Discussion for Fire Emblem: The Great Divide

Stefan is WoG though!

Branded are not half-Laguz.

They are humans who have a Laguz ancestor. That's a big difference. They are entirely human but happen to have a little mark on them, that's it.

Can someone clarify this? Cause that's kinda like saying half-manaketes aren't half-dragon half-human. I would really appreciate it.

Because, from the way I see it, Branded just can't shapeshift, and we just discussed that not every Branded's mark appears on them. I don't trust the wiki completely.

Okay, THIS is what in getting, which is easy to see how it was misunderstood.

A child from a Laguz and beorc are half-human half-Laguz, but a descendant isn't, no? That's what I was trying to explain. The descendent is Branded and purely beorc, but the child resulting from the initial pairing is half-Laguz half-human, but has zero shapeshifting and special abilities.

Yes, and that Laguz parent doesn't really make them half-Laguz since the child is still completely human in every way, shape, or form except for a slim chance of having a seemingly unrelated special ability.

Yeah. That's where my misunderstanding came in at. So, technically since my second character results directly from a Laguz and beorc... She's technically half-Laguz and half-beorc with no powers, but her descendants will be pure beorc branded.

Am I right? Or am I still missing something? If I'm right, that's good, and this sily thing can be over.

There is no difference between the "first" Branded and his descendants who are Branded.

Even if a Branded's parent is a Laguz, they are not "Half-Laguz" in any sense beyond relationships. The Branded are humans.

So the laguz will eventually die out if they allow cross breeding. Interesting....
