Fates: Create Your Own Unit

Chase · July 14, 2016

(credit goes to Ikaru for helping me think of this with an AMA question he asked here. Congrats, sir.)

So. I was thinking along the lines of - if I were a fire emblem character - what unit and skills would I have? - then Ikaru asked me what my favorite default RPG weapon was or something and it just seemed like this thread had to be made at that point - however, I do have a formula for it.

1. SELECT UP TO FIVE POTENTIAL "PERSONAL SKILLS"

Personals in Fates are the ones that apply to the character they as associated with and are the first skill listed on any character... For example - 'Haiku' is the personal skill of Mitama and 'Sweet Tooth' is the personal skill of Asugi. You can't ever remove a personal skill.

The reason I would like more than one here - before we start the unit template - is because personal skills reflect the units personality and I like learning about people. If you can only think of one, that's okay.

http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Personal_Skills_in_Fire_Emblem_Fates <- Personals List

2. SELECT AN UNPROMOTED CLASS

Here you select the class branch that fits your preferences the most. I want you to go with an unpromoted class here. (for example, if you feel that you would make a great Malig Knight - list Wyvern Rider instead) Your unpromoted class also usually reveals your favorite weapon and if you would like to fight mounted or grounded in most cases.

http://www.shacknews.com/article/93284/fire-emblem-fates-class-and-promotion-guide <- list of classes

3. SELECT 5 SKILLS

...following this template to keep the "personality test" feel going.

1. [personal]

2. basic skill

3. basic skill

4. promoted class skill not including faire/breaker

5. promoted class skill not including faire/breaker

6. faire/breaker skill.

4. SELECT GROWTHS AND STAT MODIFIERS

... optional - but shows your proficiency and deficiency as a person, which again helps with the personality test feel. Growth rates are typically given in percentages (which indicate the chances that skill will improve upon level up) Stat Modifiers are put into play with + and - signs followed by a single digit number no greater than 5 in most cases (to indicate the units personal influence on their stats)

5. SELECT MAIN WEAPON AND A SIDEARM

... to give us a feel for personal taste.

Hunter

Personals: Vow of Friendship (Silas), Fiery Blood (Rinka), Fierce Rival (Selena), Reciprocity (Kaden), Divine Intervention (Azama)

Skills:

> Fiery Blood (when Hunter is at less than full HP, damage is increased by four.)

> Strong Riposte (damage is increased by three when counterattacking.)

> HP + 5 (increases HP by five.)

> Defender (when Hunter is the lead unit, increases all stats (barring Movement) by one.)

> Counter (when an adjacent enemy initiates combat with Hunter, he deals all non-fatal damage back to the attacker.)

> Swordfaire (grants five additional damage when using a sword/katana.)

Growths:

HP 50%, Strength 45%, Magic 0%, Skill 45%, Speed 25%, Luck, 35%, Defense 50%, Resistance 30%

Modifiers:

+ 3 Strength, -2 Magic, + 2 Skill, +1 Luck, +1 Defense, 0 Resistance

Weapons:

> Nohrian Blade (Tempered with Nohrian steel. A defensive blade.)

> Surefire Yumi (An accurate yumi that requires stillness to operate properly.)

Cepheus · July 14, 2016

hmmmmm... interesting...

Ceph

Personals: Bushido (Ryoma), Noble Cause (Shiro), In Extremis (Scarlet)

Class: Myrmidon - promotes to Swordmaster / Weapon Master

(screw Samurai, I'll be the cooler counterpart of all the other games! ... seriously, why doesn't Nohr have a Myrmidon class?)

Skills:

> Personal Skill: Bushido (When own level higher or equal to support partners -> Critical Rate +10, Damage dealt +2, Damage recieved -2)

> Sol (Restores HP equal to half the amount of damage done to the enemy - Activation Chance: Skill/2 in %)

> Death Blow (When user triggers the battle, Critical rate +20 - Passive)

> Leathality (Chance to instantly kill the enemy - Activation Chance: Skill/4 in %)

> Astra (Chance to strike the enemy 5 times with 1/2 of the normal damage [every single hit has a chance to be a critical hit] - Activation Chance: Skill/2 in %)

> Lancebreaker (Hit/Evade +50, when enemy equipped with a Lance)

[GOD it was so painful to choose... you know... if there was a reveres Duelist Blow (gain Evade when the ENEMY attacks), I would have chose that instead of Sol]

Growths:

HP: 40%, Strength: 50%, Magic 0%, Skill 60%, Speed 60%, Luck 40%, Defense 25%, Resistance 30%

Modifiers:

0 Strength, - 3 Magic, + 3 Skill, + 2 Speed, +1 Luck, 0 Defense, +1 Resistance

Weapons:

> Killing Edge (A highly potent and Lethal Sword. High Crit rate and increased Critical damage, -10 evade)

> Sunrise Katana (A Blade suitable for defensive Combat. low damage, high Evade)

[> Practice Katana (Light as a feather, and used in training. Additional bonus on speed)] - yeah I know only one side-arm... but I like my Practice Katana +2 in game

Chase · July 14, 2016

I guess to clarify - when I say Merc naturally promotes to Bow Knight over Hero, I mean that if that character is me specifically, I would opt for Bow Knight. It would appear the Mercenary line directly promotes to Hero while Bow Knight is the alternative for anyone else in the game.

---

I like your choice of personal skills because Ryoma, Scarlet, and Shiro should have been a family .... and Scarlet has no business being a Corrinsexual.

Those 5 skills are pretty powerful. You must be a demigod or something

---

I'll go ahead and explain myself a bit.

Chase · July 14, 2016

Pragmatic is easily one of my favorite personal skills in the game. Leo is by far the best unit in Conquest's version of Chapter 6, dispatching Hinoka and Takumi handily with Pragmatic's help.

(does more damage against previously injured foes.)

I think Leo's a fairly relate-able character. He's so real - which is one of the reasons I like him.

Ill give a bit of information here.

Reveal hidden contents

Personal skills: They mostly reflect my personality. I love reading (Bibliophile), like to solve problems practically (Pragmatic), tend to pick up and understand things quickly (Perspicacious) and Ive been told I can be rather cold at times (Icy Blood).

Weapons/Class:

Ive always liked dwarves when compared to most races in things like The Lord of the Rings, so axes are a natural choice to me. Being able to throw them gives them a distinct advantage that swords don't have.

In line with weapons, magic has always intrigued me no matter where it is. I love all the lore behind it, especially in the older Fire Emblem games. (Jugdral and Elibe specifically have amazing magic lore that more people need to get into).

Dragons are my favorite mythical creature, and Wyvern Rider>Malig Knight combines all three of these features into one class, which makes it my favorite class in Fates.

Skills:

I tried to go with a more intelligence based approach with these. If an enemy is too powerful for you alone to kill, it's best to wound it as much as you can so that one of your allies can pick it off instead. Luna and Axefaire work best for dealing massive damage, and a former dark mage with a skill involving the night makes sense, I suppose.

Growths/Mods: High intelligence and agility (Mag/Spe), but a weak constitution (Def/HP) and terrible luck fits me pretty well.

Weapons: Bolt Axe for combining my two favorite weapon types into one weapon. Venge Club for a more intelligent approach to enemy phase (Letting the enemies come to you so you can easily predict them.). Fimbulvetr because I love ice and it's by far my favorite type of magic, and I'd say it was his weapon before taming the wyvern. (Although it would definitely have the gba animations and not the fates one. It makes me sad that sprite based magic looks so much better than 3D magic despite being on better hardware.I know the 3DS can't handle Tellius quality magic animations, but not even gba? Come on Intelligent Systems. Be real. :/ )

I like the Anti-ninjutsu supportive ninja thing you have going on - and that Corrin was a close personality to you. Neat stuff.

Krim

the backstory's kinda neat - along with the magic-based Malig Knight build you got there. Hopefully you have the weapon rank needed for Boltaxe prior to Master Sealing!

I'm also realizing how fantastic Flora's personal is. It's a shame you get her so late.

Jacob

We're probably similar people!

Inno

YEEEEE Surefire Yumi.

I'd say that one is fairly accurate - I'm most confused by the magic preferences here. I knew you liked Azama a lot.

I like Azama for his troll personality. My body build could pretty accurately be described as matchsticks with the wood shaved off and of course I'm highly intelligent, a combination usually associated with a brains over brawn mentality and thus the magical side of the spectrum.

I guess if Inuki's allowed to double dip, I'll do a Hoshidan class too.

Description: An impetuous member of the Flame Tribe who is proficient with using and crafting melee weapons. While rivaling even the chieftain in fiery demeanor, he lacks in discipline and initiative. Likes doughnuts.

Random fact: Appreciates argument more than anyone else in the army. 11/4

Personals:

> Sweet Tooth (Asugi)

> Pyrotechnics (Saizo)

> Vendetta (Rhajat)

> Competitive (Takumi)

> Morbid Celebration (Reina)

Class: Oni Savage (would most likely promote to Blacksmith, also promotes to Oni Chieftain)

Skills:

> Morbid Celebration (If Hunter initiates a skirmish, heals a smaller bit of health than Lifetaker would (but doesn't take up a flex skill spot.)

> Shove (Moves an adjacent ally one space over)

> Wary Fighter (Prevents Hunter and opponent from striking more than once.)

> Salvage Blow (Finds lower tier weapons occasionally after defeating a foe.)

> Strengthtaker (after defeating a foe, Hunter's strength increases (up to +10) - why not get saucy with DLC skills. Mael's personal is flippin Veteran Intuition.-

> Swordfaire (you know the drill. Plus 5 with a sword or katana)

I'm not bothering with growths or mods details right now, but I might later. Just know positive strength and skill are things, average luck, mediocre speed, bad magic and awful resistance are on the horizon.

To explain myself

Reveal hidden contents

I really wanted to make a character who is both like me but also who embodies the things I want to be but I can't. While we share similar things we're bad at, ultimately, in a situation like this I wouldn't be like this guy at all. This also goes hand in hand with me doing character development on a character for a story I hope to turn into a webcomic once i finally feel like I'm good enough/have the time and money to make in the near future. I know a lot of this is cheesy, but on one level or another i actually feel like this. I want to be the kind of person who is able to protect his friends, and I want to be able to be good at a lot of things but I actually have commitment problems due to my mindset. From a writing/character standpoint, that's whack, but to stay true to who I am, I included that in his character, what little you can gleam of it.

The character I created was one who is a strong ally and someone his allies can depend on, and a person who I want to someday become, and not just idolize.

As for the skills I chose, the personal skill, Quiet Strength is meant to symbolize how I have an unknowing effect on others. It may be arrogant of me to think so, but I've noticed that I have a bigger impact than previously thought. Like how, if I walk into a room, the room's personality will change to match mine, sometimes. My strength that comes from being there.

Vantage, because not only is it one of the best skills in the game, it adds to the effect. A strong and reliable person, but more than that, a person able to see more than just their own points. An open mind.

Nohrian Trust, as you would trust the same ally figure I've been painting this whole time. From another side, the realistic side, I place a great amount of trust and faith in my friends. That's cheesy, I know, but not inaccurate.

Ignis, because... I like it. Grandmaster learns it. It looks cool. Who doesn't want a flashy move?

Inspiration, because I like to think I have a way with words. This character, too, with the way he is, would be an inspiring thing to see, no? To see your comrade in action, doing what needs to be done and racking up points-- there's no way you could sit back and watch that! From another standpoint, I know I've helped a lot of people by doing or saying things they need to hear. I'm not exactly an inspiration, but I can be when I need to be. That's important.

And, Rally Spectrum to fit the nice theme I've created. As the final skill of the Grandmaster class, it's kind of a culmination of everything I've learned. Rally Spectrum is a very good rally skill, but it only boosts 2 of every stat, save mov. People say that a Jack of all trades is a master of none, but that's not true. There's one thing that only a Jack of all trades can do-- combine every trade he's learned into one. By being a jack of all trades, you become incredibly flexible, and in some cases, a force to be reckoned with. There are some things you can only see by looking at it from certain angles and perspectives.

As for weapons, well. They're just weapons. I know I'm only allowed to have 2 weapons, but there's no way I'd be rolling around with 2 weapons, because a lot of weapons have downfalls and it's best to pick weapons that counteract the downfalls in some way. To choose two though, probably Dragon Spirit and Laslow's Blade.

OK LAST EDIT I FORGOT: The reason I chose Outlaw as a base class is because first, bows are my favorite weapon, and I like the idea of archers only being able to attack from 2-3 range, not because they're unable to improv or shoot from a close distance, but more because they have the brains enough to understand that if they fight back, they could give way to another enemy taking the spot of an enemy who's already used their turn. Of course, it's not the same in-game, but archers are very useful. Promotion choice to Adventurer because I also like staves, and it makes for a nice mixed unit with healing capabilities. I choose Adventurer over other staff classes because it's not the most effective healer, as opposed to Onmyoji or Priestess (with the same Weapon matchup, but in my case, Great Monk) with high magic. I know I'm inexperienced as a person who can help mend the wounds of other people, and I know I'm not the best at it, but I still picked up the skill. I want to be a person who picks people up when they're down, if they need it. And, even though I'm not the best at it, it's still enough to get you going long enough until someone else who can do that job better than me can patch them up. If that makes sense.

Also I am not very fond of horses or animals in general I've only had Bad Times with them, cats and dogs I'm alright with but beyond that I'm disgusted and in a world where I'm surrounded with horses and other animals I'd probably be alright with them but as of right now, no. Please don't promote me into Bow Knight.

OK ACTUAL LAST EDIT I'M REALLY FORGETFUL IF YOU COULDN'T TELL: To explain my selection of personal skills,

I chose Supportive because, well. It's self explanatory. I feel more efficient on the sidelines, honestly.

I chose Chivalry because I like to play on an even playing field-- I'd feel bad fighting someone who was already down, and it inspires me to do my best to win fair and square.

I chose Fierce Rival because I'm incredibly competitive and I hate being one-upped with a passion.

And, In Extremis because I understand what I have to do, not because I get pumped up when the going gets rough, but more like, it's time to get serious about this because if not, this could be the end.

Omitted crit quotes:

"I said 'BITCH WHERE'!?"

and

EDIT: It was hard to decide on a personal skill, I ended up actually changing mine. Overall, Fierce Rival didn't really reflect on the character what I was trying to push. Also added some more info about him. I'm thinking about doing a second character as well! :]

Explanation

Reveal hidden contents

For this character, I wanted to take (what I think is) a reasonable approach on my actual personality. I'm not really physically strong, so I figured magic would be a better fit for a class, and since I really liked the Sage/Onmyoji classes in Awakening and Fates because of the high magic and the healing abilty, I figured that'd be the best class. I'd probably be attacking more than I would be healing, but at least I'd still be able to mend the wounds of allies in battle, which is something that relates to that I want to help out people with their problems (even though I may end up getting hurt in the process as well, as I can speak from experience).

The character still retains some of the silliness that's part of me, and I honestly couldn't leave that out or it just, well, it wouldn't be me, honestly.

And of course I had to include coffee.

...in all reality i'd probably be like "shit shit shit shit" on the battlefield like 90% of the time when first being thrown into battle and end up leveling a mountain because i panicked and fucked up a spell but i suppose i'd get used to battling at some point so zzzz

Personal skills

Supportive - This one should speak for itself. I care a lot for my friends and I will support them if they need it.
Misfortunate - TO BE FAIR I'M NOT EXACTLY THE LUCKIEST PERSON ON THIS PLANET and I've gone through on a lot of stuff, whether it be simple joking around on the server to actual depression and that stuff, so I felt like it'd fit me.
Vendetta - If you see the conversations I have with people on the showdown server, discord and skype, you'll know why I would've picked this. It kinda goes hand in hand with Misfortunate as I tend to first get dunked on before I strike back twice as hard, so that's why.
Competitive - People around me who are ahead of me in skill inspire me to work harder to get better at whatever I'm working on at that moment (despite getting a little jealous at first), so that's why I thought this one would fit.
Reciprocity - My moral for life is basically "I will treat you the way you treat me", so if you treat me well I will treat you nicely in return too. This also has it's draws of course if someone treats me poorly, as I won't really bother as much to be nice towards the person in question either. However, if someone decides to do me a favor I'll try to return it in one way or another if I can!

Actual skills:

Vendetta: See above!
Miracle/Renewal: These two go hand in hand, as I'm the kind of person that stands back up after getting beaten down. It's also sorta because I managed to crawl out of periods where I had it really rough and thought it would never change unscathed, and that's why I think these two also would fit for that.
Vantage: "listen you can hurt me once but i will fuck you up the second you try to do that again ok? ok"
Rend Heaven/Tomefaire: damage damage damage damage damage
