Fire Emblem Fates - The Ocean's Silent Waves

Bump up the personality section a bit more and I'll let it go through.

Fire Emblem Fates - The Ocean's Silent Waves

Rule number is literally: 1. This will be a roleplay with a standard of adept roleplaying. I'm not expecting an overwhelming amount of detail but I do expect effort to be put into characterization. Three sentences do not make a personality, or a bio in my eyes.

That roleplay is something expected from a free level (example: http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/129899-arranged-disney-style/char) roleplay. You need to put a lot more work into it. There's more to a character's depth than just a few sentences. They have lives and have experienced hardships, love, and they are generally more complex than what's given. I'm expecting the same length that I have put in but that is not enough.

I'm not trying to be offensive but I strictly enforce the length rule. Not as a way to punish players but as a way to make sure characters are properly fleshed out and not half baked. It shows thought was put into the character and that the player will stick with them.

-
Personality: Prideful, loving, kind, forgiving, and honest Audric has always been a boy of good character and well intentions. His initial reaction to anything is to settle it peacefully but is just as well willing to use violence if it comes down to it. A doting brother, friend, and humanitarian Audric always wanted to grow up to be a person that could take care of others around him and be the stuff of the heroes he heard about so often inspired by the stories of past kings and especially was fond of King Sumeragi of Hoshido whom he had met on a special occasion as a child. He seeks to improve himself as a combatant and fighter and he is willing to listen to those above and below his level of combative ability to fix weak spots in his technique. He is more than willing to offer a hand to those in need of assistance and finds it personally awarding to do so without expecting a reward or compensation but does not begrudge someone for offering him something in return. He has always found the night and dusk to be the most beautiful time of day and is fond of sky gazing and picking out constellations in the stars above. He loves to mess around and joke with friends about all sorts of affairs when allowed to.

As a noble he is kind to his servants and treats them with respect above all always noting their accomplishments over their failures and wishes for them to improve just as he strives to do so himself. He treats them as equally as possible while maintaining his position as the current heir to his household. He is noted for playing with the servants' children in his spare time and sparring with his guards on his off time. He feels it is a liege's personal obligation to respect those who serve them and know as many as possible.

His family to him is everything and Audric is willing to go to extreme lengths to help out his elder brother in anything. Ever since his father passed away when he was a teen he had only wished to please his brother and while some see him a content fool he is ignorant of those claims simply stating he is fine with his life of adventure, heroics, and diplomacy. He does not seek his family's fame as one of the richest and powerful in the country of Nestra but he does take pride in his blood line not allowing his actions to besmirch his family name unless driven by his innate sense of justice and freedom.

Though he is kind he is also very vindictive when crossed and a betrayal of his trust is something he views as inexcusable. He is more than willing to let someone walk but if need be he can be as cold as ice in winter killing people without regret. His pride in his family leads him to thoroughly despise anyone who attempts to hurt his loved ones, or his family never truly forgiving them in his heart even if he tolerates their presence around him. His anger has often led him into bad situations involving bandits which has nearly cost him his life on a few occasions during his teenage years. Though he has somewhat quelled the black flames that engulf his heart when enraged it is still terrifying to see him when pushed to his limit.


Though he hates backing down from a fight he intends to win he can see the point in strategic retreats though he himself adopts the mindset of absolutely destroying his enemies. He is protective of his allies and tends to do his best to defend them in the midst of an all out battle. He tries to quake an inner blood lust by depending on his inner sensibilities to calm himself which sometimes causes issues in battle making him unsure if he himself wants to kill someone or simply injuring them.

Biography/history:

Audric's Story (to be edited)

Born in Cyrkensia without any problems young Audric was from the start destined to play second fiddle to his elder brother Nolan who was to succeed his father as head of the family. Still despite this his parents always insisted they had great plans for the boy and had loved him since before he had even come into the world. His mother was the last known member of her own merchant house and had married into Audric's father's house out of love not political convenience. Audric's mother's name was Moriko of Hoshidan ancestry and was beloved by her people and his father's name was Nathaniel who came from mixed Nohrian and Wind Tribe ancestry.

As a young toddler Audric was often accompanied by his older brother Nolan who doted on his younger sibling with all the love Audric could have ever wanted the two basically being inseparable. His grandfather also read to him the short time he remained before he passed away leaving a few fond memories of pure happiness and joy shared with two of the most important people too him. He enjoyed reading and watching the dancers in the city more often than seeing his brother spar with his trainers but he found it equally as interesting and cheered on his brother. He spent time with his mother walking in gardens and visiting other noble houses around his town and the general region of Nohr where he would ironically meet Princess Camilaa of Nohr for the first time becoming a quick friend of hers with his upbeat attitude. His brother Nolan often sparred and played with Prince Xander of Nohr as well when the King came to visit to listen to the beautiful music of the city. Audric would come to respect and think of Xander as an older brother to some regard but eventually the time would come to an end and he has not seen Xander in a long time.

His father often spent time with him, and Nolan engaging them in debates about life and what it means to be a noble lord of their house. In fact Audric would eventually ask himself many personal questions based on the conundrums presented by their father and he loved how easily the answers came when his brother pointed them out personally. In fact a young Xander would be the one to teach Audric some of his own philosophies on justice before the two became distant. Though the biggest impact on his life came form his first meeting with King Sumeragi when he was on crusp of becoming a young adolescent not long before the man's death and the eventual fall in relations between Hoshido and Nohr. Sumeragi had been a close friend of Audric's father whom had given him help with previous endeavors in the markets around the principality of Nestra. Sumeragi had come to Nestra to speak about a trade dispute for which Audric's father had insisted on helping him with but due to various issues Sumeragi had to come visit the city personally one day. Audric actually spent the majority of a day with the king learning and asking questions about Hoshidan culture and the king's duties. Sumeragi fond the young budding noble to be a good lad and when the end of the day came spent the time gazing at the sunset together on top of the mansion Sumeragi claiming the boy had potential to be a strong souled warrior.

After the death of Sumeragi by the assumed hands of King Garon, and a sudden death of his father by way of illness Audric entered his teen years with little in the way of parental guidance outside of his butler Hanzo and his mother. Nolan ascended to take control of the family immediately and despite his duties he often came to his brother's room to find comfort in their shared grieving for the death of both the Hoshidan King and their late father. His mother was on the way with another child by the time Nolan become lord of the house and Audric was both saddened the boy or girl coming would never see his or her father but intended to make up for it. He took little notice between the deepening distrust between Nohr and their house but Audric often tried to write to Camila or Xander with little success eventually giving up on the matter all together.

It was when he was a teenager that his brother first insisted he learn how to fight professionally and with talent. Though Audric had taken up the practice of using a toy and wooden spear as a child Audric never really fancied combat at all. Nolan knew the young man had talent and insisted his younger brother learn how to defend himself and others at all costs. Audric quickly took to using a lance in combat though on happenstance he tried an axe and found the power of the weapon more to his liking than the lance. His brother then had his retainers help train Audric on the side when Nolan was too busy with his own work as lord.

Audric's teen years were quick and fantastical not only did he quickly find his niche as a warrior in his own right as he traveled Nestra fighting bandits and promoting peace between houses but he also become a proud older brother to a young boy who was called Keith who had been born with a strange monochrome pair of eyes one blue and the other green. Audric was a fantastic older brother to the young boy and the pair quickly become the best of friends though Audric would always be closer to his brother Nolan who tried to spend time with Keith but with his growing age found it harder and harder to properly keep track of things. It was around this time Samanthia had appeared out of nowhere and became his retainer after Audric showed her and her Pegasus a kindness. She claimed that she had no one else to go to and gladly offered her services to him.

It would be his proudest and saddest moment of his life when he first stormed into battle and took down a bandit chief all by his lonesome mastering his own brutal fighting style with an axe with the help of his soldiers and friends in Nestra. It became sad when he found out back home mother had passed away from prolonged illness after she had given birth to Keith. Audric cried for days but promised he'd become the man his mother always wanted him to be and he'd make his father proud to call him his son. Audric had continued to live his life this way until recently....

Word had reached Cyrkensia of troubles in the lands between Hoshido and Nohr. Fearing the worst Audric personally left his retainers and allies behind to find out what was happening. It was only days prior too reaching Hoshido's capital to meet Lord Ryoma when he found out that Queen Mikoto had been reunited with a lost son...and had been promptly killed by an unknown assailant days prior. It would be on a fateful day when he finally caught up to them all....

Samanthia - Sky/Pegasus Knight of Unknown Origins

Fire Emblem Fates - The Ocean's Silent Waves

How long had Audric been making his way through the country side exactly? Days...weeks? It couldn't have been too long ever since he received that call he had intended to find out the truth of the matter. Maybe if he could get to one of the Nohrian Royals before things got out of hand, he could do something. Stop this matter from getting worse. Failing that maybe he could go to Hoshido, and get Ryoma to listen to him. How long had it been since he had talked to a Hoshidan for any length of time? Most of the people who came through Cyrkensia were Nohrian in origin. Regardless the young born noble could only hope that he could do something...anything! His guards had informed him that Hoshido had re-found their long lost prince. Rumor had it Hoshido had long since suspected Nohr of kidnapping the young prince Corrin.

Audric wipe sweat from his brow his dully colored hair a mess as the breeze swept through his hair. He had decided to make his way on foot for the remaining journey. He always was a better fighter on his own two feet. Maybe that had been a mistake but he didn't want to hamper himself. Daywalker hung from his belt gleaming in the afternoon sun. His brother was probably worried sick and undoubtedly angry at the young Nestrian's sudden act of running off. Nolan always was more sensible about things. Audric...Audric preferred to pursue action immediately. He didn't immediately go to violence as his salvation but he was more than ready to use it. Maybe just maybe he could intervene before something went wrong.

Samanthia...she'd kill him for abandoning her back at the border no doubt she probably was a mess right now. He'd have to apologize to his retainer for not bringing her along. She was a competent fighter but her lack of....grace may have slowed him down. Besides Sky Knights aren't something he remembered being stealthy enough to escape notice if the situation called for it. At worse someone would think him a glorified bandit. Anyone stupid enough to challenge him would be felled by his axe otherwise. He had to stop the war from breaking out it would cause so much suffering.

The young noble came to a sudden halt as he leaned against a tree collapsing to his knees breathing in and out deeply as he shook his head. "Gotta keep going...got to...get....got to get them to stop." Audric breathed in deeply as he quickly went to his side and grabbed his canteen and drink from it greedily. "I can do it...I have to try at the very least. If I don't then...then...no don't think about that keep going!" Audric said to himself as he leaned himself up against the tree steadying himself. He didn't want to fail...failure in this moment effected more than him. Some nobles wouldn't care...some nobles in Nestra would sit back and let this happen. What did a neutral country risk at trying to stop this insanity. He had only caught wind of the capture of Corrin due to the mere fact that he had met a merchant on the way here telling him that a man in Nohrian finery was in Hoshido. Let alone the mess that had happened a couple days earlier. Why...why had Lady Mikoto...damn it! He never met the woman...but he knew her as a passionate and beloved lady of Hoshido. Then why....why did she have to die at a time like this!?

Audric kept running. He kept running because he knew he had no choice in the matter. He ran because his heart demanded it. He ran and ran but he didn't know if it would pay off in the end.

====

The time span had been short a week and a half since Corrin had gone missing. Nohr had marshaled their forces under the command of Prince Xander of Nohr. Corrin the young Prince had reappeared in Hoshido...with disastrous results. Between the apparent capture of the young Nohrian/Hoshidan Prince and the border incident causing relations to tumble into a black abyss at the Bottomless Canyon. The Nohrian Army had set out on a march towards Hoshido and were approaching a river crossing near the border between the two nations.

Corrin the fated brother of both families is unaware of this but his presence will make all the difference soon enough. Ryoma had set out with a small army of his own Hoshidan forces leaving behind his retainers and allies. His intentions are to destroy Xander's men before they get near Hoshido. The dull orange sun in the sky flutters around as fate makes it's inevitable move towards the end of the feud between the Sun Born Kingdom and the Sacred Kingdom of Darkness.

However...fate itself seems to be unwinding as things rush towards an unsatisfactory ending for all parties about to be involved in this conflict. Hoshidan...Nohrian....all will feel the sting of the branch of destiny that is about to break.

Fire Emblem Fates - The Ocean's Silent Waves

The Branch of Fate and the world itself hinged on a young man with white hair and a good heart. Corrin was the center piece of everything. Raised in Nohr too a family who loved him despite the darkness surrounding the world his siblings were raised in. The constant struggle of living in a home that was all too closed off made him close to all four of his siblings. It was a deep love that forged the Nohr siblings to their adopted brother. But he was not of Nohr's heritage but of a kingdom far away a rival known as Hoshido. What Hoshido was is a direct opposite of it's rival. Bountiful, beautiful, and graceful the kingdom stood a beacon of light in the ever looming darkness content in their own ways. Corrin grew to love his birth family be it Ryoma the stalwart older brother, or Sakura the kind if not shy younger sister. Even Hinoka the prideful older sister and Takumi the stern and brash second prince. In the short time he knew them he found a new life he could hope to be a part of. However it was not to last.

The choice between Birthrights and love or Conquest and Lies...it was a odd road for one so young as he was. Torn between loyalty to all he ever knew instilled into him by his big brother whom himself was guided by a dark path, Xander, reached out to his beloved prince asking for his help. In contrast Hoshido's Ryoma the proud noble Prince of Hoshido and future king grabbed his young brother's other hand and demanded he come with him to protect the people and to right a wrong done on their family.

But what if the Branch of Fate broke off? What if Corrin didn't survive that fateful day at the crossroads between Nohr and Hoshido? What would've became of both nations? What if Corrin in his heart jumped into the fight between Xander and Ryoma...and was felled in the process?

This roleplay will explore a path where men and women from both sides fight to unify the lands torn from war. Refusing to help either side instead vowing the unite both lands by force and love? This path will be led by a young noble from Cyrkensia of Nestra a young warrior going by the name of Audric. He is not chosen by fate but he seeks to remove the hatred by both sides peacefully or not. He witnessed the death of Corrin first hand that fateful day and he was inspired to follow the ideals set along by the naive prince. Not marked for fate, or destiny, or even blood this young man seeks a path too find a true peace. Will he be able to achieve it or will he fall too weak to grasp at the power that Corrin would've been able to? Will Nohr and Hoshido fight too a blood conclusion with one side a broken victor? Or will the young noble's misfit band be able to convince them too unite together? Perhaps even uncover a darker underbelly that is guiding this whole escapade?

FAQ/Rules:
1. This will be a roleplay with a standard of adept roleplaying. I'm not expecting an overwhelming amount of detail but I do expect effort to be put into characterization. Three sentences do not make a personality, or a bio in my eyes.

2. There will be no stats unless you personally want to make up a set for a character. I don't know how to work them into a text based roleplay.

3. You may be from Hoshido or Nohr but not Valla or any of the deep realms.

4. This story will be a mix between Conquest and Birthright with canon characters appearing but none of them will stick with the main group. Xander and Ryoma will be the boss characters for Nohr and Hoshido as reoccurring enemies. There will be spoilers for Birthright and Conquest through the story.

5. Dragons are off the board as there are no other dragons present in the game as units but Corrin and his children throughout the game. Wolfskin and Kitsune are allowed.

6. You may not start out as a promoted class. I will allow one 'jeigan' archetype if a player wishes to fulfill that role.

7. The removed magical archetype of 'Light' will be present through this story. Monks and bishops will show up and they will contrast the dark mages. This is a personal choice of mine as I view the removal of Light from the recent games to be really unfair in some regards. You may also play the pirate class

8. You may be from a noble family that is not the royal family. In other words you can be someone from a well off or respected lineage or even a courtier of one of the families but you can't be related to Xander, Ryoma, Takumi, etc.

9. Custom Classes aren't allowed for simplicity's sake.

10. The roleplay will start off on the Branch of Fate and will progress on from there. At the base minimum there will be three characters that will be with us from the start: My character the unnamed noble who will be the pseudo main character of the story, a samurai from Hoshido, and a villager from Nohr. You may pick a samurai or a villager still these two are simply going to be story important NPC's who will grant insight into their respective realms when there is no one else who can.

That'd be useful for healing early on but just so you know Monks rank up into either sage, or bishop which both have staves. So when, or if, we get to the point where we promote then we'll have a healer. Still glad to have you onboard.

Just so everyone knows the current cast is the following: A Axe Lord (hector lord), a monk (light magic), a outlaw (bows), and a healer/Dark Mage.

We have the minimum amount of people now so I'll make the OOC later tonight. New people will still be accepted.

sure go ahead.

I can see that. Sorry to ask that of you but for all I know you're a returning user or you have some friends on another site you could ask. Just didn't want to not ask in case.
