Asura

I haven't been here in so long because I've had like no free time these days because I've been playing Awakening constantly. Glad to see most people have managed to get their game by now! Asura is now a maxed out Warrior w/Galeforce, Sol, Luna, Renewal, and Aegis. And I'm still on chapter 16... so much grinding. Very likely to have at a skill activate every attack and practically invincible. Whahaha! Suck it, Streetpass bit- aw man, no one here has the game. T_T. Married Gregor, because he's too funny, and red-haired holy-shit-look-at-that-strength Morgan. Also, Swordmaster Olivia's like, the third strongest person in my army, behind Avatar and Morgan. Wow. Who knew the moe pink-haired dancer had it in her? I didn't grind her up significantly more than anyone else, either. Hard difficulty enemy Swordmasters, Heroes, Snipers, etc. = 0% hit chance. 8D @Max- Nah, now is just for fun. I'm totally gonna be one of those corrupt cops who takes bribes and uses her position to cover up her crimes. ...Quit looking at me like that. /joking. I AM JUSTICE. Haha, you beat me with a hug! I'm going to call you Max the Carebear from this point forth. ...Hey, I think I just found your nickname! Carebear Max and Ashe the Harbinger of Despair. OHMYGOD, WE TOTALLY HAVE TO MEET UP, YO! I'll be the best damn tour guide ever, and K will make you one of those drinks you've been talking about so much. Are you coming for school, or a vacation, or what? Oi! Where's my drawing, hermano?! Seriously hurting my feelings, here... BTW, today was K's birthday, so send her lotsa gifts!.

T_T I'm so sorry everyone! I was being a real jerk before, gushing about how I got the game, when some of you have to wait MONTHS to get it. You have my deepest sympathies, my buddies across the pond (and farther.) I hope you get yours soon, Chidokyo and Wheels! . @Murdok - Is GB maybe considering any world (or at least Europe) conquering? That would sure get everyone (primarily) speaking English. @Max - Hey! Depicting cops as always eating donuts is an insidious stereotype! If I become a cop and someone makes a crack like that, they're gonna get a punch in the groin! Oh, but I love donuts, what do I do?! Can't... conform...to stereotypes... any further... AWWWW. *HUG* @Warg - Ugh, that really sucks, dude. I couldn't get the bundle (and have my own 3DS) cause of money problems too. At least I can still play the game though. *pats you on the back sympathetically*

Hah! I really like this Olivia! I'm glad they made her a bit more confident and assertive. Maybe those lessons with Maribelle are paying off? (Also, Chrom X Frederick has been updated and is now complete. Oh god, one of my favorite supports so far. XD BTW, pichupal, Tarquin also put up Chrom X Lissa's A support.)

Cool, bro! Congrats~ (Wow, you were lucky!) I hope everyone else manages to get their copy soon. I've totally abandoned this place, heh. Now back to my self-induced exile~

Updated Chrom X Frederick with B support. Question for pichupal: should we be making a new post every time we update? Seems like it'll get crowded here pretty fast. ...I guess this is why you originally wanted us to post all supports at once, huh?

No time for a proper reply but I just had to tell you guuuys - WE GOT THE GAME EARLY! PLAYING IT RIGHT NOW! Don't feel bad guys, I'm not rubbing it in or anything. Whaha, my entire life has led up this moment~/hyperbole {And, fiiiine, I'll erase it. You guys are so sensitive.)

Chrom X Frederick! [spoiler=Chrom X Frederick][spoiler=C support] Frederick I've completed my patrol of the encampment, milord. All appears to be in order. I found no sign of the enemy nearby. I believe we are safe here for the night. Chrom Good to hear. Thank you, Frederick. Frederick While on my rounds, I took it upon myself to inspect our weaponry as well. I've placed any items that showed exceptional wear outside your pavilion. Be your choice to sell or repair them, sire. I recommend swift action. Chrom ...Oh. Well, you HAVE been busy... Your work ethic always impresses, Frederick. I almost feel lazy by comparison. Frederick Nonsense. I've done nothing more than my duty as a knight of Ylisse. Oh, and beg pardon, milord, but I noticed you often cause a ruckus when training. With that in mind, I reinforced the tents near any open areas you're like to use. Chrom Er, yes, I see. Sorry for the trouble. Frederick No trouble at all, milord. Happy to help. ...Also, with the nights growing colder, I procured blankets from a nearby village. I've readied a variety of colors so you might pick that which best suits you. If I may be so bold, sire, peach would seem to best flatter your complexion. But perhaps blue. Just to be safe? Yes, that's best. Blue it is! Here you are, milord. And two sets of spares, just in case. Chrom Frederick, do you never tire? Frederick Of course not, milord. I am here to serve. Ah, and one final thing: I've taken measures to raise troop numbers and morale. I had an artisan create posters emblazoned with your noble image. It's milord in a bold pose-naked, save a scale in one hand and a sword in the other. And at your feet, I scrawled our new recruiting motto: "Chrom Wants You!" I had them pinned inside each and every tent. Surely the troops will be thrilled to rally behind their common leader, milord. Chrom ...Wait. You did what?! In whose... You hung this pict... In EVERYONE'S tent?! Frederick No need for thanks, milord. Merely doing my duty. And that concludes my report. Rest well, sire! Chrom F-Frederick! Wait! We really need to... talk. ...Oh, gods. I've got to tear those posters down before anyone sees them! [spoiler=B support] Frederick My deepest apologies, milord. Had I known you'd run from tent to tent rending the posters, I never would have- Chrom Gods, I've never been so embarrassed in all my days! My sister nearly pulled a muscle laughing! Listen, Frederick. We need to talk. I know everything you do is for my sake, and I appreciate it. But it's... Well, at times, it's a little extreme. And other times it's damn near traumatic! I'm a grown man, Frederick, and I'm capable of taking care of myself. Frederick 'Tis not my place to doubt your capability, milord, but I've duties as a knight. If anything were to happen to you or Lissa, I couldn't... I don't know if I could stand it. Chrom But you do see the difference between being a knight and being a nanny? Frederick ...I'm sorry, milord, but I would risk your embarrassment rather than forsake my duty. Chrom ...Fine! Fine. Let's try this again. Let's pretend you're "milord," and I'm your loyal knight. Now, let's say you sneeze. Just one little sneeze... Suddenly I come dashing up to you with blanket and tea in hand! Or, let's imagine you make an off-hand remark about how fish sounds good... And I ride across two mountains to a freezing river to secure dinner! Or, heavens preserve us, let's suppose you look tired, or perhaps even yawn... So I bring a parade of increasingly arcane herbal cures to your tent for the next hour! How would that make you feel? Frederick Milord, I... I would be enraged, milord. And humiliated. Chrom You see? At some point, such assistance becomes a burden. I respect your sense of duty as a knight, but you must be sane about it! You waste too much time and energy on my sister and myself, and it saddens us. If you want to make us happy, take some time for yourself. Relax! Enjoy your life! Frederick ...Is that an order, sire? Chrom *Sigh* If it was, I've no doubt you would obey without question. But that would defeat the point. It's not an order, Frederick. It's a request. ...From one friend to another. Frederick Milord... Very well. If it is your wish, I shall limit my actions to a bare minimum. I apologize for any trouble my efforts may have caused until now. Chrom Thanks for understanding. And for your dedication. Frederick It is my pleasure to serve, milord. Er, that is...within reason. [spoiler=A support] Frederick ...And that concludes today's report, milord. Chrom All right. Thank you, Frederick. Frederick *Sigh* Chrom Now there's something I never expected to hear. Is everything all right, Frederick? Frederick Oh! M-my apologies, sire! I did not mean for you to hear that. Chrom It's fine, but are you all right? You're not coming down with something, are you? Frederick Not at all, milord. I'm the picture of health. Chrom Then why have you seemed so exhausted lately? You looked pale as a sheet this morning! I though a Risen had entered our camp. The other Shepherds are worried as well. Is something the matter? Frederick Milord, I apologize again. I'm just... You see... I feel I've been of no use to either you or Lissa of late. Chrom Hmm? What was that? You're mumbling. Frederick N-nothing, milord! It's nothing. Perhaps I simply need a bit of sleep. Chrom Then go rest! And if there's anything bothering you, come tell me straightaway. Oh, but before you go... Thank you for patching the holes in everyone's tents. I know mine is a lot more comfortable without that blasted draft. Frederick But milord, I... How did you know? Chrom Who else would fix a tiny detail like that after a long day of battle?! So again, my friend, thank you. From everyone. There are days I think this entire army would fall apart if not for you. Frederick Milord, I... I don't know what to say. Your praise is the highest honor! Chrom Ha ha! It's just the truth, Frederick. That's all. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go speak with Robin. Frederick Yes, of course. Robin's tent is... that way, wasn't it? I'll get started straightaway, milord! Chrom Get started... Are you clearing the gravel?! Frederick, what in the world are you doing?! Frederick It wouldn't do to have you trip up and hurt yourself, sire! Surely you see... ...Ah! Are you worried you could trip over ME, then? Of course. Not to worry, sire! I have a plan that will let me clear the path well ahead of you. Chrom Um... Frederick? Frederick Is something amiss, milord? Ah, of course! The reeds are a hazard as well. I'll just pluck them here... Chrom That's...not what I was going to say. Frederick So careless of me, sire! I'll have the devils uprooted in just a moment! Chrom Oh, for the love of... Frederick All clear, sire! You can trod through camp without worry or delay! Chrom (Is this his idea of keeping things to a minimum?) *Frederick leaves* Chrom Still, I suppose if it keeps him happy... Frederick *Offscreen* Did you say something, milord?! Chrom Er... Frederick?! For the love of the gods! I have a meeting with Robin! Frederick Oh, yes, here s/he is now. Hello, Robin. Do pardon the intrusion. Chrom Frederick! We don't need you to... You can dust later! And actually, you don't need to dust Robin at all, Frederick! ...FREDERICK! ...Snrk.

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS I TOTALLY GOT IT!~ FE13 IS IN MY HANDS RIGHT NOW!~ *squee* If you're in New York City, check out J&L Games in Chinatown (28 Elizabeth St). Don't know if they still have any, but you can call ahead and ask 'em to hold it for you if they do. The phone # is (212)233-3399.

I've been calling our Gamestop and local mom-and-pop store so much. I'm going to get so many glares if I'm the one who goes to pick it up. @Max (Imma keep calling you that, cause I can't be fucked to type Maximillian all the time. Plus I keep thinking of Yugioh for some reason.): Hey, we all got homework, pal! Granted, not all of us are doing it... And pshaw, syllabus week? What the hell is that? >_< Can I be the one who fires the gun into the air and yells "EVERYBODY GET THE FUCK DOWN! THIS IS A ROBBERY! GIMME ALL YOUR MONIES!"? If yes, then lets go get them monies! 8D Haha, don't worry, you're probably still buffer than me. (I'm taller though.) I didn't think they were a peace offering! YOUCOMINORWHATBRO!? @K and Eberict and Intrier: SHHHH! If you talk about mods three times, one shows up! ...or something. Ugh, I don't wanna start going to another board...

Here's Maribelle/Olivia (courtesy of GameFaqs; reformatted and fixed spelling/grammar)! Only C rank now, but will update once I get the rest. [spoiler=Maribelle X Olivia][spoiler=C Support] Olivia ONE and TWO and THREE... One more pirouette aaaaaand... Hold for applause! Yay, Olivia! Woooo! Standing ovation! Olivia's the best! Marry me, Olivia! Maribelle You dance rather well. Olivia Eeeek! Maribelle! How long have you been standing there?! Maribelle From the beginning, darling. I didn't mean to spy, but you dance was so wonderful! I just couldn't bring myself to interrupt. Olivia Oh, er, gosh. Thanks. I mean, I'm still working on the rough bits, so... Oh, gods, this is SO embarrassing. Maribelle Ha! Save the false modesty for your social betters, my dear. A working-class girl like you needs confidence above all else. Olivia Er, right... Okay. Thanks, I think? Maribelle Good heavens. Are all lowborn folk this skeptical? How can you be so bold one minute and such a quivering mess the next? Olivia Wh-what do you mean? Maribelle When you dance, you're so...daring! You stand tall and proud, completely unafraid to meet the watcher's eye. You exhibit great strength and dignity. Olivia Oh...b-b-but... Argh, stop it! This is so embarrassing! Maribelle And yet when you stop, you become this jabbering, bashful mess of insecurities. I want to see more of Olivia the Bold and less of Olivia the Mouse! Got it?! Olivia Oh, er. Yes, I'm sure you're right... I guess. But- Maribelle Ugh. Very well. If you won't do it yourself, I'll just have to aid you. You'll grow a backbone if I have to drag you there kicking and screaming! Olivia B-backbone? Maribelle Pluck! Grit! Dignity! Resolve! Pick any noun you like! Hmm... I'll have to think about the best way to whip you into shape. This may take a bit. I'll let you know when the first lesson is ready. Olivia I don't like the sound of this... EDIT: ...Sooo... I guess claims don't really matter anymore, huh?

Female, than female again. There are just too many great dudes to marry. I'll do at least one male playthrough, though.

Hmmm.... yeah, okay - "Yarn" it is! Still cute, if more unsubtle. And I had thought Panne was pronounced "Pahn-ney", so there's another new thing I learned.

Ya know, after letting it sink in for a few minutes, I actually now think Yarne is kind of adorable. (I'm assuming it's pronounced Yar-ney, right?)

Also on the lookout for more here~ That was hilarious XD I wouldn't have thought it, but the whole stream of consciousness thing really works. (Also, another Persona fan yay!)

They were relatively subtle with Panne, so YARNE WHY? Is that a real name anywhere?

Soooo, Max, any word on that last batch of pictures? No, like, pressure or anything. I know you're busy, so take, take, take your time~ *is actually really impatient* Disregard this if you already posted them only to have them disappear into the void Monday night.

Late to the party, argh. I'm cool with all the new names. Inigo made go WTF? at first, but upon reflection I decided it was awesome. Ignis and Anathema are my favorite skill name changes. Sounds much more menacing now. I was actually hoping they would change Henry to something more exoti-*shot*

@Max - I'm definitely going to go see it! I loved Inglourious Basterds/Grindhouse/Kill Bill/Pulp Fiction/every movie he's ever made. T_T I just need money to spare. And nah, I haven't ever had nightmares cause of a movie. Even though I knew what was coming I clicked the spoiler anyway. First I was -_-;;;, then XD. BTW, K is working double shifts today so she can't answer you. I've taken the liberty of getting a reference picture for her instead:

@Max - I HAVE YOUR SAME EATING HABITS. I haven't touched a salad for, like, 2 years. I'm fine now (youthful metabolism, highfive!), but when I'm forty I'm going to be SO FAT. Aw, dude, your new pics look SO GREAT! Can't wait for mine! T_T I'm last... If it's sadistic to watch your friends squirm when making them watch horror movies, then I don't want to be not sadistic~ I agree with Wheels that most of them are funnier than they are actually scary, but that's what makes them enjoyable. I'm just there for the gore effects anyway. Some of them ARE genuinely creepy, though. I just recently saw The Descent and Pontypool (yeah, I know, I'm a few years late >_<), and they were pretty fucking paranoia inducing. A reference picture...? Ummm... Damnit, sooo bad with pop-culture, can't think of a real life example... You know Clare from Claymore? A lot like that, but a little longer hair, and less sharp features, I guess? (Plus, like, buffer.) Also, the only thing about my clothes I absolutely don't want is that breastplate-in-the-shape-of-actual-breasts thing. Soooo stupid. Other than that, go wild, I trust you~ P.S. Wheels you are SO CUTE! I added all you guys on PSN and 3DS, so you had better do the same! Or I'll feel rejected... *sniff* SCUM, FREEZEBAG! ASHE HENRIKSEN, FBI! YEAH!

*emerges momentarily* Aw, thanks Eberict! I'm definitely going to try, but I've never been very scholarly, you know? I also really liked your story about your family's origins - way awesome (though I was wondering why the men short out wristwatches?). You'd make a cool sort-of-but-not-really brother-in-law ~(*-*)~ Go for it! Oooh, Wheels, you should have our Trickster "procure" you some staves/money for staves. Wait, can Tricksters steal? EDIT: Yo Asturis! Welcome to the forums, dude. Cool that we finally have a wyvern rider. I wonder why it took so long.

Holy wow SlayeZ, those really do look awesome! And you picked the perfect musical accompaniment. You better make ours look cool too~ You barely know anyone who's seen it too?! WHY HAVE SO FEW PEOPLE SEEN JCA?! Me and K would wake up every morning and watch it when it was airing new. Such a great show T_T. Fistbump, buddy o'mine! *fistbump* [spoiler=long ass anecdote coming up]Eh, how'd I get the scar? It's not that interesting. K and I have liked martial arts and weapons and shit since we were little, and we spar a lot. We didn't have the money to take lessons or anything when we kids (and as adults, we don't have time), so it's just amateur streetfighting stuff. Anyway, one day a few years back, our dad buys us boxing gloves cause we kept getting our knuckles fucked up. Except, as it turns out, fighting with gloves is worse than bare-knuckle, because with the latter you naturally hold back since punching at full strength all the time is REALLY painful and you're liable to break something important (which I have). With gloves, it's easier to go all out. So our first match, K gets all bloodthirsty, clocks me one on the head so hard my fucking skull splits open she opens a gash on my brow by accident. Thankfully, we learned our lesson without me suffering a concussion or brain damage or whatever. The goalreaching is a much longer story and I've already written too much shit today, so I'll save it for another time. 8D Seductive Dancer? ....YES. Strip for me, baby! *slips a twenty into your underpants* There's more where that came from, sugar~ ...Heehee, I just imagined a dude doing a striptease in the middle of a battle. And everyone being 'invigorated'. Aww, you're sweet to say so! Let's meet in the middle and say I'm just "okay". Lessee, I like fighting, yeah... And videogames... sleeping in... I play basketball sometimes (mostly defense)... I like action, comedy, and horror movies/books/shows. Right now, I'm studying criminal justice - I want to be a police detective. I might even join the FBI - depends how good my grades end up.

@SlayeZ (quoting takes up too much space) - Hah, I've been down that road (well, not that EXACT road, but you get what I mean). Glad to hear you healed up quickly. One mooore thing! - you'll be a cool grandpa. 8D Yeah, I really do have a scar there. Courtesy of a sparring match with a certain someone gone a little too enthusiastic. It's not that noticeable, though. Also, you're an assassin; that automatically makes you at least an 8 on the badass scale. You've got nothing to fear from me; I'm not that great~ Also, you COULD give me a bow, I guess, but my aim is bad. Like, A-Team bad. I've been to a shooting range a few times, and I never got within six inches of the target (on purpose). And I'm pretty much the worst person to have on your team for drinking darts. An axe is.... probably best. K, it's comments like that which have given you a reputation for being a hyperviolent psycho. And yeah, switch to Sorcerer. Dark magic suits you better anyway, and we don't need 3 DK's. Though, yours WAS first...

And I was replying because I got attacked for no reason, in an equally pretentious way. But whatever, I really don't want to start a war here. I fully respect your viewpoint. I'm sorry for both my apparent pretentiousness and (unintentional) condescension. Lets be buds, 'kay?

Okay, you are getting WAY to worked up about this, dude. 1. I thought it was implied that I was just stating the opinions of myself and people I know, not that I was speaking for the entire goddamn world. 2. I wasn't even replying to you, personally. Just generally, on the subject. This is a free discussion forum, right? Everyone can have their voice be heard? >_> If it'll pull your panties out of that bunch they're in, I'll reword my earlier passage: I and my compatriots feel that 'bastard' is just a very impolite way of addressing someone, not a full on swear among the likes of f*ck, c*nt, etc. However, we acknowledge that this is a mindset limited to us, and don't assume that everyone we meet will feel the same. Feel better?

Aw, SMT is great, guys. Give it another chance. On topic: Demi-fiend is already confirmed, so... Belial, Nebiros, and Alice, please~
