It was a tragedy, shocking people throughout the world. On a seemingly normal day, the grand capital of the nation Esteos, the pristine and beautiful Estralis city, was quite literally lost to sea. Within the span of a mere few hours, the land beneath and surrounding the city was swallowed into the ocean, leaving few survivors.
With the center of their very nation lost so suddenly, the infrastructure of Esteos crumbled almost overnight, as much of the nation's commerce and success depended on the capital. Most of the nation became lawless land, full of bandit clans taking advantage of the chaos or nobles attempting to seize power in their own holdings to establish their own kingdoms amidst the lawlessness.
Throughout the chaos, neighboring nations stepped in to keep order out of either friendship to Esteos or out of personal interest to keep their own borders secure. With so many nations attempting to establish order in such a short time, many small skirmishes and strange alliances have sprung up in the quest to keep Esteos from becoming a desolate land fit only for criminals and ruffians. Ironically, the campaign to keep the peace has caused only more strife.
In the middle of all the chaos, the only child of King Steiner of Esteos, the young prince Isaac, had been informed of his country's sudden downfall while out visiting relatives in the neighboring nation of Albium. Suddenly his life was thrown into to complete disarray; his entire immediately family dead, he finds himself now the only remaining Lord of the now defunct nation. Against the recommendation of his cousin, Princess Kimata of Albium, Isaac has made it his goal to re-establish his kingdom in the name of his late father, and to push out foreign interests to bring Esteos back to life and to find out just what caused the entire city to fall.
With his mission laid out before him, Isaac's uncle, King Ghayle of Albium, provides his young nephew with soldiers from his own elite guard so that he may hold is own as he tries to establish his new holding in Esteos.
You are a member of Prince Isaac's force, following him as he pursues his goal to return Esteos to its former glory. You could be either a friend of Prince Isaac who traveled with him to keep him safe, a member of the elite Albium guard sent by King Ghayle, a guard from Esteos assigned by King Steiner to guard his son, or anything you can think of (as long as it makes sense for you to be following Isaac, of course). Together, can you help the young lord defy the Call of the Abyss, and revive a fallen kingdom and build it once more on its own ashes?
___
Fire Emblem: Call of the Abyss is a plot-driven RP based (obviously) in the Fire Emblem universe. In this RP, you will assume the role of a soldier serving under Prince Isaac of Esteos as he attempts to reclaim his homeland. This quest will involve combat against other kingdoms, bandits, and forces unseen in the pursuit of your ultimate goal, and will also involve the running of a kingdom as Isaac gains power throughout the story. Combat will play a significant role in the roleplay, as will the interactions between player characters and NPCs alike.
Important Setting Information (Please Read!) -
Map of the Continent of Castradea
Spoiler:
(I'm pretty terrible at organizing maps but I figured it would be best to just draw the general borders. The colored dots within each nation represents the capital.)
Blue Borders - Kingdom of Esteos (Capital: Sunken City of Estralis)
Red Borders - Kingdom of Albium (Capital: Corona City)
Green Borders - Ormican Federation (Capital: Dalentar City)
Purple Borders - Arcymis Magocracy (Capital: Vilduar City)
Yellow Borders - Krytocracy of Indartis (Capital: Old Southhill City)
Nations in Detail
Spoiler:
Esteos
Ruler: King Steiner IV (Deceased), currently without rule. Isaac is the last living heir.
Esteos was a land of barbarians in ages past, full of roaming clans constantly warring with each other. For hundreds of years, it was seen as a savage land of unruly bandits. This changed when the barbarian lord Esteos began leading his clan in conquest, simultaneously establishing his own kingdom and bringing civilization to an otherwise uncivilized land. Within a few decades, Esteos became a successful kingdom well-founded in trade due to high amounts of mineral wealth. Named after its founder, Esteos held little in common with its barbaric origins and became known as a place of refinement and taste until the recent cataclysm that swallowed the capital and many surrounding cities.
Esteans were known to be a patriotic lot, and embraced their own culture while resisting the cultures of surrounding areas. Many freedom fighters remain in Esteos, fighting off the would-be occupiers of the lost nation.
Albium
Ruler: King Ghayle II
Albium is the oldest kingdom present on Castradea, home to much history of economic success. Well-known for its rich farmland, Albium provides food to most of the continent. The nation is also known for its legendary cavalry, which many a knight of legend has been a member of. Albium had long been an enemy of the kingdom of Esteos until the reign of King Ghayle I, whom worked to repair relations with their neighbor. To cement the alliance between the two nations, King Steiner the III of Esteos wed his son Steiner IV to the daughter of King Ghayle, princess Valentia. Albium currently has a weak presence in Esteos, having recently recovered from a bout of plague that killed off nearly 25% of its citizenry before dying out.
Due to their family ties and recently repaired relations, Albium is among the greatest of allies to Esteos. Many intermarriages occurr and it is not uncommon for intermarriages between two families of the same nation to take place. Many families have been severed due to the sinking of Estralis.
Ormica
Ruler: The High Council, led by Chancellor Odysseia
Ormica is a collection of former city-states with a long history of infighting and conflict, only recently having been united into a single nation to strengthen the region as a whole. Ormica is culturally rich and diverse due to the individual culture of each city-state contributing to the overall melting pot that is Ormica. Ormica's relations with its neighbors are quite healthy, as Ormica prides itself on being a sociable trade state. It is therefore shocking that Ormica is investing so heavily in the occupation of Esteos, where it has a strong presence.
Ormica's diverse city-states include Dalentar, a renowned port city known for its culture of fisherman and a strong navy; Fezzikton, a city formerly home to a clan of berserkers whose traditions are still taught today; Olfheim, a city once home to a matriarchy of female pegasus knights and warriors; and Valantar, sister city to Dalentar known for its school of arts that teaches the finest of bards.
Arcymis
Ruler: Grand Archmagus Oldenhaller
Arcymis is a magocracy/meritocracy where skill in magic determines one's place in society. Home to grand libraries, halls of tomes, and magic academies, Arcymis is the undisputed leading nation of the world as far as magic is concerned. Almost every citizen in Arcymis knows a bit of magic since it is so critical to their society, and those who do not are seen as second class citizens. Civil tensions have been intensifying lately due to activists opposing the harsh treatment of non-magical citizens. Grand Archmagus Oldenhaller, though advanced in age, is widely known to be one of the most powerful beings in the world due to his formidable skill in magic. Arcymis has the weakest presence in Esteos at the moment, though they are suspect for the sinking of Estralis city due to the magnitude of their magical resources.
Many a student of magic has studied at the Library of Ignis, where students of all age are taught everything about magic from the early concepts to the advanced destructive spells.
Indartis
Ruler: Judge Magister Weiss
Indartis is a Krytocracy, a nation ruled by its judges. Indartis was plagued by a civil war that lasted for one hundred years, but both sides of the war were brought into line when the judicial court stepped in to establish order. Since then, Indartis has been a notoriously ruthless nation in prosecuting its own criminals. Many argue that the judges are power-crazed and afraid of any upset in the delicate balance of the law, but none would dare speak such ideas aloud for fear of being charged with treason. Indartis has the strongest presence in Esteos, as Judge Magister Weiss is interested in expanding the domain of his kingdom.
Indartis is highly distrusted by other nations for being quite strict on their own populace. Citizens wishing to leave Indartis must pay an outrageous immigration fee which keeps most people stuck in Indartis. Discontent is present but is often rooted out.
Religion
Religion is present but not prominent on Castradea; most worship is paid to Naga, the divine dragon who gave power to the Hero-King Marth to defeat Medeus, the Earth Dragon. Many people and clergymen pay their respects to her. Many citizens also praise a nameless creator, though there is no defined religion on such a figure. Worshipers of the shadow dragon Grima are known as the Grimleal, though such cults dedicated to Grima are outlawed in every nation. Many underground Grimleal cults migrated to the lawless Esteos upon the sinking of Estralis.
There have been tales of a race of draconic shapeshifters named Manaketes; spawn of Naga who take the form of young women that are capable of transforming into dragons. Such tales are told often, but sighting of Manaketes are extremely rare.
Important People
Spoiler:
Prince Isaac Esteos - Age 22, displaced prince of Esteos. King Steiner Esteos IV - Age 48 (At death), Former King of Esteos, father of Isaac.

Formerly the leader of the city of Dalentar before the formation of Ormica, she has long been known to be a no-nonsense, practical ruler. She has no children. Grand Archmagus Edwin Oldenhaller - Age 102, Ruler of Arcymis. Due to his astronomical skill in magic, he is one of the most powerful beings in the world and is suspect to having sunk the city of Estralis (though those with knowledge in magic know that such a task is impossible for one man, even Oldenhaller). Judge Magister Nolan Weiss - Age 33, A former street urchin who miraculously worked his ways into the graces of lawmen at a young age, Weiss climbed the ladder of the law until he made his way to the position of Judge Magister, leader of Indartis. Known to be a cold yet intelligent man.
Members of Isaac's Army
Spoiler:
Isaac - A lord, Age 22, displaced prince of Esteos. Easily influenced and not very confident, Isaac has hardly ever been involved in actual combat or conquest. What he lacks in skill, however, he makes up for in drive and charisma. He sways the common folk to his side with his natural charm. The biggest glutton of the army with a seemingly endless stomach.
Silas - A myrmidon, age 24, son of an Esteos noble and friend of Isaac since childhood. A known hothead whose confidence in battle leads him to victory and defeat alike. He is fiercely protective and heroic, especially towards women who he seeks to impress.
Naomi - A thief, age 20, a street urchin who had attempted to steal from Prince Isaac on the street when they were children. Instead of jailing her, Steiner took the poor girl in and had her trained as a spy for the kingdom. She has been raised like a sister to Isaac for years. Kind yet mischievous, she is a recovering kleptomaniac who still falls prey to her old habit every now and then.
Kasumi - A myrmidon, age 22, a daughter of a friend of King Steiner's. A studious young girl who studied swordplay and tactics from a young age. Because he lacks an entire trained war council, Kasumi serves as Isaac's tactician during his campaign in Esteos. Kasumi is an awkward person with little skill in social situations, so she recluses herself when her presence is not needed.
Faye - A cavalier, age 42, a veteran knight of Esteos who has been Isaac's bodyguard since he was young. Calm, level-headed and cautious, she is a voice of reason on the battlefield who uses her experience to gauge the tide of battle. She has trouble seeing opinions other than her own and dislikes being proven wrong.
Duncan - A priest of Naga, age 25, the Divine Dragon, who has been a servant of King Ghayle since he was a child. He travels with Isaac to keep him safe, to spread kindness and altruism, and to aid any other clergymen along the way. Duncan is a caring soul who tends to the injured after every battle, but he can overbearing at times.
Ririka - A mercenary, age 18, one of the soldiers provided by King Ghayle to help Isaac on his journey. Formerly a knight in training, after showing a complete ineptitude in riding horses she instead became a foot soldier. She is smitten with Isaac and tries her best to impress them with her skills with the sword. Known to be a fantastic cook.
Varos - A swordmaster, age 45, a veteran soldier in the service of King Ghayle since he was a young man. Though weary of the ways of war and ready to retire, he volunteered to be a part of Isaac's force to reclaim his former home. Though gruff and stoic, he has a soft spot for children.
Alora - A pegasus knight, age 20, one of the soldiers provided by King Ghayle and Ririka's best friend. Alora is a lover of nature and tends to her own gardens in her spare time. Alora tends to the army's animals, and is particularly protective of them. Contrary to Ririka, Alora is an awful cook.

Character Creation
There are no playable races other than humans in this game. Your character's skill in battle is defined by his or her stats, which are themselves determined by the class they belong to and their own personal skills.
The stats, measured on a scale of 1 to 10, are:
Str (Strength) - Determines the character's physical prowess.
Skl (Skill) - Determines grace and aptitude in combat, as well as efficiency in tasks involving dexterity.
Mag (Magic) - Determines a character's magical prowess.
Spd (Speed) - Determines a character's agility and initiative.
Def (Defense) - Determines a character's physical resistance to damage.
Res (Resistance) - Determines a character's resistance to magical damage.
Combat is determined by approximation on my part based on the situation; the character's class versus the enemy's class, the stats of each character, the weapons equipped, and the terrain of the battle. The battles are not mathematically decided, they are done with approximation and as a general rule, player characters have an upper hand on untrained bandits and soldiers.
Each class has a predetermined stat distribution. Each player character can add +1 to two of their stats to reflect their own personal strengths. Classes are not restricted by gender in any instance.
Upon reaching a certain point in the story, your characters may be promoted past their original base class. You may choose a second tier class to advance to, and upon doing so, you can add another +1 to one your stats in addition to the two +1 bonuses that carry on from your base class. A second promotion can later be received to a third tier class, and yet another +1 to your stats can be added. No stat can have more than one +1 bonus. Each second tier class only has one third tier class, so choose your promotion wisely!

Weapons
The three physical weapons (Swords, Lances, Axes) act in a 'weapon triangle' that determine which weapons are advantageous to others, similar to a game of rock, paper, scissors.
Swords best Axes, Axes best Lances, Lances best Swords.
This is not a definite indicator of combat victory and a lance wielder can still defeat an axe wielder in combat; the axe wielder will simply have an advantage.
In addition, tomes, staves, and bows exist.
Tomes are necessary for the casting of destructive spells. Tomes are of four elements; lightning, fire, wind, and dark magic. Only dark mages, sorcerers, archmages, and maguses can wield dark tomes.
Staves are necessary for the casting of divine spells that heal and aid companions.
Bows can attack from a distance!
When beginning your character, you start with the iron version of any weapon your class is capable of wielding (if you are a tome or staff user, you start with the 'basic' heal staff/two 'basic' tomes of two elements of your choice).

Res: Weapon: Nationality: Appearance: (Hair colors are quite vivid in this setting; go nuts if you want, just don't have a character with a rainbow for hair.) Bio/Backstory: Personality: Misc Information (Optional):
I have no problem with pre-established relationships between your characters and other player characters or even the pre-established NPCs in Isaac's army if you so wish; they are made with basic personalities to allow such. I would just ask that you not relate your character family-wise to royalty such as Isaac, Ghayle, Weiss, or others. In addition, I would ask that you not establish yourself as an NPC's lover; I plan to make the NPCs able to fall in love over the course of the RP in true Fire Emblem fashion. You can't start with an NPC as a lover, but you can establish such a relationship over time.
If you don't wish to relate your character with an NPC, that's fine too! The focus is on the Player Characters and Isaac; the NPCs are there to simply give Isaac's army a larger head count and a bit of variety.
In addition to your appearance, I am offering the option to select a sprite portrait much like those given to the NPCs, so that I can use them to make graphics and the like for the characters in the RP. Like I said, this optional, but I will need a portrait if you want me to make anything such as a character sheet in the style of the Fire Emblem games.
You can find portraits here and here. Simply choose which portrait you like and let me know which character's portrait you've chosen, in addition to any color corrections you might want me to make (blue hair, darker skin,etc). I will do what I can to match your descriptions.
Enjoy the RP, everyone!

Rules:
1 - All UESP forum rules apply.
2 - No god-modding or spamming. Doesn't really need to be said, but it has been said.
3 - I ask that you keep your posts as gramatically correct as possible. Eloquence is not mandated, but don't just submit simple "X did y" posts. Add some detail.
4 - I will try to make combat fair so that you aren't getting destroyed by simple bandits, but they will still pose a challenge to the group. Your character CAN die and if that happens, I will allow you to make another character. As a general rule, I won't kill characters without good reason.
5 - Have fun and be respectful to others. This is meant to be a fun pastime, so treat it as such!

Weapon: Thunder, Flux
Nationality: Arcymis
Appearance: (Hair colors are quite vivid in this setting; go nuts if you want, just don't have a character with a rainbow for hair.) Boyish features, silver hair and violet eyes, Carn has had many admirers in the past. He is a bit shorter than average height but it only adds to his charm.
Bio/Backstory: Carn was born into a family of lesser nobles. Being magically gifted at an early age he distinguished himself among the many would-be mages with a special affinity for dark magic. His willingness to use the dark arts is often at best unnerving for those he chooses to surround himself with and often puts him at odds with the more religious folk such as priests and clerics. It is for his skill and that alone he was chosen to be a part of the army he finds himself in. He hates being a soldier not because he is opposed to killing, it's just that he's quite lazy. He has never had to work hard for anything because it all came naturally to him.
Personality: rough around the edges but he can be truly kind at times. However he's usually quite insufferable to be around.
Misc Information (Optional): He has a serious obsession with the dark magic known as Imhullu. It is unknown where Carn learned of such things but he inquires about it in every settlement the army passes through.
Winter, I'd like to join this but I have literally no idea with anything in the Fire Emblem universe, how accessible will this RP be to me? I really don't want to slow anyone down due to my lack of knowledge.
Fire Emblem is an extremely simple universe to be completely honest, anything that might remotely be out of reach can easily be explained and the Castraedea continent lore (The original lore I made for this RP) is largely independent from other Fire Emblem games.
tl;dr: Don't worry, it's not hard and anything that needs explaining can easily be explained.

Res: 3 Weapon: Iron Axe Nationality: Albium Appearance: (Hair colors are quite vivid in this setting; go nuts if you want, just don't have a character with a rainbow for hair.) Julian is of average height but is a fairly well built young man though his features give him a little bit of a boyish charm Bio/Backstory: Julian was born and raised in Albium to a military family. Julian's family was famed for producing Pegasus knights- a tradition that Julian was more than happy to continue. However due to some bizzare twist of fate during Julian's training he found a seriously injured Wyvern. Over a long period and with the aid of his friend -Alora- the Wyvern was nursed back to health and Julian bonded with the creature when he slowly started to aid it in flying. After this, Julian gave up on his goal of becoming a Pegasus Knight and instead put what he knew to use with his Wyvern. Generally amongst the other Wyvern riders, Julian is looked down upon mainly because his Wyvern was a wild beast rather than being bred for this kind of life. Personality: Julian is a kind young man with a heart of gold, though he does have a mischievous steak a mile long- he often acts in a way that many would call 'unprofessional'. He is also extremely protective of his Wyvern. Misc Information (Optional): Julian is friendly with Alora and by extension a friend of Ririka.
Despite only knowing her for a short time, Julian is rather smitten by Naomi though he is way, way too nervous to tell her.
He has named his Wyvern Zeke.
Childhood friend of Selana.

Like Justice I don't know anything about the setting but I think I might cook up a sheet. Thinking of joining as a thief.
Also do we need to use one of the images from those links or can we use different FE style images? The reason I'm asking is because a certain Deviant Art User (http://diethe.deviantart.com/gallery/) made some really good ones based off characters from several series. Obviously I wouldn't use any non-human ones or other ones that wouldn't be appropriate with the setting but there are several human ones that are really good.
Here is Alistair Theirin from Dragon Age for example.
Hidden:
So we have come to solve every squabble in the village personally? The last thing you never see
I was going to be a thief but since Kerr is going for that now I'll need to do more thinking. I'll be female, anyway; probably wont stray to far from my usual Alva-Rosa-Séverine archetype. Which reminds me: how is the Fire Emblem world when it comes to gender-roles? Would it be possible to have a female in the guard or will I have to be crafty about it?
@Velvet: Gender is fairly equal in Fire Emblem, though in the games typically only females can be Pegasus Knights or Wyvern Riders. I think that's absolutely silly (and males can be Wyvern Riders in the newest game, so yay!) so I just decided to lift gender restrictions.
Having a female in the guard wouldn't be a problem at all.
@Kerr: Kerr, I'm completely fine with that so long as it's a transparent PNG and in the style of the GBA Fire Emblems like Rekka no Ken or Sacred Stones (which is where the sprites I linked to are from). That way we can have a consistent art style! :D
Don't forget I can make color alterations. :D I'm doing this for a reason. I like visual representation and stuff in RPs and with the portraits I can make some killer things like character sheets in the original Fire Emblem style.

@TLD: That's Lucia from Radiant Dawn, who doesn't have a Sprite image since Radiant Dawn was a GameCube game.
Trust in Winter, however, for I have used my darling pixlr skills and the resources of deviantart users to whip one up.
Forgot to make it completely transparent but I can fix that if you like it.
@Derp: I'll get right to separating Gale's sprite, Derp. Just a question; how'd he come to serve Prince Isaac? Also, I believe you used the initial stats for the Mage, not the Dark Mage.
The DM's stat table is as such;

With greater resistance than a normal mage but slightly inferior magic power.

Grand Archmagus Edwin Oldenhaller - Age 102, Ruler of Arcymis. Due to his astronomical skill in magic, he is one of the most powerful beings in the world and is suspect to having sunk the city of Estralis (though those with knowledge in magic know that such a task is impossible for one man, even Oldenhaller).
Judge Magister Nolan Weiss - Age 33, A former street urchin who miraculously worked his ways into the graces of lawmen at a young age, Weiss climbed the ladder of the law until he made his way to the position of Judge Magister, leader of Indartis. Known to be a cold yet intelligent man.

Instead of jailing her, Steiner took the poor girl in and had her trained as a spy for the kingdom. She has been raised like a sister to Isaac for years. Kind yet mischievous, she is a recovering kleptomaniac who still falls prey to her old habit every now and then.
Kasumi - A myrmidon, age 22, a daughter of a friend of King Steiner's. A studious young girl who studied swordplay and tactics from a young age.

Kasumi is an awkward person with little skill in social situations, so she recluses herself when her presence is not needed.
Faye - A cavalier, age 42, a veteran knight of Esteos who has been Isaac's bodyguard since he was young. Calm, level-headed and cautious, she is a voice of reason on the battlefield who uses her experience to gauge the tide of battle.

Duncan - A priest of Naga, age 25, the Divine Dragon, who has been a servant of King Ghayle since he was a child. He travels with Isaac to keep him safe, to spread kindness and altruism, and to aid any other clergymen along the way.

Ririka - A mercenary, age 18, one of the soldiers provided by King Ghayle to help Isaac on his journey. Formerly a knight in training, after showing a complete ineptitude in riding horses she instead became a foot soldier. She is smitten with Isaac and tries her best to impress them with her skills with the sword. Known to be a fantastic cook.
Varos - A swordmaster, age 45, a veteran soldier in the service of King Ghayle since he was a young man. Though weary of the ways of war and ready to retire, he volunteered to be a part of Isaac's force to reclaim his former home. Though gruff and stoic, he has a soft spot for children.
Alora - A pegasus knight, age 20, one of the soldiers provided by King Ghayle and Ririka's best friend. Alora is a lover of nature and tends to her own gardens in her spare time. Alora tends to the army's animals, and is particularly protective of them. Contrary to Ririka, Alora is an awful cook.
