Day 4: Calm Horseman Name: Pollux Class: Lance Knight (promotes to Paladin) Appearance: Pollux has shaggy brown hair that hangs over his eyes somewhat (think Lowen). He is tall and slender, with poor posture. He wears emerald armor, and is eighteen years old. Description: Pollux, like his brother, Castor, is a new Acleian knight. He greatly looks up to Oberon and other veteran knights, and aspires to greatness, but lacks self-confidence. He is quiet and reserved, but is quite skilled with a lance. Plot and Motivation: Pollux serves under Oberon as his trainee. He fights out of a sense of duty, rather than a personal attachment to the cause. Growth Rates: (total to 290, same as Kent) HP: 80% Attack: 40% Skill: 45% Speed: 35% Luck: 20% Defense: 45% Resistance: 25% Constitution: 8 Movement: 7 Affinity: Light Weapon Ranks: D Lances Joins at level 1. Recruitment: Automatic at the start of Chapter 2 Starting Inventory: Iron Lance, Javelin, Vulnerary Death Quote: Pollux: "Castor, I did my best..." Castor: (if recruited) "Pollux, no!" Notes: The tankier cavalier. Slower than Pollux, but has more defense and HP. Don't have much else to say here: pretty simple unit.

Day 3: Brash Horseman Name: Castor Class: Bow Knight (promotes to Ranger) Appearance: Castor has deep brown hair in a buzz cut. He is tall and muscular, and wears deep orange armor. He is twenty-three years old. Description: Castor is a new Acleian knight who is extremely confident in his skills as an archer. His bark is worse than his bite, however, and he has thus been stationed on the border with Acelia's ally, the Lamostran Union. His ego is unmatched, and he thinks himself an ideal ladies man. Plot and Motivation: Castor fights to assist his younger brother, Pollux, who is far more loyal to Acleia itself. He also fights in order to gain the attention and love of Thalia, whom he wishes to court. Though Castor is typically somewhat of a nuisance to be around for most, he protects Pollux with all his strength. Growth Rates: (total to 290, same as Sain) HP: 70% Str: 50% Skl: 25% Spd: 45% Luck: 50% Def: 30% Res: 20% Constitution: 11 Movement: 7 Affinity: Fire Weapon Ranks: D Bows Joins at Level 3. Recruitment: Talk with Pollux, Chapter 2 Starting Inventory: Iron Bow, Vulnerary Death Quote: Castor: "I suppose you'll have a hard time without me..." Pollux: "Brother!" Castor: "Pollux... live for the both of us..." Notes: Look forward to Pollux tomorrow! I gave Castor low skill and high luck to represent his character: don't know if that'll give him Dart's accuracy problems later on, though, considering he's a growth unit. Oh well. At least he won't get crit...?

I looked at everything that made Eliwood underwhelming (i.e. no 2 range, relatively spread-out growths) and got rid of it. I'm guessing she'll have a somewhat late forced promotion, but ideally earlier than other lords, because that's always a pain in the butt. Thanks for the complements on making her good! And now it's Day 2: Veteran Name: Oberon Class: Mage Knight (prepromoted, obviously) Appearance: Oberon has somewhat long blonde hair, and wears robes inscribed with arcane sigils. He is somewhat short, but not overly fat. He is forty-seven years old. Description: Oberon is Thalia's retainer and a retired captain of the Acleian guard. He was one of the most powerful soldiers in Acleia, but, due to his scholarly nature, retired from the army and entered the service of the royal family. Oberon is a somewhat stoic advisor to Thalia, giving her sound tactical advice, but worries about her ambition and lack of compassion, trying to help her see the good in others. Plot and Motivation: Pretty self explanatory: He's loyal to the royal family and doesn't take kindly to the usurper Lawrence, though his motivations are more selfless than Thalia's, wishing to free the people from his harsh rule. Growth Rates: (total to 250, same total as FE7 Marcus) HP: 55% Magic: 45% Skill: 40% Speed: 40% Luck: 20% Defense: 20% Resistance: 30% Constitution: 8 Movement: 7 Affinity: Anima Weapon Ranks: A Anima, C Staves. Recruitment: N/A, joins automatically in Chapter 1 Starting Inventory: Elfire, Fire, Heal Staff Death Quote: "Thalia, how I wish I could live to see your victory..." Notes: I've always wanted a magic Jagen. I would've given him a higher staff rank, but I didn't want a unit capable of warping given to you in Chapter 1, but I didn't want it to be overly a hassle to get to that point, so I gave him access to Barrier.

Day One: Lord Name: Thalia Class: Lord (standard, sword wielding protagonist). Promotes into a cavalier lord, gaining a mount and access to lances. Appearance: Thalia is a girl of average physique, with shoulder-length red hair and fair skin. She wears formal clothing befitting of her high status (I envision it like Morag from Xenoblade Chronicles 2). She is twenty-five years old. Description: Thalia is the crown princess of Acleia, and acts with grace and formality befitting of her station. She is incredibly mature and competent, and resists the help of others in order to assert her capability. She lacks compassion, and only really wishes to help out her country to gain prestige. Plot and Motivation: Acleia had been in a trade war with its neighboring country of Sadan for many years, but only recently was the queen, Thalia's mother, assassinated, and she was forced to flee the capital in the turmoil. Her uncle, Lawrence, took over as regent, and prevented Thalia from returning to Acleia, allowing him to enact a tyrannical rule. Thalia thus gathers a group of her most trusted retainers and allies to take back what is her right, and uncover the truth behind Lawrence's betrayal. Growth Rates: (total to 325, same total as Eliwood) HP: 70% Attack: 45% Skill: 65% Speed: 50% Luck: 30% Defense: 45% Resistance: 20% Constitution: 6 Movement: 6 Affinity: Thunder Weapon Ranks: D Swords Recruitment: N/A Starting Equipment: Thunder Sword (PRF, Stats of a Thunder Tome, 40 Uses, targets resistance but halves MT when attacking at 2 range), Iron Sword, Vulnerary Unpromoted Death Quote: "I can't go on..." Promoted Death Quote: "I've failed everyone... so this is my fate." Notes: I imagine this as a GBA Fire Emblem game, thus why I included stuff like affinity and con, and didn't give her a magic growth. Thalia's a bit of a twist on the standard fire emblem lord, being less compassionate and more of a tactician. Statswise, she isn't particularly unique, but her personality is intended to contrast with goody two-shoes types like Corrin and Eliwood.

I'm no artist, but I am an amateur writer, and this sounds pretty cool! I think I'll save this for when I have more time, and I'll see what comes out of it! (Hopefully something good)

Unit Update as of Chapter 27: Guy: 15/5.55, 39 HP, 14 Str, 20 Skl, 22 Spd, 10 Luck, 11 Def, 6 Res (no statboosters), S Swords Priscilla: 10/10.10, 39 HP, 16 Mag, 13 Skl, 14 Spd, 14 Luck, 6 Def, 14 Res (used angelic robe and speedwings), C Tomes, A Staves Kent: 18/12.92, 46 HP, 19 Str, 23 Skl, 19 Spd, 12 Luck, 14 Def, 9 Res (used goddess icon), C Swords, S Lances, E Axes Hawkeye: ??/11.20, 54 HP, 20 Str, 18 Skl, 14 Spd, 17 Luck, 15 Def, 12 Res (no statboosters), S Axes Hector: 20, 37 HP, 17 Str, 13 Skl, 12 Spd, 7 Luck, 18 Def, 3 Res (no statboosters), A Axes Matthew: 13.53, 25 HP, 4 Str, 8 Skl, 18 Spd, 9 Luck, 6 Def, 3 Res (no statboosters), B Swords Ninian: (exists, I suppose) I, again, don't have turn counts by chapter, but I can safely say I'm losing this one. Choosing Matthew was a big mistake since he got strength screwed (-3!) and couldn't damage anything. My other units are all fairly serviceable (Priscilla got screwed in some stats but fe7 enemies are weak so it's fine), and Hawkeye and Kent carried most chapters on their very capable shoulders. For my first competitive draft, it's going great, though!

Didn't watch videos: What happened to Dorcas?

I haven't been recording my individual chapter turn counts, but I'll give my unit stats as of the start of Chapter 17. Hector: 8.02, 25 HP, 11 Str, 7 Skl, 6 Spd, 5 Luck, 10 Def, 1 Res Guy: 9.12, 25 HP, 7 Str, 13 Skl, 15 Spd, 6 Luck, 6 Def, 2 Res Matthew: 8.30, 21 HP, 4 Str, 8 Skl, 15 Spd, 6 Luck, 5 Def, 1 Res Kent: 6.00, 24 HP, 8 Str, 8 Skl, 9 Spd, 5 Luck, 6 Def, 2 Res Priscilla: 3.96, (hasn't quite leveled up yet, so she just has her bases) Hector and Guy are both slightly below average, Matthew's gotten strength Screwed (but that isn't overly surprising), and Kent's one level up was pretty solid. I'm going to be transparent: I haven't done much LTC before, so this is really hard, stressful, and fun! I'm looking forward to the later chapters!

Since General Horace mentioned earlier that he wanted Jaffar if Wil and Rebecca were taken, I'll put him down for Jaffar and I'll (be forced to) take Renault. This is going to be something.

Sorry for the delay: I'll take Guy and Harken. Accordingly, Horace gets Rebecca.

No, it isn't your turn for a bit.

Matthew and Hawkeye

It's okay this time. You also get another pick, since this starts round 3 of drafting.

Kubson, it isn't your turn yet. Finalinsanity drafts first. Also, when it does become your turn, you get to pick two units.

No average stats patch. I'm taking Priscilla and Kent.
