#ethel x cammuravi

[thaisibir]

Kevesi and Agnian Heroes living in the City headcanons

-Ethel and Cammuravi make literally everything a competition (who can run the most laps around the entire City, who can eat the most torpedo wraps in one sitting, good ol' fashioned brawls at the wrestling ring, etc)

-Alexandria tried to enroll in university but was turned away for being too young. High school quickly bored her to tears. It begged the university to get Aionios's resident smartass off their hands. The university finally caved in and let her enroll to study business and IT.

-Valdi is everyone's go-to guy for fixing Levnises, of course. He insists on bunking in the tech quarter, forgoing actual furnished rooms in the residential quarters.

-Cammuravi was initially treated as a walking fire hazard until Ethel and the Ouroboros gang convinced people that he will not in fact burn down the entire City, by accident or otherwise.

-Fiona regards the park as her favorite spot in the City. She's the City kids' favorite playmate.

-Isurd is a new member of the City's tabletop and board game club. He got Zeon to join when he mentioned that some games are farming sims.

-Miyabi joins the City street performers, alternating between her flute and fans to entertain folks with music and dance.

-Not wanting to steal Ethel and Cammuravi's thunder as already established sparring instructors, Teach spends much of his time at the university to learn how gentler arts are being taught.

-Zeon is absolutely enthralled by the concept of greenhouses and balcony gardens.

-Ethel's second home is the City library. The senior librarian is practically her adopted mother.

-Juniper spends more time outside the City than in it, patrolling and exploring the wilderness outskirts to their heart's content.

-Ashera is the resident terror among Lost Number recruits and soldiers. She's always showing up to the training facility uninvited, joking about eating them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, depending on the time of day. Ethel swatting her off like a fly is a daily occurrence. ("Ash please go away, I already fought you yesterday, you're scaring the poor recruits")

-Isurd becomes a regular at the City's most popular massage parlor and acupuncture clinic. It's very hard for Taion to hold a proper conversation with him there when he's emitting satisfied "oohs" and "aahs" every five seconds.

-Despite stating precautions and giving warnings to discourage any derring-do, Juniper is not popular among parents for being a "bad influence" on their children, who want to slide down ziplines willy nilly. They have to limit their sliding to nighttime, when the kids are in bed.

-It was Fiona's idea to grow more flowers around the Remembrance Stones. City folks backed the project and believe the place has become even more lovely and precious for it.

-Valdi has his own names for all the City Automatons. Half the Lost Numbers think it's endearing and the other half think it's downright annoying.

-One day Hollis gathered all of them at the medical facility to sit down for The Talk. Alexandria and Teach took meticulous notes. Zeon, who had just grasped mastering how to grow potatoes, was hopelessly confused. Juniper, a veteran at growing potatoes, was just as confused. Ashera kept making faces like something had died in the room. Valdi nodded along politely, but really couldn't care less about something that's not at all like making Levnises. Fiona and Miyabi thought the whole thing was simply magical. Isurd stared off into space, mulling over that kind of possibility with a certain someone who loves saffronias. Ethel and Cammuravi looked around everywhere but at each other, their faces red as Noah's jacket.

[xenoblade-chronicles-brackets]

Alright, so I'm prepping the Veteran Party Member Countdown Poll, and the main criteria for this list is that a character should be someone who joins the party as an established veteran in comparison to the main character(s), and preferably someone whose experience allows them to guide the main character, be it in life, battle, the world, whatever.

The obvious candidates are Dunban and Riki from 1. Nagi from X (having still not played the game, I'm basically just taking your word on this one), Vandham, Mòrag and Zeke from 2 and Monica from 3, but that only fills seven out of the twelve potential slots, so I am considering if they can be filled further.

The original ask proposed Addam, but I'm not sure if he can be considered a veteran compared to the main character Lora (granted, the original ask did say Heroes, so if it's Heroes/Veterans, he could get in on that, then again his hero status was more something he gained during Torna than something he was renowned as going into it).

Shulk and Rex were proposed since they're definitely veterans compared to Matthew, but at the same time, they're very early joins in FR, as opposed to Dunban in 1, so that puts them on shaky grounds.

Any of the Kevesi and Agnians are also on Shaky grounds for veteran status, since one of the two main characters (Mio) is older than... all of them, and I don't think Mwamba and Hackt are the material we're looking for here. A case can be made for Ethel and Cammuravi, but Ethel only joins very temporarily as *the* Ethel, and the one you get lategame is a different reincarnation who is actually a first termer in a tenth termer's body. Cammuravi also has that problem without even boasting of a temporary join. Teach could potentially be up for consideration, definitely seeming to have more experience than five of the six Ouroboros members, but still younger than Mio.

Melia and Nia are also candidates, but since you can only recruit them in post game, their status as party members is probably non-canon.

Mostly just throwing this out here to hear what you guys think on the matter. Currently I'm most strongly leaning towards throwing in Shrex and making it a 9 entry poll.

For a tangible example of this- this is why video games have their Main Story quests, as well as their Character Specific side quests, and their more "generic" side quests- to use the Xenoblade games as an example, since they're really good at this:

In each Xenoblade game, the Main Story Quests are exactly that: The quests that push the main story forward. Very self-explanatory. In Xenoblade X, the Character-Specific side quests are Affinity Missions- Gwin and Lao's Affinity Missions are even required for the main story. The only Affinity Mission that doesn't include at least one party member is the one about Ga Jiarg and the Wriothians, which is often used as evidence for a theory that he was supposed to be a party member but got cut for time, and is also a direct echo of Melancholy Tyrea in XC1, which was the only side quest in the game to have voiced cutscenes. In Xenoblade 2, the Character-Specific side quests are Blade Quests, of which each Rare Blade (Except the New Game Plus exclusive ones) have one- and even some Legendary Blades have "Unofficial" Blade Quests in the form of Common Quests for which they're required, like Aegeaon and Roc. And in 3, the Character-Specific quests are Hero/Ascension Quests- Hero Quests, which unlock Hero party members, several of which are required for story progression, and Ascension Quests, which increase the max rank of each class, of which two are required- for Mio and Noah- and the only party members to not have an official "Ascension Quest" are Ethel and Cammuravi. And, finally, in XC1, while the least clearly defined, each character has two quests that unlock their fourth and fifth Skill Branches, which require that they be in the lead to accept. And, of course, I would be remiss to not also bring Melancholy Tyrea up here, too.

And, as for Generic Quests, which would be the closest video games have to "Filler episodes", even these give valuable insights. (Most of my examples for this will be from XC1, since that's the game I know the best, but these are present in all of the games) For (basically) every named Side Quest in XC1, one party member will have a unique comment during the acceptance dialogue if they are present in the party. Probably the most iconic/memorable example of this is in Getting To Know Dorothy, which contains the "Well excuse me, princess!" meme reference directed at Melia, but all of these comments give excellent insight into the party members- and, some quests, such as Out Like a Light? have moments/objectives where each character has unique dialogue, giving insight into their character. These are brilliant examples of how to flesh out characters, even more so than the Heart-to-Hearts, I'd argue, since you HAVE to go out of your way to do those, whereas you can just stumble upon unique comments.

Without these moments of character development, big and small, the characters in these stories would be far less compelling, and the overall story would be FAR less impactful. You care about the Telethia because you care about Melia. You care about the Colony 9 Mechon attack because you care about Shulk, Reyn, Fiora, and Dunban. You care about Colony 6 because you care about Sharla. Without caring about those characters, you wouldn't care about their conflicts and plot threads- and if you didn't care about those, you wouldn't care about the story as a whole. Obviously, this is just one example, but it illustrates, on a grander scale, why character is ESSENTIAL to storytelling- there's a reason your English teachers taught you that it's the most important element of a story, even more so than setting and plot. And that's why. A game with a bad story can be saved by good characters- just look at Kingdom Hearts 3. But a good story is not enough to make up for bad characters, which is why so many other stories fail.

A Semi-Formal Xenoblade 3 OC Post

May as well organize the OC lore from the other day into one post, and add some new stuff.

THE BASICS:

Name/Title: Shockwave Thea (name might change, title’s good though)

Gender: Female

Age: 7th term (16)

Race: Blade (lightning element)

Affiliations: Colony Delta, Agnus

BACKSTORY AND RELATED STUFF:

Thea’s generally a pretty nice person, always looking out for the others in Colony Delta. Doesn’t take care of herself enough since she’s busy worrying about the others. She refuses to let anyone from Delta be hurt, and does her best to prevent enemies from attacking in the first place. With Cammuravi dead, she became the commander of Colony Delta (don’t ask me where it is I have no idea), wanting to continue his legacy as a leader of honorable warriors. She and the others in Delta respect Ethel despite her being a Kevesi commander after she spared him in their first battle.

If she was a Hero, her quest would involve the party fighting the members of Colony Delta, believing they were the ones who killed Cammuravi. Her Ascension quest would involve the current incarnation of Cammuravi reuniting with the people of Delta (also maybe meeting Ethel, either way Thea is still the adopted Ethelravi kid).

CLASS DETAILS:

Class: Bastion/Bastion Warrior (2nd is a Xenoblade X class name and we need all the rep we can get, but I think just Bastion sounds better)

Weapon: It’ll either be a halberd (similar to Cammuravi’s lance but still distinct), a gatling gun (one of the Bastion Warrior’s weapons in X), or a flail (I just think it’s neat).

Role/Nationality: Agnian Defender

Specializes in preventing enemies from attacking. Has a Launch art and can inflict Accuracy Down, don’t think I can do much more than that without making her broken.

I’ll add art and skill names after I settle on a weapon, I don’t know enough to make effects/descriptions for them though.

APPEARANCE:

This picrew is good enough for the face/general vibes, don’t think there’s any character creator that could let me get a fitting outfit for her. Making her look like the lightning Blade that she is would also be a pain since I don’t think there’s any where I could add stuff like a core crystal, ether lines, or other stuff to fit the theme.

[ship-ambrosia]

Shout out to Xenoblade 3 finally giving “ship-ambrosia” a Xenoblade ship to care about

It’s Ethel x Cammuravi btw 🤪

No spoilers but I want the gang to meet cammuravi and he’s like Ah yes I will be your father figure. And then Ethel shows up and is just like are we both adopting this group of children? And Noah and gang are like yes you are our parents now kiss

[bigbrotherw]

I am laughing too hard on Alexandra and Valdi's coupling.

Sex is the last thing on both their minds.

[frickingnerd]

dating ethel & cammuravi

pairing: ethel x gn!reader x cammuravi

tags: frenemies to lovers, wholesome fluff, supportive!cammuravi, established polyamorous relationship, physical affection

both of their love language is fighting! they do not know how to show their affection towards anyone, due to being raised as soldiers, so they fight a lot

it's not really arguments but rather sparring together. you wonder if they try to impress each other or you with their fighting skills (spoiler: it's both)

they really seem like they hate each other sometimes when fighting, but then afterwards are able to normal talk to each other ane chat about the most meaningless things

ethel and cammuravi take a lot of pride in their strength and therefore both want to show it off, by protecting you!

they are always overly cautious when it comes to you. they'll beat each other up during sparring but they'll treat you so delicately that you'd think you're made of glass or something

cammuravi always carries your bags and holds any door open for you, while ethel always has her hands on you, holding onto you, just in case something happens

cammuravi and ethel wouldn't call each other clingy, but with how overprotective they are, you might just think they're clingy!

when the three of you cuddle, cammuravi is usually in the middle, due to how nice and warm he is! especially during winter the three of you cuddle more

since both of your partners are leaders of their own colony, you are highly respected as well by other soldiers

most of your time is spent with ethel however. even cammuravi likes her colony enough to spend a lot of time there, always freaking out kevesi soldiers when they see an agnian commander casually walk through their colony…
