Fire Emblem Fates Updraft: I need filler units! A PME of sorts

Fire Emblem Fates Updraft is an upcoming FE8 Romhack I will make that takes place in my “Elysium Elibe” AU, the main goal is that it has 12 chapters so I can say my series has 40 chapters and thus while being divided in 7 stories has the size of a proper fangame.

The thing is, the game will be a 50 unit game, and while I do have some ideas, I think considering my series started with a PME I want to further honor it.

Also as the game is still early in development certain details may change, I may put your character in an adjecent class if I end up not having that class. Or I may move a character to a later chapter alongside promoting them. I may also lower growths or something like that but I want to keep the character intact. It is just early in development lol. So uh, your details may change.

LORE RULES

The basic idea behind the setting is that in the eastern part of Elibe are two nations, Hoshido and Nohr. They don’t like each other, the idea of Hoshido being good and Nohr being bad is downplayed. You do play the game from a mostly Hoshidian perspective though.

It is a story about Corrin, the Hoshidian prince who grew up in Nohrian hands, who after returning to Hoshido desperately tries to bring peace between the two families, though the game starts out being focused on the mechanist Haru who learned how to create androids. It will be a “Vision Quest” type deal where the game starts out focused on a commoner lord but becomes focused on royal stuff.

Feel free to submit already existing characters, like the game will have crossover characters so I should not like ban you from them. But they may still be rejected because they exist in another part of the universe.
But you can submit Elysium Ablaze/The Blazing Silver characters to reappear here.
Though I may still reject crossover characters if I don’t feel comfortable writing for them and doing them justice, or they would then score a “non speaking role”.

Also please don’t submit too many characters, but I suppose as long as the characters you submit are quality I don’t mind too much. But know that I am not forced to accept your characters.

And I would prefer either like fully monster or fully human portraits, furries may break the art style. Things like mouse ears are fine tho.

WHO DO I NEED?

Soilders (1): Hoshidian Soilders, epic filler units all around the game.
Pirates (1): Pirates who after their pirate ship being destroyed and landing in a situation that goes way over their heads just want to join the good guys.
Prisoner (1): Hoshidian Prisoners held at the Nohrian castle freed.

I dunno have fun. I know it may seem pretty rough as of now but don’t worry, even if only few characters are submitted I can always just try to squeeze in more fates units or invent more actual characters. I just think it fits this series, being a series that started with the cast of it being almost entirely submissions, I want to continue that.

Hackbox extend Tile 1 Y: 0 X: 2

Description: Despite his name, he has a sunny, yet shy disposition.
Death Quote: “. . . This feeling is… so… familiar.”
Personality (Important, as a lot will have conversations, even if few): A shy, young scrawny man, he looks up to heroes of old as inspiration. He is easy to manipulate, and lacks courage in some areas. What he lacks in courage, he makes up for in kindness. Somehow, the aura of death lingers around him like a ghostly mirage, even though he has done nothing to warrant the aura.
Item (May change): Silver Lance
Ending: (The two nations are at peace and having fought alongside Corrin until the end they are in a pretty good spot.)

After the war, Snow faded away like a ghostly mirage to shocked onlookers. Nobody knows where he went. Historians are still confused of the records of this youth.

Here to submit a town guard. Good luck.

By Yang Kai

Description:

A shy town guard. Loves playing card games and chess.

Death quote:

Igh…I was useless, wasn’t I…?

Personality:

Shy, likes wyverns, looks a lot like Sain, but I swear he has nothing to do with him, he’s just a random portrait I found off of the repo, just a simple man who looks like Sain and does town guard things, plays card games, and occasionally flirts with the local girls, but is not Sain.

Items:

Steel lance

Short spear

Hoplon Guard

Ending:

Fray went back to the Kingdom of Nohr where his original homeland was, and he made amends with his long-lost family. He still has his bad habits of flirting and gambling.

Personality (Important, as a lot will have conversations, even if few):

Ending: (The two nations are at peace and having fought alongside Corrin until the end they are in a pretty good spot.) Domes give up his life as a bishop. Now he is a wondering sellsword working through mercenary to mercenary.

Name: Nate (Displayed, real name Zehran)
Class: Wyvern Knight (Lances only) to Malig Knight (Tomes, Axes, Lances, but with worse stats than other wyvern classes)
Affinity: Dark
Portrait:

Description: A bounty hunter of Nohr. He radiates a subtle unhuman aura.
Death Quote: I shall… plant the earth… with my bones…
Personality: Nate is a quiet and aloof individual, who seems to only care about staying alive until he eventually dies. However, he isn’t afraid of death, somehow being very acceptant of it. Preferring to be in the dark of night, this is when he does his rounds, unable to feel anything but the hilt of his lance.

In reality, he is an undead who’s bones sprout into a new version of him in a different land. After thousands of deaths, he has finally become the way he is now. Eventually, he could be freed from the cycle of death (Possibly through supports), becoming the way he was before: A quiet yet sympathetic individual who is very interested in magic, and determined to succeed at everything he does.

Item (May change): Raider Lance (If not, then poison lance), Vulnerary
Ending:
If no A support: Nate was never seen again after the last battle. Rumors have it however, that a figure resembling him could be seen in the moonlit sky in another land.

If an A support: Nate had surprisingly started to become more humanlike, not only in appearance, but also in the way he spoke. Eventually, he was appointed as the border guard of Hoshido, protecting it’s civilians.

Mind if i do two at once?
I kinda want to make a fun twist unit and one of the pirates.

Sure thing.

Also here are the characters I accepted:
Nate (I am not fully sure where he will join, but I can easily imagine writing something fun with him. Maybe he can be a red unit turned blue, those can be a fun thing.)
Domes
Dark
Aushrine (@czechball whose face did you use to make your splice? I’d like to know that so I can do blinking, mouth animations with that. Else I am not sure I can create them on my own.)

@KingOfThracia What is the name of your Sain look alike?

(Regarding Snow by @WiiSportsRemote , I’d like to see the portrait before accepting it.)

I don’t want to sound rude here. But you really need to make brand new characters. We have seen both Shadow and Rosey in multiple pme already.

Their my staples ik alot of folks like to swap what they make alot but these two hold a soft spot as i made em as a kid and had their stuff and the idea of them progress with me.

I am not sure if I will write that many supports, so if you want feel free to write the supports you desire for your endings.

I will import any supports written, plus it would allow those characters to get a bigger role.

So uh it anyone wants to write supports, feel free to do so. Unfortunately due to my current plans the Nohrian royals are too late game to have a full three rank support chain (due to the 1 rank per chapter rule) but it is never too late for an optional talk conversation.

Also @TheEmeraldKing267 I don’t mind the characters having already been seen somewhere else, I am making a game that takes place in an already existing world, featuring already existing characters, both in vanilla FE and in terms of my OC’s.

And the game will have 50 characters, not every character needs to reinvent the wheel. But I do understand your frustrations, I just don’t want to gatekeep a practice I would have done. Like I used to make Zuiho a part of a lot of PME’s.

If they arent less than 3 chp. You can have them gain supports with everyone equal to a support level.

Yeah, I will probably do that. Or have otherwise extremely fast supports. Them being separated by chapters already divides them enough, I think.

But the Nohrian royals are like… Less than three chapters. I plan the four royals to be gotoh’s who finally join in the last map, though that may change.
