Hello, everyone!! :)
I recently came across a YouTube Video where the poster was voicing his opinion about how Intelligent Systems has really messed up the Fire Emblem Series—Especially with the last two installments, Radiant Dawn and Shadow Dragon. I'd have to agree—with Radiant Dawn, the Support System had a major change (and not for the better), and you didn't have very many possible coupled endings for any of the characters. And with Shadow Dragon, the plot was average (nowhere near as intricate or involved as a standard FE Plot), and the Support System was practically nonexistent—all support relationships were PREDEFINED!!!!!
*Insert Primal Scream of Anger, Irritation, and Annoyance*
Anyway, that video inspired me to start working on one of my most ambitious projects ever. A Fire Emblem story so ambitious, so grand, that it will show the ENTIRE WORLD the proper way to tell a Fire Emblem Story!!!
However, I am going to need plenty of help with this thing. That's where you all come in.
I have ideas for the general story, and a small handful of characters (3 or 4), but I need a lot more than 3 or 4 characters. I plan to have a cast in the dozens, if not hundreds!! (and no, I am not crazy—I might have bitten off more than I can chew, but I'm not crazy).
That is where I need help. Send me your OCs!! I need plenty of them!!! If you have created a character for Fire Emblem but never got a chance to use them, this is that chance!!!!
Now, before I reveal the OC Form that you are to use to submit your OCs, let me explain a bit about the story.
First, this is going to be Quantum-Mechanical Crossover-heavy. You are going to see characters and concepts that are extremely similar to characters and concepts form other games, but they will not be those same characters or concepts.
Second, this world is going to be more technology-oriented than your average FE story. I'm not talking modern tech—I'm talking Magical Technology powered by Magical Crystals.
Third, Horses and Pegasi will be replaced by technological equivalents (Hover Bikes replace Horses, and Sky Rides [Hover Bikes with wings] replace Pegasi).
Fourth, the standard FE weapons (swords, lances, axes, and daggers) will be supplemented by Energy Weapon equivalents. Bows, however, will be replaced by the new weapon type of Beam Guns (which are further subdivided into many different types of guns).
And fifth, this story will use the Radiant Dawn Class System (one of the things that game got right) for all but the Main Characters (who will start out in existing T1 and T2 Classes, but will eventually change into their own, unique T3 Classes). However, because of the changes to the environment, the following changes shall be made to the classes:
Archer shall be replaced by Ranger.
Sword Knight, Axe Knight, Lance Knight, and Bow Knight will be replaced by Hover Sword Warrior, Hover Axe Warrior, Hover Lance Warrior, and Hover Gun Warrior.
Sword Paladin, Axe Paladin, Lance Paladin, and Bow Paladin will be replaced by Hover Sword Knight, Hover Axe Knight, Hover Lance Knight, and Hover Gun Knight.
Gold Knight and Silver Knight will be replaced by Hover Champion (uses Swords and Lances) and Hover Sentinel (uses Axes and Beam Guns)
Pegasus Knights will be replaced by Sky Warriors, who use Beam Guns instead of Lances.
Falcon Knights will be replaced by Sky Knights, who use Lances and Beam Guns.
Seraph Knights will be replaced by Sky Champions, who use Swords, Beam Guns, and Lances.
The name of the world this story takes place on (yes, I said world, not continent) is Gaelia. The landscape consists of both regular continents and continents which float in the sky.
There will be seven nations in Gaelia. One nation (a magocracy) will house and protect Gaelia's Fire Emblem (which plays an important role in the story), and another nation will have a young female leader who seeks to rule all of Gaelia. I will also need names for those nations, as well as for the other five nations.
