I'll vote for Nah to be brought aboard c:

And I vote SylveonsAndEspurrs for the part. May as well, you tie breaker you.
 
RE: Fire Emblem Awakening: PokéBeach Member Edition! Chapter 13 - Help pick our new teammate!

Aaaaand looks like Nah is our winner! Since we've only just recruited Keeper, it'll be a little while before we can unlock her Paralogue, so in the meantime, feel free to vote on member names. We've got one nomination so far:

SylveonsAndEspurrs (1): Keeper

Chapter will be posted up later, just wanted to make this post before I started so everyone knows it's official~
 
RE: Fire Emblem Awakening: PokéBeach Member Edition! Chapter 8

So... it turns out that Lucina and Nah actually don't support. At all. Neither do Lucina and Noire. I thought Lucina supported with all of the kids, but I guess I was wrong. (She doesn't support Severa either, though that doesn't affect us, but she does the other girls, so I don't even.)

So, either we can pick one of the guys, or we can continue to recruit Nah, but neither she and Lucina will really get any benefits from the deal. I'm going to go ahead and leave that open for now to get some feedback.

Paralogue 4: We're not using Anna, but let's get her anyway!

The next morning, we made our way back to Ferox to wait while King WPM readied his warships for us. Drohn and I worked with Camo and CJ to finish up troop assignments during the day, but we also spent a lot of time relaxing and chatting, and Drohn and I got the opportunity to spend some time with our future daughter. It was kind of weird to have a woman not much younger than me call me mom, but, well, that's probably the least weird thing about these whole time travel shenanigans.


<IE> Hey, mom, I got you a present!
<Athena> Oh, thank you! That was very thoughtful of you, IE.
<IE> Check out this awesome dress I got for you at the market! :D
<Athena> Er, well, uh.... that's very ugly.
<IE> D:?!
<Athena> I appreciate the thought, but yeah, I'm not wearing that.
<IE> ;~;
<Athena> Didn't mean to hurt your feelings... maybe next time you want to go to the market we can go together and pick out something we both like?
<IE> Sure! In the meantime, mind if I keep this dress for myself?
<Athena> Sure. Wear it in the battlefield to blind your enemies!
<IE> That gives me an idea...
...
<IE> Hey dad, wanna spar?
<Drohn> Sure, let me go grab.... oh gods, what are you wearing?
<IE> I'm testing out a theory of mother's that this garb might be an effective battle strategy.
<Drohn> I, uh, see.
<IE> Here, I grabbed some practice swords already.
<Drohn & IE> *sword fight like awesome people*
<Drohn> Well, you managed to nick me with the edge of your blade, but otherwise I think I soundly won that one, despite having a hard time looking right at you. Those colours! x_x;
<IE> Yeah, I didn't stop to consider how difficult it would be to fight in this dress; I think I have a wedgie...
...
<PMJ> Hey, Drac, good to see you! Did you come to visit Minerva? ^_^
<Drac> Indeed. Wyvern lady is almost as beautiful as her rider, yes?
<PMJ> I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not...
<Drac> Yes, is complimenting. Drac very friend of wyverns!
<PMJ> It's refreshing to meet someone who's not utterly afraid of her. Would you like to take a ride with me?
<Drac> Up in air? No thank yous!
<PMJ> You're not scared of wyverns, but you're scared of heights?
<Drac> Father send me up tree as punishment when Drac was small boy. Stuck on top of tree for three nightdays in wind and rain.
<PMJ> Awww, I'm sorry to hear that.
<Drac> Stop! Drac accept no pity from beautiful lady. But would accept invitation to dinner instead of wyvern riding?
<PMJ> Sure. ^_^​


Ice Espeon and Athena attained support level C! Ice Espeon and Drohn attained support level C! GM DracLord and PMJ attained support level C!

We also were able to restock everyone with weapons and gear. Cherche surprised us all by showing off her proficiency with lances, and Keeper decided to accept the gift of a horse from CJ so he could stab people directly in addition to blasting them with magic.

PMJ evolved into Wyvern Lord! Keeper of Night evolved into Dark Knight!

We were mostly ready and just waiting for the ships to arrive from Plegia when CJ received word from a merchant caravan that one of their traveling merchants was under siege from some bandits. Since we had nothing better to do, Drohn and I decided to volunteer our group to go see if we could help her out. We came to a series of ruins where the woman was trapped. Drohn went to speak with her while the rest of us fanned out to take care of the remaining bandits and loot their treasure. When I met the young woman after the battle, I was sure it was the same young woman we saved from bandits back in Plegia, but she assured us it musty have been one of her sisters. Nevertheless, Anna decided to join our team, and we went back to the port town a bit richer and one member stronger.


<TT> Uh, hey, Palutena... is there some reason you're following me around?
<Palutena> Just testing the effects of my antidote.
<TT> It did work, right?
<Palutena> As far as I can tell, you're free of any spell.
<TT> Oh, good, then I can assure you that my love for you is completely genuine.
<Palutena> Wait, what?
<TT> I had to be sure it wasn't your magic that made me fall for you, though I was pretty sure it wasn't. After all, I was interested in you long before you cursed me. Though it wasn't until the other day that I bought you this ring.
<Palutena> You're a sarcastic and coarse man, but there's something... interesting about you. I accept.
<TT> Does this mean you're not going to test curses on me anymore?
<Palutena> Only if you behave.
<TT> ...
...
<Celever> It was fun fighting with you today, Keeper! :D
<Keeper> You too! I didn't know little girls were that tough.
<Celever> I am not a little girl! I'm older than you are by tonnes!
<Keeper> Well, it's hard to take you seriously when you're always running around playing hide and seek in the camp.
<Celever> But it's fun! You should join in one day. :D
<Keeper> Okay, sure, why not.
<Celever> Wow, I didn't expect you to actually say yes. :O
<Keeper> I was abandoned when I was a kid so I never had anyone to play with. May as well get in some playtime now!
<Celever> ... that turned depressing really quickly. :<
<Keeper> Nah, it's cool, I got to make friends with all sorts of cool animals. And it means you have a playmate now, right?
<Celever> True! Yay for playing! :D​

We get to pick another character to join the party! (update)

Please see my previous posts for notes regarding the kids. I'll still be accepting some discussion about the matter since I was operating under the false presumption that IE would be able to support with everyone. She can support with Brady, Morgan, or Gerome, but not Nah or Noire. So if people want to change their vote with this new knowledge, there's still time to do so.

Anna Merchants: n/a at the moment. I also have a Rift Door, so if there's a particular thing you think I should RNG manipulate to get, let me know.

Along these lines, I'd like to gather opinions on Nowi's weapon. I can at any point summon Tiki's SpotPass team to buy Dragonstone+s for Nowi to use, which is a pretty common strategy in Luna/Luna+, but kinda overkill in this mode. Should I buy them for her? Not buy them at all? Wait until a specific time to buy the, such as post-11 or Valm? Are we just going to reclass her so it doesn't matter? Feel free to share your opinions. NOTE: Regular Dragonstones are purchasable after C13. Dragonstone+s are not available to purchase regularly until right before Endgame. However, both drop from enemies, a regular Stone in C11 and I think you get 1 or 2 +s during the Valm arc.


Player Notes:

A rather short chapter in terms of action like most of the side stories, but at least we had plenty of Supports to fill it up. >_>

I wanted to let IE level up more than she did, but it's hard to play this level conservatively without getting the chests looted and NPC Anna killing everything anyway. As it stands, even slowing down just enough to let IE get the 2 levels she did get, I didn't end up getting the Arms Scroll because enemy thief who fled the turn after he looted it and I wasn't up far enough to kill him. OH WELL.

Chapter 14: I'm on a boat

Finally, Plegia got their ass in gear and sent the boats over for us. Our main group took the lead boat with Camo and CJ, with the redshirt soldiers taking all of the other boats. The fleet was huge! Then we saield off towards Valm, hoping to intercept the rest of their ships before bad stuff happens.


<Drohn> Woo, I'm on a ship!
<IE> Yes, it's lovely. In my time, all the ships were smashed and burned to pieces.
<Light> Wow, aren't you a mood killer.
<Drohn> It's nice to have you fighting on our side finally, IE. Why didn't you stick around after you helped us foil the assassination plot?
<IE> It would have totally ruined my mysterious demeanor. Besides, being from the future, I didn't want to change things too much. Butterfly effect and all. I was happy just saving you and Vesperia.
<Cinesra> So, my lady, what exactly would have happened if you hadn't saved our Prince that day? Clearly he must not have died or he wouldn't have been around to father you.
<IE> No, he survived the assassination attempt in my time, but became crippled and broken. Though, really, I'm not sure how long that will last. The river of time seems to favour its original course. Sure, I saved Vesperia from being killed by that sorcerer assassin, but she still died not much later. Makes me wonder if coming back was worth it at all.
<Drohn> Well, you saved my butt, and for that I'm grateful.
<IE> Don't be so cocky; you're not invincible. And you did still die in my world, too, just later.
<Drohn> How did that happen, do you know?
<IE> Yes, you were betrayed and murdered by someone very close to you, though I don't know who it was.​


Suddenly, a sharp pain jabbed into my head, and I reeled on the deck, clutching my forehead in agony.


<Athena> Oh, damn that hurts.
<Drohn> Athena, are you okay?
<Palutena> Don't mind her, she's just foreshadowing.
<IE> Aaaaanyway, since stuff is still messed up, I figured I may as well put my all into the fight, and that's why I'm here now. Though I'm still hoping we can rescue some of my companions at some point.
<Drohn> We'll find them, no worries.
<Camo> Actually, I think there's at least one worry.
<Drohn> What's that?
<CJ> Our scouts have reported back that the Valmese navy has just as many ships as we do, but at least double the soldiers. Their ships are filled brim to brim with sweaty horsemen, and ours are half-filled at best.
<Athena> Hmmmm.... what other assets do we have?
<Camo> The usual. Food, supplies, rope, fresh water. Oh, and like hundreds of barrels of oil for some reason.
<CJ> Really? Oil?
<Camo> Oh, I know! We can set their ships on fire! :D
<Everyone> ...
<CJ> You do know that we'd be just as likely to set our own ships on fire, right?
<Athena> BRILLIANT PLAN
<Drohn> Wait, what?
<Athena> Don't worry guys, I got this. But first, we're going to need to have a small group of people kill their general.
<Drohn> Sure, we can volunteer for that. But why do we need to kill the general?
<Athena> Because otherwise we wouldn't get to have a battle this chapter?
<Drohn> Fair enough. I'm all for a fight anyway. Killing bosses in small skirmishes seems to be our destiny.
<Athena> No way, man. Don't put any stock in that destiny hogwash.
<CJ> Hey, that's my line! D:
<Athena> Sure, we're connected, but we're connected through the ties that we forge with each other, like with supports and crap. There's no such thing as "destiny". That's the whole theme of this game!
<Drohn> Okay, okay, I get the picture. Forget I said anything. I'm not good at plot themes and junk anyway.


Drohn led our command ship up and soon we were directly engaged in battle with their own command ship and its two mates. I sent TT and Palutena to take out the second ship and Cinesra and Light to the third, with the rest of us storming the main ship where there general awaited. Their soldiers rushed us and their flyers harassed us, but we killed them as they came and most of the soldiers went down in their first wave, the remainder acting more cautious as we followed them onto the ships and took their lives. Light rushed around healing us while TT found some chests to loot, and soon it was just us as the general, who went down like a sack of broccoli after IE skewered him through the weak points in his armor.


<Drohn> Alright, the general is down; I'm giving the signal! Ramming speed, full ahead!
<Light> Oh sh*t, oh sh*t, oh sh*t....
<Athena> Everybody prepare to jump.... now!
<Ships on Fire> VWOOOOOOOSH
<Keeper> Yay, fire! :D
<TT> I can't believe that actually worked.
<Camo> Only you could hatch such a brilliant scheme, Athena. Who else would desert half our vessels and turn them into flaming cannonballs? They never considered anyone might be willing to sacrifice half a fleet...
<CJ> More likely they never considered anyone would be cold-blooded enough to kill thousands of troops without a fair engagement.
<Athena> Eh, no rules in love and war.
<Drohn> Now, onto Valm so we can kick their asses!​


With all of our troops packed into the remaining vessels, we continued our journey to the heart of Valm. It would still be another couple weeks before we would reach their shores, so we spent the rest of the trip recuperating and saving our strength.


<PMJ> You did very well during that last battle, Minerva!
<Drac> PMJ is fighting bravely too, yes?
<PMJ> You weren't so shabby yourself, Drac.
<Minerva> *grumblesquak*
<Drac> Don't grumble at Drac, Minerva, I was just going to give you the complimentings too!
<PMJ> Wait, you can understand Minerva?
<Drac> Oh, yes, Drac know wyverns very well. Did job one in Wyvern Valley. Not fun job, but Drac learned many things, like wyvern speakings.
<PMJ> Not a fun job? I would have loved working in Wyvern Valley! What did you do?
<Drac> Drac ordered to collect claws from dead wyverns, yes? But Drac is with wicked men. They turn mission into wyvern–hunting party. Soon, we come across mother wyvern trying to protect baby. …Mother not make it.
<PMJ> D:!
<Minerva> *screechsquakroarchomp*
<PMJ> Oh, Minerva, what's wrong?
<Drac> …Wait. Gregor remembers this cry. Is sounding like baby wyvern in a valley.
<PMJ> Drac, would you mind leaving us alone for a bit?
<Drac> Drac melt into shadows like piece of butter. *walks off*
<PMJ> Now, Minerva. What is it you want to tell me? ... *gasp* …are you sure?
...
<IE> I love sparring with you, father. It's so fun! ^_^
<Drohn> Still weird to hear you call me that sometimes. You're not much younger than I am in this time, you know.
<IE> It bothers you? I can stop if you want.
<Drohn> You don't have to stop, it'll just take some getting used to. Consider it a father-daughter secret.
<IE> In the future, you used to tell me little secrets like that all the time, it was great!
<Drohn> What, you mean I was some furtive guy keeping secrets from his wife?
<IE> Ah, no, not like that, just little stories. Though you never did tell me how you and Athena fell in love.
<Drohn> Well, uh, that's, uh, not really a story I'd feel comfortable telling my daughter.
<IE> Why? Is it sexy?
<Drohn> >_>
<IE> How about this, if I beat you in sparring next time, you have to share. Deal?
<Drohn> Deal.
<Drohn> *whisper* Now to go practice like my life depends on it....​

Player Notes:

It was a lot easier to feed exp to IE during this level, though enemies kept prioritizing Athena, which is how she managed to gain another level. TT and PP went right for the chests and I let PP take care of the initial wave of enemies since she could attack at both ranges, then I let TT pick off the last mage and then open the chests and work his way down. Cinesra and Light started in the bottom boat with Cinesra in front gaining some sword exp (he's up to a D now, woohoo!), but he got hurt pretty bad after that first enemy phase, so I ended up swapping to having Light in front so she could heal and attack. Celever and IE were the head points of attack on the left side, with IE paired with Drohn and Athena behind, and Drac and PMJ flew up to attack some guys with a hand axe. IE got hurt kinda badly, enough where I Physic-ed her from afar the turn I moved Maribelle away, but mostly it was a breeze. When PMJ gained her second level, I went back to the boats and switched to Drac, though I was mostly focusing on cleaning up with IE at that point so he didn't get much exp. The bottom right PK reinforcements kinda followed TT around plinking at him because he was more focused on getting chests; I was able to save the ranged one for IE to kill by just ignoring it (it was only doing 1 damage to him anyway) and lead it back over to the left.

This chapter is one of my least favourite in terms of plot. The whole ridiculous "let's burn down all of their boats in the middle of the ocean" plan which somehow works and of which no one questions the dubious morality either, and then the very forced rant from Athena about destiny which just comes out of left field and is pretty obviously only put there to introduce the destiny/ties sub-theme of the game, which I'm pretty sure is only included because

that way they can let you sacrifice the avatar in the very last chapter but still have some in-universe excuse for him/her to not die and come back after the credits are done rolling.

Oh well, onto Valm!

Depending on how many DLC chapters I do, if any, we're at about the halfway point of the playthrough.
 
RE: Fire Emblem Awakening: PokéBeach Member Edition! Chapter 13 - Help pick our new teammate!

Chapter 15: Sure, let's keep allying with people we just met. It seems to work out well for us.

<Celever> Hey, look everyone! I see land! It's Valm!
<PMJ> Yep, this is Valm Harbor, the mightiest of their port cities. When I fled, it was being strengthened considerably.
<Drac> This gives Drac plenty of targets to smash, yes?
<Drohn> Smash as much as you want; we're going to take this "conqueror" down.
<Athena> Huh, I didn't expect there to be as many active soldiers as there are. I would have thought they'd have all been on the ships we just burned down.
<Cinesra> It looks like they're harassing a beautiful young woman.
<Light> *elbow jab*
<Drohn> Well, an enemy of theirs is a friend of ours. Let's go kill some dudes and save her butt and see what we can learn.​


And so we came to the shore swords swinging. I sent TT and Palutena over the sand to take care of the soldiers outside of the city while the rest of fought our way deeper, with Celever and Keeper leading the vanguard. Lucina and I and Drac and PMJ kept everyone busy while Drohn, Cinesra, and Light headed off to save the young woman from her tormentors since she seemed to be unarmed. PMJ ended up taking down their leader in a single blow, and once the soldiers were gone, we were able to speak with the townspeople and meet our new young friend, who happened to be a female Porygon-X talking with a bit of a funny accent.


<Porygon> Oh, thank Naga, the Ylissean League has arrived!
<Drohn> Wait, you've heard of us before?
<Porygon> Dudes, you burnt down a thousand of DNA's ships; of course everyone knows about you!
<TT> Wait, how did you learn about the ships burning down if they all died and we're the first ones to arrive from our side?
<Porygon> It doesn't matter; you're here! My name is Porygon-X and I'm trying to organize a resistance against DNA.
<Athena> Oh, so there is an organized resistance in Valm?
<Porygon> Well... "organized" is a strong word. Basically, none of the little kingdoms (we call them dynasts because we're foreign and edgy) actually wants to be under DNA's control, but their leaders all too lazy and greedy to actually put forth an effort into doing anything about it unless they're directly threatened or they see some kind of profit. I'm trying to unite them, but a lot of people don't trust me because my brother is DNA's right-hand man.
<Athena> Let me guess, your brother is Kecleon-X?
<Porygon> ... yes, how did you know?
<Drohn> So, wait, if no one trusts you, how were you planning to unite these people?
<Porygon> By freeing someone they do trust! Most people in Valm worship Tiki, who is the Voice and prophet of the great dragon Naga. But she's been kidnapped and is under house arrest by DNA's soldiers. If we free her and get her to vouch for us, the people will probably unite around us.
<Drohn> Sure, sounds like plan. We can rest up here for the night now that the soldiers are gone and head out to her prison in the morning.​


And so we spent the rest of the evening and night in the harbor town. Most of the civilians were against DNA's rule and so they were happy to have us, telling us little stories and giving us gifts to help in the fighting.


<IE> Hey, mother, there's a nice market here. Why don't we take a look for a dress for you like we talked about?
<Athena> Sure, it'll be interesting to learn a bit about Valm through their clothing choices.
<IE> Let's see what good things I can find... I have always prided myself on my subtle tastes, like this sparkling magenta dress! It's just perfect for you!
<Athena> Nah, the colour clashes with my robe too much.
<IE> Maybe this octopus dress?
<Athena> I love the design, but it's so short I wouldn't want anyone but your father to see me in it.
<IE> Hmmm, maybe there's something over here...
<Athena> Oh, would you look at this cute little thing?
<IE> Mom, that's baby clothes.
<Athena> I know, but little-you would love it!
<IE> I guess moms really do never stop thinking of their kids...
...
<Celever> Aww, why did all the kids run away? Have they never seen anyone turn into a dragon before?
<Keeper> Probably not! But, hey, we'll find some more victims as we progress further into Valm.
<Celever> Man, I would have thought kids would love me turning into a dragon and breathing fire and flying around.
<Keeper> I know, it's so cool! They don't know what they're missing.
<Celever> I wish I had dragon friends to play with so we could breathe fire at each other and stuff. :< *pout*
<Keeper> Hey, maybe I could make you one!
<Celever> Really, that's so cool! Thank you! ^_^​

Decisions, Decisions:

We get to pick another character to join the party! (update)

Please see my previous posts for notes regarding the kids. I'll still be accepting some discussion about the matter since I was operating under the false presumption that IE would be able to support with everyone. She can support with Brady, Morgan, or Gerome, but not Nah or Noire. So if people want to change their vote with this new knowledge, there's still time to do so.

No one's really expressed much of an opinion on this, but there's still plenty of time, so I'm going to leave it open.


Master & Second Seal Possibilities:

Ice Espeon has reached Lv. 20 and must either reclass or promote before the next level! Please vote for your choice!

Second Seals: 6
Celever: Can switch to Wyvern Rider or Mage
IE: Can switch to any base class, so long as it's not male-only, including Tactician.
TT (promoted): Can switch to Thief, Fighter, or Myrmidon
Light (promoted): Can switch to Troubador, Pegasus Knight, or Mage
Athena (promoted): Can switch to any base class, so long as it's not male-only
Drac (promoted): Can switch to Barbarian, Myrmidon, or Mercenary
Drohn (promoted): Can switch to Cavalier, Archer, or Lord
Cinesra (promoted): Can switch to Wyvern Rider, Mage, or Archer
Palutena (promoted) : Can switch to Knight, Archer, or Dark Mage
PMJ (promoted): Can switch to Troubador, Cleric, or Wyvern Knight
Keeper (promoted) : Can switch to Barbarian, Thief, or Dark Mage

Master Seals: ∞ (C12 shop)
Ice Espeon: Can promote to Great Lord

Please vote for your choice(s)! If a suggestion gets 2 separate votes from different sources (posts, not likes), the promotion/change will happen before the next chapter. The only exception to this rule is any unit who hits Lv. 20 in either class, in which case they must be sealed before the next chapter, no matter how many votes.

Current Suggestions:

Promotions:

Class Changes:
Celever -> DK/GR (@30)
IE -> Cavalier


Paralogues: Still accepting votes on when do do Morgan's and Noire's Recruitment Levels, if neither is chosen for our kid, which is unlikely at this point. Brady's Recruitment Level is also accessible! Now that we've finished C16, we can use it to get up there. Since he's the one who has the highest amount of votes for Lucina's partner instead of Nowi, if we want her to partner with someone she can actually support with for bonuses, now is the time to decide. Please vote for your choice(s)! If no one really cares much, which seems to be the case, I'll probably wait until we recruit whichever kid ends up being our final and then do the other kid levels after that.

DLC, Wireless Menu, & Shopping: Current Gold: 36,265
Anna Merchants: One with a Rescue and one with a Beast Killer. I also have a Rift Door, so if there's a particular thing you think I should RNG manipulate to get, let me know. We also got an Arms Scroll from one of the villages, if there's someone you think deserves it.

We've gotten a single vote so far to do the Hot Spring DLC.


Player Notes:

Another easy chapter to feed exp. Celever and IE got the full benefit of this, and IE has now maxed out Lord. We've got one vote for her to SS into Cavalier, but that's all, so please speak up and vote for what you'd like to see her do next! Whereas IE was very effective at killing things (Rapier makes Valm's knights and horsies look like toys), Celever's effectiveness is starting to slow down, especially her lack of speed. Pairing her up with DK Keeper gives her great defenses but does little else, and she was very reliant on his dual strikes to ORKO. I sent TT and PP down into the sand not because they need the exp, but because PP is the only one I have that can move in the sand at a speed faster than a crawl, aside from PMJ who spent most of the level paired up with Drac to let him get some exp, though they're both kind of slow going. It'll be easier once they've S'ed and I can split them up to let them both get more kills instead of just one or the other. They're both really good at killing things, though, so the fact that they're less leveled compared to some of the others isn't that big of a concern to me (aside from my OCD). Keeper's also a bit lower, but that's because he's spending all his time and effort supporting Celever, which means little exp but he's getting good weapon exp at least; already a B in tomes. I've given him a sword, but I don't really plan on letting him use it much.
 
RE: Fire Emblem Awakening: PokéBeach Member Edition! Chapter 15 - Help pick our new teammate!

I suggest IE to change into Great Lord.

<HenryKeeper> Hey, maybe I could make you one!
 
RE: Fire Emblem Awakening: PokéBeach Member Edition! Chapter 15 - Help pick our new teammate!

I also vote for IE to be promoted to Great Lord uwu
 
RE: Fire Emblem Awakening: PokéBeach Member Edition! Chapter 15 - Help pick our new teammate!

I vote to make IE and Troubador bc why not? I don't think we have one already :v
 
RE: Fire Emblem Awakening: PokéBeach Member Edition! Chapter 15 - Help pick our new teammate!

Prof. Light was a Troubadour before she promoted into a Valkyrie. :p

Current IE Tally stands at:
Great Lord (2): ninjas, S&E
Cavalier (1): Dialkia
Troubador (1): Celever
Tactician (1): Keeper
 
RE: Fire Emblem Awakening: PokéBeach Member Edition! Chapter 15 - Help pick our new teammate!

Actually, ninjas voted for Great Lord, not me... Unless I did before and forgot.
But I vote to switch to Tactician for Veteran. Then you can promote for Ignis and change classes from there.

...Not that it'll happen with Great Lord already being at two votes, but I gotta be rebellious.

@Ninjas, what is that supposed to mean?
 
RE: Fire Emblem Awakening: PokéBeach Member Edition! Chapter 15 - Help pick our new teammate!

Whoops, fixed the vote and updated the tally. But you might be forgetting that IE already has Ignis since that was the skill Athena passed down.
