Kyuzeth's Media Thread

[Kyuzeth]

Hey, everyone. I like to write my own characters within specific universes, and I've already written a few for Fates that I'd like to share. This thread will deal with said characters, as well as support chains involving them. Most of these characters are original, but some have been adapted from canon, which will be noted. On top of that, expect to see fully-detailed Paralogues for any second-generation characters I have written. I may also put up some personal stat things here, since I love exploring the mechanical details behind the games. Sometimes, I may upload one of my 'comics' using the games' portraits, to which I add conversations for a quick laugh.

A few more things:

- Everything will be hidden in spoiler tags so as to ease browsing.

- I'm open to any and all feedback. In fact, I'm pretty reliant on feedback, so if you've got anything to say, then fire away!

- All content will be added to this post. Whenever something new has been added, I will notify with a comment.

Alright, that's enough introduction. Enjoy the read.

CHARACTERS

[spoiler=Nichol]
Nichol [Canon Adaptation]

Sole Survivor

Basic data
Age: 30
Hair: Anthracite; mid-long, messy
Eyes: Bright blue, slanted
Nationality: Nohrian
Alignment: Neutral
Base class: Wyvern Rider -> Revenant Knight/Wyvern Lord
Secondary class: Barbarian -> Warrior/Berserker
S-Supports: Every female character aside from Reina
A+ Supports: Silas, Laslow, Niles, Azama, Saizo
Child: Victor (son)

Background
The leader of a feared Nohrian gang of crooks, Nichol has long lived a rogue lifestyle of murder and plunder to ensure the survival of himself and his comrades. Much like Niles, Nichol was born in the slums, although his parents didn't abandon him; in fact, Nichol worked as hard as possible to provide his parents with even the most basic forms of sustenance. Eventually, however, Nichol's sheer proficiency with the axe landed him a place in the Nohrian army as a Wyvern Rider, and his sole focus was to perform as well as possible to retain his position. His sadistic traits while patrolling the lands of Nohr are partly genuine, as he does feel some sort of satisfaction in slaying enemies and oppressing the innocent to do his bidding, but part of it is only to ensure his reputation stays intact among his comrades. However, when invited to the main forces of the army, Nichol is forced to part with his comrades, who eagerly await their boss's return. In his endings, Nichol and his gang form a branch of the Nohrian police force; while notoriously strict, they do act justly and perform their job like nobody else.

Personality
Nichol comes across as highly apathetic, initially showing complete indifference towards others and their needs. Along with this, Nichol always displays a strong focus on anything he can use for his own gain, rendering him quite egotistical at the start. However, his supports reveal the reason for this strong focus on his own well-being, and it ironically turns out that this egotism is all so that he can support his following well enough for when he eventually returns. Aside all that, Nichol is almost down-to-earth to a fault, usually not hesitating to offend people rather crassly if he believes something to be bullshit. This gets him at odds with several characters, even with the royals. Several supports deal with Nichol's fear of death, which turns out to be the catalyst of many of his actions: all so that he may ensure his own survival.

Appearances
Birthright
Scenario
Nichol appears as a wandering NPC unit in Chapter 11 who goes off to slay the mysterious enemies on his own. However, he will retreat to the main deck when his health gets low, which is your chance for Corrin to talk to him. Despite being a Nohrian soldier, Nichol feels uncertain serving under Garon, and explains that he'd rather be on the side of the strong. Recognizing that Nichol has fought some of the invaders, Corrin accepts his offer and Nichol officially joins the army.

[spoiler=Victor]

Victor

Turbulent Heart

Basic data
Age: 17 (after time in Deeprealm)
Hair: Mother's hair color (anthracite by default); long, unkempt
Eyes: Bright green, slightly slit pupils; slanted
Nationality: Nohrian
Alignment: Neutral
Base class: Cavalier -> Paladin/Great Knight*
Secondary class: Wyvern Rider -> Revenant Knight/Wyvern Lord; mother's inherited class
Sexuality: Straight
S-Supports: Avatar, every 2nd-gen female from both Hoshido and Nohr
A+ Supports: Every 2nd-Gen male from both Hoshido and Nohr
Parent: Nichol (father)

* Unlike other Great Knights, Victor can only reach a B-rank in lances, while A-ranking axes instead. He also gains less sword and lance proficiency upon promoting, instead being well into D, close to C for axes.

Appearance
Victor has a tall, muscular frame and a wild, battle-torn appearance; underneath his armor, his body is covered in many scars sustained over a multitude scuffles. His armor is black, as with some Cavaliers, but boasts a significantly more intimidating design with its angular structure and details, as well as less silver details. His steed is black as well, and both it and its master have more jagged armor; this especially shows on its Great Knight armor (default promotion), which is completely black with dark blue highlights. Additionally, he has long sideburns that extend from his helmet whenever he wears one. The look in his eyes is very sharp and stern, almost hostile. These traits all contribute to make Victor look quite intimidating. Unlike Benny, however, Victor's personality does complement his intimidating appearance, at least initially.

Background
Having grown up in a Deeprealm, as with the other children, Victor has spent most of his life in a solitary lifestyle. In his own Deeprealm, Victor has garnered a reputation for being a brutal warrior on horseback who constantly goes around challenging opponents. Fellow inhabitants claim he is "looking for reasons" whenever he challenges somebody. Victor never kills any of his enemies, and is shown to be respectful around those who have fallen in battle. This is why many denizens of his Deeprealm are able to share anecdotes and tales of his exploits. (More will be explained in the Paralogue itself.)

Paralogue
#24: Featured in a separate tag

Personality
Victor's initially behaves somewhat standoffishly and apathetically. In reality, he is deeply frustrated, as he wants to know why people battle and wage war. He is constantly looking for a reason to fight, not knowing that others cannot give him the reason he's seeking, but has to discover it for himself. Victor is also noted to have very stern-looking eyes and a slightly hostile expression, but is really just indifferent to others' needs at first (much like his old man) and not terribly inimical. He steadily grows out of his negative traits the more he supports with other characters. In any case, though, Victor is a very honorable and helpful individual who will gladly lend a hand, and sometimes, he'll hit it off with someone right away, such as with Sophie.

[spoiler=Suzuya]

Suzuya

Emerald Grace

Basic data
Age: 24
Hair: Dark emerald green, very long and voluminous; adorned by two bell ornaments, one on each side
Eyes: Gold
Nationality: Hoshidan
Alignment: Hoshido
Base class: Spear Fighter -> Spear Master/Basara
Secondary class: Samurai -> Swordmaster/Master of Arms
Sexuality: Straight
S-Supports: Male Corrin, Jakob, Silas, Kaze, Nichol and all Hoshidan males; Niles and Laslow (Revelation only)
A+ Supports: Hinoka, Kagero, Oboro and Mozu; Charlotte and Peri (Revelation only)
Child: Tatsuma (son; will be the sibling of Suzuya's spouse's child)

Background
In the kingdom of Hoshido, Suzuya is renowned for her prowess with the naginata. She took up the weapon in her youth, out of a personal belief that she should be able to protect those dear to her, even if her parents weren't quite so willing to let their daughter go into training. Upon being noticed by soldiers of the Hoshidan Army, however, Suzuya was invited into the legions to train with them, so that she may defend Hoshido, and gladly accepted the offer. This did sour the relationship between her and her parents, but the latter two eventually came to accept that their daughter enrolled in the Hoshidan Army for more reasons than just personal interest. Now, Suzuya serves as a commander among the Spear Fighter forces. Fighters such as Oboro see her as a role model.

Personality
Having been raised by her parents, Suzuya is often regarded as a role model for many girls and women to follow - an elegant, polite, yet strong woman who will gladly jump at the call. Not only that, but her talent as a Spear Fighter has granted her a notable reputation. While she does appreciate the attention, Suzuya sometimes feels people expect too much of her and tends to overwork to live up to what she believes to be the people's perception of her. Unlike Subaki, however, Suzuya doesn't care for anything like perfection or the sort, believing effort is the prime catalyst to all success. It's quite rare for her to ever be agitated, but she occasionally has stress meltdowns.

Appearances
Birthright
Scenario
Suzuya appears disguised as a Knight in Chapter 13, aiding Ryoma and Scarlet in the Chevois rebellion against the Nohrian army. When the disguises come off, she introduces herself to the group, and is immediately recognized by several members of Corrin's army. Oboro takes particular note of her, stating herself to be a fan of Suzuya's and eagerly asking to share some fashion advice and combat tips. If you have not used Oboro, Suzuya is good to pick up instead, and definitely a great spare Spear Fighter should Oboro die at some point.

Stats & Skills

Conquest
Scenario
In Chapter 13, Suzuya is fought as an enemy unit in the Chevois rebellion that Corrin has been sent out to suppress. Here, she is still her calm self, and is actually recognized by some Nohrians as a powerful adversary. While defeated, Suzuya manages to escape.
She is fought again in Chapter 25, aiding Ryoma in the defense of Castle Shirasagi. Here, she is a far more powerful enemy and, as with every Hoshidan enemy, has skills that are completely out of her reach normally. When killed, she remains her calm self and even commends the enemy on a battle well fought.

PARALOGUES

[spoiler=Paralogue 24]

Paralogue 24: Seeking Reason

"Nichol's son, Victor, has exited his Deeprealm on his own accord, being on the hunt for new opponents to face. Victor's internal conflict drives him into a group of powerful opponents, much to his own joy, but not so much to his father's..."

Laslow: "You look somewhat consternated, Nichol. Are you alright?"

Nichol: "I don't have the happiest mug in the army, but what're you concerning yourself with? Shouldn't you be by Lord Xander's side?"

Saizo: "Something's got to be wrong here, Nichol. Why don't you just spit it out?"

Nichol: "Ugh, fine... We're about to encounter my son. The problem is, though, he's kind of a troubled soul, constantly looking for a reason to fight. I tend not to overthink things most of the time, but I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. He is passionately committed to his goal, which is admittedly something I'm proud of, but..."

Saizo: "What about it? You sound conflicted yourself. The apple really doesn't fall far from the tree, I suppose."

Laslow: "Hahahahahahaha! Cheers for that one!"

Nichol: "Both of you, shut your holes! I don't want my son to think my company are a bunch of crap-spouting morons! Ugh, damn it all..."

[Cut to mountain plateau somewhere in Nohr]

Victor: "... Ah, the air is so fresh and new here. I've already fought everyone a million times back in my Deeprealm, so there's no point in loitering around in that boring hole. Time to seek new challenges... Hopefully, I'll finally get the answers I'm after. Advance, Baldur!"

[Cut to further ahead in the fields]

Victor: "Urgh... We've ridden for hours now and still haven't found a single enemy to face. Perhaps they sensed our arrival and fled. Either that, or they simply pissed their pants and hid themselves from us. I don't want to tucker you out, old pal, so shall we take a break? Yeah, thought so."

Master Ninja: "......"

Victor: "No rest for the wicked... It seems someone has finally answered to our call, Baldur. To battle!"

[Cut to battlefield]

Nichol: "There... There's my son."

Laslow: "... You seem oddly calm all of a sudd-"

Nichol: "VICTOR! WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN DOING OUTSIDE YOUR DEEPREALM?!"

Victor: "Dad?! Ugh, marvelous timing... Listen! I'm absolutely sick of being in my Deeprealm all the time! Nobody could ever provide me with any answers and the challengers only weakened over time! Everyone's old there now and I'm in need of new opponents! But, uh... I kinda need your help now, Dad!"

Nichol: "... Oh, FANTASTIC! I come to visit you after a while and THIS is how we have to meet again?! Fine... Lads, let's get ready for battle! Don't let those bastards touch Victor!"

Map description
The map is a vast, outstretched, open field. Aside from the occasional trees and ruins, not much stands in the way of Corrin's army and the enemy forces. Dragon Veins are scattered across the field, and they'll overgrow trails of grass to make them impassable for all non-airborne units. There are several treasure chests, the content of which will all be described below. The best way to access these chests is by first slaying all the enemies, then looting them. There is no turn limit, and the objectives can be done in either order, so defeating the enemies first is definitely an option worth considering.

Victor will be in the middle of the map, so activating Dragon Veins to block off paths helps the player protect him and buy more time for him. He'll automatically be engaging enemies, so getting Nichol in there as fast as possible is highly advised. Once you talk to Victor, he'll join your army and can promote. Despite being a Cavalier, he holds an axe and his overall growths greatly favor the Great Knight, which will also grant him a unique appearance. Once promoted, Victor will be much better matched, as his newly-gained Iron Axe will come in handy against the many Master Ninja and Falcon Knights on the field.

Mid-battle Conversation
Nichol: "Dad's here, Vic. Are you alright?"

Victor: "'Alright'? I couldn't be feeling better right now, Dad! At last, new opponents to challenge! Perhaps I'll finally find my answers in your world!"

Nichol: "Don't be a reckless moron! You don't even know what this world is like and you've just jumped right into it?! How much more of an idiot can you even BE?!"

Victor: "Dad, listen. Fighting is pretty much what I've been doing ever since I've been able to hold a weapon. I've grown into a capable warrior by now. You're gonna find out just how good I've become..."

Nichol: "Promise me one thing, kid: Do NOT get yourself killed. Got it?"

Victor: "Got it, old man."

Nichol: "Ngh... Alright, Son, let me see how you pulverize them."

Chests
- Killer Axe (x1)
- Tomahawk (x1)
- Dual Katana (x1)
- Dual Naginata (x1)

===
Victor: "......"

Nichol: "Something the matter, Victor? You look troubled."

Victor: "... Look, Dad. I don't think I've ever told you, but I've always felt hollow while fighting. I've never really found my personal reason as to why I fight, something that's been haunting me for a long time. The reason why I've been fighting nonstop? Why I've even come to your world in the first place? It was all in the hopes of finding someone who can give me a satisfactory answer."

Nichol: "I believe I've got just the answer, kid. Mind listening to your dad for a second?"

Victor: "Sure."

Nichol: "The reason for fighting is something you've gotta determine for yourself. Just like you forge your own memories, the path of life is yours alone to carve. I can only guide you along the way - I at least can, unlike my own parents, who were ill and died fast."

Victor: "... Thanks for the wise words, Dad. I'll keep battling as I always have, but now that I know my reason is something I must find for myself, I feel a lot more reassured and content. Anyhow, I suppose I should return to my Deeprealm now."

Nichol: "Oh, hell no you don't. If you wanna find your resolve, then you need to join your dad and fight on his side. We throw ourselves headfirst into the fire. Can't let my boy miss out on all the action, especially since he's such a damn great warrior."

Victor: "Alright, then it's decided! Glad to be on board, Dad."

Nichol: "Good to have you, Vic. Here's to our survival... and many a glorious victory ahead."

Again, if you've got any remarks at all, please share them with me; I will be sure to read them. Thank you for reading my scribbles, and have a great day!
