The Timeline of Awakening is wack, I like how they lost access to cannon and motor vehicle technology and gained nothing else in 2000 years!

wtf tumblr didn't tell me i had this ask it's dated from over a week ago. sorries. anyways RIGHT LMAOOOO they lost these things but they gained glasses! and that's all that matters! <3 even though the cannon and motor vehicle technology is way more advanced than what the timeline's currently got <3

Inktober Day 11: Wander

"The spell slinger Etzel vanished after the war as quickly as he came, His wanderings took him around the world for years to come."

---

Name: rai

Pronouns: anything

Birthday (no year): may 17

Where are you from? What is your time zone? us east coast, so est

Roleplay experience: .................. i have to count every time. i think around 18 years now?

Got any pets? nope

Favorite time of year: autumn! november especially

Some interests and things you like: rping is 75% of my life so it embodies most of my free time. otherwise, running and playing ttrpgs, playing games, reading

Some funfacts & trivia about you: i can shake my eyeballs

What non-Fire Emblem games do you play? genshin impact, pokemon, i might sign myself away to hsr tomorrow. i'll give just about any good old turn-based jrpg a try when it comes out

Favorite Pokemon type & Pokemon: flying & raichu ---

How did you get into Fire Emblem? had to have been right before graduation from undergrad, i walked into gamestop and saw fire emblem: fates had just released. decided to give it a shot on a whim. my best friend at the time had played awakening, so i decided to get into the series. binged the rest of it just about straight through from there, starting with fe6

What Fire Emblem games have you played? all except ( ree forgets this every time ) the jugdral games HAHA also still halfway through new mystery

First Fire Emblem game: fe fates: birthright

Favorite Fire Emblem game: fe6: binding blade

Any Fire Emblem crushes? probably endless ksjnglskg. nishiki is maybe the closest i think. oh and lucina.

If you’ve played the following games, who was your first S support? - Awakening: lucina. i don't think i ever s-supported anyone elSE - Fates: nishiki - Three Houses: uhhhhh was it felix? or was it dimitri idr. i think it was felix - Engage: gregory

Favorite Fire Emblem class: NOMAAAAAAAAD

If you were a Fire Emblem character, what would be your class? i've been told mage > dark knight which seems to check out with the fact that my boss insists that my d&d class would be warlock with eldritch being as my patron

If you were a Three Houses character, what would be your affiliation? probably black eagles tbh

If you were an Engage character, which Emblem would you Engage with? i'm not sure what qualifier this is based on ksjlskgml i'd like to believe leif? but probably closer to veronica or soren ---

How did you find TOA? well.

Current TOA muses: caeldori, nel, rosado

Who was your first TOA muse? If you don’t have them anymore, could you see yourself picking them up again? felix. for a while after i dropped him i thought i had run the gambit with him in terms of narrative i wanted to explore and figured he was going on the top shelf. but the last half year or so he's been wanting to come back...

Have you had any other TOA muses? YIKES, have i. felix, sety, idunn, volug, leif, yuri, kurthnaga, ephraim, lucius, etzel

Do you think you have a type of character you gravitate towards? most common ones are probably the Sad Sack Sages ( hi etzel, sety ), fiery boys with hearts of gold ( felix, leif ), and dark paladins ( nel, felix ). i also really like chaotic neutral trickster types, but aren't usually confident enough in my ability to write for them haha

What do you believe you enjoy writing the most? action scenes for sure. any scene where there's external momentum driving things forward and giving a sense of momentum and urgency. also just anything that lets me worldbuild or exploring facets of worldbuilding hehe

Favorite TOA-related memory: that's a hard one. probably the final week of arcadia, our first lore event. all the teams ended up in boss battles, but they weren't the guaranteed staple of lore event endings like they are now. it just kind of happened because that's where the stories ended up. the collaborative scene-building and sense of camaraderie in the fights against gricenchos and gofannon are still unmatched for me to this day. they felt like dynamic scenes right out of a lord of the rings movie

How do you pronounce TOA? as the letters haha tee-oh-ay

Got any delusions that didn’t see the light of day in TOA that you’d like to share? i have constant delusions. i've been saying since ferp that i want to play eltshan someday and never have LOL. bringing lester into toa. bringing zeiss to toa. i have a url saved for lyre. it kind of feels wrong not having a single muse from either jugdral or tellius HAHA

[erikensa]

ending the year with (winter) etzel

[fefuckability]

ROUND 2: I have been informed there might be a dead wife in this equation? Discuss

Feel free to rb/comment with your reasoning!

Everyone update on the fire emblem shadow dragon playing, I’ve got to like… chapter 20! Maybe I’m just a strategical god but this honestly hasn’t been so bad! Now that I’m promoting everyone too, things are just getting easier

The brief major spark notes are:

- The current team is Marth, Cain, Abel, Caeda, Norne, Cord, Lena, Matthis, Wolf, Athena, Radd, Minerva, Horace, Palla, and Etzel, with Julian and Est currently warming the bench. Everyone else has been sacrificed for good stat gains, or flat out not recruited (It started with Beck and Astram, then I purposely went out of my way not to pick up Samson or Arran cause I hate them lovingly, and then recently I just killed Tiki!)

- Palla is really good by the way like what. Great levels up so far, fits right on the team and she’s not even promoted

- Speaking of promotions, Norne is now a sniper and no longer has 5 fucking movement thank GOD

- The GAY RIGHTS javelin broke but it’s ok we made a GAY RIGHTS2 javelin, even better than before!

- Camus is a little bitch. Nyna you can do better (just also not Hardin)

Anyway yeah that’s it!

[etymology-of-the-emblem]

Etzel / エッツェル and Ursula / アーシェラ

Etzel (JP: エッツェル; rōmaji: ettseru) is a traveling sorcerer who seeks to end the war that stole his wife's life in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and New Mystery of the Emblem. Typically written in Japanese as エツェル (rōmaji: etseru), Etzel is the name the Germanic peoples used in reference to Atilla, ruler of the Hunnic Empire. He and his ever-expanding territory were dreaded by the Byzantine and Roman Empires alike. Contrary to the common warmongering image associated with him, Etzel would be depicted in Germanic legends as a benevolent and tragic figure. In the poems and legends of Dietrich von Bern, when he is exiled from his land of Bern (modern-day Verona) by his evil uncle, he finds refuge in the court of Etzel - despite the fact that the historical Theodoric the Great was born after the yoke of the Huns had been cast off the land. His most famous appearance would be in the Nibelungenlied, in which he took Kriemhild of the Burgundian royal family as his second wife years after the death of her husband Siegfried in a jealous feud with the queen. Some claim that Etzel married Kriemhild to claim the fabled treasure of the Burgundians; others say Kriemhild accepted the proposal to play a part in a scheme to exact revenge on her lover's killers. Regardless of the telling, the Burgundians would be invited to a banquet in Hungary, where a bloody battle would erupt, destroying both kingdoms.

Etzel's beloved keepsake of his wife, a ring, is likely based on Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen. Though the character of Etzel does not appear in this adaptation of the story, among the riches of the Nibelung treasure is a magic ring that grants the wearer world domination. This ring would spark conflict for generations between the ring's forger, the gods, and their descendants, culminating in the ring returning to the Rhine River and the death of all parties involved.

Ursula was the wife of Etzel, killed by Dohlr soldiers. She takes her name from Saint Ursula, a legendary princess who sailed from Britain with eleven thousand women to marry. But before her marriage, she insisted on doing a continental pilgrimage. Joined by the Pope himself, she marched about Europe, until a fateful encounter with the Huns en route to Cologne. Ursula and the thousands of women accompanying her would be killed.

In Japanese, Ursula's name is written アーシェラ (rōmaji: āshera). This is a minor alteration of アシェラ (rōmaji: ashera), the ancient Semitic fertility goddess Asherah. She has been called the Queen of Heaven, interpreted as the wife of the Semitic, Judeo-Christian God in a time of polytheistic faith or a feminine aspect of him. The destruction of her temples and idols is ordered by God in the Bible, with King Josiah destroying some in the Book of Kings. The iconoclasm may be why the name of Asherah was used for a woman killed by war. Of course, this name had to be changed in localization given Tellius' Goddess of Order was named Ashera in Western releases.
