Is Genealogy really such a hard game? Definitely one of the least frustrating due to its save system and I found throwing Forsetti or Sigurd at most of my problems a fair solution. (Or any of the more OP units second generation) I feel if your idea is to make FE4 more welcoming to western FE players, you should try and use some its core philosophies found in post FE7 and balance what you buff with nerfs. For example, you could nerf the holy weapons to make them more like the GBA titles, where they only give slight buffs instead of bloody insane ones. Just an idea, I personally think there is enjoyment to be had out of FE4's gameplay, not just the story.

Not trolling, but what would they even do instead of children? I mean in the case of doing something along the line of children units. Pets? We all know how low IS can stoop, I wouldn't be surprised.

I feel like calling Faye a good character is a stretch. Maybe if she was given time to develop or if we saw more of her character she would have worked. SoV however gives her hardly any time to really develop as a character. Her supports with Silque don't really tell us anything about Faye that we don't already know other than she is pretty cold. We get very little backstory to really explain what the hell is wrong with her. You could say by evidence that the prologue to SoV scarred her (and probably Kliff as well) but she probably needed another support to actually expand on her feelings. If IS wanted to make Faye the 'anti-Camilla' they would have approached her in a comedic fashion, like they did with the trailer and mocking the pair up feature. In actuality, Faye is a character that is designed for us to pity her, but they give us no reason to really do so. Like Camilla and Tharja, she is just creepy and fanservice. She needed more time to actually shine.

Just wanted to say I am actually really enjoying this little hack! It doesn't change too much, but it's refreshing enough that it returned my almost forgotten love for Sacred Stones! On chapter 5 now, I think your changes to Seth are what make this so enjoyable. : )

I have Fury and her C rank in staves. >.> Yeah, maybe you're right. I was panicking because I didn't want to give away Fin or any of the dancers. :P

Ethlin and Lachesis

House Lorielle of Celenia Wilhelm clutched onto his tome tightly, though it was quite light for something that felt so powerful. The soldiers trailed behind him steadily, the party eventually arriving at the scene of battle. A couple of arrows shot by, Wilhelm and co. taking quick cover behind the alleyway. Wilhelm couldn't believe it, the destruction and the total mayhem the place was in. His teeth clenched and he motioned all his men into the battle. The Myrimdion quickly fixated his time into a nearby fighter, quickly gaining the edge over the axe user, speedily dealing with the threat. His other two units took notice of the iron blade mercenary, they attempted to finish him off in two quick attacks, one from the Javelin and the other from a steel lance, but their efforts weren't quite enough. Clutching onto the book, Wilhelm jumped into the duo's battle, firing light from the sky with his Thani tome. The merceanry, well, what was left of him was now nothing but a scorched corpse on the ground. The light burned his eyes slightly, but Wilhelm was able to catch back onto his vision. Alena would work her way more so into the fret, catching the attention of two fighters who took notice of her. Though their attack stung, it was hardly enough to puncture her armour. Units Killed: 1 Mercenary / Iron Blade Current 'Ally' units: 2 Soldiers: One Healthy, the other damaged severely. Weapon: One has a javelin, the other a Steel Lance 1 Myrmidon: Healthy. Weapon: Iron Sword Main Units: Wilhelm (Acolyte): Healthy. Weapons: Thani, Light Alena (Knight): Scratched. Weapons: Iron Lance

Adean and Ares

"My Lord! Please, come quick! T-The town, it's under attack!" Alena rushed into the estate doors, shoving past each and every guard. Sweat dripped down her forehead, it was unusual for her. Wilhelm slowly batted a brow, setting the phase down, the one his mother asked him to set on the counter. His demeanor hardly changed, as there was no need to worry. "The guards? Can't they handle this, they always do." Wilhelm said slowly, turning to face his retainer. Though she didn't looked panicked, there was unrest in her eyes. "That's the thing... The bandits, don't ask me how... They've made it into the walls. If we don't act soon we'll be burnt to the ground!" Wilhelm's eyes widened. Their walls, they had never been broken into before, not since they were built five years ago. The guards would always boast about how impenetrable they were, making lewd jokes of the sort. But here it was, broken and they were under attack, so suddenly as well. Something was suspicious, something that made Wilhelm's spine rattle with the possibilities. "Damn... Let us sortie then, we have no time to waste!" Wilhelm said, running towards one of the guards. "Go get Garret quick, have him protect the entrance to the estate... The rest of you, Alena, let us go... We can't let this get out of hand." Some of the soldier's looked around at each other, as if Wilhelm going was something idiotic, but they chose not the question it. They too were worried and for many of them, their priest was a glimmer of hope. They followed Wilhelm as he rushed out the door, 2 carrying lances, the other carrying a sword. They made it a couple of meters out the door, before Wilhelm was stopped by a familiar voice. "Wilhelm... Dear, please wait..." It was his Mother. She had a melancholy look in her eyes, holding a golden book. "Mother go back inside, it's not safe for you... And... What is that you're holding?" "B-before you go... Take it, I wanted to give it you for your birthday... But this situation calls for it." She held out the book, the cover shining in the light. It had a weird insignia written on it and one could almost feel its aura. "Thank you Mother... I'll use it well." Wilhelm responded, taking the book and reading the text. It read: 'Thani,' a tome he had never heard of before. His Mother began to tear up, Garret, their strongest warrior coming right behind her, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Come back... Safe, alright? Me and your Father, we get so lonely when you're gone. I-I don't know what I'd do if we lost you." Wilhelm closed his eyes, nodding a bit. "I will... Don't worry... Lets go, we must be quick now!" He said, turning to his small group of fighters, who let out a small cheer. The group set off down the hill that protected the estate, making their way down to the residential area of the town, ready to engage in the fight. Current 'Ally' units: 2 Soldiers: Both Healthy. Weapon: One has a javelin, the other a Steel Lance 1 Myrmidon: Healthy. Weapon: Iron Sword Main Units: Wilhelm (Acolyte): Health. Weapons: Thani, Light Alena (Knight): Healthy. Weapons: Iron Lance

I think I'll just go with one Retainer, I don't really have any good ideas for another one- I Hope that is okay.

Thanks for the list, Horace. Sorry about this guys, I should've been paying closer attention. I hope this is too big of an inconvenience! (Believe you're up when you get back, Zas.)

Name: Alena [spoiler= Appearance] Gender: Female Race: Human Class: Knight Age: 26 Weapon: Iron Lance Personality: Alena is more of a motherly figure, who is always trying to look after everyone else. She hates the sight of those in pain and will do anything to prevent her allies and lord from getting hurt. She is incredibly honorable and fights by a set of strong rules and despises those who are undisciplined in their ways. Alena is an incredibly introvert and is often found by herself. She's incredibly awkward and struggles to understand other's emotions. Backstory: Alena grew up in the same village as Wil and was one of the orphans he played with when he was young. As Alena was 4 years his senior, she often did her best to protect him from the evils in the world. At the age of 17 she joined the guard and served to fend bandits off from their village, but was always sure to give Wil a visit back at the church and be his crutch when he needed her. When the wars cooks up, it is Alena who offers to accompany to him on his journey. Even though Wil declined her request, she came along anyway. Role: Retainer Talents: Painting, Long distance runner, Good at Math and History and can read exceptionally well. Skills: Fun Fact: Alena doesn't seem to ever show signs of fatigue or tiredness.

Accidentally posted, nvm

Yeah, this is my first serious draft sooo... >.> Oops I guess... In retrospect I should've given out Ares or one of the shittier mothers instead of all those fathers.

I would appreciate it! :) I could probably just take religion out of it and replace it with your celestial idea. Shouldn't make a huge difference.

Oops, my bad. Thank you.

Name: Wilhelm Lorielle [spoiler=Appearance] (Yes, he's a dude. He's got Lucius syndrome. o.o') (And here is what he wears, don't mind the face. >.>) Gender: Male Race: Human Age: 22 Class: Acolyte Weapon: Thani (and if that's not okay I'll start off with a Divine) Personality: Wilhelm is a rather laid back and patient individual. He rarely is ever phased by anger and often comes off as a priest-like fellow with his peaceful and helpful demeanor. However, his desire to help everyone leads to his biggest downfall. He must always do the righteous thing even if it hurts himself in the process. He is always very against getting help from mercenaries or anyone that seems suspicious and can be very unforgiving to those who have committed wrong doings. Wilhelm is a rather outgoing guy and enjoys to socialize amongst the army. Backstory: Wilhelm is the third child of the well-regarded priest Simon, who was often referred to the Archbishop of the Celestials. For all his life he had been raised under the idea of the celestial's and their origins. Wilhelm was especially close with his older siblings: his older brother Klaus and his year older sister Cerise. His fondest memory includes them playing in the backyard of the church along with the orphan's his father and mother raise adamantly. He was raised quite well and his father eventually reached lord status when Wilhelm turned 14 years old. By this time Wilhelm was already notorious for taking the church over at a young age, but his sister and brother had vanished, on the search for adventure. Wilhelm did all he could to stop them, they even offered to take him along, but he refused and stayed home at the church, helping his sick father and depressed mother. With a rather lacking family, Wilhelm took up light magic in order to help protect the town he was raised in, becoming quite good because of his close connection to god. With the uprising of a new guild, Wilhelm was called fourth for his skills. Leaving his best retainer behind, he took one of his close friends along to fight the war, though reluctantly. Role: Lord Talents: Light magic, knowledge of the Celestials, sewing, cooking, singing and taking care of children. Skills: Charisma and Miracle Fun Fact: Sleeps better on the hard ground rather than a bed.

Their battle outfits in Path of Radiance make no practical sense... (Seriously Mia, how do you fight in a dress so tight... And Nephenee, put on some pants please, it's snowing outside and you're wearing that!)
