Question: Are we differentiating between ranged and close-up attacks?

[Kanami]

Probably not since it's kind of cheap to have a character who can't be countered. (enemies are cheap! ) Since according to FE, all the mages in the group can also "range" attack, and since there's no "movement" in this, and you suffer no penalty (used 20 points like everyone else) it'd be kind of unfair.

Surprised no one brought it up earlier If you want to attack (since I assume this post means you haven't even taken one kill yet) I'd just calculate battles like everyone else is doing.

Yeah I assumed that 1-2 range didn't really have any benefits.

I still think you should have a Jeigan. What is Fire Emblem without one? Personally, I vote for a Female Mage Fighter. Anima + Swords + Staffs = fun.

I guess the issue with that would be that one person would be controlling a l33t character while everyone else would be normal, which Snowy seems to want to avoid.

3 gold to all involved in the fight + 3 extra to Michael (Yes, I am going to assume Kelas will finish off her bandit).

SUPPORTS! You asked... and I listened! Here is the supports.

A support is a bond between two player characters that symbolizes how well they have become connected. Supports come in four different levels of C, B, A, and S. A C-level support shows a level of friendship beyond simple aquantence, but not yet a 'true' friend. A B-level support is a strong friendship, A A-level is either love or a INCREDIBLY strong friendship, and a S is... well... pretty much either husband and wife or a friendship on par with Jesus and Peter (or Mario and Luigi or something similar). In order to obtain a support, the two characters MUST have time alone together and must engage in some activity that allows for trust to be built between them. Upon such an activity, I will give a judgement as to if it is worthy of a support level or not (be sure to indicate it in some way). You may have only 1 A/S level support, and one B or two C-level supports which actually give you bonuses. However, this does not limit you in how many in-character relationships you may acquire. Additionally, a support can be lost if one of the supporters breaches the truth of the others.

RETROACTIVELY, ALL CHARACTERS REQUIRE A ELEMENT!

In order to determine what bonuses you acquire, from a support, find the two elements on the table below, then combine them together and round up. Multiply the bonuses by the support level (1, 2, 3, 4) and vioala! Supports!

Fire: +0.5 MT per level
Ice: +0.5 Def per level
Anima: +0.5 Res per level
Wind: +0.5 Hit per level
Thunder: +0.5 Evade per level
Dark: Each 1 allows you to reroll your dice for a saving throw.
Light: Each 1 increases the amount potions and staffs heal you by 1.

Considering the circumstances,I'd like to ask for an Auto B support between Aiya/Damian.

[Snowy_One]

Alright.

[Ether]

Thank you.I suppose I'll edit affinities and support levels into their profiles then. *does so*

[Narga_Rocks]

A B-level support is a strong friendship, A A-level is either love or a INCREDIBLY strong friendship, and a S is... well... pretty much either husband and wife or a friendship on par with Jesus and Peter (or Mario and Luigi or something similar).

I would have gone with Jesus and John, really, if you wanted to use Jesus in your example. Certainly a closer friendship than Jesus and Peter.

If nobody minds, I'll claim the crimson bow.

Name: Rayton Esquire

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Appearance: Rayton stands at 5'8", weighing in at 200 lbs. He has a somewhat lean body frame, which makes him quite lithe. He has a burn mark dead center on his back, scars going up and down his arms and a long one going down the side of his face, which is a mop of short, messy black; remnants of his troubled childhood. Despite this, he is in relatively good physical condition. Rayton wears a loosely-fitting navy-blue bodysuit that doesn't restrict his movements. It has numerous areas for storing items and also has straps in several places for easy storing of his crimson bow and black quiver when not in use. He also wears durable brown boots as well.

Element: Dark

Class: Archer

Crimson weapon?: Yes

Stats:
HP 3
STR 2
MAG 2
SKL 4
SPD 3
Luck 1
DEF 1
RES 1

Simplified stats: HP:9, Str:2, Hit:4, Evade: 5, DEF/RES: 1/1

Weapons: Hellion Shot: A black bow covered with lethal-looking red and bluish glowing runes on it. When an arrow is launched, it leaves a trail of red and blue energy blazing behind it.)

Items/gold: 20 gold/no items

Skills: Vantage

Backstory: Rayton is a man who was once shackled under the bonds of slavery. At age 8 the village he lived at was under siege by a group of roaming bandits. He managed to escape his home when it caught ablaze, but was captured shortly. Seeing as he was the only one to survive, they kept him around, as a slave of sorts. Many years passed by under them, and Rayton learned about the true atrocities of the world he lived in. And whenever he'd be caught trying to escape or trying how to teach himself how to use weapons, he'd be tortured, by being beaten, branded, or sliced up, along with being deprived of food and water for a while. For quite some time things looked as if he never would escape his nightmare...

But at age fifteen an opportunity for salvation finally presented itself, although in an unwanted manner. When the bandits invaded another village Rayton once again tried to escape he took refuge in one of the ruined homes, only to discover a dying demon and a bow lying all by itself that seemed as if it was calling to him; the Hellion Shot. As he was bound to it by the demon his emotions went spiraling out of control until they settled on one emotion: blind rage. With his new weapon in tow he confronted his captors. As they approached him he found himself launching an arrow that left a trail of red and blue energy in its wake. He suprised himself when the arrow took out the bandit in front of him, and nailed the one behind him. With this powerful weapon in his possession they didn't stand a ghost of a chance, as he slaughtered every single one before they could finish a counterattack.

Ever since then, he became somewhat of a freelance mercenary, one that would patrol nearby towns and offer his assistance when needed, for a nominal fee of course. He also did this so he would become more skilled in handling his newfound crimson weapon. Every so often he'd give people freebees; this would happen when a situation reminded him of his past to a harrowing degree. It wasn't easy however, as his Hellion Shot took quite some time to fully master without him falling under its influence and slaughtering the innocent. Because of this, he became quickly known as the Forsaken One; a title that he really resents.

theonefate: You kind of jumped the gun there... I didn't post the stats for the bandits yet. That's a 50 DKP minus!

[Defeatist Elitist]

Name: Arcturus

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Appearance: Arcturus is unassuming in his height, and thin, but not wiry. He is muscular, but not to a great degree. He is however quite swift, and has great dexterity. He has relatively short, brown hair, with a somewhat feminine face. He has laughing blue eyes, and he tends to wear a slight grin at all times. He wears a plain gray shirt, and a plain gray coat, with plain gray trousers. He wears no armor, but does carry around several knives.

Personality: Going with the reveal method.

Element: Fire

Class: Thief

Crimson weapon?: No

Stats: HP 2, Str 4, Mag 0, Skl 4, Spd 4, Def 2, Res 2, Lck 2

Simplified stats: HP 6, Damage +3 (including knife penalty), to hit +4, Evade +8 (including knife bonus), Def 3, Res 3,

Weapons: Several varieties of knife/dagger stowed away on various parts of his body

Items/gold: Vulnerary (5 GP), 15 GP

Skills: Steal

Backstory: I plan on revealing backstory as necessary through plot, but I'll give the basic gist to help flow.

Arcturus has spent most of his life running jobs for various people in larger metropolitan areas, although he has spent time in the countryside as well. Currently he is traveling across the land seeking his fortunes as he can. He is no stranger to fighting, but neither is it something that he has spent much time looking for. The jobs that were offered to young men in cities often would run him afoul of some person or another, and certainly once he had been payed he became a much more interesting target.

[Kanami]

Name: Dalton & Jones
Class: Bandit & Shaman
Age: 42Male & 32Male
Appearance:
Crimson Weapon: No
Personality: Dalton is a simpleton who doesn't really think at all. While naturally gentle at heart he took up banditry since he thought it'd be an easy way to make a living. And hasn't really considered the consequences or the effect his actions may have on people. He usually is seen apologising to the dead after the end of a raid/battle, but usually follows it up with an accidental kick or step on the deceased.

Jones is sneaky, but not very bright, and usually tries to solve everything with poison or drugs. He has no morals whatsoever is always trying to think of a way to end up not doing any work with the maximum gains possible. He is also a pervert and joined up with bandits for the spoils of banditry. Though moreso the women then the gold.

Dalton (Iron Axe)(Ice)
HP: 6 Str: 4 Skl:3 Spd: 3 Lck: 0 Def: 4 Res: 0
Simplified Stats:
HP:18 ATK:4 HIT:3 EVD: 4 DEF/RES: 4/0
15 gold
Vulnerary x3

Jones (Fire)(Thunder)
HP: 5 Mag: 3 Skl: 4 Spd: 3 Lck: 1 Def: 2 Res: 2
Simplified Stats:
HP:15 ATK:3 HIT:4 EVD:5 DEF/RES: 2/2
15gold
Vulnerary x3

Background: Dalton was born in a remote village which was completely destroyed in the events of the Azure Demon. He isn't really sure if it was soldiers or demons that attacked his village, but he doesn't really remember the village he was born in anyway. When he was young a witch had arrived at his village and when Dalton had knocked the woman over by accident had been cursed to be a stupid fool. Years later, news of the witches death spread and the curse was lifted, but it didn't change the fact that he'd learned nothing for two decades and anything valuable he'd learned as a kid was completely forgotten. A few months later the village was wiped out. Dalton wondered around aimlessly for awhile, but would eventually be attacked by bandits, fortunately what Dalton lacked in brains he made up with brawn and killed his attackers, impressed the leader of the bandits recruited him into their gang.

Jones is originally a Halton noble, but was banished for trying to sneak into the Queen/Empress's bedroom with.... well perverted intentions. Under normal circumstances he may have been executed, but the empire was more concerned with the impedeing army of demons at the time. Leaving Halton he wandered around as a mercenary occassionally abducting village girls who are never heard from again. He doesn't care about men, to the extent where they are pretty much nonexistant to him, and has been beaten up for flirting with a woman while her husband was standing right next to her. He believes that "the world is rotten" and that he himself is the key to a new age. An age where he believes he will be sitting on the throne. He has convinced Dalton that he is the future king and despite Daltons fear of black magic (shaman magic) has Dalton following his every whim. Jones is also a master of herbs and poisons.

Reika....
Isnt that Nadesico's character?
Anyways

Name: Ian

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Appearance: Around 5'12". He has short red hair and wears a dark coat and brown pants.

Personality: Very arrogant and cocky. His image is a very arrogant and cocky person. Although deep inside he is caring and has heart, he finds it better to hide it.

Element: Fire

Class: Mercenary

Crimson weapon: No

Stats: HP: 3 STR: 3 MAG:0 SKL: 3 SPD: 3 Luck: 1 DEF/RES: 2/2

Skill: Slayer

Simplified stats: HP: 9 STR: 3 HIT: 3 EVADE: 4 DEF/RES: 2/2

Weapons: Ian sword cast Elthunder. Killing edge

Items: Elixir/ 10 gold

Backstory: Ian was always alone. He didnt have anyone and the people in the orphanage were mean to him. One day a soldier attacked him but Helios's father saved him. Ian went into a dark depression. After a while people around him started to worry for him. For their sake he forced a smile on his face and acted as arrogant as he could. He hides the pain inside knowing one day it is going to have to come out. He is Maria's best friend. He looks up to Helios

[Kanami]

Hmm, I'm not sure what the maximum number of characters are but I'd say anymore then three is ridiculous (Characters that have stats) I'm not sure if you(Kai) having three characters is a good idea since Helios is pretty much a nobody, and Mark (still being new) has been used so little that he might as well be a random villager. I know I was the one to make a third character first, but if you hadn't guessed, they're goons, or character I couldn't care much about. And if I'm to side with the enemy then I wanted some NPC's I could control without having to worry about asking Snowy each time.

I think you should work on developing your characters a bit more, cause at the moment the old man that kicked everyone out of the Darian has as much character as Helios and Mark combined. But it's up to Snowy what he'll allow, I didn't get the thumbs up for Jones either :?

More characters aren't exactly good... what I mean to say is that a whole pool of nobodies is more of an irritation then a benefit. Personally I'd think two characters each, and an exception for a third if necessary, up to Snowy though
