There’s like 54 ugly mugs now (I think?), and we’re up to 23 participants. Neat.
We’ll see how things look by the time the weekend rolls around. Ideally we’d have 2 characters per participant.

Alrighty, cut off time.

I’ll divvy out the work the characters later this evening or tomorrow when I get the chance! It’s looking like everyone’s going to get 2-3 characters a pop. Don’t let that get to you, you don’t have to submit an entry for each of them if you don’t want to.

Name:
Tolarian
Class:
Ideally: Monk (Light) -> Agent [Executioner] (Light, Dark)
Vanilla FE8: Monk
Backstory:
An assassin dispatched to remove political obstacles to what their handlers view as progress (i.e. foreign powers and their conflicting religions, etc.), using the guise of a simple traveling acolyte for infiltration purposes. Will often integrate themself into groups and armies to make reaching their target easier and will depart those parties in the shadows just as quickly they joined. They were a late-“adopted” orphan - what they thought was finally the hope of a loving, caring family rescuing them from the monastery turned out to be the event that broke their psyche entirely, causing them to have no sense of attachment beyond taking orders from their new masters and putting on whatever appearance and emotion is needed to prevent others from suspecting they aren’t an acolyte.
Character Traits:
Obedient
Analytic / Calculating
Likes:
Order
Traveling across the world
Dislikes:
Politicians and nobles
Resistance by victims

Vanilla FE8: Wyvern Rider
Backstory:
Formerly a pious soldier, he fell out of faith in his religion over the countless wars that they were always embroiled in. Without the guiding purposes he previously had, he fell into depression and lost most of his worldly possessions. An opportunistic businessman found him in the corner of an abandoned building and, seeing someone of a rugged physique, decided to exploit the down-and-out man by sponsoring him to go to an arena to fight for coin. His military training came to great effect in his career in as a pit fighter, rising from the lowly penny arenas in the surrounding slums to the city’s center coliseum. Surviving the grueling bouts gave him purpose as well as a drive to keep on fighting - it seems that he was never able to get away from it after all. He has begun taking up religious practices again in the hopes that he could find safety and hope in his bouts, reflection in his life’s actions, and forgiveness for abandoning his faith all of those years ago.
Character Traits:
Resilient
Self-focused
Not easily swayed by authority
Likes:
Religion
Adrenaline of combat
Dislikes:
Religious conflict
Being told what to do

- @Smokeyguy77
Name: Aeougriad (pronounced “Ow-gree-odd”)
Class: Shaman -> Summoner
Backstory: Aeougriad is not, strictly speaking, a person; he’s the spirit of a warlock from hundreds of years ago, who sealed his soul into an enchanted shawl to escape execution by the church. The artifact warps the body of whoever wears it to reflect Aeougriad himself, and allows Aeougriad some measure of control over the body. In his most recent incarnation, he’s taken over the corpse of a child killed in the war; the small hands can’t perform his ancient incantations properly, but it’s better than nothing.
Traits: Incredibly patient, tendency to monologue, extreme paranoia
Likes: The good old days, other magic-users
Dislikes: Religion, idiots
Age: 845 (the body is 7)
Height: 3’0’’/91 cm (for the shawl; the body is 4’1’’/124 cm)
