Awaken to Save the World

((I'm going to keep Robin gender-neutral for this post, but if anyone has a preference let me know. Otherwise I'll flip a coin, I guess.))

Robin had spent the morning stooped over a map in the armory, plotting out the locations of previous Risen attacks, and their hunch finally seemed to have some support to it.

"There," they said to themself, marking a point in the center of several red X's. It was within the forest, not too far from the Shepherds' camp. "Let's hope I'm right about this...or maybe I should hope I'm wrong."

They exited the armory, shielding their eyes as they adjusted to the bright midday light. Spotting Gangrel leaving his tent, Robin rushed over to meet him.

"Gangrel! Can you help me gather the others? I have something to show them in the armory," they exclaimed, and without waiting for a response, strode away toward Henry, who was sitting by himself on a log.

"Henry, I need to show everyone--what is that?" Robin asked mid-sentence, referring to the drawing scrawled in the dirt. "I thought it was clear that summoning Risen would just add to our problem, not fix it."

((If you plan on RPing romance, you should base it off of that. Who did you pair Robin with in the game?))

[KeruFaye]

((In my first game, I had a male tactician and he married Say'ri. I have a female tactician in my second playthrough who I haven't paired up yet because I'm only on Chapter 4 with her.

Honestly, it doesn't matter much to me.))

Ricken was going to tell Chrom that it was actually the way he spoke to him, but decided against it. It was probably better if he let Chrom believe he enjoyed taking inventory. He was right, though. The only real source of cheeriness around camp was Nowi, but she was always happy, unless she was pouting or sad. Geez, I'm the person most labeled as a child and I'M not as childish as she is! Ricken thought. Ricken saw Chrom's expression darken and decided to say something. "I'm just happy to help! I don't want to be a burden to everyone else."

[Darth Cookie]

Chrom shrugged. "You're not a burden. When you think about it, we're all burdens to ourselves. Dwelling in these dark thoughts all day. I just want to see some sunshine," he said with disgust. This wasn't the Chrom most of the Shepherds knew. The pressure to "save the world" and all for a second time was finally getting to him. He grunted from the effort of walking. He hated his new ankle injury, received by the chief of a Risen pack. It just slowed Chrom down, and that was the absolute last thing he needed.

Ricken frowned. "Chrom... are you okay? You... You don't sound like the same Chrom that saved me from bullies and wolf packs out of the kindness of his heart*. You look pretty tired as well," Ricken commented, a bit of worry evident in his voice. The Chrom he was speaking too now sounded too... cruel to be the Chrom he looked up to. "Maybe you should take a break?"

(Just now saw that Robin was talking to Henry X3)

At the sound of Robin's voice, the rabbit that Henry was talking to darted away in fear. "Wait! No! Come back!" Henry called after the fluffy white mammal before turning to glare at Robin. "You scared off my friend!" He then paused before answering Robin's question. "Can't I just draw runes for fun? What would you rather I draw, a bunny being eaten by wolf?"

(*That actually happened, he mentioned it in a support conversation with Lissa, I think.)

[Manakete]

((Sorry for not posting. I was busy after that first one and when I finally got around to replying, someone made the internet go out))

Nah turned at the sound of her name being called, thinking it was Nowi. "Mom? Oh, Cordelia, it's you." She halted in midair, beating her wings gently. "Do you need something?" She asked with a pleasant smile. She was constantly being approached due to her being a manakete, but she was somewhat shy. In her future, she was pretty isolated. She never had to talk to anyone, she was self-sufficient. Here, teamwork was crucial. It was a change, not entirely unwelcome, but awkward.


Gangrel moved to respond to Robin, but was left alone in a flash. He sighed. "It's better than doing nothing, at least. Now, how to go about calling everyone... I could scream like a poor damsel in distress." He pulled his hand up to his forehead in a mock faint, then smiled and chuckled at himself. "Or I could politely intrude on everyone's private doings, both inside their tents and elsewhere. Or I could simply pass the task onto someone else... What a fine idea." With that, he set off in search of someone else to do the chore Robin had in mind for him. Sure, he had wanted to do something, but this did count as 'something', right?

[KeruFaye]

((Ok, I've decided. Since there are fewer females than males being played, Robin shall be female.))

Having approached Henry from behind, Robin failed to see his fluffy animal friend until it fled into the woods, a blur of gray and white. Henry tried to call it back, but failed, and turned to glare at her. Maybe it was because he hardly ever opened his eyes, but the look he gave Robin caused the hair on the back of her neck to stand up. She even started to sweat a little.

"S-Sorry," she stammered, unnerved. His pause allowed her to recover some composure, and she responded to his question. "Well...I mean I guess, but with you I can never tell when you're joking or serious. Unless you make those godawful crow puns..." She stopped, trying to get back to the matter at hand. "Anyway, I need everyone to come to the armory. It's very important."

[Blaze Crimson]

Henry's glare ceased, a look a curiosity on his face. "Really? Huh. Well, if it's important, then I guess I can forgive you for scaring off my friend." He suddenly grinned. "Maybe he was just CAWstraphobic!" Henry laughed at his own pun. "Now that he's alone, I'm sure he's feeling a HEX of a lot better!" Henry laughed some more, grinning even wider. "Alright, I'll come," Henry stated, his laughter finally ceasing.

{ Aaaaaah really hope this is still accepting ;A; I was searching for a Fire Emblem Awakening roleplay for a while, and this doesn't seem crazy lit so I don't have to get all stressed out ahaha -I'm in my final year of highschool so I'm cray busy- but ANYWAYS!

Username: Clarice Starling
Character Name: Lon'qu
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Age: 28
Roleplaying Sample:
Lon'qu rolled his shoulders once, his brows furrowed with concentration and his mouth locked in a firm line. Adjusting his grip on his blade, 'Killing Edge,' he let out a slow whoosh of breath to steady himself before setting off into a flurry of motion. To an outsider watching, all of his movements exuded a particular grace and elegance that was both undeniable and a little frightening. Lon'qu was deadly with a blade, that much was certain, and his skill spoke to the infinite practice he put into perfecting his craft. The light tinkling of an amused snort could be heard from nearby, and pausing in his exercises Lon'qu stood up straight and looked around for the offensive creature who dared to laugh at his swordplay. He spotted an odd looking woman then, with rabbit like ears and hair wreathing around them, a woman he recognized immediately as Panne. Instantly stiffening Lon'qu sprang back and gave her a glare that was mixed with both fear and anger.
"What are you doing here. Watching me?! Go away, I h-have no use for women here!" She appeared completely unaffected by Lon'qu's obvious discomfort with her presence, and crossed her arms over her chest before shooting him a faintly snide look.
"I think your skill is slipping with the blade man-spawn." She rumbled out with a laugh, "and your heart is racing. Do I...frighten you?" She slid closer to him, and Lon'qu took some more hasty steps backwards.
"I simply dislike women, they're distracting and a poor c-companion on the battlefield." He grumbled, narrowing his eyes further at her, though the beads of sweat sliding down his temple betrayed his true nervousness at her presence.

Username: Clarice Starling
Character Name: Panne
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Age: 27
Roleplaying Sample:
Panne looked around the camp with a decidedly unimpressed look on her face. Though she had remained with the Shepherds after the fall of Grima, though gods knew why she had decided to stay with these foul man-spawns, Panne still found that she was not exactly at ease among them. They certainly were nothing like Taguel's, and despite herself Panne couldn't help but feel a particular pang of disappointment at the lack of community she felt with most of them. She was an outsider no matter what anyone else might have said, and that wasn't exactly something she liked. Still, a bond had been formed through their exploits against the Risen and Grima's forces, plus the fact that she had no warren to go back to, ended with her choosing to stay with them. Panne hadn't the foggiest inkling of where this decision would take her, but for the time being she was resigned to it.

{ kinda lumped a bit of Panne's sample rp post into Lon'qu's xD Hope that's alright haha <3 }
