Fire Emblem - The Crisis of Akaneia

[vancexentan]

It has been three years since the holy war brought forth by the father of Emmeyn, The Exalt King Norman of the Kingdom of Ylisse, came to an end and the countries of Ylisse and Plegia begin the slow process of rehabilitation. King Norman was killed by a enemy sniper named Kyle whom was a renown hero among the Plegian faithful. What happened to the man is unknown but his actions were what would cause the war to come to an end. Emmeryn, at the beckoning of her advisers and her great uncle General Neal of Ylisse, decided to open up peace talks with the exhausted Plegians and managed to dictate a state of peace between the two nations. While Ylisse pulled back it's armies from the withered husk called Plegia, Emmeryn would work to restore peace in the nation and most of her people blame her unjustly for Norman's religious zeal that spurred him to war. The people have been drastically reduced in number as many did not come home from the campaign unleashed by the late Exalt. However thanks to contacts in Regna Ferox they are starting to rebuild and life is starting to return to some shambled state of order despite the brigands whom travel from place to place to pillage the commoners. Plegia would be divided into four different nations all claiming to be the true Plegia however they are no currently in the midst of fighting one another more so they are trying to rebuild properly after losing so many people too the war. Plegia's people suffer from food shortages and lack of clean water but due to the merchant princes of Valm they are able to negotiate contracts to keep their dying economy stable. Regna Ferox itself has been under the control of Khan Nicholas whom rules it with a firm but progressive fist from his castle in the middle of Ferox. He keep the lords in check and bandits are a rare sight in the land as Ferox has made a large profit from staying neutral or selling themselves off as soldiers in the war. They are in no hurry to annex the broken lands of Plegia and Ylisse and are content to quarrel among themselves as they tend to. It is now where our story takes place. In the country of Ylisse a harvest festival is happening just south of the capital of the kingdom. Many peasants are gathering here to forget the hardships of the years gone by and look forward to an new tomorrow. It was by the grace of Emmeryn that this festival was made and she insists that all those who can make it should do so but she will not be able to come herself stating that the land is too unstable to leave the capital. The city in which we make our start possible is a rather fairly sized city one cannot call it huge not small but it's population is a friendly group and much to the surprise of the locals the festival has attracted many people and different groups including a group of traveling monks and circus performers. However despite all of this there is still the underlying notion that the world is still not completely at peace... === For a basic summerization about what is going to happen in this roleplay is we're going to be playing a group of adventurers, knights, or vagrants (whom may or may not know each other) whom will be thrown together into a plot bigger (no spoilers from awakening no worries as the big bads in this won't be active) than ourselves. There will be more than one bad guy but for details one will be based around religion, and another based around power. If you want more information than this please send me a private message and I will give you the information assuming it is not too spoiler filled. We will be going from place to place seeing new characters and maybe a couple of the canon cast but that will be up for you guys to decide. The land is recovering from the war still but things are coming along. === 1. All general rules apply to this roleplay. God modding, meta playing, and other things of the sort are greatly frowned upon. 2. I am the GM and what I say goes. I talk softly and carry a big stick and I will use it if needed. 3. Custom Classes are not going to be a part of this roleplay due to problems with them in other roleplays. however to make up for this classes from previous series will allowed with some exclusions. Class such as the monk, mage knight, and shaman will be allowed. To reiterate You can be almost any class, including ones not from awakening with the acception of laguz and other such creatures, you desire that aren't exclusive to specific characters with the acception of the lord class. Note being a lord doesn't make you a main character. 4. You can't be canon character or an offspring of one without my go ahead. 5. I will hold it against you if you leave this roleplay without informing me. Please inform the roleplayers in the OOC that you are no longer interested if you choose to leave this roleplay. Nothing is worse than a guy or girl who ups and leaves without saying so. 6. You are allowed up to three characters no more three is a fair number. Also there will only be two of one class allowed to prevent an overabundance of one class. ===

I always love a good Fire Emblem RP. Totally interested. I call a Myrmidon/Swordmaster.

[vancexentan]

You'd start at Myrmidon (unless we get no Jegan dude in case you'd be free to make a swordsmaster)but thanks for the interest I'd like three people at the least before making this roleplay. For those unaware I will be playing three characters myself. A mercenary, a myrmidon (Taking the last spot for that class), and a Cleric. They were made before this interest check for another site.

[Constantine]

Interested as well, though I cant give a 100% postive response as to classes and character number. Probably a mounted melee and non mounted magic class.

[vancexentan]

So basically a cavalier and a mage?

[Constantine]

Most likely yes.

[vancexentan]

For the mage is it a traditional mage? Monk? Shaman? Plegia Dark Mage? Just trying to get an idea on what I could do to help with your people.

[FantasyDreams]

May I add a Wind Mage to my character list? I've been thinking and I have some ideas for brains and brawn duo.

[vancexentan]

Well a wind mage would be just that a mage so I have no problem with you being a mage. Wind would just be your sig magic like lightning is too robin.

[FantasyDreams]

In Radiant Dawn there's an actual Wind Mage class, that's what I was thinking of using. So there could be more mages than just two. Since mages are pretty popular. But if that's not what you want, normal Mage who specializes in wind magic it fine too.

[vancexentan]

I don't see any issues with a wind mage other than it being horridly one sided in terms of powers. You'd be really good against fighters in the air but armor units may be a bane. I'd go with a normal mage personally but if you really want to go with a wind mage I wouldn't mind it.

[FantasyDreams]

Yeah, I guess both my guys would be terrible against armored units. It might be better to go with a normal Mage when specializes in wind magic and give myself a more balanced team.

[vancexentan]

It's up to you at the end of the day. Assuming Constaine does join us we will need one more person.

[FantasyDreams]

I guess I'll go with a Myrmidon, and a Mage who specializes in wind magic then. ^ ^ Cool, can't wait to get this started!

[vancexentan]

If I may make a suggestion why not go with a knight and have a mage so you could have the big guy little guy thing going on?

[FantasyDreams]

That would be fun! But Myrmidon is my absolute favorite class so I'd like to use that. I could maybe add in a knight and have a trio, I'm totally fine with playing three characters. I don't know how many people we'll have for this anyway so the more characters the better.

[vancexentan]

Well again it's all up to you considering my trio will be made up of The Big Guy/Leader: Jiro The Fast Guy/Lancer: Zaku The Healer/Heart: Isabelle Zaku and Jiro will be abnormally skilled in their particular areas but that is mostly due to the fact that both of them are vaike like in their builds. Zaku despises the use of magic and has no natural talent for it at all. Plus his lack of strength. He has made up for that by being extremely fast, precise, and deadly. Jiro has a insignificantly small amount of untapped magical talent but he has never used it nor will he likely ever will being more based around his sword and ungodly strong power attacks. What he lacks in speed, luck, and magic he makes up for by being a monstrous force of nature essentially a tank.

[GrandzHelios]

Sounds interesting. I may go for a pegasus knight. Also if we did make a Lord then do we have to be rich or could we be a peasant?

[FantasyDreams]

I'll just stick with the Myrmidon and the Mage.

[vancexentan]

You need to at least be in a noble family that has some standing in Ylisse, Ferox, Valm, or the shattered remains of Plegia.
