This started as a self-indulgent fic where I put Cynthia in Fates that spiraled into something more. At this point, I’ve brainstormed classes, created some characters, and come up with a new plot for Revelation. The storyline goes a little like this:
Cynthia/Sumiko gets portaled into Hoshido and she eventually becomes a Kinshi Knight under Hinoka’s command (was looking for trio, thinks she’s in the wrong place)
When Corrin chooses neither side, Hinoka sends Sumiko to watch after Corrin from a distance
Sumiko follows them into the Bottomless Canyon and ends up stranded there
Using skills from childhood, she survives the largely empty lands until she’s found by Jai (Vallite OC) who takes her home with him to the capital
It turns out he and his mother, Pai, are spies for a resistance army that want to free the land from Anankos
She spends some time with them in the capital before getting caught as an outsider
The three make an epic escape to the resistance
Here, Cynthia/Sumiko gains the Bombadier class (Tome/Yumi, flying)
Jai (Mystic Fighter, Rod/Club, Infantry) and Pai (Sabateur, Lance/Dagger, Flying) are on patrol when they see Scarlett fall
Jai heals Scarlett with Wane Festival and the two resistance members meet Corrin
Cynthia/Sumiko come in on the next map
Ananya (Mystic Elephant, Tome/Lance, Elephant), the resistance leader, and her second (War Elephant, Lance/Club, Elephant) join on the next
Lilith (Manakete, Dragonstone) is saved and playable
I have growths, base stats, and max stats for each class I listed and a dozen more class ideas without. While I know it will be difficult, I also want to try to find a way to add unique skills for each of the classes. I already have the following for Bombardier:
Stoop [5]: unit moves forward one space to attack, moves back after
Superior Range [15]: If outside of enemy’s range, hit +20, crit +10, damage +5
Long story short, I've downloaded Paragon and have found myself a little out of my depth but very excited. The idea isn't completely fleshed out, but I'd love to get some input/opinions from people who feel more strongly about Revelation gameplay and such. (I would also be really thrilled if Cynthia/Sumiko was integrated in the other routes too, but that's not strictly necessary for the project concept.
