[OOC] Fire Emblem: Weight of the World

[Leos Klien]

*gasps* A Fire emblem roleplay! And it's full?!
Life is a cruel mistress...

[Marlowe]

@Leos Klien Since it's running a little slow atm, I think we can allow room for one more. Right guys?

[Redneckatron]

I wouldn't mind, especially since I'm one of the slow ones *cry*. I'm doing my best to keep up so please forgive any slowness of mine, I'm depending on @LordVoldemort to remind me until I'm not so crammed with college things.

[Marlowe]

@Leos Klien You have the chance to join, but you must show me what you have in mind, along with a character sheet. After I see your sheet, then I'll decide whether or not you can join.

[Zeroth]

@AmbraHow high will Icarus fly, and what will his position be relative to the party--will Rhea and Gorou be flying ahead to scout, or just cruising along while keeping a lookout from above, or what? Also, anything I should make mention of in regards to landscape, people, or anything else we'd be able to see from up there?

[Marlowe]

@Zeroth Icarus won't be flying too high, but high enough to not hinder any people on the ground. If you want to make mention of the surrounding area, then by all means go ahead!

[Leos Klien]

@AmbraYay!
Thank you very much!
I'll have a CS up within a few days ^_^

[Leos Klien]

Hey, I was thinking of doing a Captain of the imperial guard as a character, seems fitting that you've already progressed so far in the roleplay that someone of this position would want to ensure his liege is safe.

[Zeroth]

@Leos KlienI think Maize already kind of fills that role, but I'm not 100% so you might want to ask @Solace. We have a lot of sword users and not many lance or axe ones, though, and only a couple ranged units with one healer. I also don't think we have any of the super-heavy armored classes like the Armors (usually translated as just Knight, but specifically the ones that promote into Generals), and we don't have any Thieves either.

Edit: Also only two Laguz, one of whom isn't in the party yet, and the magic users thus far are just the Prince (All anima elements) and Fei (thunder) with no Light or Dark users.

[Leos Klien]

@ZerothWas planning on using the Lieutenant class, which promotes into General, always was a fan of the lances in the games.
But yeah, that's the plan I'm thinking of going with at the moment, I'll wait for the Gm or Solace to get back on that ^_^
Thanks!

[Marlowe]

@Leos Klien I think an archer or lance-user would be for the best.

[Leos Klien]

@AmbraSo its okay to got for the Guard captain that I'm going for then?
It makes him a part of the nobility is why I wanted to ask in advance.

[Kuro]

@Leos Klien We already have a few noble characters (besides the Prince, but he's royalty). I see it as no concern.

[Marlowe]

@Leos Klien Like @Zeroth said, Maize already fills that role. You may want to ask @Solace, but I would prefer if we have other types of characters.

[Kuro]

@Ambra What similarities exist besides both of them being noble? One fights with swords and axes; The other, lances. Classes are different, and Maize is a knight while @Leos Klien's character is a guard captain. Totally different professions.

[Zeroth]

@AquantheIt's not the professions/classes, it's the narrative role--@Leos Klien is asking about a Captain of the Guard, who travels with the party to protect the Prince, and as Captain would effectively be second-in-command (and given Eli's current lack of leadership ability, the de facto leader) of the group save for those Royal Knights like Rhea that are kind of between a Captain and direct bodyguard to the Prince. But Maize already does that.

Edit: Imagine if LotR had two Gandalfs, not just in terms of two wizards, but two people fulfilling the same niche in the story. Or two Gimlis/Legolas etc.

[Leos Klien]

@ZerothThat's a very appropriate observation, hmm...
I'll give it a think over and take a look at the different roles that haven't been filled yet, will still be using a lance though.
Although my intent was never to act as that, more of a bodyguard than an advisor.
To use the games as an example, Chroms Fredrick instead of the avatar.

[Marlowe]

@Leos Klien You can be a Soldier class, which promotes to a Halberdier, which is a pretty cool class imo.

[Marlowe]

@Leos Klien If you want, you can wait for the other two GMs to give their imput. But I want to tell you now, we're not looking for characters over the age of 24 (Cause there will be different parts to the rp).

[Leos Klien]

@Ambra*scribbles out the Guard captains age 45*
Yup I'll wait for the others ^_^
