That's exactly what I wanted to ask next. Whether we do paralogues or if our characters obtain their relics in other ways. Kinda like how the Lance of Ruin could be obtained early if you have Sylvain in your house during that mission. As for missions that relate to some of our characters I'm sure we can come up with something.
One more thing about classes. Do our characters keep their magic skills when they change to a different class? I know it doesn't work like that in the game but I think that is just so they won't be overpowered. If we want to keep it that way though that's cool. If we do want to change it then we could put some limits on the use of magic in a non-magical class. For example, a monk that changes to the cavalier class will keep their magic but can't use it nearly as much or well as before, having not quite figured out riding and casting magic at the same time, having to rely on the use of weapons instead. Thus their magic would be much less effective.

Probably a bit of both! Some of the main monthly missions can concern the relics, others can be obtained through paralogues (so, unassigned missions, I guess). If we decide to do an overarching plot, that's an option too.
I think it's fine for characters to keep some semblance of magic from their old class, but yes, their proficiency in it will go down. So, characters who switch from a magic class to a physical class can use their magic, but it might not be worth the energy spent.

Alright. While I list the relics in my character profiles I think neither of them uses it yet. So it only says that their crest allows them to wield it. As for when everyone gets their relic, maybe we can all make suggestions for how we want our own ones to be handled? Because for my characters I'm pretty sure plain old paralogues will suffice.
Yeah, I just thought it would make more sense that way. I mean, it would be kinda weird for someone to suddenly forget everything they knew about magic just because they became an archer or something.

I know one of my characters has a subplot looming over his head that could lead him to attaining his relic. My Blue Lions House Leader, Fion probably won't get his anytime soon. But, yes, 𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛, Ember34, feel free to let me know how you want your relics handled. Speaking of storylines and what not, are we doing academy phase vs war phase? Of course, war phase would be much later in the rp.

Hm. I guess? Of course we'd need someone who actually starts the war then. While we should probably focus on the academy phase first it also won't hurt to think about how we want to handle the war phase. That is, if everyone else agrees with doing the two phases.
Oh, and are the slitherers a thing? If so, are some of them playable characters or are they just NPCs that can be used by anyone? Sure, we should focus on creating more students first but it would be good to know for later on.

Yeah, I don't know haha I just thought I'd bring it up. I imagine stuff like that will fall into place during the academy phase anyway if we do both.
I don't have plans for the slitherers yet, but they would make a good antagonist for the later months, I think. If we use them, I figure a couple of the 'main players' could be rped as playable characters with smaller, less significant ones being NPCs.

Sounds good. As for the missions during the academy phase, you said some would be similar to the ones in the game. Does that include the assassination attempt on the Archbishop and the attempted raid of the Holy Mausoleum? It would give every group something to do to as they could guard multiple places. Like, one group protects the tower, another one the mausoleum and the third one uh... something else. We don't have to do that but I think it would be a fun mission to keep in.

Post by Sussuru on Mar 11, 2021 7:51:24 GMT -5
Sure! I think we should switch it up a bit if we're going to keep the more specific missions like those. They would be able to allow the three groups to do different things like you said so that's nice.

Awesome! Sure, I'm also looking forward to our own missions but a few from the games can be used really well.
Oh, and I'm working on a second Black Eagles character. Just wanted to let you know so you could mark that one down ^^ Ugh, and now I have to create a third crest... Why do I keep doing this to myself?

Hey, the more the merrier! I was actually wondering if I should put the student's names down too? On that note, I might as well post my Golden Deer character. Estelle Eaver | 16 | Female | Golden Deer | Noble | No Crest | Estelle is a 5’0 girl with long rose-gold tresses falling short at the small of her back. Her eyes are a shadowy indigo, framed by dark lashes. It could be said that she looks very much like you might expect a noble girl of her standing to look. She wears the standard Garreg Mach Academy uniform and owns a pocket watch that once belonged to her mother. | Estelle is a bright and curious girl with the kind of charm that encourages people to flock to her in droves. Her optimistic, idealistic outlook on life can cause her to appear ignorant and insensitive of other people’s struggles. The former is definitely true, having grown up firmly within the noble bubble of balls and fancy dinners, however, she is also very empathetic towards others which is clear to those who know her well. If she gives someone grief, you can be sure that she’ll make it up to them as soon as possible, quite possibly with gifts. Perhaps unlike some of the other nobles, she enjoys spending time with the commoners of her house and actively seeks them out because she wants to learn about the parts of the world she has missed out on - both the good and the bad. Regardless of their standing in society, so long as they are loyal and honourable, Estelle will want to befriend them. Alongside this, Estelle is an emotional person, tearing up over her favourite books or over gestures of affection, typically ruled more by her heart than her head. A small quirk of hers is that she is slow to grasp sarcasm. At night, she can often be found outside the dormitories, watching the stars, for which she is always appreciative of company. | Interests: stargazing, flying, singing | Likes: Astrophel (the family pegasus), stars, music, dancing, finery, romance | Dislikes: blood and gore, lack of hygiene, decisions | Altair Eaver, her father, bearer of the Major Crest of Arcturus, astronomer and owner of the largest observatory in Fódlan where they both live. | Estelle grew up with only her father and the workers of The Observatory as her family, her mother having died during childbirth. Said aforementioned observatory was established 11 years before Estelle’s birth and was what catapulted the Eaver family from being commoners to well-respected nobles. Altair Eaver, not wanting his daughter to experience the life of a commoner that he had, used his newfound wealth to provide only the finest things for her to eat, wear, anything her heart desired. The two have a very close relationship and Estelle often writes back to him and the observatory where she grew up. Like many of the young maidens at the monastery, she is looking to marry. | Her strengths are in reason, authority and flying, whilst her weaknesses are heavy armour, axe and lance | Sussuru |

Pineclaw Ahh, thank you! That's a big help. I'll add them asap. Ember34 Honestly, while I'm not against the idea of having the Ashen Wolves be a thing, I worry it'll give us too many characters to work with. I mean, we don't have the professors or the archbishop created yet and there will likely be knights and church staff as well. We could start off with the standard three and add the DLC house if we feel up to it?

You're welcome ^^
As for the Ashen Wolves, I guess that would be a good approach. We need to fill out all the houses too, after all. But once we're done with that and other important roles I'm all for having the Ashen Wolves!

Don't worry about making characters just to fill spaces, by the way. Yes, it is better if they are filled, but we can get around it by using NPCs if we need to! But, that said, I'm between Black Eagles and Golden Deer so either of those two and I'm fine c:

Here are the other characters I'm working on. I'll probably finish them today.
Professor of the Blue Lions - Sheesh. Am I done yet? I hope I haven't left anything out.
Konstantin Lukyan Fedorov| 31 | Male | Blue Lions | War Master | No Crest | Konstantin is a tall man with long dark brown hair that he usually ties into a pony tail. He has grey eyes. The armor he usually wears is similar to that of the knights, only much darker. | Konstantin is polite and respectful but also very strict to his students. He demands a lot of them but only because he knows what they are capable of. Every now and then he might actually crack a joke and he's not as unapproachable as he seems at first glance. He doesn't praise others often but when he does they can at least be sure that he truly means it and he likes to brag about his students as long as he thinks they're not around to listen. | Konstantin is very curious about other cultures so he enjoys talking to students from other houses and other countries. He's also interested in hunting. Being also interested in plants he can often be seen at the greenhouse. | Konstantin enjoys competition, making him participate in any tournament he's allowed to. It's also why he loves the Mock Battle and the Battle of the Eagle and Lion. He also enjoys socializing with the other church staff. | He has a small but not insignificant disdain for crests but keeps it to himself for his student's sake. Another thing he can't stand is cooking as he's absolutely hopeless when it comes to that. He doesn't like when people don't try their hardest as he hates nothing more than seeing potential being wasted. | His father is Demyan Khariton Fedorov and his mother's name is Yelena Inessa Fedorov. He has a younger brother, Alyosha Daniil Fedorov. | Born into a noble family Konstantin's path in live should have been set. Unfortunately he was born without the crest of Fedorov, much to his parent's shame and disappointment. Two years later his brother, Alyosha, was born. Demyan and Yelena greatly favored their second son but still made sure that both sons would get the best education. In his younger days Konstantin resented his brother and tried to outdo him at everything. He learned that there were things he was better at than Alyosha, despite having no crest. Gaining confidence from that knowledge he became a little friendlier towards his brother and began to help him train. They both studied at Garreg Mach, the younger one to become the next head of house Fedorov and the older to become a knight. Learning with his classmates however made him discover his love for training and teaching others, as he would usually help his friends when they were struggling with something. Years after graduating he came back to the monastery to become a professor. | Pineclaw | His strengths are Brawling, Authority and Lance. His Weaknesses are Sword, Bow and Flying. His family is in possession of the bow Hunter's Eye.|
My second Black Eagles student - done
Vincent von Marquardt | 18 | Male | Black Eagles | Noble | Minor Crest of Marquardt | Vincent is a tall young man with blond wavy hair about shoulder-length and brown eyes. | Vincent likes to treat others with respect, nobles and commoners alike, but he can be unintentionally condescending towards the latter. He's very patient with others but sometimes he's too lenient. Enjoying other people's company he can become annoyed with the more introverted individuals and tends to invade their personal space. He's confident but knows there's still much he can learn. While he's trying to be encouraging to others he's pretty bad at it, focusing more on being positive than helpful. | Vincent has a knack for dress-making and is very interested in it, fashion in general seems to be a subject of interest for him. He also has a great interest in crests and is very eager to learn more about them. | Vincent enjoys flying and spending time with wyverns. He also loves to fish. | Vincent doesn't care much for the people of the Kingdom of Faerghus, thinking they're taking their obsession with chivalry too far. He tries to get along with Blue Lions students anyway, not wanting anyone to think that the Black Eagles are rude. He also doesn't like tea. | Vincent is the son of Friedrich von Marquardt and his wife Gloria. He also has a little sister called Sophia. Open to crushes | House Marquardt is well respected and thus many people have high expectations for Vincent. Of the two children he's the only one with a crest which causes everyone to just ignore his sister. He thinks it is wrong of his parents to play favorites so much and does everything he can to make Sophia feel just as important is he is. The two started out having a close bond but over the years Vincent had less and less time for her. He still tries to be there for her but doesn't succeed as much as he would like to. | Pineclaw | His strengths are Axe, Flying and Riding. His weaknesses are Faith, Sword and Brawl. Has a talent for Lance. His crest lets him unleash the power of the bracelet Hagbone.|
