This is a side story game for my first Fire Emblem on Forums, Magi Wars from the perspective of the country of Astrasia slightly before Magi Wars begins. The two games won't interact with each other aside from minor references. Additionally, we'll be using GBA maps so if you want to make a custom map sprite don't make it Thracian style.

Bio:
 Athros  was both born in Astrasia and also chose to start his career there; curiously enough as a mercenary instead of a soldier, though one of odd reputation and behavior. While willing to take most offered jobs, he claims that his objective isn't gaining money, but instead assisting a Goddess, or even that she decided he should help them. He is often found wearing a golden armor and referring to himself as a knight despite his sellsword status and reputation for sarcasm and laughing at people's problems. He gained the title "the Kind" not due to kindness or eagerness in assisting others, but as a sarcastic jab at his despicable behavior. Athros gladly embraces his moniker, removing the sarcastic part and claiming to be the "kind hand for those who are lost and looking for assistance".
 Unfortunately the title is misleading and induces some into thinking he's a good man. He often tries to fool others to get what he needs, or turns his back on those who aren't useful anymore, as in his mind the only people he should interact with are followers of Goddess Ashara. Athros isn't exactly a follower of all of Astrasia's ideals, showing fanaticism towards Ashara, the Goddess alone and truly believing she chose him to purify Earth of its demons. Unfortunately Athros has a very twisted vision of what or who are those demons; consequently anything or anyone trying to stop him will be considered a demon or a traitor.
 Craziness aside, he gets the job done. That's the only thing that matters when hiring a mercenary, right? And with Emperor seeking for soldiers Athros saw this as the perfect opportunity both to possibly earn respect and perhaps turn into an actual knight instead of pretending to be one. While that meant giving up on his old ways as a sellsword, that wasn't going to stop him from retaining the rest of his qualities.

Bio: Davor Dragic, is a swordsman, notably nimble and lethally precise but about as tough as an eggshell. Annette Beyersdorf is a knight, a shieldbearer who protects her comrades with ardor and success but who has a lot of trouble actually harming her opponents in response. Though each was a natural soldier from the outset, they were beset by their flaws and struggled to succeed... until they were placed in the same unit. There, they complemented each other, and struggling and knife's-edge military performance became a competent duo -- Davor and Annette went from nobody to quite a few people's nightmares, and though the two never became national heroes they are commendable in their combat together. They also found that they completed each other off of the battlefield, and the two became inseparable, then lovers, then wed, and then had Kristijan. Though they never plainly left the Astasian army, raising a child necessitated some shaky combat-readiness.

Thankfully for Kristijan, this meant they they were often there to raise him, and to speak to him, and as his parents had very much had their lives improved by their tenure as soldiers (a tenure spent usually stomping out other problems than rebellions), the stories they told him of their time in the military were rather overwhelmingly positive, often with the more negative bits cut out. In addition to that, little Kristijan was surrounded by loyal members of the empire, who told him all of the things that the empire boasted of, and all that it claimed to represent, and he was fascinated. Astasia, clearly, was a wonderful place, with a noble military who upheld its glory. What a wonderful place, what a wonderful profession...!

With his fascination with Astasia's military and his parents' positive experience in it quite naturally came Kristijan being groomed for the military, the starry-eyed boy seeming to have his mother's sturdiness and his father's aptitude for the sword, things he honed as he grew into a man. When he was declared old enough to join the Astasian military, Kristijan leaped at the chance, bringing a boundless energy and optimism to training... and through it, as that was far from enough to dampen the young man's spirits. Now that he's completed his training, Kristijan is striking out to begin his real military career -- a process that will provide the real test of his character.

Bio:  As long as there has been war, there has been healers that patch up the fighters. More economically viable and all that. Hallbjorn is, reluctantly, one of those people. From a young age he showed some aptitude for taking care of others, standing up against bullies, patching up small animals that he found injured, and taking care of his family members when they fell sick. It's little wonder that his family pushed him to begin training as a healer at the temple of Doireann. He reluctantly went along with it out of a sense of duty to them. He left to join the military as soon as he could use a healing staff with a heart full of anger and a head full of resignation.

Lovingly raised by his parents and siblings, Malthe learned the basics of the art of war from an early age and inured in the culture of loyalty typically known of Astrasians.

Enlisting at 17; with a horse gifted to him by his parents, Malthe enlisted in Astrasia's military as a cavalryman. The two years of training has forged him into a competent fighter and rider, though he struggles with doing both at the same time. A loyal soldier through and through, the whispers of another rebellion has Malthe eager and confident to prove his worth to empire and emperor.

Bio:
Alessa was born as the only daughter under a noble blacksmith heritage in service to the Empire--expectant of a boy to continue the noble line, it was a surprise that her father was the more caring and honorable person in comparison to her mother, who at first distanced herself and grew sullen, but soon recovered. Growing up, she was treated as neither the ways of boy nor girl, but given both freedom under guidance to choose her own path in life; she worked as an apprentice under her father, and with his caring guidance and firm hand in tutelage, grew to be an astute smith in her own right. In her area, she challenged the local stereotype of expert smiths only beheld to one lineage or another.

Her family was in service to the local military, alongside the Imperial garrison in providing for both the townspeople and their supplies. A regular stream of tools were needed--and exported--with little time given to the regulation of training and conscription. It was a local law that people of the house and home, foremost those that bear the family lineage in any position of authority, be skilled to defend and serve in the name of the Empire if need be: Alessa was neither skilled in handling weapons in battle, but skilled in shaping and using their many other utilities, and what she lacked in strength, she made up for in endurance and stamina. Given those circumstances, Alessa was forced (by choice, however) to act and train herself amidst a demanding environment, balancing her workload at the forge with the needs of her family and community.

When the time came, she bid her family farewell, took up the family coat of arms (as literal as it was, being her suit of armor in turn), and moved out to make her next few years in the military worthwhile. No formalized training other than that of knowing how to wield the most appropriate weapon for those untrained, her spirit and her optimism (alongside her attitude) are the best she could offer in service of the Empire--her life at the forge sheltering her from the reality of the big picture.

Bio: Kard was a street urchin as far back as he could remember. Unable to remember who his parents were or what they did, Kard made his living on the mean streets of Astrasian cities. Stealing and fighting for his food, Kard became known among other children in the area, and as he grew older became a prominent enforcer among one of the many gangs that riddled the streets. As he grew older, the fights of the gutter grew ever more deadly, and after most of his gang was murdered by a rival group, he was forced to flee to a neighboring city. There, he was set upon by a band of local thugs, out to establish their own authority to any newcomers they would come across. Kard fought with all his heart, but four against one is terrible odds regardless of how you examine the circumstances. He was saved at the last minute by an Astrasian sergeant who had been observing the fight, and intervened before Kard could be killed. His own unit lacked a certain ferocity, and he was confident that Kard could bring that missing element to his unit. Kard, being without any other connections and in a new city, took him up on his offer and joined the Astrasian military.

Kard has difficulty with discipline and tact from time to time, but is fiercely loyal to the Astrasian military (if not the actual country or its ruler) for pulling him out of the dirt and making him the man he is today. Kard hopes one day to lead his own regiment of men in service of the Astrasian military.

Bio: Sverrand was the son of Steirne Brenyron, a highly respected commander in the Astrasian military. He father raised him to possess a hearty sense of discipline and humility that was only increased by Astrasia's militaristic nature. When he was just a few years short of being allowed to join the military himself, Steirne was sent away on a long campaign very far away. Sverrand didn't miss his father very much. He would be back; he always came back.

One week before Sverrand was to come of age, he received a letter informing him of his father's death. This only hardened the young man's resolve to prove himself just as great a soldier as his father was, although it did result in him becoming a little less talkative than normal. But that was fine. Sverrand learned soon after entering the Astrasian military that you didn't have to talk much to be a great soldier: you just had to follow orders.

Now with Minirrand!
