The most Axe-cellent of Axe Paladins

Titania RP account (FE9/10), associated with Fire Emblem-RP. Blog Status: Inactive, as of 27/7/18 Off on a new adventure now! Thanks for everything FERP, it's been a grand old time! -icy Anons: On NSFW: Accepted, though preferably off Anon. Tracking: 'Axecellent Paladin' (No hyphen)

//Just checking in to make sure I haven’t lost this account. Crazy that FERP looks like it’s still going along pretty quietly! Keep on shining you crazy diamonds!

[axecellent-paladin]

//Farewell Post

While being booted due to inactivity isn’t the way I’d hoped to leave the group, these two past weeks without FERP pressing at the back of my mind to post have allowed for some great reflection.

I’ll try and keep this succinct: You guys are some really fine people and should be really proud of what you have. FERP took me in and looked after me following a really trying time and for that has my eternal gratitude.

Sadly as I’ve grown as a writer, I’ve found 1-on-1 RPs no longer suit how I best work. Lately I’ve been experimenting elsewhere with pseudo DnD style RPs which aren’t limited by tumblr’s core features and by gosh it’s been refreshing!

As lovely as it is to hang with you guys, I can’t have my cake and eat it too. For the shorter term I’ll be off on other adventures. Perhaps some day I’ll come back and I hope you guys are still around by then in one form or another!

Until we meet again, whenever or wherever that may be!

//Err, whoops?

Guess getting the boot was kinda inevitable. Oh well, my bad. Perhaps a break will do me some good!

ping @hoenniswheretheheartis (my personal) if you want to contact me or would like my discord details.

Catch you later I guess??

chevalier-dargent:

“Ahh, well. I suppose we shall have to do what we can in the mean time?” He stood once more, smoothing out the bottom of his greatcoat. It would be nigh impossible for either of them to make it to the other side of the cart while mounted. Surely a wyvern could easily lift the cart up, but they could not count on one arriving with any speed, so their plan for the interim needed to be solid.

Looking to her package, he nodded. “I am indeed proficient in most types of swords or lances. You are most kind to loan this to me.” How convenient that his new companion happened to have precisely the ranged weapons they would need. Perhaps Fate was being kinder than he thought, if they had advantage on terrain, and each a ranged weapon. “Better to use them now in our time of need, and purchase more before leaving town than to save them and risk losing to the bandits.”

“Indeed. For now we may-” In a smooth motion, her free arm unhinged the hand axe and launched it towards the cliffs above. Quick as it was, the bandit hiding in the bush managed to leap out of the way with a foul curse, and the weapon sailed cleanly through the air in a wide arc before returning to Titania’s position.

“Tell you what, you see any ragtag brutes approach, those sticks of yours can keep them at bay.” This time a few more enemies began sneaking in, though it was clear they were trying to run around and cut off any escape route. “There can’t be too many. Even if there are, if worse comes to worse we can force a stalemate until that backup arrives.”

The problems with dancing (open)

“One and.. two and.. three and.. woah!” *thud* “Oww… Why’s dancing got to be so hard…”

Soleil had set out to a secluded riverbank in the middle of the forest to practice dancing. Again. It wasn’t helping. Again. But that wouldn’t throw her off, as the best way to get to some girls is through dance, and she wanted to be able to worm her way into any girl’s heart at a moments notice. The secrecy is due to her lack of natural talent. Of course. That, and she’s ever so slightly embarrassed at her inability to live up to her family’s legacy. 

“Right. Back to it… One and.. two and.. three and..” 

A rustling in the bushes.

“Waugh! Wh-who goes there!”

[axecellent-paladin]

“Please, don’t stop on my account!”

Though the shrubbery emerged the scarlet-haired paladin, hiking back towards the road with a large sack slung over a shoulder, a dead branch used as a makeshift pole in her other hand.

“Sorry to have disturbed you, miss. Top of the day to you.“ She smiled warmly, no need to reach for the axe slung at her hip, instead taking a brief sip of water from a skin. “That’s actually quite an interesting sparring style you have there. Need a someone to practice with?”

👍💞💭

You’re doing great / romantic potential? / thoughts on our threads?

//Thanks, right back atcha!

I know some say nothing brings people closer than impending combat, though give ‘em a few threads to get to know each other first! |D

More seriously, I can see they’ve potential to become good friends and in general I’m open to ‘S’ supports, although I don’t rush them and rarely plan them in advance with others. (Especially given the nature of FERP and how characters will come and go.)

We haven’t done much yet, though hopefully that’ll change. Thanks for your patience while I tried out my crazy idea too |D

// I worked darn hard on that false screencap. So here’s a post about it haha.

My initial idea was to create a map of the area. A little bit of digging gave me this nifty tool, which let me pick a tileset, then either map directly, or determine which tiles were what sort of terrain and let it fill it out for me.

It’s a bit rough, but it gets most of the hard work out of the way, allowing you to smooth things over:

I then added a Titania sprite I found here to the FE8CM  (which after watching the tutorial, was just fiddly more than anything else) and did a similar process to add the map background.

And then crop the map since the initial one was squished.

And then duck over to Spriter’s Resource and grab a Paladin (Seth), Great Knight Axe Paladin and Merchant sprites, recolour the Merchant to Neutral, position and boom!

Surprisingly the mapping was the easy part! Hahaha... Might do that again in the future...

chevalier-dargent:

“The pleasure is mine, Lady Titania.” Something about her manner and long red hair reminded him of his younger sister, and he echoed her wry grin. “Indeed,” Seth began, dismounting Tempest for a closer look at the cart. Squatting in front of the wheels, he asked her. “Do you suppose if we pushed it straight up we might be able to unstick the cart from this mire? Obviously, its load will make it heavier, but between us we might manage.” There was a distinct possibility that the gathered crowd had exhausted all methods of lifting and pushing, though, if the generous coat of mud they wore was any indication.

“If that won’t work, we could try standing one to either side of the cart, and picking them off as they come.” Seth scrubbed a hand over his chin. “If only we had ranged weaponry, then we could fight them off before they got close.” Chopping down thugs as they came was certainly no kind of strategic brilliance, and depending on their numbers, they might even overwhelm the two combatants. “Is there anything around we could use to make the area more difficult to pass? It’s doubtful we have time for anything substantial, but if we can slow their advance, that would give the two of us a better chance to hold them off.”

“Unfortunately the cart is well and truly bogged. Now that I think of it, the merchant mentioned sending some bird for a Wyvern to help lift it, though there’s no telling how long that’ll take to organise...“

At the second remark she was thoughtful for a moment, though a frown didn’t leave her face.

“One side is already bordered by thick forest behind a high ridge, the other steep hills... oh!”

With that she unhooked a bundle from her saddle and offered it to the other knight. “You look like a man proficient with a javelin. That might solve our range problem a little.” So saying, she indicated the smaller hand axe on her own belt. “Those were some general supplies I picked up, though I feel they’re needed now.”

what the fuck rp starters

“Oh look, carnage.”

“I found you beat half to death in a dumpster. When I said I would call 9-1-1 you punched me in the face and said no before passing out.”

“Holy shit you look terrible.”

“Can’t go to my place, I’m making poison in my kitchen.”

“This is the tenth half-eaten corpse I’ve seen. It’s still kinda horrifying but less horrifying than the first time I saw one.”

“Yeah, that’s right, go wander off and commit murder somewhere else.”

Everything about your life makes so much sense now.”

“I don’t know, that sounds like a ‘fuck off’ kind of growl.”

“There’s a girl snorting cocaine off the counter in the bathroom. Just thought you’d wanna know.”

“I’ve got good news and bad news. The good news: some of this blood is mine. The bad news: most of it is mine. And I’m going to pass out.”

“After the fight some dude catcalled me on the way home so I turned around and spat a bunch of blood at his feet. Never seen someone regret doing something so fast.”

“Is that a fucking dragon?”

“That is genuinely disturbing.”

“Don’t smile. You have the smile of a serial killer.”

“This is surprisingly not the worst thing we’ve done. This is like, maybe halfway up the list.”

i’ve wanted to draw a group picture of my favorite fire emblem archetype for a while, but i didn’t know how to do until exactly this morning

Down the Trail||Open

The afternoon at camp had been rather slow. As such, Robyn did all she could to stay productive. She spent the day sorting weapons, making separate piles based on weapon type, all while setting aside weapons that needed to be sold due to wear.

“Hm… I’d hate to give up this Brave Lance…” the woman mused aloud, “…but it could sell for good money to buy other weapons.”

Once she finished organizing the weapons and returned them to their proper places in the barracks, Robyn gathered the worn weapons and proceeded to pace across camp into the direction of town. With a deep sigh, she moved along the trail with an air of carefree about her steps. However, she stopped in her tracks at the sound of movement. While she couldn’t determine if this was a friend or foe based on the footsteps alone, she equipped herself with an Elthunder Tome just in case if she was to be attacked. For now, she remained still. After waiting a moment, the built up tension got the better of her.

“Who’s there?” 

As discreetly as she could, she reached for her Tome.

[axecellent-paladin]

Draft horses weren’t quite Titania’s speciality, though she could hardly be called a Paladin if she didn’t know how to get the best from her mounts. This particular creature seemed to happily plod away the miles with it’s hay cart in tow, seemingly unaware of it’s rider’s recent misfortune.

‘Then again, a job this valuable was bound to have some complications. Still, to wind up lost and alone in the middle of Ashunera-knows-where... hm?‘

That she’d travelled so many miles without seeing another soul on the road troubled Titania, so it was with mixed joy and caution that she spotted the carefree traveller ahead.

She didn’t need to be a veteran to know that the sudden shift in their demeanour meant she was heard and seen as suspicious. Given how empty the road had been, it seemed the natural response even.

‘At last, life! -Wait, was that the flash of a tome?’

As they were headed in the same direction, Titania drew alongside shortly after he stranger called out, though a hand axe was but a moment away from her grasp if needed. Still, hopefully diplomacy would prevail. “Peace friend, just a mercenary who’s new to the area and may be a little lost. Could you kindly tell me how far away the next town is, if you please?“

[axecellent-paladin]

Would I lie? [Open]

"So mid-swing, she warps to my off side and I nearly have to drop my weapon just to stay mounted. Strange to think the incarnation of pure Order would behave so chaotically during a fight, though I suppose by some divine standard it makes perfect sense... Anyway, I'm wide open and sure enough there she goes about to unleash her so-called judgement. No time to switch hands, and still off-kilter I just lash out with my off arm..."

The storyteller pauses for effect, drawing out the tension.

"...and -somehow- that connects as a proper uppercut straight to her jaw and gives just enough an opening to right myself and deliver an actual follow up!"

Story told, she downs the rest of her drink, glad for something to refresh her throat.

"Aaaand that's how I got to punch a god in the face~"

With that she gazed across to her companion, and grinned mischievously. "Now, was that the whole truth? Or do you think such a lavish tale can only be made up? Get it right and the next round of drinks is on me~”
