The Strife of Ostaria | Fire Emblem-Inspired RP [18+]

"Fortune favors the bold."

Username:
j8cob

Name:
Gael Ingram

Age:
40

Gender:
Male

Class:
Fighter

Rank:
Member

House:
Tosen

Weapons:
Imposing Axe
Steel Axe

Appearance:
Gael is a large, bulky man. He often towers over others with his lumbering frame. The scars across his muscular body serve to make him even more intimidating. Gael maintains his beard and hair, both naturally red, so as not to have a wild appearance. Even Gael's eyes are the color of red. He wears a simple brown tunic and pants, so as to remain comfortable in battle. His axes are usually carried on his back during battle but they are not kept on his person in normal situations. Outside of battle situations he is known to wear his signature red cape. His overall appearance has contributed to his well-known nickname, The Red Beast.

Personality:
Gael's appearance alone is quite intimidating, but the man himself is much less stoic than looks can lead you to believe. Talkative, sociable, and generally friendly, Gael is quick to associate with new people, granted they are also friendly. In his youth he was known to be brash, foul-mouthed, and quick to violence, but Gael has grown more calm with age. This is not to say he is devoid of anger and incapable of violence, as both can flare up when his House is in danger, especially his Lord. While not so wise as to chat philosophy, Gael does have many various quips and proverbs at his disposal to help educate his younger comrades. Never adverse to a good feast or woman, but always able to keep his wits about him. Just be sure never to get on his bad side or you'll never forget why he is called The Red Beast.

Short Biography:
The exploits of the legendary Red Beast present grandiose tall tales of his childhood, but despite what many believe Gael was not actually the son of a Dragon nor did he ever slay an entire wolf pack the day he was born. Gael was the youngest son the Ingram family, farmers who lived in the north of Sariwon. He was fit from labor in his youth, living a fairly normal peasant life for the first few years of his life. It wasn't until his family's farm was burned to the ground by brigands did Gael's life take a turn towards the extraordinary.

Young Gael, aged ten at the time, fought bravely alongside his elder brothers to defend the farm. Their father was struck down quickly and their mother couldn't possibly fight. By some miracle the boy had demonstrated an almost inhuman strength, tackling one of the bandits to the ground and pummeling him to death with his fists. In the end their father didn't survive, nor did their house. The only field that survived the fire was the radish field.

The Ingram family never fully recovered, especially financially. Debts to pay and no money began to take its toll. In order to gain some kind of income to keep their dear mother from stressing to death, all four Ingram boys joined the military of Tosen. Gael was an exceptional soldier from the start, with his hulking size and incredible strength. He quickly developed a fire within him, a violent and tenacious nature that allowed him to thrive in battle. This ferocity earned him the title of The Red Beast, and it didn't take long for rumors and tall tales to spread about him.

It didn't help that, for his own amusement, Gael never denied any of the rumors. While his brothers felt he was silly and would shoot them down, more would always spread. The Ingram brothers were successful as soldiers and able to support their elderly mother back on the farm. But tragedy would strike the family again. A skirmish between Tosen and Aseryo soldiers broke out one day, taking the lives of Gael's older brothers. At the age of 23 he was the last man of his family. The sight of his oldest brother's death created a fury previously unseen, allowing him the strength to finish the soldiers that had killed his siblings and scaring off the remainder of their battalion.

It would be another ten years before the Red Beast would start to become more tame. The life of a warrior has taken its toll. The young soldiers would go in restless and excited, but those that lived as long as Gael had long since given up wasting that energy. The anger that defined the Red Beast is far less prevalent than it once was, but many a tale still exists of mighty and heroic (or villainous, pending the story) feats. The demon invasion initially held nothing startling to the man, as he had fought for Tosen and defended it for over two decades. But the alliance with Aseryo has put him on edge, secretly of course. After all, it was Aseryo soldiers that killed his brothers. While willing to put aside his differences for the greater good, Gael remains wary of his new allies. Not only does he hold a grudge against them, they surely hold a grudge against him.

"My duty is to my family, and my duty is to lead."

Username:
j8cob

Name:
Lorelei Tosen

Age:
18

Gender:
Female

Class:
Lord

Rank:
Member (Royalty)

House:
Tosen

Weapons:
Noble Rapier

Appearance:
The young princess stands at a fairly normal height of 5' 8" with a slim and healthy build. While not voluptuous or curvaceous, Lorelei has an attractive charm about her from her youth and glowing smile. There isn't a blemish or flaw to be found on her skin. Her blue hair and violet eyes are unique and make her stand out from those around her. While Lorelei keeps good poise and dresses as a royal should, she always keeps her blade on her person. She is never seen without her sword at her hip. As of late she has been seen wearing less formal clothes in favor of battle clothing (as depicted in the picture above).

Personality:
The eldest daughter of the Tosen family, Lorelei is confident and assertive. In fact she is almost a little too confident in some aspects. Though well-mannered and trained in etiquette, Lorelei fancies herself as a rough-and-tumble princess despite her actual lack of experience with difficulties. Even with all her training for battle she is yet to fight in a real one, though that hasn't stopped her from imagining herself as a stunning hero and idol to her people. Her desire to become a famous ruler propels her actions, and sometimes her impatience to reach that stardom comes to surface. She is easy to impress but hard to stifle, incapable of passing up any challenge thrown her way. Glory comes above all else in Lorelei's world and she has yet to fail to meet her own demands.

Short Biography:
Being the second child to a royal family always comes with benefits. Lorelei was geared from the start to take her father's reigns should her elder brother fall, receiving the full noble treatment from birth. Well educated, well mannered, and trained in both battle and leadership, Lorelei was made out to be a hero long before she would ever have a chance to prove it.

It wasn't until she became a teenager that Lorelei began her practice of always keeping a sword either nearby or on her person. At thirteen an assassination attempt was made on all the members of the Tosen royal family. Though the entire family survived the attack, Lorelei was powerless against armed adults. She concluded that she must be armed at all times in order to defend herself, though she claimed her decision was simply "to look more regal" in the public eye.

The demon invasion threw off her plans. Having recently become an adult, Lorelei's time to shine was finally upon her. She had expected to be leading battle against House Aseryo, but her father had ultimately decided to ally with their longtime rivals in order to combat the demon menace. Lorelei concluded that it didn't matter who she fought, in the end she would still become a great hero to be revered by her people. In fact, fighting demons sounds far more like an epic than simply continuing a centuries-old feud. Now primed and ready for war, her first battles nonetheless, Lorelei Tosen is preparing herself to become the next great legend.

The Strife of Ostaria | Fire Emblem-Inspired RP [18+]

I edited Gael's history to remove allusions to constant warfare and instead portray him as a man who had simply been in military service for a long time.

Btw I like the Shakespeare reference. I haven't seen any since high school.

Free Winds

@Partisan The League was an organized and coordinated navy, but it was far from perfect. Being that it was composed of ten different organizations the ranks varied significantly. Most didn't have any sort of military ranking system in the first place, so I suppose it would be more akin to pirates.

@Kimono There are some magical abilities that are off-limits. I suppose I should add these to the OP...

No-No Magics:
- Teleportation
- Manipulation of Living Beings
- Anything particularly catastrophic
- Diamond (or anything resembling an "ultimate defense")
- Anything time-related (this should be assumed already)

Fairly simple, not too strict in my opinion. I should note, however, that characters with an Aeva and particularly powerful mages may eventually delve into catastrophic or ultimate defense level, but not for a good, long time.

Fairy Tail: Wings & Tails (Rebooted)

Stacy Kaiser

5' 9" ; 139lbs ; Athletic Build

Name: Stacy Kaiser
Nickname: White Tiger
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Guild: Independent (Magic Council)
Rank: Mage
Personality: Angry and mean-spirited, Stacy is largely anti-social and incredibly narcissistic. While she does have a moral compass she isn't the least bit merciful or empathetic. While her hostile nature impacts her social life, her ability to strategize and lead others allows her to actually cooperate. This doesn't mean anyone likes her, but it means she is somewhat tolerable.

Stacy is also known for being introverted and host to several unhealthy vices, primarily drinking. She drowns her sorrows in alcohol when she isn't doing anything more important. Unfortunately for anyone around her, she is the often angry and borderline violent when inebriated. The hangovers also make her cranky, another downside for those in her company.

History: Grew up in the far north alongside Gwen Sniegrow, suffering from the same demon attack and learning from the same mentor. After their split some years ago, Stacy left to survive on her own. She began bottling her emotions up, keeping an anti-social life that allowed her independence. Never joining a guild, never making any friends. With no emotional release, she eventually turned to drinking.

The past few years had been spent simply going from guild to guild to perform whatever jobs were available, working within the laws of the Magic Council but never staying in one place for too long. Recently her endeavors had caught the attention of the Council, whom have decided to recruit her. Of course they believe she needs behavioral adjustments but they couldn't deny her efficiency and skill, however brutal it may be at times.

Magic:
Ice Make: Dynamic - A maker magic that uses the element of ice to create dynamic (moving) objects or animals to attack, defend, or support with.

Spells

Ice Make: Snow Tiger - Stacy's signature spell. A large tiger made of solid ice is formed, rushing the opponent and attempting to maul them.
Ice Make: Eagle - Multiple eagles of ice are created that home in on a target. Capable of dodging obstacles and chasing a fleeing foe.
Ice Make: Bullwhip - A highly flexible and incredibly long whip of ice is made. Useful for snagging people or punishing the unwary. Kink beware.
Ice Make: Wolf - A wolf's head is formed over Stacy's hands, increasing the damage her punches are capable of inflicting. Also can latch onto foes for a painful grab.
Ice Make: Water Serpent - A large serpent wraps around a foe, encasing them in the thick ice and freezing them in place.
Ice Make: Raging Sea - Stacy coats a large area with ice. Once coated it begins to form moving waves that can cause foes to be bashed around and lose their footing.
Ice Make: Raptor Bomber - A significantly enlarged version of the Eagle spell. A large bird of ice is formed to crash into a target and cause widespread damage.
Ice Make: Hungry Dragon - Stacy creates a large, eastern style dragon out of ice that will charge the foe with its jaws wide open. Foes caught inside are carried into the sky and then slammed back against the ground, feeling the force of being slammed on top of the dragon crashing into them. A very damaging spell, often defeating foes.
Ice Make: Ice Fake - Stacy creates a clone out of ice to save herself in a pinch with a little bit of deceit.
Ice Make: Iron Golem - Large, golem-like creatures are formed of the ice. Though slow moving they are incredibly sturdy and resilient, packing quite a punch. Best used for guarding a specific location rather than going after a target.

Secret Techniques[/I

Ice Make: Titan's Wrath - Stacy's most powerful spell, hands down. A massive golem of ice is created with Stacy inside its chest. The Ice Titan stands at over twenty meters tall and packs an incredible punch. On top of having significant firepower and durability, it actually moves surprisingly fast. Just as fast as Stacy moves on her own, meaning it is very mobile. Damage it receives regenerates unless Stacy herself is removed from the Titan or runs out of magical power.

Magic Amplifying Technique - A magic amplification technique that raises the magical power as well as speed and strength of the user.

Amplifiers

Alcohol - The consumption of alcohol significantly empowers the users offensive capabilities, making them faster, stronger, and more unpredictable than before. As it comes directly from alcohol, it takes a few moments for the amplification to fully take effect but the user starts increasing in ability the moment they have their first sip.
Blood Ice - An amplification technique that only effects the magic of the user rather than all their attributes. By infusing their Ice Make magic with their own blood, the user increases the overall power of the spells as well as having several other benefits. The blood supplied is usually from wounds sustained in battle, making this a late-game amplifier.

Other:

• The longer she fights, the stronger she becomes.
• Impressive physical abilities, most notably speed and magical power.
• Excellent hand-to-hand combatant.
• Angry drunk.

Councilman Ajax Thera

6' 3" ; 215lbs ; Buff build

Name: Ajax Thera
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Guild: Magic Council
Rank: Wizard Saint
Personality: One thing that can be said about Ajax Thera is that he is surprisingly calm. He is almost always even-tempered, maintaining his cool in the most stressful of situations. He is polite and respectful and has a personal emphasis on manners. While he is level-headed and proud, he is prone to being extremely embarrassed whenever he does something he perceives as foolish. Despite his calm nature, Ajax is capable of erupting in rage when the right buttons are pushed, though this is a rarity. While he is usually intelligent, when he is overcome by rage all strategy goes out the window. In fact he becomes very dangerous when he erupts so much that not even allies are safe.

He isn't without his quirks, however. Ajax has a fashion sense, for one, and likes to look "badass" at all times. His affinity for hot cocoa is surpassed by none and he can sometimes get cranky when deprived of his favorite drink. Ajax finds satisfaction in playing board games or card games, though he isn't the best at them. Often people let him win, fearing he might be a sore loser though that isn't the case. In the end, Ajax is a likable fellow that treats those around him with respect, even his opponents.

Magic:
Lava Dragon Slayer

Other:

• Addicted to hot cocoa. Favorite/only drink.

Hana Oshiro

5' 11" ; 160lbs ; Slim Build

Name: Hana Oshiro
Nickname: The Last Samurai
Age: 31
Gender: Female
Guild: Wizards of Fiore
Rank: Paragon
Personality: This young woman is known for her elegant manner of speech and proud yet humble attitude. Hana is polite and respectful of those around her while maintaining her own confidence. Loyal and trustworthy, she has an air about her that allows her to make friends easily. A calming voice and slow-pace of words give an inviting feel to those around her.

Her air of royalty sometimes comes off as intimidating but that only comes from misconceptions. Hana's inability to be hostile is almost legendary. Sometimes it is assumed that she is unintelligent or an airhead due to her slow style of speech but that is also a misconception. She is rather intelligent and tactical, having surprising wisdom for her age. She is capable of learning a lot about people from only interacting with them briefly, proving her empathy and social insight.

History: Hana's early years are largely unknown. She speaks little of her past but alludes to living in a formal yet abusive household where she was often punished for her seeming lack of intelligence. Hana Oshiro joined the Wizards of Fiore at sixteen and was quickly regarded as a powerful mage. Her skill was so great, in fact, she was proclaimed S-class less than a month after joining.

Since then she has become an integral member of the magical community, being one of the friendliest and most social members of the guild. She appears in the Weekly Sorcerer as a cover girl every once in a while and even has her own advice column in the magazine, though her column is only once a month rather than every week. At eighteen she encountered Ajax Thera.

The two hit it off. Literally, as Hana's mission was to capture him for the Magic Council under suspicion of being a dark mage (as he was independent at the time). Despite his incredible power, Hana managed to fight him at a comparable level for a while. It was apparent that he was quite stronger than her, but she held her own. After her defeat, Ajax cleared up that he wasn't a dark mage and that his alleged crimes were accidents due to the nature of his magic.

The two went to Era together and he turned himself in, eventually leading to his acceptance into the Magic Council and becoming a Wizard Saint. Hana herself was considered for a position in the Wizard Saints, being there were several openings left by the passing or leaving of previous members, but the Council decided against it. The years have gone by and Hana has become famous all across Fiore for her feats.

She is considered one of the strongest wizards alive. Hana has become a fan-favorite to many aspiring mages. She has been known to spar with several Wizard Saints, most often Ajax, as a way to train herself and avoid becoming stale.

Magic:
Requip: The Samurai - Requip magic that focuses on swords and polearms.

Requips

Sword of God - A powerful katana that is so sharp it can slice through steel like a hot knife through butter. Merely swinging the blade in the direction of an opponent can cut them, even if they are beyond the blade's reach.
Infinity Blade - The blade of this katana can grow in length, reaching incredible distances in a single swing. If broken it can simply regrow.
Heaven Slicer - A naginata that grants the wielder increased strength.
Piercing Soul - A spear that grants the wielder increased speed.
Yokai - A strange but powerful weapon. Simply a grey hilt with no blade. However it can absorb magic from the air around it. Using the magic it absorbs it creates a magical blade that only lasts one hit. When the target is hit, they see illusions unique to the caster of the absorbed magic, as it reads the soul via the absorbed magic. Illusions vary per person but the illusions exploit the target's greatest weakness, be it fear or confidence. Those caught in the illusion are paralyzed.

Cherry Blossom Magic - A caster-type magic that allows the user to create cherry blossoms at will, giving them magical properties. Hana can use it in tandem with her Requip magic. Passive Effect: Every time Hana hits an opponent, cherry blossoms scatter from the impact. They are aesthetic and have no effect.

Spells

Senbonzakura: Kamikaze - The most basic Cherry Blossom spell. A thin, curved wave of cherry blossoms are sent toward a target. These blossoms have incredible cutting power and force behind them, even cutting through magic.
Senbonzakura: Endless Kamikaze - A powerful variation of the Kamikaze spell. A barrage of slicing waves of cherry blossoms are flung at the opponent at high speed. The onslaught is powerful enough to decimate a city block if unchecked.
Senbonzakura: Hand of God - A passive spell. Cherry blossoms will appear and form a thick vein to block an incoming attack automatically. The quantity of blossoms varies with the size of the incoming attack, though it retains the same thickness. Capable of blocking many attacks, both physical and magical, but sufficiently powerful attacks will break through the defense.
Senbonzakura: Summerfall - Many thousands of cherry blossoms are formed in the air around Hana, floating in place. They each begin firing towards a target like bullets, creating a dense barrage of sharp blossoms that can reduce a target to ribbons.
Senbonzakura: Iaido - A combination of Cherry Blossom magic and swordsmanship. Using the Sword of God, Hana charges forward at insane speeds, drawing and re-sheathing her blade in the blink of an eye. Her speed is boosted by cherry blossoms propelling from her feet, creating a trail of scattering blossoms in her wake. This single-strike attack contains devastating power, often damaging far more than just the target.
Senbonzakura: Tsunami - A literal wave of cherry blossoms is created, crashing down on the target like a tsunami. The blossoms are sharp and painful, but the danger comes from the sheer quantity and density.
Senbonzakura: Lovely Vortex - A tornado of cherry blossoms are created around a target, trapping them inside. It is possible to escape, but not by simple measures due to a regenerating effect of the blossoms and their cutting power.
Senbonzakura: Hikari no Kami - One of Hana's most powerful spells. Cherry blossoms swirl around a target, similar to Lovely Vortex. The blossoms continue extending higher and higher into the sky, stretching for miles. Once a certain incantation is spoken, a powerful beam of pink light descends from the sky and annihilates anything trapped inside the blossoms.

Incantation

O powerful God
Hear my voice
And grant me thy power
To create and destroy
For my enemy is your enemy
Who shalt accept thy judgment

Senbonzakura: Dance of One Thousand Petals - A useful spell that lets Hana's body scatter into cherry blossoms and reform at another location. Not only can the petals damage a foe, they are difficult to damage. Magic can still hit Hana in this state but nearly all physical attacks cannot.
Senbonzakura: Demon Army - Cherry blossoms compact and form demonic figures. These blossom demons are quite fast and strong on top of the slicing effect of the blossoms that create them. To top it off, these minions regenerate when damaged, only being truly defeated when entirely destroyed.
Senbonzakura: Crimson Blossom - A powerful suicide spell. Hana begins by stabbing herself in the midsection in Seppuku style. The blood from her wound empowers her Cherry Blossom spells and turns the blossoms red. Their cutting power, speed, and durability are increased tenfold, as well as increasing the size of her attacks. At this point even her weaker spells will blast through most anything. The critical drawback of this spell is that it comes with the risk of Hana dying, being she must inflict a grievous wound on herself. Without immediate and skillful medical attention, she will surely die. Even if she survives, Hana will be hospitalized for a long time afterwards.

Other:

• Master swordswoman.
• Incredible speed and magical power.
• Impressive strength.
• Honed senses.
• Fierce loyalty to her friends.
• Once considered to become a Wizard Saint.
• Longtime friend of Councilman Ajax Thera, presently in a relationship with him.
• Heavy sleeper. VERY heavy sleeper.
• Dyslexic and thus a slow reader.
• Her jokes are bad, but it's polite to laugh anyways.
• Famous for her speed and one-strike victories.
