I’m starting to work on creating my own Fire Emblem game as of recently, and I thought it would be a great idea to ask you all what kind of character you would like to see.

For those who don’t know already, Fire Emblem is a fantasy setting. I should definetly be able to add humans and dragons (manaketes) to the game, though anything beyond that isn’t guarenteed.

If you have any ideas, please put them in the comments. A submission (sounds way too formal but idk what other word to use) should have a name, species (human or dragon/manakete), a gender (or specify agender), race, and a class. If you want to, get creative with the classes, as long as I understand what you mean, I should be able to get them to work within established FE classes. If you want to get really creative, come up with a physical description, and/or even a personality!

I’ll turn on upvotes temporarily once post traction slows down, and whichever character has the most upvotes will be added. This means that, even if you don’t want to design a character, you can support your fellow hexbears who created characters that you like. If there’s a lot of submissions, I can pick the top few and do a recount, and then add the winner of the recount. If I have the space in the ROM, I could possibly even add multiple characters.

If you end up submitting, thank you, and I look forward to seeing what you all come up with. aubrey-happy

I forgot to add, if you are interested in any established details about the game/story, feel free to ask. I would honestly love to talk about it!

    I have no idea what would be a good idea but one I’ve been thinking about for a fantasy setting is a mage who really really hates magic and magicians. Like will go on a really long diatribe about why magic is the worst thing every created and magicians have their heads in the clouds and that most aren’t qualified to be near a staff.

    Mostly because its just me but swap out magic and mage for programming and programmer hehe. Idk if thats what you’re looking for unfortunately i have not a single creative bone in my body my brother got all of the art talent instead.

    I would like to hear about the story and what you’re putting into the game though!

      This idea would actually work really well in the story of the game due to how I plan on making magic work, and I would love to see what you could come up with. I don’t want to say too much about the magic system, because it might stifle what you have in mind, but in short there are three different variations of magic: Light, Anima (elemental, specifically Fire, Wind, Thunder), and Dark.

      I’ll have to create a post about what I’m planning on doing, I’ve just started but I’ve had a good amount in my mind already. Most of my progress so far is in writing, so maybe it can go in the writing comm. I would love to be able to get feedback on what I have so far; the main reason I wanted to do this in the first place is because I love writing, fantasy, and Fire Emblem, so I’m excited to see what I can create.
