cr meme | july/august

[groundrules]

Hey guys! Can it be, a scheduled CR meme, on time two months in a row? A summer miracle.

Just a small heads up that some of our newbies will not be physically with the cast at sea, and will instead be working hard to secure entry for the incomers into the main Arc IV location, Serthica. But they'll be available on the network throughout!

Sylvain Jose Gautier | Fire Emblem: Three Houses

[gautiheir]

PLAYER: Sam
PREFERRED CONTACT: atkascha
CHARACTER & CANON: Sylvain Jose Gautier (Fire Emblem: Three Houses/Three Hopes)

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Ginger slut who will not call you back the next day.

THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE: Knight in shining armor who has mostly given up on the poor job he does of convincing people he's less competent than he really is, will big-brother the hell out of you possibly to emotionally compensate for his own older brother trying to kill him throughout their childhoods!

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? He won't do it himself, but somebody else will inevitably bring up that time he hit on their grandmother when he was eight years old and he will plead with you all to please just forget that he has grown past his childhood cringe.

THEIR TV TROPE: Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass.

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? Knight with a cursed spear made out of a dead dragon, also uses magic (mostly fire and light, bit of healing). Surprisingly intelligent, like, inventing magical guns on the side intelligent. Someday will single-handedly broker lasting peace with the gungho fantasy vikings.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? He'll be in the new batch that's separated from the main team for a while, sighing that he's straight into another situation that's just designed to force him to reveal some actual competence.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: He's new, I want it all. But, some possibilities:
- Due to canon point he is not the levels of shameless manwhore that fandom loves him for, but if someone's receptive, he'll still flirt with them no matter who they are.
- He's from a society with shittily restrictive social issues, and is one of the many people who want to fix things, so if you have experience on mass social reform or on defusing ancestral wars, tell him everything.
- He is prone to generally acting like the easygoing big brother to anyone in proximity, so if you need a bro, come get it!
- His combat skillset basically amounts to "mounted lancer who also nukes things with fire magic," so whether you're a knight or a wizard, he can probably talk shop.
- His spear is a cursed relic made from dragon bones that glows ominous red when in use. He does not know the dragon bones part, admittedly, but I mean, look at this thing.
- He's one of those "cover up massive trauma with smile and black humor" types, so he will probably be a tough nut to crack at first, but if you're pinged by the restrictive demands of noble title/heritage, families trying to murder each other, or deliberately underachieving because you hate people expecting things of you, we might want to chat.

THROW A GIF IN, YOU DESERVE IT:

[downswing]

Don't mind me, I'm here for the classy redhead.

[gautiheir]

THE CLASSIEST.

[good_taste]

Oh hey fellow "hiding massive trauma with smiles" character! Astarion's very Same Hat about that. If you ever need a vampire elf who swings wildly between 'expert sneak and charming manipulator' and 'absolute chaos gremlin', he's here!

[gautiheir]

yes Sylvain may not think he needs it but I sure do.

[good_taste]

Excellent! I'm down for whatever, whenever.

[beitangmoran]

Experience with mass social reform, you say. Like, for example, ending up being an imperials regent for your nephew at sixteen and having to rule the empire and raise said nephew into an actual emperor at the same time???

[gautiheir]

Well, that is definitely A Resume!

[beitangmoran]

Also, his world is ruled by astrology, as in each constellation has a sign and the lord or lady of the constellation ahs special powers related to it, and there's been a bit of class warfare in his country because one of the signs got assigned pariah status.

[gautiheir]

That is a weird system, how do -

Actually, given that he's used to a system based on magic dragon blood, he's got no leg to stand on, scratch that.

[northerndragon]

Eyy, mass social issues and ancestral wars right here!

But also on hiatus. Hopefully we can push these two together at some future point after my return!

[gautiheir]

There are so many reasons I want these guys to meet, homg. Sylvain is from the northernmost noble house on the continent, who have a long tradition of defending the borders from marauding tribes (thankfully, no weird undead ice zombies though). One of the game routes (though not the one I'm playing him from) has his house and a few others going pretty full on THE NORTH REMEMBERS at the other half of the kingdom for supposedly murdering their prince. So I am here for Starks and Snows, haha.
