Whelp, I kept this open for as long as I could... The key word here was 'lost', folks. The correct answer was A.
Feyna- Lost in the Dragonbone Crypts.
Tempest- Lost in the Dragonbone Crypts.
Glacier- Lost in the Dragonbone Crypts.
Lynne- Lost in Chapter 2.
Question #2
Who was the very first PC you met in UB?
To answer, post the name of the character.

No wait, it was Father Tom. He was the one who gave the opening narration.

Whoa, things happened.
Tom Foolery/Father Tom gave the opening narration, as slykirby said. I'm voting for him.
(Father) Tom Foolery
The opening scene is this (bolded is mine): "In a time long before recorded history, a tremendous battle was waged," the wizened old priest told the group of children huddled around him like a campfire. The oldest child among the group, a young boy no more than ten, let out a derisive scoff. "We all know about the War of Creation father. Our teachers drill that into us already at regular school. Must we hear that lame story here too?" A couple of the other children chuckled. However, the priest merely smiled. Not a patronizing smile mind you, but the kind smile of one who has the patience of a saint. " Ah, but this version of the tale is a little different from the story you are so familiar with my child. I have decided to impart onto you the secret history that only a select few know of." This, of course, captured the children's attention as it was designed to. Even the unruly one who spoke before now waited for the priest to continue with bated breath. The priest inhaled a deep swig of air before continuing where he left off. " Now you all know, in the beginning there was naught but the Endless Void. And then, much like the original tale, the first of five miracles, or the Father Miracles as described by the Book of Ten Thousand Stars, occurred. Into this sea of nothingness came The Creator, himself from nothing, and he bore within him the Will of Time. The Creator looked out upon the Void with sad eyes, but in the end he chose to do nothing." This confused the priest's immature audience as it was vastly different from what they had been told before. "But," the eldest piped up, "That doesn't make any sense father. That's not what my teacher said." The priest motioned for silence, which the children obeyed. "Let me finish little ones. The Creator chose to do nothing because as sad as this Endless Void was, it was still perfectly balanced. But Fate had other designs. For as soon as The Creator shut his eyes, for even The Creator himself needs to sleep, his left arm, the Dragon of Chaos looked upon the Endless Void with greedy eyes. The Chaos Dragon, Yormungand, wanted it all. And so while The Creator slept Yormungand hatched his evil scheme. He tried to take The Creator's life and with it His power but was foiled by the Creator's right arm, Galgarath, the Dragon of Order. And so, my children, began the unending war between Order and Chaos, also known as the War of Creation, that shaped our universe." - Excerpt from a mere Priest's journal, chronicling his talk with his students on the Book of Ten Thousand Stars
-
Edit:
Not having read through the entire CYOA for awhile, can I get some questions answered?
A) Were we planning to pair Nina with anyone specifically?
B) Who is currently unpaired or not currently planned to pair with someone?
C) What chapter are we on, anyways?

A) Were we planning to pair Nina with anyone specifically? B) Who is currently unpaired or not currently planned to pair with someone? C) What chapter are we on, anyways? Yay! Two correct answers! That means I can lock the vote! Father Tom is indeed the correct answer. Now, as per your questions... A) There had been some talk of pairing her up with Mori(A male Fox Laguz you'll recruit in the Laguz Village) but even that was minimal and it happened a while ago. For the most part, people have been ignoring poor Nina, as usual. B) Erm... That's actually quite a list. I assume you mean out of the male characters that are currently in your party? Lemme check real quick. *Checking* *Checking* *Checking* *3 Results Confirmed* Out of your current party, there are three males who have not been paired with anyone as of now. They are Lance, Felix, and Mithos. Although, now that I think about it... I think a couple people were talking about pairing Mithos and Nina once or twice. C) We are still technically on Chapter 13(Longest chapter in history I know). However, we are doing Nagi's Paralogue right now. If you don't know who she is, I'll let you go back and read. The choices now are regarding a special dream sequence battle, which is happening in Nagi's dreams. |

That's good, we still have 5 chapters.
What the hell, Mithos x Nina, full steam ahead. or Mori, I guess. What chapter is the Laguz Village in?
I'm pretty sure I know what's going on, just not the chapter (It's been going on for months now- the extra quest with the ghost girl and now this paralogue). Haven't seen this thread for awhile, but I went back and read what I missed before I posted.

I'm pretty sure I know what's going on, just not the chapter (It's been going on for months now- the extra quest with the ghost girl and now this paralogue). Haven't seen this thread for awhile, but I went back and read what I missed before I posted. The Laguz Village is in Jotunheim, but it can be accessed at any time. You just have to recruit Terra first. Terra's Paralogue(Recruiting Paralogue, not story Paralogue like this) is already unlocked. You can start it by visiting any Hunter's Guild branch with no active quest selected. So, if you go back to the Guild after finishing Ligertastic, Thunder Bird 1, and Wastelands of Time(Which you should do anyway, to turn in the finished quests and get your rewards) then you'll get the activation scene for Terra's Paralogue. Honestly, this chapter will probably last a couple months longer at least, because I think a lot of people want to recruit Tiamat, Atlas, Fenrir, Grima, and Loptyr first, which means completing both the Cloven Council arc and the Goddess's Tower arc, and visiting both the Immortal Forest and Jotunheim. I'll be straight with you though, this is the best time to do it. Unlike this chapter, the next 5 Chapters will go by very, very quickly, and after Chapter 18, you can't visit the Mainland again until after Chapter 27, and even then, you won't have free access to Sidequests again until Chapter 30. A lot of stuff will be locked and/or unavailable to you by then. And all those OP characters may mean the difference between life and death after Chapter 18. The difficulty spike from Book 2 Part 1 to Part 2 is extreme. It's like jumping from Hard Difficulty in Awakening straight to Lunatic+, except worse, because I don't do artificial difficulty. The enemy AI becomes vastly smarter, they start Pairing Up like your units can, enemy stats and skills get a major boost, and you have to fight literally every single leader of the Culture, including both Charon and Jeckel. And these are fights you must win. So yeah. I wouldn't be too excited if I were you. There's a legitimate reason why I'm giving you guys all this free roam now. Also, you do need to complete the Sidequest True Mines of Minos as soon as possible. Remember, if you don't, you are automatically locked into the Bad Ending. The CYOA will end after Chapter 40 then. |

...Oh.
Wonderful.
Mithos may be better, then. At least he's recruited.
Ugh.
So, within the span of 5 chapters (which are pretty short), we need to marry off at least one (if not more) character, recruit several more, finish the True Mines of Minos, finish the Cloven Council and Goddess' Tower arcs, etc., etc.

So, Mori will come in late? Darn! I'm a fan of same-species pairings, but it can't be helped. I need to hurry up and finish topic 4-6 so I can get back to this.
*Sigh* Time-management.
Guess I'll follow Lumi's response for the pairing.

UB has a large cast, and not all characters receive a lot of screentime. But this doesn't make them any less important. Freya's sister, whom you recently met, once served alongside Philla, Reyna, and Eva and the four are good friends. Freya herself once served under Eva. Mithos is secretly related to another Wyvern lover in the cast. Nina's father once saved the life of a certain Manakete, though said Manakete does not realize Nina is that man's child. Cole and Nene both have a startling secret. Lance and Felix are actually the children of Gallagher's old friend and mentor. Nemia is actually from the Na'am archipelago. The Tigress Bryn is the key to building a lasting relationship between the Mainland and Jotunheim. And the Dancerkete Artemis is perhaps the best hope for a prosperous future, not Trail.
Everything is connected. Nothing I do is without purpose. And this brings us to our next question...
Question #3
Why have I, as a writer and storyteller, gone through the trouble of making Sonia and her family complex characters, and playable characters to boot, when I have previously stated that they do not permanently join you? Why have I gone through the trouble of fleshing them out, when doing so has given me weeks of writer's block?

Everyone else is purely optional. |

Because they're going to be very important to the plot.

Why have I gone through the trouble of fleshing them out, when doing so has given me weeks of writer's block? No! All these character relations were secrets I wanted to find out myself. Dragons... *Sobs* Happy factor has been reduced. Anyway, and as a writer myself, we never add characters that have no use to the plot. A. She is the key to Nagi getting her memories back. B. She's important to recruiting a character or getting a weapon we need for a good ending or saving another character from death. |

-_- Then you shouldn't be reading this far ahead, Fen-Fen. It's your own fault. Not that those relations were spoilers. Cause they weren't.
Anyway, I'm looking for a single specific answer.
Hint: The answer is closer than you may think.

Closer is the key word, I believe.
Unfortunately, I'm stumped.
Gah.

Instead of a few hours, I left the poll open for 3 days. And still no more votes. Have my loyal voters finally abandoned me?  Well... I went ahead and rolled the RNG, cause I'm nice and wanted to give you guys a chance, but Anna says no. The correct answer was because Sonia and Eren are related to another character in the cast. I thought that would be simple, given my speech about character relationships. So anyway, time for the next question. Question #4In what year of what era did the Great War begin? Hint: The first amnesiac dragon Paralogue. |
