Preferably things other than dialogue, but I guess whatever works. "I'm here to give thanks to Saint Fluffy, my lord and savior." Sometimes you just gotta go. (I did not capture him in this pose on purpose. I had heard he had a ponytail and I was looking for it and he took that opportunity to drain his lizard.)

And the award for best comment goes to!

I'm flattered.

It amazes me that I go on Behind the Name and find cool ones with meanings and everybody's like DeRp KyLe

If they were ever in a state where they could go back and forth and it was natural, yes.

And you missed the edit.

"Officer Bob! There's marijuana growing here!" - Some girls in health class in high school when we had to do skits on various risky situations. Don't ask.

Some are mine. The answer is no if they're mine, sorry.

And thread has been multipurposed! I'm sorry for the lack of male options in the ship poll, may I have you know that Alois is already married and Cyril is a good age gap...Seteth is Seteth, eh. Reasoning for Catherine: And now you know what inspired the thread when it was just a name thread.

Well he IS a good boy.

Any reasoning behind Elm?

THIS IS NOW A GATEKEEPER APPRECIATION THREAD as well as a name and ship thread! #NothingToReport Names: I've seen Durward suggested here on SF and also went on Behind the Name for a couple more. @Purple Mage likes Kyle. I'm going for Madoc myself. I like the sound of it, and he was "fortunate" to survive the timeskip. Ships: Click me or scroll down.

I headcanon male Byleth has his sperm count halved, while female Byleth is slightly more fertile than average KassieYesterday at 10:13 PM Oh interesting How come? DragoncatYesterday at 10:13 PM Sothis' presence Female goddess + male vessel = confused system and testosterone cuts Female goddess + female vessel = double whammy KassieYesterday at 10:17 PM Ooh! That makes a lot of sense :meowopenmouth: DragoncatYesterday at 10:17 PM It's particularly annoying to him when he wants a kid He has to take vitamins lol But when that kid is born, he sees it as nothing short of a miracle KassieYesterday at 10:18 PM Awww :ameowhappypaws: DragoncatYesterday at 10:19 PM I even figured Jeralt would send a robin down with a flower in its beak, the same flower that was his wife's fav, as a "Dad's here and he's proud" for Byleth to look out the window and see during the birth A robin. Orange belly to match the orange tunic Doop Poke. Sorry if I seem impatient lol but I want you to reply before I go to bed because that last bit is dawww KassieYesterday at 10:30 PM Awww That's super cute :heart: DragoncatYesterday at 10:34 PM Female Byleth can see it walking out of the infirmary KassieYesterday at 10:34 PM :pikasparkle: DragoncatYesterday at 10:35 PM It's probably sweeter with male Byleth tho, since he's hindered "I'm about to meet...my very own miracle. Dad, I wish you were here for this." glances out the window sees it smiles KassieYesterday at 10:36 PM OMG Yeah Cuteeee

1: The shapeshifters have it built into their biology and keep their soul, versus go beast and you're gone. 2: There was a "manakete" race that the Immaculate One was, I think.

I hate Camilla.

Uhhhhh Cats and Dogs.

Thanks.

Where does it say Sylvain hit on Ingrid's grandma? Ping me or quote me please.

I once wanted to make a fangame where laguz each got two weapons to choose from, like beasts would get claws and fangs for example. Shapeshifters have never been boring to me, because come on they turn into awesome animals and I love having giant battle critters. Fair points you made though. Well, now imagine if they were more important in the lore? Or like, playable Nabateans that shift in the field?

That would be neat! NPCs like Hannah and Old Hubba probably count, to add.

Oh I see. I had forgotten about this.

The Agarthans were creating unnatural ones. The people that became demon beasts couldn't shift back and lost their souls basically. That's different. I think what you mean is the Nabateans, the dragon race Rhea belongs to.

I'm thinking this too. I mean, they can lean toward a certain human nation, but Byleth is special. Also, if it wasn't clear, they can only become those four animals listed. Avarians can't become lynxes for example.

Had a conversation with @Hawkwing today regarding how Three Houses could have handled shapeshifters. He brought up that with the school setting, the shapeshifters could learn multiple forms. I said that might work, although one that can go hawk and tiger might be OP, or make no sense. This is what I came up with: Avarians: feathered wings in human form, can fly. Can learn eagle, owl, vulture, and raven forms. Most loyal to the Adrestian Empire. Weak against bows. Felarians: cat ears and tails in human form. Can learn lion, tiger, cheetah, and lynx forms. Most loyal to the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus. Weak against magic. Cervarians: deer ears and antlers (on males) in human form. Can learn deer, elk, moose, and antelope forms. Most loyal to the Leicester Alliance. Weak against anti cavalry weapons. Females kick instead of goring with the antlers they do not have. You'd have to recruit these to your house via paralogues/sidequests and you will probably only get one of each. I'm thinking the gender you get depends on your Byleth. For the avarian this doesn't do much in terms of aesthetics, but male lions have manes, male deer have antlers, females do not, so it would be different for the felarian and cervarian. The gender of the shapeshifter is the opposite of your Byleth's. Storywise, these shapeshifters began appearing when the three houses of Garreg Mach formed, since they are basically the house mascots. Yet they are illusive and keep mostly to themselves. What do you all think?
