I’m starting to work on creating my own Fire Emblem game as of recently, and I thought it would be a great idea to ask you all what kind of character you would like to see.
For those who don’t know already, Fire Emblem is a fantasy setting. I should definetly be able to add humans and dragons (manaketes) to the game, though anything beyond that isn’t guarenteed.
If you have any ideas, please put them in the comments. A submission (sounds way too formal but idk what other word to use) should have a name, species (human or dragon/manakete), a gender (or specify agender), race, and a class. If you want to, get creative with the classes, as long as I understand what you mean, I should be able to get them to work within established FE classes. If you want to get really creative, come up with a physical description, and/or even a personality!
I’ll turn on upvotes temporarily once post traction slows down, and whichever character has the most upvotes will be added. This means that, even if you don’t want to design a character, you can support your fellow hexbears who created characters that you like. If there’s a lot of submissions, I can pick the top few and do a recount, and then add the winner of the recount. If I have the space in the ROM, I could possibly even add multiple characters.
If you end up submitting, thank you, and I look forward to seeing what you all come up with. 
I forgot to add, if you are interested in any established details about the game/story, feel free to ask. I would honestly love to talk about it!
I thought of some more characters:
A character that has high movement, high constitution(?), and high defense but low attack and low speed whose basic function is to rescue people and ferry them across the map. Lorewise it could be some golem that’s programed by its creator to avoid violence. Maybe they can also get the exp bonus skill so leveling up the character won’t be a complete slog.
Survivors of a naval expedition from a faraway land. The survivors could be scattered across the game. It’s also a good way to introduce characters that aren’t just Europeans/white passing like the vast majority of FE characters. Real-life example is something like Mansa Musa’s predecessor sailing across the Atlantic never to return.
A pair of characters, one who is a legendary person and one who is a complete fraud pretending to be the legendary character after the legendary character goes missing. The fraud could be heroic in their own right with people confusing the heroic acts of the fraud with the heroic acts of the legend.
I really like these! The idea of a foreign expedition being scattered and lost sounds like a good one.
Yeah I’m not planning on letting this game suffer at the hands of the Cracker Curse.
