This started as a self-indulgent fic where I put Cynthia in Fates that spiraled into something more. At this point, I’ve brainstormed classes, created some characters, and come up with a new plot for Revelation. The storyline I have goes a little like this:
- Cynthia/Sumiko gets portaled into Hoshido and she eventually becomes a Kinshi Knight under Hinoka’s command (was looking for trio, thinks she’s in the wrong place)
- When Corrin chooses neither side, Hinoka sends Sumiko to watch after Corrin from a distance
- Sumiko follows them into the Bottomless Canyon and ends up stranded there
- Using skills from childhood, she survives the largely empty lands until she’s found by Jai (Vallite OC) who takes her home with him to the capital
- It turns out he and his mother, Pai, are spies for a resistance army that want to free the land from Anankos
- She spends some time with them in the capital before getting caught as an outsider
- The three make an epic escape to the resistance
- Here, Cynthia/Sumiko gains the Bombadier class (Tome/Yumi, flying)
- Jai (Mystic Fighter, Rod/Club, Infantry) and Pai (Sabateur, Lance/Dagger, Flying) are on patrol when they see Scarlett fall
- Jai heals Scarlett with Wane Festival and the two resistance members meet Corrin
- Cynthia/Sumiko come in on the next map
- Ananya (Mystic Elephant, Tome/Lance, Elephant), the resistance leader, and her second (War Elephant, Lance/Club, Elephant) join on the next
- Lilith (Manakete, Dragonstone) is saved and playable
I have growths, base stats, and max stats for each class I listed and a dozen more class ideas without. While I know it will be difficult, I also want to try to find a way to add unique skills for each of the classes. I already have the following for Bombardier:
- Stoop [5]: unit moves forward one space to attack, moves back after (functional range +1 if no one is in front of you)
- Superior Range [15]: If outside of enemy’s range, hit +20, crit +10, damage +5
Long story short, I’ve downloaded Paragon and have found myself completely out of my depth but really excited. I was telling my cousin and he recommended I bring it up here. While the idea isn’t completely fleshed out, I want to get some input from people who have more opinions on the gameplay of Revelation and such.
(I would also be really thrilled if we could integrate Cynthia/Sumiko outside of just Revelation? But that’s not strictly necessary for the project.)
