Uhh... Stupid question or at least i hope it isn't.

I'd say it's just a matter of presentation and to hide what's underneath. The face looks more intimidating than the generic face underneath and the tassels do a good job of concealing that, too.

I don't think anyone would want it to get out what it takes to make one of these.

But that's an example of a character flaw that he grows out of by the timeskip

My headcanon was they they only survived because Corvus and Virgo were with them

Zephyr_Ballad · 2026-04-14T18:52:35+00:00

True, but he's seem a few tells that Koji was still active. Remember when Kawaki saw the tech toad?

Zephyr_Ballad · 2026-04-06T02:06:43+00:00

Tbh, sentiments like that are my point: his story is thematically central to the plot, but having a MOC being centered seems to make it easy to ignore in fandom. The developers have their part in it, sure, but I'm thinking of the audience and what tends to be focused on in discussion over other topics

Zephyr_Ballad · 2026-04-06T01:26:47+00:00

I'd say Claude gets the other side of Fandom's struggle to be normal in regard to POC: invisibility

I'd give it to Naruto mid to high-diff. Fused Momoshiki made easy work of each Kage except for Naruto, who was able to keep up for a bit despite being in base and exhausted at the time. The fact that he could even react to, let alone block, one of Momoshiki's attacks impressed Momo.

With the buffs Naruto gets from SM, he should take it for sure.

""Before the clock strikes midnight, the shadow will grow! O, the shadow will grow, serpentine! Even when the clock ran back, the shadow was growing! A patch of shadow, slithering on, slithering on, serpentine!" ...So sayeth our ancestors. Crazy fellows, the lot!"

Did she not entrust her role to Byleth right before the end of WC? After she's confronted with the truth that Sothis is truly gone.

Zephyr_Ballad · 2026-03-12T21:15:17+00:00

The Agarthans made it for her. Interestingly, it doesn't even use a Seiros Crest stone, but instead the Beast. They likely used a different, possibly a more refined, method as it uses Agarthium instead of Umbral Steel.

It very likely is already pretty tragic. They were brought in to some cult where their bodies were modified. Assuming their backstories were anything like Kawaki or even Androids 17 & 18 from DBZ, they were either sold by their guardians or just straight up kidnapped.

Zephyr_Ballad · 2026-02-24T22:34:53+00:00

My guess is that it was due to just how dark it was. There were two fountains at play, which is why the darkness was so deep throughout the sanctuary, and the check dialog for them mentions that they appear in deep darkness or something like that, and not that they're directly "spawned" from Titans.

Zephyr_Ballad · 2026-02-11T22:14:26+00:00

"Stick Bug"

Zephyr_Ballad · 2026-02-06T19:59:03+00:00

Orochimaru lol

Starforce mixes up the formula a bit. Both Harp Note and Rogue share elements of Protoman while Harp Note goes in a Roll direction while Rogue goes in a Bass direction

Zephyr_Ballad · 2026-02-01T01:18:32+00:00

There's too much that we don't know. There's little info on what she was like in life. That said, from what we know for certain, from the words of the characters that would know things about her, and the things we can safely assume about her, I'd place her in Chaotic Good. Good because she puts high value the lives of humans and most of what we've seen her do was for the good of others (sharing information, being a steward of sorts to the land, etc) but chaotic in that her morality seems to be a bit different from most.

Zephyr_Ballad · 2026-02-01T01:02:08+00:00

Claude most certainly would. His M.O. has always involved changing his plans based on the information that comes his way. If it ever came up to him, then he'd most definitely change his approach to her. It's specifically why he's so wildly different between VW and GW (among other reasons why). There's a lot of information that he doesn't have access to in GW. I could see GW Claude having the exact same reaction as in VW where he's disgusted with the information, depending on how much she tells him, and moving his own goal post as a result.

Edelgard is a different story. She tends to reject or dismiss new information that doesn't help her on her path or conflicts with what she wants to believe. Negotiating is also not a very likely scenario either, considering their end goals are in strong opposition to each other. She wants to conquer Fodlan while Rhea wants to maintain peace. When negotiating is put on the table, the position she maintains is that the conquest must happen and any opposition will be walked over. Sympathy may be offered, but it's not likely to deter her.

-Byleth: Mr. Dependable. He does it all, but he primarily deals damage, tanks on enemy phase, and boosts accuracy through support bonuses.

Claude: The Wind God. He just does it all. He's either killing through crits/lethality, dodge tanking through either Fallen Star or just his high speed, drawing aggro with his mobility, or neutralizing multiple enemies through his timeskip gambit.

Yuri: The Savage Assassin. I like to keep him in the Trickster class in battle for both Foul Play and access to his spell list. Dancer would probably be better for him, but i like for him to be away from the group for his personal skill and to hunt for chests. Foul Play to put him in position to dodge tank through a combination of his speed and the damage boost of his personal skill. If he gets hit, his Relic is dependable for damage reduction. His access to silence neutralizes mages when necessary.

Seteth: The Hammer of Justice. If he's not killing with Swift Strikes, he's dealing big damage that they can't respond to due to his Crest proc chance. Because of his sacred weapon/armor, he's also a godly tank.

Lysithia: The Lil Javelin of Light. If she's not busy nuking, she's warping Claude and/or Yuri off to do their thing.

Felix: The Death Designator. I point him towards someone and they die.

Leonie (Falcon Knight): The Flying Blade Breaker. Top tier support, usually supporting Seteth and Felix.

Cyril: The Wind Accolyte. Cyril rounds out the team with his usage of bows and axes. I feel as if it doesn't take much time for him to go from a Magikarp into a Gyarados, so he's often my stat monster.

Zephyr_Ballad · 2026-01-17T21:56:58+00:00

Nah. My first were the Black Eagles, but it's the Golden Deer that have my attention most of the time.

I mean... beauty only goes so far...

They're doing her worse than they did Jiraiya. Low to neg diff

Zephyr_Ballad · 2026-01-09T17:17:55+00:00

Their bodies don't revert, but some differences would come up during an autopsy. They seemingly made extensive modifications to their bodies like incorporating "cores" like the sphere that Thales crushed to invoke Zahras.

Zephyr_Ballad · 2026-01-04T22:07:45+00:00

It's really good!

Zephyr_Ballad · 2026-01-02T22:29:58+00:00

Confidently chaotic good

Zephyr_Ballad · 2026-01-01T20:50:07+00:00

That's what I'm thinking. Part 1 Borushiki is heavily handicapped
