#still being reasonably realistic and not fan servicey. so they can all wear their government mandated miniskirts into a field of land mines

i don't even play valkyria chronicles but i am so intrigued by this mind blind au 👁️ if you can elaborate please do

OK SO some background context that is important: there’s this ancient bloodline called the valkyrur. They’re pretty much all extinct, but some people still have valkyrur blood that activates when they are about to die, “awakening” them and turning them into incredibly powerful beings. They can use war magic, basically. (My shorthand is pretty much ment= valkyria lmao)

Other than that, there are a couple of different classes in the game, each with their own roles, strengths, and weaknesses. The game takes place in pretty much in a pre-ww2 scenario in a fictionalized fantasy Europe. So there’s tanks and guns and all that .

Also note: I actually haven’t read through mb in a verryyyy long time so this is a lot of remembering on my part

Nick: an awakened valkyrur, but also the tank commander of the squad. In the games, the squad commander always is in the tank and is always one of the main focus characters. I think that translates nicely to a command role that he has in the story.

Gray: also a valkyrur, maybe not yet awakened, and a lancer. Lancers are the anti-tank power hitters that carry these massive missiles that look like jousting lances. They kind of just stand there, but they’re extremely tough to kill because of their high armor and hp, which I think works for grays… whatever his power is called I forgot

Glitch: an engineer! They’re a support class with high movement and very low hp, responsible for fixing the tank when it gets damaged, rebuilding any cover that gets destroyed, and resupplying ammo. They could also work as the actual tank engineer who drives the tank, but I’m trying to cover all of my main playable class slots.

Rosy: ok full discretion I cannot fucking remember if rosy was a sniper or not. But there is a sniper class. They’re super useful, with the only downside being that they’re movement is absolute ass. Maybe they could work as a shocktrooper, but I’ll get into that at the end.

K: a scout! Pretty low hp but extremelyyyy high movement. It’s definitely a tactic in the game to just buff up one scout and run them all the way to the mission point without even engaging in the actual planned combat of the round. They’re quick, stealthy, and pretty useful in combat if they can get the jump on an enemy.

Sally: also a sniper, I would presume. Precognition is pretty much just being able to see your enemy coming from far away righ? Lmao. I’m not even sure she’d be a valkyrur bc there’s nothing that really lines up with her power, but I think she’d have a little skill that boosts her accuracy when she discovers an enemy’s sight lines. Again, she’s not moving a ton, which I think she’d appreciate.

Last but not least, stoja: I originally had her as a lancer bc of her constant desire to protect herself of mental would kind of culminate in a need to be able to counter nick’s tank. However how I think she works better as a shocktrooper! They’re pretty middle of the road, not specializing in anything, ok movement, better health. But they have big fucking machine guns and are pretty much designed to run right into a path of bullets to clear out the enemy. If that isn’t stoja then idk what is
