[Information Topic for] Fire Emblem: Poem of Secrecy

[Snowy_One]

Both of those sound like they'd be way OP and since when are there vampires in FE?

Nosferatu

[Rapier]

My idea may be quite a bit out of ordinary, so warn me if I should try with something less edgy

Name: Dougal

Age: 24

Class: Shaman

Weapon Levels: Rank E on Anima (can only use the most basic level fire tome, and nothing else), Rank D on Dark
Inventory: A backpack made of leather where he stuffs his provisions: A single vulnerary, a fire tome with most of its pages torn or burned, and a hidden, intact Nosferatu tome hidden within the cluster. He prefers to keep part of his money on his pants pockets while another part is kept on hidden pockets inside his robe.
Appearance: A tall and slim fair young man, with long, dark hair that reaches the end of his long neck, and soft and subdued ebony black eyes. Most assume from his bony fingers and cheekbones that he is older than he says. He wears a grey shirt bellow the concealing dark green robe, which is long enough to reach his knees and serves to hide his face when he raises his hood, long and black pants that go all the way to his feet, and simple brown shoes.

Biography: Dougal was born to a family of mages in Plegia. Not ordinary mages, but shamans devoted to the cult of Grima, some of the remnants of the war from sixty years ago. His mother comes from a long line of Grimleal descendants, her grandparents some of the devoted that sacrificed themselves for their dark god as he was summoned into this world, whereas his father was a Plegian soldier before being induced to abandon his service and leave all his past ties aside to live with the woman he loved. Even since his youth, Dougal had been taught about their cult, the truth of Grima and his return to the world when the time comes once again, about the effects of herbs and plants and how to make a concoction or a poison out of them, about the ancient arts dubbed as 'dark magic' which allowed him to drain the lifeforce from other living beings and absorb it to his own, the history of Plegia and Ylisse and how the latter persecuted the Grimleal and brought death upon the former. He was raised to follow Grima as his mother before him, to spread the word of his religion, and prepare for his coming, all the while his surroundings fed him with contempt for Ylissians and followers of Naga.

As he grew older, however, he started to see the Grimleal's actions and cruelty, and even came to doubt their codes and beliefs. The first time he started becoming skeptical toward their own community was when a group of Grimleal had forced him into participating in an ambush of an passing trade caravan that crossed the desert connecting Plegia to Ylisse, where the group captured the traders and mercenaries accompanying the wagon, distributed their goods among the cultists, brought hostages back to their encampment and sacrificed their lives in a pyre during a ritual. Their cruelty, blind devotion and apocalyptical preaching gave him enough courage and repulse to engage his parents about their lives and the meaning of the cult of the Grimleal, which led to him being reprimanded and ordered not to speak about it ever again, especially around other members of the cult, for he could very well be part of a sacrifice should they find a heathen among the society.

He relutantly obeyed, until his coming of age cerimony drew close. Deciding that he could no longer obey their orders and swear loyalty to their codes and beliefs during the rite, he packed his backpack with his belongings and left while the encampment was sleeping, crossing the desert all the way to Ylisse, where he knew he would not be found by any of the Grimleal, where he knew nothing would remind him of his past life - even if it meant living inside the country he was taught to hold in contempt. Dougal worked enough to make enough money for an application in a college of mages, where he trained to master the arts of Anima magic. His lack of aptitude led him to become a mediocre magician, yet it was better than tapping into the ancient magic that he had been taught about during his childhood - anything was better than that. However, the positive parts of his past still haunted him, reminding him that he had forsaken his parents, that he would pay the price for his treason. Not even the passing years served as a remedy for his growing paranoia and nostalgia.

When he received the offer to serve as an escort for someone who wished to cross the Plegia-Ylissian border, he decided to relutanctly accept the deal, part of him reminding of Plegia and home. Even if the thought of coming too close to the Grimleal once more was haunting, Dougal knew he would not find peace of mind until he settled his issues with his own past, and avoiding a problem was not how he was supposed to overcome it.

What about Dark Lord Ghandi or Vampire Queen Elizabeth?

I have no idea what your idea of decent is but neither of these is mine. At least not in a Fire Emblem setting.

[Rapier]

Vampire Queen Elizabeth probably comes from some Helsing fanfic or something.

@ Haon, Snowy_One, Dragoncat, Empoleon77, Rapier, and Winter,

All of your applications have been accepted. I will be posting the introduction to the RP in the next few hours.

@ Dragoncat: I forgot about the Taguel. I am glad you made the application and reminded me.

@ Winter: You can definitely have a male troubadour.

Once I post the introduction, feel free to introduce your characters. I will update this topic once a week to give out levels and items. Feel free to use this thread to discuss the RP out of character.

[SirNicee]

Not sure if you're still accepting, but... (also if you see an unfinished variant on this, it means I'm having some troubles with the post editor)

Name: Katherine
Age: 19
Class: Archer
Weapon Levels: D (in bows, of course)
Inventory: Steel Bow, Vulnerary
Appearance:

Katherine's appearance is filled in youth. Her hair is a dark brown, a tad messy and long, and her skin is somewhat pale. Her eyes are a rather bright shade of green, always wide open. Along with all this, she has a small birthmark under her right eye in the shape of a pear. She's got a relatively plain shirt on, colored gray, with a red vest and a shoulder guard on one shoulder and a quiver on her back. She is always seen wearing the same leather belt around her waist, along with very plain leather shoes and pants. Overall, she looks rather plain. Still, it's fitting.

Biography:

Katherine is a village girl from a small town near Ylisstol. Her family was always filled with gravediggers, and she's no different. She's been burying people since she was eight. Always having to deal with corpses has left her a bit... different. For example, she suddenly asked to learn archery when she was thirteen, and has always had that quiver on her back since. Because of this, she's worked a number of odd jobs, including mercenary work. How did this happen? One day, she saw a wanted poster and suddenly decided "I want that to be my job. Just... doing the law's work." And ultimately, that's what she decided to do. She's been balancing her job with her gravedigging ever since.

When do we start?

[Shaman]

I apologize for the delay. I realize that my post took more than just a few hours.

@ A Nice Guy: Thank you very much for the submission. I have already exceeded my limit by having 6 people instead of 5. I recommend that you keep an eye on the RP in case someone drops out early.

[Thany]

seems like this is already filled up, oh well, i wish i would of been able to join it... but since i have yet to do a fourm roleplay... or have any experiance with it... id be a bit to nervous to sign in anyway...

[Shaman]

I am sorry about not having any more space in the RP. Do not be nervous about signing up for an RP though. Role-playing is good writing practice, and is fun. You gain experience by trying. There is no reason why you should hold yourself back from joining other RPs on the forum.
