>>6164009Maybe! Maybe not. He may have found a way to get by.
>>6164103He got the Byleth doll he wanted as a kid, complete with an attachable Sword of the Creator.
>>6164225Sure, let's see.
Adeline: She respects Tristain as a warrior and knows he’s well-meaning, even if he is stubborn and hard-headed. She’s having a difficult time acclimating to things, as she’s usually always been alone. She still considers Tristain an enemy she’ll need to beat to win the Competition.
May: The most loyal to Tristain. Grateful he saved her life and gave her a sense of purpose, as well as potential future opportunities.
Cassius: Respects and likes Tristain. Is open about the fact he’s here mostly to learn more about Fodlan, as well as to potentially get in the good graces of the future king.
Cuthbert: Thinks Tristain is weird, and can’t fathom why anyone would want to fight as much as he does.
Elric: Looks at Tristain as a bit of an older brother. Although he’s been acting a bit off since picking up that sword…
Nadia: Is infatuated with Tristain, mostly because of something she saw when looking at his blood.
Alvin: Thinks of Tristain as a good friend, and one whom he is in debt to.
>>6164233This is awesome. I'm glad I passed the audit, because last time Blair would have had the IRS knocking on her door with how many discrepancies there were.
I wanted a bit of a slower MC this time around to counterbalance how sanic-tier fast Blair was. I thought it would be nice to do something different this time around. I balanced Tristain’s stats with Hector from FE7 in mind, but that was after Axes had been chosen as our weapon. Had we picked Swords, he’d probably have more speed. Same with lances.
It’s funny how one-sided a Blair win is, but as you said, that’s with Tristain’s current kit. I’d wager he’ll have no shortage of tools by the end of this, both magic and mundane. You’re right though, Blair was tough as shit in her day. I wonder if she kept up with her training…
You made an interesting comment about Tristain’s relics. Unfortunately, they’d probably be stuck in a vault in Garreg Mach. Unless of course someone already brought one over to Morfis. I wonder if there’s anyone around who could have done that though?
Thanks for the in-depth analysis. Always a pleasure to see a longform post from you.
