I'm most likely not joining this one too busy right now. _________________ [size=20]Gravity is a contributing factor in nearly 73% of all accidents involving falling objects.[/size]
Name: Alaric von Busse
Age: 17
Description: 5'9". Large eyes the color of burnt ash. An open, honest face with an easy, lopsided smile. Long, straight, midnight black hair bound in a ponytail. Sleek and athletic form. 168 lbs.
Class: Squire
Attitude: Although he has a bit of a competitive side, Alaric is very laidback when around friends. He is kindhearted and enjoys helping people, distressed damsels in particular, and he considers himself especially lucky when doing so causes others to notice and praise him. The main character flaws he suffers from are pride and overconfidence, a deadly combination should he ever not have the strength or skill to back them up.
Background: Alaric aspires to be a member of the cavalry like his father, the great knight Baron Duessel von Busse. Having a father in such a powerful position has both helped and in some ways harmed young Alaric. Ever since he was young he lived around horses, developing an almost unnatural bond with them. He began training for life as a knight earlier than most and if he has his way he will one day be the most powerful knight in the land. Of course, he would use that power to create a better, happier nation... but it certainly would also help in meeting women. (Chicks dig powerful dudes in armor)
Just recently a friend of Alaric's father passed away. Alaric had been away from home training during the time, and when he finally he returned he found out that he now had an adopted brother, Abel. At the same time he was also informed that the entire family had been invited to a banquet hosted by the king and queen. Alaric was thrilled at this... banquets meant maidens flocking to find a knight in shiny armor to support, and Alaric knew where they could find one. _________________
Okay, Daniel's character and my character have been changed a bit and are both approved.
That is, of course, unless anyone else wants to build off of or add to any existing backgrounds. If you do, just let me know.
Daniel and I are planning on starting the RP just for fun because we're bored for the weekend. This won't affect the plot once the actual RP gets going and we won't be leveling up without everyone else, so don't worry. _________________
I should have gone over equipment a bit better before now.
Don't get too attached to any one weapon, because in Fire Emblem weapons break after a certain number of turns using them (like 60). This is rather realistic, and unless we find a blacksmith who can repair our weapons on our journey we will be going through multiple weapons. Same can be said for tomes and recharging them.
For starting weapons you have a choice but they have to be the lowest tier ones because our characters aren't too skilled with the type of weapons we can use yet.
So, Daniel, I know you've already described your weapon, but what type of sword do you want it to be.
There's: rapier, shortsword, and longsword, and all of them iron.
The rapier doesn't weigh much and is eaiser to hit with but doesn't do as much damage. The longsword hurts more but also weighs more. The shortsword weighs as much as the rapier but isn't as easy to hit with because it does slightly more damage. _________________
Abel isn't going to be using the one he has. It has sentimental value to him I.E. it was his fathers. For sparring he's going to be using a standard longsword. _________________
"He finds you when you're sleeping, and when the daylight fades..."
Ah, good idea. Okay then. Let's go over combat now, hm?
Here are the stats for your weapon:
Iron longsword
Class- Sword - E
Range- 1
Weight- 5
Damage- 5
Bonus- None
Alaric is using a standard slim lance:
Iron slim lance
Class- Lance - E
Range- 1
Weight- 5
Damage- 4
Bonus- Skl +1
First you need to consider your weapon. Your sword has a weight of 5, and you only have a constitution of 4. For every point the weight of your weapon goes over your constitution, you lose one point of agility and one point of skill when attacking or defending. This isn’t permanent damage, and if you were to switch to a lighter weapon or get another point of constitution your stats would be restored, so don’t worry.
Okay, so in order to hit, you compare your own stats first to determine your accuracy. Skl*2 + Lck/2. Your skill is 2 (after the 1 point penalty) and your luck is 4. So you accuracy is 4+2=6.
Next you look at your enemy’s stats. Agi*2 + Lck/2. My agility is 2 and my luck is 3. So, my dodge rate is 4+1=5.
You’re accuracy is one point higher than mine. If they were equal you would have a 50/50 chance of hitting me. With each point higher (or lower) it changes by 2.5%.
So, you have a 52.5% chance of hitting me.
You don’t need to really worry about that or roll any dice or anything, but just try to keep it in mind. Fortunately we won’t be doing each other any damage, so we don’t even need to worry about that yet.
Let me know if you don't get something in here. I'm pretty sure though that if you just read it very carefully you'll understand, as it isn't too difficult. _________________
Alright, I get it. What I don't get is how a lance overpowers a sword. Lances are easy to read, therefore easy to dodge. And once you get past a certain point it's easy to take down the person using the lance. _________________
"He finds you when you're sleeping, and when the daylight fades..."
Not in my continuity it isn't. I'm actually not applying any bonuses for the weapon advantage triangle in this battle. But later on that's what will happen. The person with the weapon that trumps the other person's gets a +2 bonus to agility and skill and a +1 bonus to strength and defense.
There are also special 'reaver' weapons that turn the triangle around. The lancereaver sword has a bonus against lances.
Also, there are weapons that gives bonuses against certain types of units. There's a buster sword that is effective against mounted units. There's a wyrmslayer that is effective against wyverns, etc... _________________

I wish to join now. I'm not playing as Xavier, but his son Alphonse.
Name: Alphonse Kay von Alternon
Age: 17
Description: Brown hair, green eyes, handsome clear face, skinny, 6’, 195 lbs, lightly dark skin
Class: Novice
Attitude: Alphonse (Al) is basically wild, fun loving, mostly care-free kind of guy that’s kind of lazy (Won’t fight unless it’s for competition or he has to) and really is only serious when the time comes for it. He’s also very into the ladies and a bit of a show-off.
Background: Alphonse is the son of Lord Xavier von Alternon of the famous carriage company. This has allowed himself grand opportunities such as education and training from his father and his partner, Mack, who happened to be champion swordsmen of their generation along with the best chariot racers of their generation. Al has always been quite talented with knowledge, strength, balance, and of course the ladies much like his father.
He has been invited along with his father and Mack to a banquet hosted by the king and queen of his country due to their fame. _________________ It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all outta gum
