Pickles or weed?

Just curious. I prefer pickles.

Dr. Facilier

"Thank you," said the bokur. "Now, I have some business to deal with..." Facilier turned around and came from behind the curtain, to the woman in the foyer. "I'm on a tight schedule, missus, so we're going to have to make this quick. Dr. Facilier, dealer in hoodoo and voodoo, how may I help you?"

King Dedede--Yggdrasil

King Dedede scratched his chin. "Well, that sounds mighty bad, to me, though I suppose you knew that already," Dedede declared. "Well, I ain't an expert on this 'C.S.I.' deal, but the bottom line is that we've got to get to the bottom of this. So let's start from the bottom. We've got blood. We've got it contaminated with this worse-than-deadly illness. But we know where the bloods been taken from. So do we have any leads or anything? Is there a way to follow the trail to cease this crazy caper?"

@MinderSounds fine, let me get my Dedede response in first, though.

How does a steampunk Fire Emblem roleplay sound?

Well, probably it would be done via a system of prompts and given information about nearby units. That's the basic idea I have right now, in terms of combat.

Fire Emblem: New Gears

@Shotgun Bear
1. I'd probably say high casual.

2. Stat caps will remain the same as Awakening, though I'm not sure how stat calcs work in Fire Emblem, so I don't know.

3. By all means.

4. Because of the aforementioned stats thing, we're going to need planning in terms of leveling.

5. I'm planning to have a balance between combat and character interaction, although I'm hoping for a lot of interaction in terms of supports, in between battles, and in-battle conversation.

An era exploding

Fire Emblem: New Gears

The United Ylissean Halidom--a marvel of technological advancement. Steam-carriages trundle through Ylisstol, easing the commute between areas of the large capital, and even to other cities and outposts in the country. Powerful locomotives and dirigibles allow for easy travel to further parts of the union. Villages range in function from industrial factories to agricultural producers, and the security of the united halidom rests well in the hands of the Ylissean Guard, founded centuries ago by the Exalt Chrom (under the name of the Shepherds). Many people credit the current exalt, Chalys, for maintaining the peace and prosperity of the UYH, though it is the work of countless Exalts before her that made the nation's success possible.

The UYH maintains good trade relations with the industrialized continent of Valm and the traditional khandom of Ferox. Valm provides a strong defense service as well as many of the raw materials used in Ylissean factories, while Ferox maintains a "blank cheque" with the UYH in case of attack by foreign nations.

Even so, there are those who remain in opposition to the union of Ylisse and Plegia. Perhaps their union conflicted with certain economic desires. Perhaps traditional values, traditional relationships clashed with the modern union. Perhaps it is something more sinister that drives the contempt for what many perceived as progress.

We now turn to the twentieth anniversary of the Ylisstol Public Library's institution, where through the mists of steam and smoke an insurrection against the promises of the union begins...

Welcome to Fire Emblem: New Gears!

This is a steampunk-themed Fire Emblem roleplay, set in the continent of Ylisse during an era of steam equivalent to our world's own late-19th/early-20th century. Play as characters in this industrial nation and watch as the turbulence and tension between change and tradition test the very strength of the nation's unity. Take part in the crusade to preserve Ylisse's progress, and uncover the more insidious aspects of the desire for a return to the old status quo.

Here are the roleplay's guidelines:

• All standard roleplay rules apply here as well (godmodding, metagaming, powerplaying, etc.).
• Classes in Fire Emblem are quite balanced, but I would like diversity. What fun is an army of myrmidons, anyway? (Actually, an army of villagers would be pretty funny, BUT STILL.)
• Skills listed on your character sheets are skills that the character WILL develop within his/her class. So please be reasonable in terms of story in where these skills develop, since it isn't exactly fair to have Pavise and Aegis completely protecting your character in the very earliest stages of the game, is it?
• Also, be reasonable with weapon levels. If you need guidance on what weapon level is needed to use a weapon, consult the Fire Emblem wiki.
• Settle disputes in the OOC without flaming each other.
• Most canon characters are long gone by the time this story takes place; therefore, being a canon character is limited to aged manaketes and Anna.
• Make sure you can manage all the characters that you have. I won't place a limit until it gets ridiculous.
• Feel free to contribute plot ideas. As much as I would like to try, I can't come up with all this by myself. ._.'
• If you have read these, write "I fight for my friends!" in the Other section of your character sheet.
• Character death will happen. If you wish to be the cause of someone else's character's death, then get their consent before conducting your misfortunate business.
• If you absolutely want to be on the opposition in the story, by all means, do so. It'll make everything more interesting. (I'd recommend introducing such characters when we get a little into the story so that the factions are effectively delineated.)
• I will update class lists as we go along as needed. If there are any questions about classes, weapons, or skills, by all means, ask away.
• If there's anything I missed or anything I need to clarify, don't hesitate to ask. I want this to be an enjoyable experience for all of you.

@ShoryuI'm hoping that we'll get to go through with this, since I've been wanting to execute this idea.
