If by balanced, you mean sucking at everything. in fire emblem, if all your stats are neutral, you're not strong enough to hurt anything, too slow, too fragile, and too inaccurate.

Uh... not sure where that came from, but eh. I like the soldiers where they were playable. And, uh, then I suppose their stats weren't neutral, seeing how they did damage and were not exactly either fragile, inaccurate or slow? They were commendable and respectable fighters, plenty armored so no need to fear their lives immediately even though they still lost to Knights in armor but maintained the mobility of the other classes. Their attack wasn't the strongest, sure, but they held commendably well and had no other weak points, so I really liked them. I realize now that there were only two playable ones, but I liked those two. Seeing how those Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn didn't have Mercenaries as a class, I suppose it was their overall-class, thing. Not sure how the stats looked for them, but I liked them, anyways.

Edit: Of course, they don't need to appear since this is based on a game within which they were not playable, but I just wished to state my useless liking to the class. Haha.

Shore, less do this. Wanna 5v5 in the crypt?

Sure. I need to skip one character, eh... Well, that was an easy choice. I'll skip Yukiha, my thief, and transfer her vulnerary to Takaho, so all my vulneraries comes into play. She won't be doing much, anyway. That's alright. Then allow us to wait for the GM to return. Heh-heh.

Edit: Well... um... actually, Asura is online right now. Can't you like, PM him about it, or something? Or have you already done that? I'm just... wondering... if we're not pushing someone aside when they're... er... well... Just that seeing him online sent doubts through me and stuff...

Edit 2: Eh, nevermind. If he hasn't looked in on two weeks, then it won't come as a surprise anyway. Let's play. Haha.

I'mma stay in and show you all the power of Lance Lords. Unless Platinum wants to battle with/against me. I'd be willing to drop out if that's the case.

I could if you want to. I'm kind of indifferent to who I fight with/against. Do you?

SOD OFF MERCENARIES ARE BEST CLASS EVER. SO SAYETH OUR LORD AND SAVIOR GERIK.

I know they are. That's why they're silly. They're silly good. That's why I prefer soldiers. Much more realistic and balanced instead of being good with no negatives for no reason. Though I expect soldiers would have 15 armor.

Fire Emblem Battle Royale

So, all complications to experience I may have brought with me aside...

Anyone who wants to play something with me? Like, either grinding Risen together in the Risen mode, or simply combat against my team in whatever way you'd like, or maybe try out the Beheaded mode just for fun? Heh-heh, haha...

Edit: I just noticed... No soldier-class, huh? Too bad. I quite like them, they give a lance-wielding alternative to the armor-covered Knight and are quite dependable. Like, an average unit with no real flaws like the rest of them. Perhaps slightly akin to Mercenary, except Mercenaries are just silly. ... Suppose implementing their promotions into 2D would be difficult? *sigh* Oh, well.

Fire Emblem Battle Royale

I'm not sure how you're usually playing, but I am pretty used to getting exp from hitting enemies, so... yeah... haha... Maybe it is just because I play on Normal all the time... ... ... I just felt like mentioning.

Fire Emblem Battle Royale

Alright.

... But, there are only two ways for the lead unit to gain experience. Defeating an enemy, which uses this complicated formula, and then engaging, which only ever gives 1 exp. So you can chop and attack enemies all you want, you'll still get the same exp from slicing 3000 points of damage like holding no weapon and being struck for no damage in as many engagements assuming the unit slicing 3000 points of damage never did so while taking out an enemy unit. I do think I remember that cutting someone, even if it does not take out the enemy, gave somewhat more than 1 exp. I'm just... wondering. Oh, well.

Edit: Eh...? But... I saw Asura online a moment ago... PM him...?

Fire Emblem Battle Royale

Alright. Another question, then.

I've seen mentions of you "rolling the stats" of the characters. Does that mean that I should just lean back and wait for you to create one of those sheets of characters the rest of them have on the front page? Or should I do something?

Edit: Wait, hold on. They all start with E proficiency, and... Iron weapons need D? ... What is this foolishness... They can't wield Iron equipment...? That... got to be a first... Guess I'll need to rewrite some, or my normal units won't have any weapons...

Edit 2: Seeing how my normal units by some reason cannot wield the most normal weapon in Fire Emblem history and have to resort to the younger adopted brother that is even worse and I would never hand to anyone in good faith, I have edited my above units. Yukiha, Naiyo and Yasuno now wields bronze weapons (gnfk. You know, bronze is hard to forge. Bronze weapons would be a lot more expensive than iron ones...), Takaho's vulnerary has been removed and Ayuna has been bought a Crossbow to ensure someone actually can do some damage against... things. Also, the mage's second reclass has been changed from Archer to Wyvern with the extra gold, because I don't think I'd ever want an additional archer. Not that I'm ever intending to reclass. And that's that.

Edit 3: I kind of want to grind against Risen now. Anyone who wants to join? Assuming my team is OK, that is.

Edit 4: Excuse me. Um. It looks here like a normal Engagement will give only 1 Exp. Isn't that for when the character did no damage or was struck with no chance of attacking back? Don't you get, like, 10+ or something if you managed to do damage, less if you're a developed unit doing damage to a lesser unit and slightly more the more damage you do but at least 10? Or something? It kind of feels a bit weak if I weaken a unit with all my other units and they only get 1 exp each... Not to mention that isn't how it works in the games... I'm just wondering.

Fire Emblem Battle Royale

I'm kind of confused. It looks like this is some extremely complicated and well thought-out things around here... but all I need to do to begin is, like, this?

Ayuna

Name: Ayuna

Sex: Female

Appearance: She is a short girl on 150 cm and is, by all means, not the kind of girl you would expect on a battlefield. Her eyes are blue. Dense purple hair that is only taken care of enough to look presentable spreads across her head, only stretching only a short length. Said hair is held into place by a green gleaming hairband, placed there ages past and has not been removed for a long time. Her body figure is very light, as if one would expect her to be really frail. But in truth, she is strong for her size.

Initial Weapon: Bow.

Asset: Speed

Flaw: Resistance

As I understood, I am to buy common units after creating my lord (do I have to have a lord...?). So, um, do I do anything beyond what I wrote above? How much gold do you start with, I cannot seemingly find it anywhere? ... Do one have to pay for the obligatory potential reclasses or is that just the prize you need to pay in the eventual case you want to reclass them?

Edit: So, by looking myself, 30k gold and yes, one has to pay for potential reclasses... Tsk, I don't even intend to reclass them...

Edit Nr. 2: Like this?

Ayuna – Archer (Bow Lord)

Name: Ayuna

Sex: Female

Class: Bow Lord

Appearance: She is a short girl on 150 cm and is, by all means, not the kind of girl you would expect on a battlefield. Her eyes are blue. Dense purple hair that is only taken care of enough to look presentable spreads across her head, only stretching only a short length. Said hair is held into place by a green gleaming hairband, placed there ages past and has not been removed for a long time. Her body figure is very light, as if one would expect her to be really frail. But in truth, she is strong for her size.

Personality: A shy yet capable girl, she’s quite able to take command and fight when the time comes. However, when in the presence of shinier individuals, she may come across as quite timid. She is easily stressed and worries a lot. However, there can be no doubt of her kind and innocent nature behind that.

Background: A lord from a nation that will remain unnamed unless this RP actually takes any form of story. She’s a younger daughter, meaning she’s never meant to actually command the realm or anything like that. Instead, she has set out on a journey to find herself, learn the ropes of combat and defend the land from any danger that might befall it during her journey.

Initial Weapon: Bow.

Asset: Speed

Flaw: Resistance

Costs: Crossbow (1500) + standard free equipment.

Yukiha – Thief

Name: Yukiha

Sex: Female

Class: Thief

Appearance: An upright and alright-looking young woman with a constant smile on her face. She has shoulder-length blue hair and green eyes, and her eyes are constantly alit with intention. Should you seek through her clothing you will likely find a lot of possessions of random people at the castle…

Personality: An active, outgoing and very friendly soul that obeys few laws and does many things simply because they’re amusing. She’s a fan of scandals and rumors, and many a corrupt noble has found themselves exposed by a random thief in the dark. She likes to party, and can seem quite innocent to those who don’t know her.

Background: A friend of Ayuna’s since a long time ago, she’s the daughter of a servant at their castle. The servant wasn’t the most loyal of servants and Yukiha was taught the means of a thief, but to the parent’s dismay Yukiha was loyal, and now tags along her friend’s journey because of loyalty and sense of that this will be fun.

Cost: Thief (3800), Reclasses Pegasus (520) and Cleric (360), Bronze Sword (350), Vulnerary (300) = 5330.

Naiyo – Fighter

Name: Naiyo

Sex: Female

Class: Fighter

Appearance: A tall, steadfast bodyguard of the female lord. She looks and is strong, constantly stands with pride and will and a serious determined expression. She has blue eyes and her very long red hair hangs behind her in a single thick ponytail which reaches her hips in length.

Personality: A resolute and serious girl, Naiyo holds the determined eyes and face of a person with a purpose. She is used to being in command and she holds the aura of someone you do not wish to piss off. She doesn’t seem like she has a sense of humor, and her sense of punishment is way off-scale. A resolute follower of all rules, she is a natural police-officer that will tell everyone to correct their ways should they stray from the right paths and she will punish those who stray from the path of righteousness tenfold. That is the kind of person she is.

Background: Naiyo was the daughter of a royal advisor, so just like Yukiha she grew up close to the young lord, the two of them often chasing each other around. Where Yukiha was an agent of chaos Naiyo was one of order, joining the royal guard and was eventually personally assigned to Ayuna as her bodyguard. As such, she naturally accompanies on this trip. Naiyo follows her lord proudly, always on her side.

Cost: Fighter (4700), Reclasses Cavalier (490) and Mage (380), Bronze Axe (350), Vulnerary (300) = 6220

Yasuno – Myrmidon

Name: Yasuno

Sex: Female

Class: Myrmidon

Appearance: A female swordsman with a passive expressionless expression who only can smile when things bleed around her. She’s moderately tall, behind her a very long waist-length black hair hangs free behind her, red eyes staring silently at those she cannot kill and gleaming happily bloodthirstily at those she can.

Personality: An intelligent and introverted girl who avoids contact with others if possible. Due to some tragedies in her youth, she often insults people around her while avoiding to show them any expression. That is a mask, however, and she’s as prone to happiness, anger and sadness as the next girl. However, come battle or something else she enjoys a suitably creepy smile can touch her face as she slices things in half around her in her own little bloody dance.

Background: Formerly a feared enemy of the kingdom Ayuna’s from, who had killed many on the basis of losing friends and families in injustices committed by it, she was turned over by the efforts of the actual heir to the throne during one of her earlier journeys. Now a trusted and feared combatant, said heir assigned Yasuno to defend Ayuna during this trip as a sign of trust, and so she shall.

Cost: Myrmidon (4800), Reclasses Thief (380) and Shaman (470), Bronze Sword (350), Vulnerary (300) = 6300

Takaho – Mage

Name: Takaho

Sex: Female

Class: Mage

Appearance: A noblewoman who naturally believes herself superior to the rest. She stands moderately tall, often with grace to her pose, even as she waves around tomes of magic around her. She has wavy black hair which spreads down to chest-height behind her. Her expression is often one of pride, and her green eyes look on anyone they rest upon with confidence she is their better.

Personality: An intelligent brain but a flawed mind, Takaho is the archtypical proud noblewoman. Actually at the same age as the rest of the girls, she wastes no time believing herself to be superior to the rest. She walks with grace, speaks politely even when insulting those she views as peasants and laughs loudly. Her only soft spot is her sister, Ryouko, who she’ll go to hell and beyond to take care of.

Background: Daughter of a noblewoman in that nation, Takaho quickly moved to the capital to study. A quick learner with excellent grades and a pretty good mage, she quickly assumed she was simply of a superior kind (though she’s not a prodigy). She was initially not going to come on the trip, but when hearing Ayuna was taking her little sister Ryouko on it she came on her own volition to keep her little sister safe, because nobody else can be trusted with that.

Cost: Mage (3800), Reclasses Cleric (360) and Wyvern (510), Fire (500) = 5170

Ryouko – Cleric

Name: Ryouko

Sex: Female

Class: Cleric

Appearance: Ryouko is a somewhat shorter girl, but alike to her sister she has green eyes and black wavy hair, though Ryouko’s ends already at her neck. Quite unlike her sister, Ryouko wears the face of an innocent cute girl who intends nothing else but the best of the entire world, and who could possibly hate such a one? She is notably younger than all the others.

Personality: Unlike Takaho, her older sister, Ryouko is quite humble, modest, and innocent. She probably could never hurt a fly, and she seemingly cannot even comprehend the concept of lying or that somebody in the world might want to hurt her. Brutally honest and believes every word anyone tells her. Her limited understanding of danger means she sometimes needs to be stopped from running into danger or from healing injured enemies in the midst of battle (that said, could I heal my enemies if Ryouko wanted to?).

Background: Sister of Takaho and daughter of the same noblewoman, Ryouko was constantly on her sisters side and this did not change when they moved to the capital. As a happy girl she simply continued her clerical studies and helped out a lot when her sister only pulled her weight to help herself. When Ayuna was to depart and needed a healer, Ryouko was picked out of necessity for the girl to gain real experience in the world, and as a natural consequence Takaho came along too.

Cost: Cleric (3600), Reclasses Monk (390) and Troubador (370), Heal (600), Vulnerary (300) = 5260

Used gold; 29970. Remaining gold; 30. Is this correct? Edit: Hold on. It appears the lord gets the equipment for free? Then... Used gold; 29120. Remaining gold; 880. Used gold; 29780. Remaining gold; 220.

Hm... Do you simply decide the skills you want the characters to have? Edit: Found it. The levels. Got it.

And yeah. I felt like giving them all character. I assume there is nothing wrong with this?

Game of Tails

There. I posted. If there's something wrong with it, please do not hesitate to yell at me.

Game of Tails

The princess smiled happily in relief seeing Lucrezia and the rest waiting for them. The battle was already underway, after all, any further delay could potentially be costly. As such, they touched down and Narlah made a happy gawk at nothing from being able to place her large talons on solid ground after a successful flight. And, uh… the national concert band started a welcoming anthem… Which would have been completely fine, except the heroes had not decided that they were going to assist them yet. Solia felt a streak of awkwardness run through her, hoping to cope with the situation somehow. She smiled down at her Head Maid, allowing her to help the white-haired girl down from the cercle. Feeling a bit shy due to not knowing the current emotions of potential misunderstandings, Solia turned to Lucrezia and whoever else was within hearing range at the moment from the castle.

‘Thank you very much for meeting with us like this, as planned. But, um, the heroes have not yet decided if they want to support our cause, so I’d rather not send out the wrong kind of message prematurely. Um…’ Solia would then turn with a slight blush and an unsure expression towards the heroes, who may or may not have stepped off Narlah by now. ‘Alam, Yui, this is my Head Maid, Lucrezia.’ Saying their names were always good for knowing each other’s names. Always. The princess did still want them to fight, but of course they shouldn’t be forced to, but… ‘W-well, um, they have prepared clothes for our heroes to battle in… Even if you may or may not want to actually partake… You can still try them out?’ Yeah, Lucrezia had offered them towards the changing stalls. The white-haired princess stepped aside a bit awaiting whatever reaction the heroes would have.

The two weapons of the nations, both which would currently only appear as rings before a user would put them on and give the weapons the form which the wielder desires it to have, would have been instructed to be offered to the heroes after they had been changed. Solia had also requested to be the one to give the rings to the heroes. Symbolic, in some way, that the princess was personally giving the most sacred weapons of the nation to the two heroes as a gift of trust before the oncoming battle. That was for a bit later, though. But, Solia did feel the need to explain to the heroes about the weapons and such things… But currently, she was just looking at them with worried eyes hoping that they’d agree to get changed.
