I think specifically it is a giantitp forum emblem character. And those games are fantastic, though notorious for their long waiting lists. (I'm lucky enough to be in the oldest running one currently, and the lord in another. Would probably still be on the waiting list for the first one if it weren't for the fact I rolled a healer. )

I've just done this to help me keep track of time in a game I'm running and I thought that maybe some people here would find it useful, so I'll just leave this here. Peace.

Ooh Fire Emblem. Love the series. Not really into the games here on GitP though. Not really sure why, but it doesn't quite interest me...

Anyway, the important thing is that 4 years ago, Clive didn't have Peacemaker yet, but now when he returns he does, so there might be some sort of resonance between her and Mystletinn.
Ok, thank you for telling me!

In this game a special character is made by the player, so it is copy of such a character.

This is Eris:

What, you thought I was a flat character?

In all seriousness, I'm a big fan of the series. It's not the only strategy game I enjoy; Jagged Alliance 2 and Warcraft 3 for example. I wish I could play Alpha Centauri though. I've heard that game is awesome.

Hell yes Jagged Alliance 2.

Also, you say you want to play Alpha Centauri?

If you were more thinking 'why is Hakuhale going to approach her in the first place', her having a half-Sireni as a member of her crew should probably be enough to indicate that she's unlikely to mind Driftfolk too much, and Leshi could easily be out on deck at a time when she could be seen by Hakuhale. Or someone from the ship could approach her.
If you could go ahead and have someone approach her, that would be a good way to start a scene I think.

As for Jagged Alliance 2, I should get to finish that sometime. Got 3 towns left to retake (including Meduna) and I've got my mercenaries all geared for it. (especially my favorite, Scope) Just all a matter of getting it done.

...DarkDM, did you ever take a look at the 1.13 'version' (really a mod) of JA2? I have yet to play that yet because I was recommended to play through the vanilla (1.12) version first. If you did, I was wondering you opinion on it.

If I can get my character done in time (oh writer's block; you haunt me so ) then I would probably enjoy coming in. Of course a mercenary like my own would need an incentive to join in unless it is a critical thing.

Strategy Games aren't really my suit... (I happen to hate anything which requires me to use guns and doesn't have an auto-lock system of sorts, the only exception I've found is Team Fortress 2 just for it's sheer silliness. A lot of thinking and split-second decision making to do, resource management, army management, ect. ect. I tried, oh I tried, but I could never get my head wrapped around it all. I liked the worlds they lobbed me into, but I just couldn't get into the gameplay.

No, I'm definitely more of the "playing as a single person" kind of strategy. League of Legends, for instance. (Ironically, League has a lot of resource management and strategy involved, and for a while I suffered under terrible gameplay, but now I really enjoy the hell out of it). Yet, interestingly enough, I'm not super fond of MMO's. I've run around in Guild Wars, and it was fun up to a point, and I ran around in WoW, which was fun until the repetitiveness just drove me bored, to be all frank and honest. I have some hope for Guild Wars 2 (been watching a friend of mine play on his beta, looks pretty cool).

Oh, and DM: RESPOND TO LUCREZIA. D:

She wouldn't let herself get Drunk, but she'll definitely take a few swigs from the bottle (call her the semi-sober one who makes sure they all get back on the ship).

A) Giant sea monster attack. Cannons fire at the beast's coils while daring heroes stab at the eyes of the beast!

B) A bar fight get's out of hand. Really out of hand.

C) A ship needs a crew and fast! No one is sure why but the pay is suspiciously less than bad and anyone who kills someone already signed on is instantly hired.

Yes these all lead to fairly predictable hack and slashes. There's been plenty of courtly intrigue in the last game. Let's crack some skulls!

Good! I love smashing the heads of evildoers in. So much more fun than playing as a villain.

Does Jon have his own ship? If not, Option C might be an interesting way to get one.
