+1 Flame Champion
Contact: Samu#6300 on Discord, personal plurk at
Pronouns: He/Him
Tell us about yourself: I'm an autistic, married, mid-30s Canadian, with three fatass cats who slings coffee and donuts for a living. I mostly tag later in the evening as I work most days, currently afternoons and early evenings (my shifts end anywhere from 6PM to 8PM EST, with my weekends off) but I'm currently still near the start of a week long mental health break so I have the week ahead and next weekend with no obligations on my time. I also like videogames, superhero media, historical non-fiction (especially Norse/Viking history), and generally prefer a prose style in RPing. I tried the brackets style but it's not for me, but feel free not to match if you don't wish to, I'm easy like Sundee morn. You may have also noticed I don't go in for brevity much, ah-ha.
Character Name & Journal: Chris Lightfellow at
Tell us about them: Chris is the newly-appointed Captain of the Zexen Knights and even more recently the second Flame Champion who just led a resurgent Fire Bringer army consisting of her own countrymen, the Grassland clans, mercenaries, and other assorted destined types into repelling an invasion from the local theocracy and also preventing a splinter group from blowing up a huge chunk of the continent. She's just coming from the post-game and is still grappling with a lot of things like her newfound immortality as a True Rune bearer and how best to continue to try bridging the gap between Zexen and the Grasslands, so all this is really something she doesn't need right now. Her familiar in Avalon is a Holly Elf, which is a fairy in a holly-themed dress. This is the best image I got.
Initial Ideas: I'm happy with keeping all of my TDM threads canon to give her a leg up on CR, and she's definitely going to be keeping an eye on Yuber, who was a member of that splinter group I mentioned above and is also here. She's also going to apply herself rather studiously to her magic studies (and won't be as bad at it in the game proper as she was struggling in some of her TDM threads) because Chris is actually quite bad at magic in-game, especially if you don't give her the True Water Rune which she's somewhat okay with. She'll also probably be pursuing a knighthood and trying to advance herself that way. Maybe a noble title later on, but for now I think she'll focus on what she knows and prefers.
Favorite Food: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I think despite her noble upbringing at heart she's sort of a meat and potatoes soul, but as long as it's hot and filling she'll be a happy camper. She works in the military, she's trained to eat whatever you put in front of her because you never know when your next meal is coming during a campaign.
Anything else: I don't have a permissions post set up, but if you're unsure feel free to slide me a PM, though in fights I don't mind her getting dinged up at all as long as it's not too serious (ask me about that first!). I love shitposts and partake of them frequently, so give me all you got and I shall do the same!

Me too! I had already resolved to app Chris this round and I was fully expecting to be an LCW about it. I am pleasantly surprised to have been wrong. I hope we see more of them! :D

Would you prefer Yuber here remember her as True Fire or True Water?
no subject
As to your other question, I think True Fire is probably the easiest option, yeah?

My name's Ax, and I've got Claire Redfield here from the Resident Evil 2 remake. And also Tsuyu Asui from My Hero Academia. I feel like she and Claire would probably get along.

For cliff's notes, she's nice? mostly. Bit of a wild-child, extremely helpful, with strong protective instincts, and a survivor's attitude. Spent a night in zombie hell, walked out of it covered in the blood of everything that got between her and the kid she decided to protect. She's been aiming for knighthood, too, which feels like common ground, too?

Oh wow, there's a name I haven't heard in ages.Welcome to the game, Samu! I'm Athena, playing Hendrik from Dragon Quest XI. We played in a LJ Suikoden game ages ago, so this feels like a really small world moment.
Looking forward to seeing Chris around. Should be fun to see how she handles the idea of knighthood in a totally different world.
no subject
Well, not answering to a bunch of merchants is already putting Avalon ahead, but we'll see where it goes. I'd enjoy her bumping into Hendrik as well. I know absolutely nothing about Dragon Quest but I've never let a lack of knowledge about anything stop me.
Great to see you again!

Hendrik's a dutiful and kind soul who is ... not terribly observant. He's also a knight and general, though he doesn't have any of his armor in Avalon at the moment. I'm sure they'll get along just fine!

That said, hello! I'm the surprise Caesar out of left field and I'm excited to see other Suikodens around! I kind of just went with a TDM option that was assuming "they've already run into each other". Do we want to keep with already knowing the other is here or still have a first run-in thread somewhere?
no subject
If you'd be so kind, I think that'd be easiest, yeah. And hello! I was so glad to see a Caesar pop up. An actual bumping into each other thread would be fun to thread out, especially since her CR with Yuber is being reset too. So why not do that for these two as well?
I was a Caesar player myself once upon a time in the bad old days of LJ. This minor Suikoden renaissance we're having is so very cool. :D
no subject
And no problem. I figure Caesar would treat all FCs about the same, though he may be ruder about her low magic skills than he might be with the others lol. That's just how he be, right?

I played Suikoden 1, 2, 4 and Tierkreis to death but never touched 3 because ahahaha that EU release date, right? I tried 5 recently but apparently my PS2 controller is broke.
no subject
That's a shame! Both about the release date and your controller, HOWEVER, if you have a PS3 available, I'm pretty sure the first three games at least are on the PSN. I replayed Suikoden III myself a few years ago that way!
no subject
I've always liked Chris and her armour design is on point. It should be good seeing what comes of having her here!

Also if you would like to throw Balthier at her, by all means be my guest. She's already dealt with one charming rogue type after all. XD
