that's the thing, their dragons. So I think it should be fine once we start getting into combat and whatnot because then we'll see if you play that over-poweredness or if you tone it down because no one likes a person who is too OP. The only thing that I have an issue with is her backstory leading up to her wanting to join the Desert Hare. There's a lot of politics involved in her backstory, from having the Dragon laguz send a diplomat into Daein, and a prince nonetheless, to him being assassinated, that would cause a [b]HUGE[/b] and I mean [b]HUGE[/b] uproar and would/could be something that would make the plot of everyone trying to get to Hatari overshadowed because nationwide war > traveling to Hatari imo. I think if her story wasn't that drastic, then it would be okay. I don't see laguz sending out diplomats to beorc nations, I mean even Gallia and Crimea didn't have [i]that[/i] good of a relationship and they were pretty chummy. I'm sure we or you can come up with something that can still bring Afra to Daein and then pivot her to the Desert Hare. [@Garet] You could possibly apply with both of them. And yeah, compasses and telescopes are a thing!
