Discussion for Fire Emblem: The Great Divide

My issue is more scale than definition. Anyways, unless we're incorporating the math it's not too important right?

And I have an android emulator, yes

Is there anything wrong with naming my character "Rocangus MacPhearsome" and running a Scottish motif through Hawk nobility? What's been established about Hawk nobility anyways? The Hawk country is called Gauren, right?

Name: Rocangus MacPhearsome
Class: Hawk
Starting faction (rebels/militia): Militia
Gender: Male
Age: 196
Appearance:
Small relative to others his age. Bright orange hair and dark brown wings with grey speckles and black tips. Wears bandages wrapped around his hands, wrists, and forearms. Wears another series of bandages around his forehead, covering his eyes save for thin slits for him to see out of. Usually wears a tan coat with a green shirt, beige pants, brown leather shoes.

Personality:
Rocangus was born with a mental disorder similar to Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder. He is fixated mainly on amounts and measurements. If it occurs to him that there is an "amount" of something, he will be forced to know much of of it there is, no matter what it is, or else start to experience crippling anxiety. At his worst, he can't handle a messy table because he must count every object on it. Looking at a wall, he'll have to count every brick, and if he loses count, he'll start all over again. A bag of gold is a nightmare. Or worse? A bag of sand. He has 1572 feathers on his right wing and 1578 on his left wing. That being said, he's gotten really good at counting. In terms of measurements, once he discovered the beorc have things called "units" it was drilled into his head that you can count anything: the distance between any two points, the size and weight of any object, etc. The initial realization of this sent him into a frenzy, during which he was compulsed to simply burn everything down so there was nothing. He can transform into his hawk form, but its enhanced senses drive him insane. When you can see every blade of grass in a field...well, you get the picture.

However, he has a remedy. When he inhales the smoke of certain herbal blend, his anxiety and compulsions dissipate. As a result, he keeps a large amount of herb cigarettes on his person and smokes them frequently. He has a habit of isolating himself since the smoke is not pleasant to most other people, and especially not other bird laguz. This blend does not work on his hawk form (and how would a hawk smoke anyways?), so he is still not able to transform easily. He desperately wants a remedy that will work in hawk form though. He also knows how to trick himself. For example, he can approximate how much a bag of sand weighs, and from that extrapolate the number of grains inside of it. This, while not accurate, satisfies him, and was a necessary skill to learn in order to function in every day life.

Personally, he is very aloof, and interacts with others in general quite normally. He isn't quite charismatic, and he smells funny, so he wouldn't be the most popular. You wouldn't think there was anything wrong with him, other than the fact that he keeps a burning weed in his mouth. His disinterest in things is deliberate, since for him, it's a slippery slope between care and obsession.

Background:
The noble clan MacPhearsome of Gauren takes pride in their strength, wealth, and influence, but Rocangus fell outside that curve. He is the eldest child in the next generation of a powerful first-born MacPhearsome family that stretches back generations, but his "defection" happened to terminate this trend. He was often locked away for being ill, and his symptoms only got worse with age although he was forced to learn to respectfully cope with it. After incident where one of his anxiety attacks caused the accidental incineration of a merchant caravan, he was exiled (on mutually beneficial terms) to Solgen. He wished to separate himself from his family as to not harm their reputation any further. But more personally, he found that the smoke from that fire alleviated his symptoms, allowing him to even fly for the first time, and he hoped to find a beorc who could replicate this.

Since his arrival in Solgen 50 years ago, he managed to find company with some merchants. He was used to their ways due to his family's trade, and under his direction they managed to recreate the herbal blend from the caravan fire. In addition, he's found a way to utilize his obsessions in order to concoct vulneraries and other goods with vastly improved potency. His new "talent" has got him noticed by the nobles and militia of Solgen however, who want him to put his skills to work on something that does quite the opposite of healing.

Personal goal: To become strong enough to rejoin his family.

I was going to start with a lot of establishment, but plotwise I had nothing fixed. Sure we could start with him talking to the king.

Depending on how languages work in this work, I would say that he speaks with an accent that marks him as non-native. But that's probably not going to be too relevant since I'm not going to write out scottish phonetic differences.

Her name was Athena.

"Ve vill kill you."

I wouldn't mind being involved in plot stuff, but I don't think Rocangus is general material at all. Tactician maybe, but he can't fight. At least, not traditionally.

Hey! It's Caro! I remember that guy!

So... Is Caro gonna be the reverse Zihark(Branded Myr who hates Laguz instead of loving them) who challenges the Black Knight and gets his bum whupped?

Hmm... HD, what about being a more of a Tactician!General than a Warrior!General? In my mind, Bastian is a hardcore reformer and visionary, and he's always looking for new ways to move his people forward, into the future. So Bastian would definitely see more than a bit of potential in your little Scotsman- Scotshawk?- because he has a talent very few other Laguz can even understand.

After all, Beorc are only "superior" to Laguz because of their ability to think on a different level, which gives them a distinct technological and strategical advantage. But if you take that advantage away from them... If Laguz as a whole could bridge that gap, and learn to think the same way... Then the poor little Beorc wouldn't stand a snowflake's chance in Helheim. Knowing this, Bastian would want to use Roc's talents, even if making him a General pissed off the other Laguz.

Still, it's up to you. But I need to know soon, because I need the Hawk General to be ready before the RP can start.

Yay, Bastian is Ashnard 2.0!

I said "in my mind" for a reason, Crow. Obviously, Bastian is still a firm believer in a lot of Laguz traditions and customs. But that doesn't mean he can't be a reformer, or that he has to believe might solves everything.
