The "The War For Our Future" thread is starting to become popular now, and in typical role playing fashion we're starting to make personalities and back story for our characters. This thread is where you write down your character bios! [spoiler=Bio template. This is optional, so use it if you wish]Name: Birthday: Birthplace: Last Known Residence: Class: Speciality: (List special skills). Voiced By: (Can take out if having trouble. You may list JAP and/or ENG voices). Crit/Skill Activation Quotes: [spoiler=Dusk]Name: DodgeDusk (Dodge and/or Dusk is acceptable) Class: Was a Sniper, but has recently reclassed into a Warrior Birthday: 30th July Birthplace: Small village in Ylisse Last known residence: A Valmese inn Critical hit/skill activation quote: "This is for them..!" "You never stood a chance!" "Meet you in the afterlife!" (He no longer says this, due to believing that he now has a reason to live) "How unfortunate!" "Your death will please me" Voice actor: Steve Valentine Stats: HP: 80 Str: 50 Mag: 5 Skl: 46 Spd: 42 Lck: 45 Def: 35 Res: 30 Axe: A, Bow: A Appearance: Has very similar hair to Narbarl/Naverre but is coloured white instead. He dons a light blue fedora with a white feather on the right side. He wears an asymmetrical white jacket, which reaches to the back of his left leg. Wears white trousers, white top and light blue gloves, boots and a light blue muffler, which covers most of the lower half of his face. Ever since chapter 1, his left sleeve has been mostly ripped off, due to being stabbed in the arm with a killer lance, and there is a gaping hole in his jacket, due to being shot in the shoulder by Breezy. He'd repair his clothes, but he thinks that the rugged look matches his personality and past Bio: Puts others before him, but his exterior is moderately cold. Has good intentions but can be a bit blunt and condescending but ultimately respects everyone in the army. Is very sarcastic and is the one who plays with his hair the most He never knew his parents, as they were killed by bandits before he could even remember. Somehow avoiding them, he ended up wandering into a small village and was adopted by a young couple out of pity. The couple weren't very nice however, as they forced him to study in isolation with little food or water. When he was around 9 bandits yet again attacked the village, killing the couple, as well as the others. He hid whilst this savagery was going on, and when it all finished the village was pretty much beyond the point of repair. Armed with a bronze axe one of his carers used trying to protect to village, he set off on his own. Not used to the outside world, he quickly fell unconscious out in the wilderness When he woke up, he found himself in a bed. Realising he was in a house he quickly found the owner outside chopping wood with his axe. After a conversation he found out that his man was a retired Feroxi soldier who used to fight representing Basilio in the arena until he was bested and nearly killed by the now-current champion, Lon'qu. The man decided on teaching Dusk everything he knew about an axe and trained him up until he was about 11. Around this time, Dusk noticed the man had an old iron bow in one of his closets. Explaining to Dusk that he used to be a warrior, warriors wielded both axes and bows. Dusk though that bows were a lot cooler and asked if he could be trained with a bow instead, which the man happily obliged to. This carried on until Dusk was around 13 or 14 when his training was finished. Thanking the old man, he decided to wander off and try life as a young mercenary. After a year or so, he found a quiet Ylissean village not too far from the Ylissean-Plegian border and decided to stay there. He tried joining the local mercenary group there (which consisted of a bunch of kids around his age, with the leader being a young adult) but none of them were happy with it and mocked him. Infuriated, he challenged the leader in a 1v1 to the death. After blundering wit his bronze axe the axe broke under the sheer strength of his opponent. Switching to the iron bow his old teacher gave him, he showed an excellent display of archery and nearly killed his opponent. Surrendering, the leader gave up his title and gave it to Dusk, thinking he was the better fighter. Thinking that he was much better with the bow than he was with the axe, he disregarded the axe and carried on training further with the bow. The other mercenaries quickly grew fond of him, and they eventually all became friends Was in the war against Plegia during Emmeryn's rule commanding a small force of close friends protecting a village. Would've won the day without any problems but the Plegians did a dirty trick which ultimately had the whole village burning to ashes and was the only Ylissean who walked out alive that day. Has survivor guilt because of this and doesn't want anybody to be too close to him, as the pain of losing another close friend could prove too much. His cold demeanour was somewhat forced by this event, but he was never exactly open arms to begin with After this he became a mercenary with morals, which is a rare trait for someone who had little money and barely any emotion. One day he was offered 50000G to be the husband of a daughter to a man who was an important figure in Valm. He accepted and is now officially married, although he had no special feelings towards this woman, until she was killed by a bunch of local bandits. Promising her he'd always be by her side protecting her he felt even more guilty about being alive. Since then he told himself he'd never get too attached to anybody ever again. In memory of her he still wears a chipped ring on his ring finger, but is covered up by a glove so nobody can see it. After the events of chapter 8 he no longer wears this ring, since he is in a relationship After chapter 3 he starts to question himself, seeing most of the things he believed in was crushed in a single night. He hides himself from everybody as he sees himself as a failure, only showing his face for important discussions. Otherwise he's either in his room or in the courtyard during the late hours of night, practising his bow (and maybe something else?) After the events of chapter 8 Kat and him started a relationship. For the first time in his life since his friends were killed he felt happy for once. Since that night his attitude has been a lot more upbeat and optimistic, but snaps very easily when something gets brought up that involves negativeness and Kat mixed together, or when his feeling of guilt is brought up [spoiler=Kat]Name: Kat Original name: Agrona Zaphikel, though if your name is Alicia, Sorin, Dusk, or Phoibus, call her that at your own peril. Most recent name before Kat: Elspeth Zatara Age: Appears 25. Her current body is over 200 years old, however, and her mind is even older. Birthday: No longer remembers. Celebrates it at the end of the year. Birthplace: Her original country is long gone, and forgotten by history. Last Known Residence: Ylisse, which is how she came across the Dreamers Class: Currently FE2!Priest Speciality: Assassinations, Rallying, Convoy management, Black Magic, Scolding Voiced By: Tara Platt Crit/Skill Activation Quotes: "Goddess Rally." -> For the Goddess Rally only "Yeah, no." "You're boring me." "Enjoy the afterlife." "I'm sorry, Mila…" Appearance: Currently has short black hair, with a bright blue right eye and a blue-green left eye, courtesy of Dan. Wears an assassin's outfit that's not quite as tight as the typical female assassin garb. Weapons: Swords and Black Magic, though she keeps a dagger on hand in case of emergencies Bio: Known as Mila's Warrior, Protector, and Assassin, she's far older than she looks. Due her contract with Mila, she has a type of immortality where she can be killed, but is instantly reincarnated as a baby again. Once she reaches a certain age, varying throughout the years, she regains her memories and takes her place again as a neutral guardian. Due to reasons she still hasn't truly revealed to the others, however, she has chosen to not be neutral in the Anna conflict, instead fighting alongside the Dreamers. However, the fact that they'll all eventually die on her scares her, due to how close she's becoming to all of them. ​In most of her lives, she's leaned towards the assassin profession as it's the most familiar to her. However, she has trained in many other types of weaponry and magic, though daggers, swords, and black magic are always her best. Since Tabitha's death, however, she hasn't practised and, to her chagrin, she's very rusty and practices often to regain her skills. Recalls only having one loving family in all of her lives, her most recent one. Thus, their loss was absolutely devastating to her (especially her little sister, Tabitha), and triggered events that separated her from Phoibus, her one constant throughout the many lives, due to his own contract with Doma. Has recently started up a relationship with Dusk, and, while this makes her incredibly happy, she's also very scared that his insistence on heroics will lead him to an early grave. Due to coming from a time where kissing wasn't kept just for couples, she freely kisses people, as a sign on admiration of affection, something Dusk hasn't realised yet. Remains the army's biggest enigma, due to everything she's seen, yet also appears to be one of the few people capable of holding all of the Dreamers together, something she doesn't quite understand. Her loyalty, or the faith she has towards a person can be lost if the person commits genocide, or something similar. A couple of days after chapter 11, she has been rendered bedridden and thus, can not do as much as she wants to. Yuffie has allowed her to travel via his dead wife's horse, which will make transporting her to and from places easier. [spoiler=Sorin]Name: Sorin Age: 20 Build: 1 Hair: 5 Hair: Silver Voice: 2 or Calm Birthday: August 29th HP: 80 Strength: 41 Magic: 41 Skill: 42+5 Speed: 44+5 Luck: 40 Defense: 38 Resistance: 42+5 Weapon Ranks (Awakening) Swords: A Magic(Anima, Light, and Dark): A Class Change "I will grow stronger.

"C'mon, fight back." "There's no escape for you." Partner Defeated Enemy "I didn't need your help." "...Thanks I guess." "Well done." Enemy Defeated "Try again." "Did that hurt?" "*Sigh*" Voice actor: Brandon Karrer Appearance: A Grandmaster but with the clothing of Izanagi-No-Okami from Persona 4 The Golden (minus the helmet) or at least the cloak and chest guard. Roster A tactician found by Chrom in a field outside Ylisstol. He has a very rich bloodline that started back in the days of the Holy War. Also where his family blade, the Purgatorial Abysm was made. Refuses to use magic(Well this incarnation does.) no matter how proficient his is and chooses to hone his rather amazing sword craft. He mysteriously has both the Mark of Naga(On his chest from his mother, Chrom's Half-Aunt) and the Mark of Grima(on his right hand from his father, just guess) but tries his best to keep them hidden. Isn't afraid to get his hands dirty in wartime but loving to his allies and family. Fell into this outrealm and began helping the resistance somehow becoming its leader. Tries not to crack under the stress but... The most easily hid emotions of the army. His mother is the bastard child of Chrom's grandfather and a mistress of his. Although this making her Chrom's father's half sister, she was still shunned by him and the rest of House Ylisse despite her pacifistic nature(Which was later adopted by her half niece, Emmeryn.). Eventually she ran away and by chance met Validar. She somehow fell for him and bore him a son. Afterwards however she found out about his sadistic Grimleal desires and in attempt to save her son tried to return to Ylisstol but was denied by her half brother and exiled. The rest was lost to history....or was it? Due to Sorin's lineage of having Exalted and Grimleal blood along with many other bloods, using either Light or Dark Magic make the symbols of his hybrid blood cause him great pain. Using Thunder Magic is extremely easy for him and yet very powerful(During the Holy War, his blood becomes mixed with Tiltyu's Freege Blood.). Sorin himself has been reincarnated and has taken place in many major conflicts throughout history. It follows his bloodline and so far, he has been in Jugdral, Archanea, Elibe, Magvel, and Tellius. Once they die, that reincarnation's soul is sealed into Abysm to aid the future ones. His ancestors found the Purgatorial Abysm. Purgatorial Abysm was made back during the 12 Crusaders battle against the Dark God, Loptyr. Due to all the positive and negative energy from Naga and Loptyr this it was made from the mixture of both energies and took the shape of a blade. The blade was found by the original Sorin's family and was passed down eventually going to him. Abysm "infected" Sorin's family's blood with both Naga and Loptyr energy changing it into the only blood accepted by it. The Naga and Loptyr blood eventually fused many generations before the first Sorin was given the blade forming the Holy Blood known as, Purgatorial Since it was made from Light and Darkness it has an aversion to both while having a slayer effect on both and has been sought after because of the immense boost in power it gives. It is a powerful channel for light and dark magic as well as a unmatched physical weapon. Due to the blade's neutral alignment and the fact that the first hands laid on it were those of Sorin's family there is now a seal preventing those other than family from harnessing it's it because now Sorin's blood is the complete median. The blood can be replicated though. Just not easily. In Awakening, Abysm is acquired by Sorin from Tiki once they climb the Mila Tree. It was found by one of her followers once his mother lost it. [spoiler=Anonymous Speed]Name: Anon Class: Hero Birthday: 4/22 Birthplace: Unknown, somewhere on the Altean continent Residence: Wayfarer Specialty: Axes, science, surprise and variable tactics, preparation, deduction Voice actor: Nolan North Class change: 'Let's see what else I can learn this time...' Dual Strike: 'Impress me!' 'May help?' 'I love the feel of a fight during all times of the day!' Dual Strike: 'Excu-se me,' 'Worthless protoplasm!' 'Double the power!' Dual Guard; 'Access denied!' 'Ah-ah-ah,' 'Failure! You okay?' Critical: 'You think you've seen it all? I can do so much more!' 'Breathing is strictly prohibited among the enemy ranks!' 'Heheh, behold!' 'Strike a pose!' Partner defeats enemy: 'Well, color me impressed,' 'Hm, I must do better!' 'Well, I could learn a few things from you,' Defeats enemy: 'Heheh, I love a good fight!' 'Quite the experience!' 'Whoo, glad that's over,' Appearance: Tall, pale faced with curly brown hair. Has a flawless jawline. Bio: A high end mercenary, Anon has spent almost half his life trying to better his faith, fighting and mind, and over the years has accumulated an impressive collection of texts, weapons, scrolls, and other trinkets and trophies. He has very high professional standards, believing that any qualified professional should be able to complete their job without collateral damage or civilian casualties. Despite his love of warfare and obsession with weaponry, he is picky about who employs him, and has a strong hatred of unnecessary death, such as slaying surrendered humans and slaughtering individuals not directly involved in the fighting. He has vast array of fighting techniques and facts at his disposal learned from intercontinental travel and devoted study, to the point of his having a web if contacts in several underground circles if battle and theorization. Generally, Anon is boastful, difficult to deter and upbeat, taking joy in every moment of his fights and every so often making some snark remark. He's also very scientific, thinking through even the most ludicrous of possibilities and explanation and being well versed in a handful of fields of research. He is rarely worried or somber, except in scenarios were he perceives himself unable to protect close associates of his, such as his family or allies. However, he has a difficult time getting over his failures. His many possessions make his quarters the most cluttered of anyone in the army, he despises waste or time or resources, and is very strict about being prepared. One last defining trait about him is his over-zealously celibate tendencies, taking pride in his single life style and having high disgust to the point of hatred towards explicit sexual material. He has a brother named Block, an archer of engineering ability to rival Anon's genius. Anon puts a lot of faith in his brother and is on good terms with him, as he writes when time allows and has left him in charge of looking after his family while he is busy in the Dreamers campaign, never showing doubt in Block's ability. [spoiler=Carter]Name: Carter Birthday: October 21st Birthplace: Ylisse Last Known Residence: Ylisstol Outskirts Class: Dark Flier; War Cleric on foot. Speciality: (Timeless) Tomes, Singing Voiced By: Karen Strassman Crit/Skill Activation Quotes: "You can try..." "Get ready!" "Slow down!" "Not today!" Appearance: Long, smooth brown ombre hair. Usually puts hair as a bun (w/ side braid) or high ponytail (just in case any of you don't know what these look like). Has her share of dresses, usually shirtdresses or wrap dresses. If not, she normally wears crop tops with high mini skirts, or her tank tops with skinny jeans & UGG boots, or short shorts and sperrys'.. (LOL I feel like I just described my dream wardrobe). Bio: A generally nice girl with an alter ego.. that is if you can trigger it. Is honestly blunt, and extremely rude. If you can get onto her soft side, then kudos. A normal girl in Ylisse, living with her brother and sister. She joined the group after reading said recruitment. Being one of the first to sign up, she has become the Master Tactician, alongside her old friend, Sorin, who has become the commander. Her reasons for being mean are unknown, but you should never do anything to upset her. Gets upset real easily, and likes to have things her way. Is smart academically, but physically weak. When in a tantrum, adrenaline rises a thousand fold, and her strength becomes uncontrollable. Doesn't spend much time fighting with most of the group, as she just stays behind and practices her magic. She spends most of her time singing, regardless of others' opinions. She is usually shy and withdrawn, and extremely self-conscious. She aspires to be a singer. The one with the loudest scream. [spoiler=Polydeuces]Name: Polydeuces (Poly for short) Birthday: April 25th Birthplace: Regna Ferox Last Known Residence: Ylisstol Outskirts Class: Hero Speciality: Ranged Swords, Diversions Voiced By: Katsuyuki Konishi (JP)/DC Douglas (ENG) Crit/Skill Activation Quotes: "Time for the showdown!" "I'll rip you in two!" "Witness the impossible!" "Your ass is mine!" Appearance: Short, messy, greyish-white hair and a scar on his face. His battle model is more akin to Linus & Raven's models from FE7, as he wears a dark blue and black longcoat with the Roman numeral 'IV' on it, signifying his past as "The Emperor of North Ferox" as well as lending to the tarot motif. Under the coat, he wears light armor akin to that of the Bow Knight or the traditional Mercenary class. Bio: A young man from Regna Ferox with a chip on his shoulder and a flair for dramatic entries into battle. He joined the Anti-Anna Brigade alongside Kat and several others, but due to a supply snafu, he did not appear until later in the liberation campaign. Poly is a classic case of split personality syndrome; on the battlefield, he was formerly known as "The Emperor of Northern Ferox" due to his wild and vicious fighting style - which he pays homage to with the 'IV' on his coat - whereas off of the battlefield, his scatterbrained intellect allows him to be the ideal diversion specialist for the army, though he occasionally gets lost in the woods if he ventures too far in. He's known for being a great cook amongst his friends, though he is generally reluctant to showcase this side of himself. As a former Khan of Regna Ferox, Poly holds considerable influence amongst the Dreamers, but rarely acts serious in relation to missions due to his rather lackadaisical nature towards life in general. His family is considered a very touchy subject, as his parents were both high-ranking Grimleal priests from Ferox and his former wife, Sumia, was murdered and devoured by the Risen after an ambush led to the fall of Regna Ferox to the control of the Annas and their legions. His daughter, Cynthia, remains alive, and is currently travelling with Chrom and several other survivors in order to find a safe haven whilst the Dreamers attempt to purge the world of the Anna infestation. He has an eye for romance, at least where it concerns others, and often attempts to pair people in the army up with their comrades in order to promote chemistry (or something like that). Despite this, he has no eye for romance relating to himself now, since his wife was killed. He's also noted as the one who slayed the former Khan of Ferox, Basilio, in combat, though he claims it was out of respect for him as opposed to a grab for power. [spoiler=Ace Tactician]Name: Ace Tactician (or just Ace) class: Grandmaster Birthday May 1 Birthplace: ??? Last Known Residance: Ylisstol Castle Voice Actor: Wendee Lee Critical hit/skill activation quotes: "Keep your hand raised to the level of your eyes!" "Rest in ashes and dust!" "You can't stop Chaos" "My appearance means doom for you all!" Stats: HP: 80 Str: 39 Mag: 44 Skl: 37 Spd: 42 Lck: 45 Def: 39 Res: 42 Appearance: Long brown hair kept in a high ponytail with long side bangs, wears glasses. Wears the standard Grandmaster outfit but with a red sash around her waist. Has on her right hand, a brand consisting of a golden bird flying towards the rising dawn sun. Bio: A kind, cheerful and idealistic woman who is an expert with swords and magic tomes. She values friendship, honesty and loyalty. Ace was born with strange powers, although she had trouble controlling them until she was eighteen years old. Whenever Ace gets angry or upset, her normally brown eyes turn deep red and she becomes a formidable opponent in battle. She watched her best friend, Gaius die before her eyes by an Anna, and because of this awful tragedy, refuses to let anybody else that she considers a friend die. Due to slipping into an extreme grief fueled blind rage, Ace suffered from memory loss afterwards for a time. Due to spending time with the Azure Dreamers, Ace remembered that her best friend's name is Gaius and that she married Ylisse's Prince Chrom after defeating Mad King Gangrel and that she has a daughter, Lucina. And there were events that suggested Gaius might not have been dead after all, and that she was from an outrealm. Ever since meeting her twin sister, Alicia for the first time since being separated at birth Ace learned that Gaius was alive thanks to Alicia’s powers of Soul Judging. The two have since formed a close bond despite their separation for so long. Ace has since then become a bit protective when it comes to Alicia, even going to far as to pummel those who would hurt her, physically or mentally. She has also developed an aversion to watching people die, either by suicide or an enemy. Ace fights on for the day she can see her husband and daughter again, though after hearing what Alicia went through in life Ace also wishes for her twin’s sisters. happiness. Outside of battles, Ace can be found constantly studying to improve her skills and tactical prowess as to not lose her edge. The one most likely to lose her temper. Ace’s powers include: super strength when Chaos Mode is active, taking the form of either a bird or blue flames and empowering her allies by channeling her power into her friends. And occasionally dreaming about events. Tumultuous Arrangement's (AKA chaos mode) limitations is this: 1) Ace has to get angry at something, eg a foe or something the foe did. 2) There has to be enough chaos around her to tap into the skill, like a raging battlefield with lots of fighting and bloodshed. 3) There's also the risk of Ace losing her perception on who's a friend and who's a foe if she stays in Chaos Mode for too long since she hasn't mastered it yet. So Tumultuous Arrangement is purely a battle skill since it requires Chaotic energy to be used. [spoiler=Alicia Taylor]Name: Alicia Taylor (or just Alicia) Class: Grandmaster Birthday: May 1 Birthplace: ??? Last Known Residence: Somewhere in Eastern Ferox Voice Actor: Caitlin Glass Critical Hit/Skill Activation quotes: "Rulebreakers shall be punished!" "Your actions shall be your undoing!" "Your time on this plane has ended!" "Farewell." Dual Guard quotes: "Overruled!" and "Motion denied!" Stats: HP: 80 Str: 44 Mag: 40 Skl: 41 Spd: 37 Lck: 44 Def: 42 Res: 40 Appearance: Long brown hair with half in a bun and the other half down to her waist. Also wears glasses. Wears the standard Grandmaster outfit but with a blue sash. Also has on her left hand, a brand consisting of the morning sun rising over a blue set of scales. Bio: Ace Tactician's twin sister and the Heiress of Order, also skilled with blades and tomes. She was raised in Ferox by her uncle, an assassin known as ‘Twilight Jack Taylor’ who she referred to as Father in public to make everyone think she was his child. Alicia values honesty, order, friendship and written rules and regulations. Alicia used to come off as cold, logical and emotionless to most people, but now she's better about being herself around others. Alicia deeply cares about her twin sister, Poly and the friends she makes. Alicia being the Heiress of Order has the duty of guiding the souls of the deceased to their proper plane of existence, which means she is capable of reviving a select few people who are not ready to move on to the next plane of existence. Her powers include turning the vilest of evildoers into stone and the Risen since they are unnatural creatures, dismissing the bound souls inside Risen under the right conditions and empowering her allies. She can also cast magic without tomes, though doing so tires her out since it uses her own energy to power the spell. Her limitations are these: 1) Alicia's surroundings must be calm for her to use her powers, it can't be in the middle of a raging battle. 2) Alicia herself must be calm and collected. 3) For dismissing Risen, the souls used to create said Risen must be displaced from their proper plane. If no soul was used, this ability doesn't work. Also doesn't work if they are souls Alicia hasn't guided to the correct plane yet. Alicia as a child discovered she could sync with the emotions of others, given the proper environment and the person allowing her to peer inside. Though this ability was sought after by many people seeking answers their loved ones, leading to Alicia’s empathy power being abused for purposes without the best intentions in mind. Tired of being someone else’s tool, Alicia ran away and discovered a place where the planes of Earth, Heaven and Hell intersected, creating a neutral ground where secrets could not be concealed. It was also where the souls of the deceased would often gather before moving on. This place became Alicia’s safe haven where she often expressed her feelings, locked away from the outside world below her. When Alicia’s uncle died from walking into a trap set by his rival, she found out first when she encountered his spirit in the Neutral Ground. Alicia would later find out her crush was the one responsible for setting up her uncle’s demise. This added grief caused Alicia to become disillusioned with romantic relationships, and resulted in the young man being turned to stone. Even after taking over leadership of her uncle’s assassin group as ‘Emotionless Judge Taylor’ people still sought after her empathy powers, now even more so after being refuted to lack emotions of her own. Alicia fled to the Neutral Ground one night, frustrated over being used to solve other people’s relationship problems and inadvertently summoned her uncle’s soul from heaven. At his advice, Alicia resigned as leader of the assassin group and freely wandered around Ferox, Ylisse and Plegia as a freelance mercenary. Though years of having her empathy power used for other people’s personal gain rendered her unable to freely express her emotions around other people out of fear that her gift would be discovered, thus adopting a façade of being logical and stoic. Her only safe haven at that time was the Neutral Ground. After noticing the disappearance of many deceased souls from other planes, Alicia traced their disappearance to the very outrealm where she meet her twin sister for the first time since birth. It was in this same outrealm that she met and eventually fell in love with Polydeuces, the ruler of Regna Ferox, after seven years of believing she’d never love again. Alicia has since then decided that her true home is here by the side of the man she dearly loves, using her intellect to help the country prosper after the war. Outside of battles, Alicia is normally found reading books pertaining to legends, rare weapons and items and/or tactical strategy tomes. Has the best control of her emotions of the army. [spoiler=Crizix]HP 63 STR 21 MAG 42 SKL 35 SPD 40 LCK 43 DEF 20 RES 47 Bio: A modest, self-effacing girl that loves to help others when she can. She is very kind, but quiet and somewhat of a doormat. She values solitude, but is always happy to hang out with friends. The one who stutters most. She spent her childhood reading fiction and studying magic in a convent. As her "sisters" always spoke against violence, she started learning to use Staffs at a very early age, avoiding Tomes until she was fourteen. Even then, she had to train with her offensive magic in secret. After she was given Luna, her trusty steed, for her sixteenth birthday, she decided to travel around Yliesse to learn more about the world. However, the Annas started trying to wipe out humanity after some time, so she joined the fight against the unnatural family tree. Although she tends to shy away from everyone in the army, deep down she truly cares about them all.

This thread is a direct off-shoot of "The War for Our Future" thread, dedicated to character development that centers interactions that don't fall into the main plotline of the time, or singular character development. [spoiler=Hero-King/Marth][spoiler=Marth's Character Development!!] With everything that has happened so far. I finally managed to get a moment to myself and really delve in to what all of this means. Previously, I was told that I was only a mere phantom of myself. In battle, I manage to tap into this hidden power that resembles the five orbs of the binding shield. And every time I hear the word,Einherjar, something triggers inside of my being, along with a memory of a mysterious area. I stared into Falchion to see my reflection. I am..... different somehow. From what I remember myself to be. "Marth".....King of Altea and leader of the united continent of Archanea.... They all seem so distant now. A bright light shined out of Falchion and its flare engulfed my body. When I came to, I was in an empty white space by myself. The voice from before appeared again. It's voice echoing throughout Heed me, young king. Tell me, who are you? And what do you know about me? It has been many years hasn't it? Answer me please. You are in the presence of the White Sage, Gotoh. Gotoh? But aren't you supposed to be long dead? Why do you only appear within my inner stasis? The same can be said about you. I am no longer within the realm of the living and have rejoined Naga in watching over the world. It appears that you are beginning waver young king. Well.... yes. From the moment that I entered this era, I have felt that I am... modified in a way. In battle, I have tapped into what looked to be, one of the five sacred orbs of the binding shield. And even utilizing Starlight without its tome. I feel as though I am a mere shadow of who I once was, but tell me, I am still me....right? The answer is yes..... and no. What do you mean? Care to explain? All that I can currently tell you, is that the term"Einherjar" is related to your dilemma. Keep in mind that Marth is only human and cannot transcend the physical boundaries of his lifespan. But there is more to you than you are aware of. White Sage Gotoh, I need answers. These questions fail to stay out of the contents of my mind. What is it that you know? If it is answers that you seek, then you must seek us out. Time grows short for our conversation. But how? You no longer are within the realm of the living, and this Anna epidemic prevents me from going to the Outrealm gates. If you wish to find us and sate your doubts, you must first find the Old Hubba, the overseer of the Outrealms. He may be able to aid you. Until the day we meet again King Marth. Gotoh... wait! Before I could get another word from him, the space that I resided in was beginning to disappear in front of me and in a flash, I was back in the current residence of the Azure Dreamers. I was left with more questions than answers, but one thing was clear: the Einherjar and Old Hubba were the only leads that I had to discovering what I really am. To be continued [spoiler=Marth's Nightmare] I somehow drifted into a deep sleep. While slumbering I began to dream of the old days. In the dream, I was in my youthful days within House Altea as the prince. My father, Cornelius was still the king and everything was all and well. Jagen was still the commanding paladin of Altea's knights, Cain and Abel continued to compete for who was the better knight. Gordin was out at the back, practicing his bow precision. And I was at the training grounds, applying myself to the ways of the sword. But then, that fateful day reoccured......... Father had to take up arms in the war and took the main Altea's main army with him. In the following night, I was just finishing my sword practicing and was ready to retire to my chambers..... only to find the entire castle overrun by Gra soldiers! Every hallway I looked, there were dead bodies lying on the floor, with the blood of the fallen gashing out from their mutilated corpse and splattered onto the walls. The sight was horrifying to to behold. My heart race was skyrocketing, and then the guards noticed me. With my rapier in hand, I made my stand, and reclaimed the throne. There was Elice. I was glad to see that she was in one piece, yet she implored that I leave. Naturally, I refused, but then the dream took a huge turn..... Before we could discuss any further, a Gra archer, from behind us...... readied his bow. Aimed.... shot in our direction... and killed Elice, right before my eyes! The blood that seeped through her dress and onto my hands only added to the sheer mortification.. Why.... how...... I don't remember this! Whats going on?! As the nightmare continued, I began to violently toss and turn in my sleep, while muttering a few words Not too long afterwards did I see Jagen, Abel, Frey and Cain rushing to my side to ensure that I was safe. All were wounded and barely holding the reins of their horses and weapons, pleading that we escape. My legs grew weak and arms trembled uncontrollably, far too terrified to even move. Sensing this, Jagen had to man-handle me in order to mount me onto his horse and make our escape. As we progressed, I only grew more and more terrified as I saw the massacre of innocents left and right. One by one, the three knights Cain, Abel, and Frey stayed behind to ensure my escape and fell by the traitorous Gra soldiers, until it was just Jagen and I. Just as we were about to make it, A heavily clad knight blocked us, along with an entire battalion to back him up. Jagen fought valiantly, slaying as many as he could so that none could so much as lay an eye on me. However, it was not enough.One of them pierced his heart with his lance and ended him. It was just me left, scrambling on the ground to get up and run for my life, until two knights apprehended my arms and held me still as their general, King Jiol made his appearance. he wanted to be the one to finish the last of Anri's descendants himself. As he raised his lance, ready to impale my stomach and end me, my life began to flash before my eyes. Is this the end for me? No...... no...... NOOOOOO!! NOOOOO!! Just before his lance made contact with me, I woke up from the nightmare, my heart racing and face covered in sweat. I began to pant heavily,as I was still terrified by how vivid it was. It was..... all just... a dream.... a horribly..... mortifying.... nightmare! [spoiler=Nostalgia] I continued to read on about the Archanean history books within my room. Every new page brought back all of the memories; the good and the bad; the happy and the sad; the victories and the losses; my friends and my enemies. A part of me wishes that I could, just for a moment, return to my old life and live in peace with my friends and family. I miss the days where I could just enjoy myself blissfully. Jagen's lectures (surprisingly), my sister Elice's loving support, Merric's magical theatrics that sometimes went horribly wrong, Tiki's seemingly endless energy to play. And then, of course, my dearly beloved's beautifully glowing smile, whose elegant grace made every day worth living. Just for a little while, i wish.... No, i can't think of such thoughts now. I have a mission to complete Homesickness was catching up to me apparently. I must have done too much reading for it to cause me to miss home so much. So I closed the book and then overheard Dusk, Shadow, Dan and Anon in the kitchen. They seem to be enjoying their selves over there. Perhaps I should join them to get home off of my mind [spoiler=Marth's Lament] After Samson's revelation of Tiki's whereabouts, I walked away from everyone else. After a few moments of walking, it gradually turned into running.....far away. I didnt want anyone to see me like this,which no one has ever had the liberty to do, save for a select few. For the first time in only Anri knows how long, I lost all collection of myself in an instant. When I was far enough that no one could see me, I finally fell down to my knees and my emotions just exploded. I was actually.......crying. The hot tears from my eyes continued to cascade down my cheeks and drip onto the ground as I was weeping to myself. She's gone.... she's actually gone....... The one person left from my time has deceased, along with my heart at this moment in time. Dead. And the worst part about was........ I was completely.....utterly....powerless to protect her. I then flash backed to all of our memories in the old days. When I first saw her, she was all alone and suffered from nightmares of degenerating into a wild beast. White sage Gotoh, along with her previous guardian Bantu, entrusted her safety to me. They trusted that I would save her from her nightmares and allow her to live her life without worry or fear. I promised that I would keep her close and do my best to make her happy. I took her in when the war was over. She was almost a little sister.....that strangely stayed little. The sound of her laughter was enough to make anyone's day better. I was temporarily able to solve the problem......until I was brought here, into the world of Ylisse I had left home. I had left my friends, due to the calling of Naga and wound up two millenia into the future. Everyone and everything that I once knew was gone, but she still lived. It must have been hard for her to be alone for so long. It always was her greatest fear, and because I was here, I had wanted to meet her and apologize for making her suffer for so long, and to keep my promise of keeping her safe. But as of today, I have officially failed. For many many years, Tiki probably had to feel the pain of her loved ones leaving her alone in a world that was no longer her own. But now...... it appears she has left me. And before I could even apologize. I looked up into the sky, the clouds formed and rain began to fall from the heavens. As the rain droplets fell onto my skin, all I could say was this: Naga....... I'm sorry [spoiler=Kat/Phoibus] [spoiler=Phoibus and Dusk - Second conversation]​Phoibus: Okay… where is he this time? *carefully hunting around, disguised again as the common dreamer soldier, this time with some fake scars and an eyepatch* Dusk: ... Hmm... I wonder if there's any books about the history of Magvel around here... Phoibus: *manages to overhear that and, with a voice that's pitched low* "I believe you need to look in this section, Grand General." Dusk: ... I recognize that voice... *walks over to given direction* Alright; expose yourself... Phoibus: "Huh. Your ears are good." *back to normal voice* "Hiya!" Dusk: My senses are pretty amazing... "brother"... What brings you here? Phoibus: "Well… I was just hanging around and decided to have a little talk about the ring my sister was wearing when she left to go talk to Mila before I go bug her." Dusk: Oh yes... You know, I never offered it to her. I just chucked it in her direction and it fell onto her finger. She's the one who's kept it on Phoibus: "Oh, good, I didn't miss a wedding. I'd be VERY angry at that. Particularly since I can only think of a handful of reasons why to rush one." Dusk: One wedding's enough... Besides, *smirks* I wouldn't want my brother-in-law to miss it now, would I?.. But I'll bite, what reasons did you conjure up? Phoibus: "You really never heard of the term 'crossbow wedding'?" Dusk: ... I wasn't one for love, so no I haven't ​Phoibus: "Okay, so… when two people get a little hormone addled and decide to spend some intimate time together, and then the family finds out… well, let's just say that some overzealous fathers decide that the two get married, often with a crossbow as reinforcement. Get it?" Dusk: I see... Last I checked, no father was shoving a crossbow in my face, so I don't see the need to get married... Although... Phoibus: "Yes, yes. This was me confirming I hadn't missed something, not what your future plans are. …You'd better not die too soon on her. If you do, I will find your soul to punish you. Don't think I won't." Dusk: Oh please, I don't plan on dying full stop. I know that she gets reborn every time she dies and eventually gets her old memories back, so I'm stuck with her forever. I plan on making the most out of this... And I'm sure you would... I can't understand you Phoibus, and I don't think I want to... *shrugs* But you're stuck with me until I die, so deal with it ​Phoibus: "…I hope you never do understand what it's like to constantly die and be brought back, with only one thing to look forward to. It's not a very happy existence. The only joy I have anymore is seeing Agrona happy. Nothing more. So, it is not 'stuck'. It's gratitude. I have never seen her this happy, and I know that her memory of you will keep her happy for a long, long time." Dusk: ... It pleases me to hear you say such things... I promise on her and you that I will make her happy for as long as I breathing... And if I don't... consider my soul yours Phoibus: "Good. Because that's what I'm taking if you fail." *turns away* "Anyway, I'm off to Mount Prism to check on something for the stupid Annas. Later." *leaves* Dusk: ... What a confusing fellow... I think him and I need to discuss about things with a mug in our hands soon... Now where is that book?.. *searches* Oh, look at that. It is here... Thanks bro [spoiler='Phoibus after Rosaline's death]As the Dreamers begin fighting the Annas, Phoibus jumps down from his perch and makes his way to Rosaline's body. "My sister is right, you know," he whispers as he lays a single, perfect rose on the corpse and gathers it up in his arms. "You chose to trust the wrong person. My sister and I… we're playing a game, you see. A chess game with three sides to accomplish what others cannot. The rogue pawn… is one to be sacrificed, as it will never reach the other side to become more powerful." He gently kisses her forehead. "A shame, it is. I did like you. But your goals conflicted mine, and I was the craftier one of us." He glances to the fighting, smiles bitterly, and turns away. "It's okay, though. I found a place where wild roses grow, far more beautiful than what could be cultivated in a garden. I'll take you there, among flowers that match your grace and beauty." He walks off, sparing only a brief glance to the fighters. "Well, Agrona? The next move is yours." With those words, he leaves the port, already planning the lies he'd weave to keep his chosen pawns - the Annas - in the dark. [spoiler=Kat after Theresa's death]She closes her eyes and listens to the gentle crashing of the waves. She casts her thoughts to the side and then picks them up, one by one, to examine them. "So, Jxemas was talking of 'heaven's game'? A shame, but that game no longer exists. The goddess who blesses has been twisted. Mila and Doma lost the gamble and now… now Phoibus and I are picking up the fallen pieces." She opens her eyes again to see a ship in the distance, sailing off to Valm. "Looks like Phoibus has managed to convince them that Theresa and Rosaline have killed each other in combat. I wonder what lie he spun. That was always his strong point. He never was a fighter." She glances back to the others, conversing lightly amidst the dying city, the decaying enemies, the drying blood. "Phoibus chose the pawns, but I chose the others. This game is one we cannot afford to lose." She looks back to the horizon, seeing something that no one else could. "Check, my dear fool. What'll be your next move?" Smiling softly, she turns from the ocean to rejoin the others. Her… her family that she would protect with everything she had. No longer pieces to treat kindly. True and beautiful friends who had become her dearest people.
