Clark Kallen and His Merry Band/Characters

The character sheet of the Fire Emblem based role-play, Clark Kallen and His Merry Band.

Clark Kallen
"I was going to let you live. Too bad, eh?"

A ruthless mercenary with an unknown origin, Clark is the leader of the titular merry band. Although he received his position at the beginning of the story, his actions and behavior suggest that he has had experience commanding men before. His swordsmanship is fearsome, but Clark keeps a variety of other tricks up his sleeve, and he has been known to employ magic vials and poison. His penchant for brutal victories has pushed him to the boundary of being a Villain Protagonist.

"Clark: You have a point Klebosk. She is just a wench. However...
 * Anti-Hero
 * Crazy Prepared
 * Cruel Mercy (Clark severely injures the arm Uko uses to fight, taking the morale out of the rebellion in Chapter Two.)
 * Designated Hero (Though people are becoming more aware of his darker tendencies.)
 * Heroes Want Redheads (His relationship with Serena seems to be going in this direction.)
 * Perfect Poison
 * Throwing Your Sword Always Works (Though it's only a diversion.)
 * Unflinching Walk (Well, technically flight.)
 * Villain Protagonist (Toes the line between Anti-Hero and this.)


 * slits girl's throat*

Clark: ...I would kill her. And now, I'm going to kill you."


 * What the Hell, Hero? (Somehow, Jael used this on him and it worked.)

Serena Einsheart
"We are Clark Kallen and his merry band of mercenaries! Surrender yourself now unless you wish to be blood upon my blade!"

An extremely enthusiastic girl wielding a sword she calls the Delphinus, Serena takes a happy-go-lucky approach to mercenary work. Has a strong sense of justice, but understands that survival comes first.


 * Badass Boast (See her quote; also counts as a Title Drop.)
 * Bunny Ears Lawyer (Rarely serious, but she can hold her own.)
 * Cute Bruiser
 * Genki Girl (And how.)
 * Heroic Sociopath (Borderline; she just enjoys her job.)

Weyler Ulbran
"Money's a nice incentive, but I consider you enough of a friend to go without it."

A silver-haired mage with incredible control over all branches of magic, Weyler is the team's primary offensive magic-user, though he has been know to heal as well. Weyler is less concerned about how the part goes about doing their jobs, as long as it is for a good cause.


 * Fire, Ice, Lightning (Weyler quickly progresses to being able to use all three types of magic.)
 * Squishy Wizard (Averted.)
 * Statistically speaking, Weyler has more physical defense than half the cast.
 * Barrier Warrior (His special skill, Wonderwall, grants him this ability.)

Mikalas "Myke" Ienthi
''Alright, I guess you do have a right to know. I'll warn you now, though, it's not the most believable of stories. I'm not from Elibe, and neither is the man I'm after. For that matter, neither are Lilane and Emysia. We're all from another world- we used to call it Langras."''

A young swordsman from another world called Langras, who arrived in Elibe while trying to escape the clutches of the Graael Order. He chanced upon the band while they were on their first job, and since worming his way into the group has become a valued member; his age being somewhat offset by prodigious skills (though how these skills were accquired is unknown; he seems to have lived a relatively peaceful life in the time between his flight from Langras and joining the band).


 * Chaotic Good
 * Curb Stomp Battle (Against Alan in Chapter Six. Vassarin didn't put up a big fight in Chapter Four, either.)
 * And now on the receiving end of one, courtesy of Kajan.
 * Doomed Hometown (It was doomed two years ago.)
 * Heroes Prefer Swords
 * Kid Hero (One of the older examples, though a fair bit mature than most.)
 * Knight in Shining Armour
 * Leave Him to Me (Against Vassarin.)
 * No Name Given (Only ever referred to as Myke, outside of one conversation he wasn't in. Word of God is the only source of his surname.)
 * The Hero (Particularly for the Langras Four Person Band.)
 * Worthy Opponent (To some, notably Ognus.)

Lilane Radurni
"Also, [this RP] involves me commiting the grave sin of Lilane actually interacting with someone, so if I disappear I was murdered for it. =\"
 * The Chick (Particularly for the Langras Four Person Band.)
 * Damsel in Distress (Very initially, though the rescue is offscreen.)
 * Doomed Hometown (It was doomed two years ago.)
 * Fragile Speedster/Glass Cannon (Statistically Speaking, though too much of a pacifist to put it to use.)
 * Healing Hands
 * No Name Given (Again, the surname is purely Word of God.)
 * Satellite Character (Orbiting Myke.)
 * Lampshaded in some of the real Tookie's OOC comments.


 * White Magician Girl (In alleged personality, to Emysia's Black Magician Girl.)

Emysia Radurni

 * Black Magician Girl (to Lilane's White Magician Girl.)
 * Defector From Decadence (Defected from the Graael Order for Lilane's sake.)
 * Doomed Hometown (It was doomed two years ago.)
 * The Lancer/The Smart Guy (For the Langras Four Person Band, anyway.)
 * Oh God, Did She Just Hear That? (Invoked this in Tookie.)

Michael "Tookie" Hamilton
"You can call me Tookie, since everybody else does. If that sounds as ridiculous to you as it does to me, my real name is Michael."

An enigma; a boy from a world completely different to Elibe and Langras, though seeming to have a role to play in their futures. He enlisted with the group rather unofficially, first fighting alongside them during Myke's assault on the Graael Order's fledgeling Elibe base, where the Order soon saw his more malicious side. Staying with the mercenaries due to what seemed to be his role, he's established himself as... well, not the nicest of people most of the time.


 * An Axe to Grind (At the moment; he looks set to drop this in favour of a BFS though.)
 * Author Avatar/Write Who You Know (A fairly shameless one on the real Tookie's part. However, he was initially just going to be a Joke Character on the battling and pvp side of the site for the real Tookie's amusement, but got worked into the roleplay anyway.)
 * Berserk Button (Innocents. Get innocent people caught up in the fighting, and he will not be happy. Hasn't yet descended into Unstoppable Rage, though.)
 * Don't interrupt his sleep, either.
 * The Big Guy (Particularly for the Langras Four Person Band, despite not being from Langras. A Big Guy in general, as well.)
 * Curb Stomp Battle (Usually on the receiving end.)
 * Determinator (A fledgeling one, as noted by Griez.)
 * Fish Out of Temporal Water (A rare example of the fish trying to blend in.)
 * Genre Savvy ( Whether this extends to other areas is unknown as of yet.)
 * Recent events have his knowledge of Fire Emblem coming into play enough to know
 * Godwin's Law (He mentally invokes it.)
 * Heroes Prefer Swords (He looks likely to fall into this soon, though how heroic he is at the moment is debatable.)
 * Heroic Sociopath (Paraphrases of his parts in Chapters 4 to 6: "Hey, you got blood on my shirt! Die!" "Get up, you idiot! *Groin Attack*" "... Stop bleeding on the floor, dammit!".
 * Rather jarring, when you consider he's a fairly nice guy outside of fights, and even wanted to know why he was carving a path through the Graael Order once all was said and done.
 * Idiot Hero (When he's not just being a sociopath, he has his heroic moments... sometimes. Sadly, when it comes to anything involving knowledge of Elibian customs and their way of life (unless it's something he would remember from the games), he comes off as a bit silly.)
 * Kid Hero (Though how far you use the term "Hero" is currently up for debate.)
 * Oh God, Did She Just Hear That? (Emysia invokes this in him.)
 * Oh Crap (Between Boar and, this is becoming his favourite phrase.)
 * No Name Given (Like Myke, only referred to within the group as Tookie, though the villains all seem to know him by his real name.)
 * Oh Crap (Between Boar and, this is becoming his favourite phrase.)
 * No Name Given (Like Myke, only referred to within the group as Tookie, though the villains all seem to know him by his real name.)

XEQ
A towering figure clothed in black and shrouded in mystery, XEQ has proved time and time again on the battlefield that he is a valuable asset to the team. Unfortunately, off the battlefield, his actions are...less than commendable. His complete silence makes it hard to figure out what he's thinking.


 * Blood Knight
 * Cold Sniper
 * Nigh Invulnerability
 * Twang! "Hello."
 * Twang! "Hello."

Griez Rothelmu

 * An Axe to Grind (His weapon of choice)
 * The Big Guy (Though not in a Five-Man Band.)
 * Jerkass Face Turn
 * Mighty Glacier
 * Sarcastic Devotee/Hypercompetent Sidekick (Was these to Van.)
 * Spikes of Villainy (Inverted.)

Lachelle Clament

 * Shock and Awe

Van Urustwhil

 * Blade On a Stick (His weapon of choice.)
 * Big No (Mental big "FUUUUUUUUUUU--", on realising just who Vergant is.)
 * Jerkass
 * Money, Dear Boy (Why he does anything.)

Relus Thersiss

 * Blow You Away
 * Friendly Enemy/Punch Clock Villain (He's only been doing his job as part of the Order, and is genuinely concerned about Myke and the band.

Byron Callahan

 * An Axe to Grind
 * Big Eater (He's constantly eating rolls.)
 * Disproportionate Retribution
 * Team Dad
 * The Rival (For Clark.)

Ognus Ecker

 * Knife Nut (He juggles them in battle.)
 * Let's Fight Like Gentlemen (In Chapter Eight.)
 * Weak but Skilled (Without his personal weapon, he's not very strong.)
 * Worthy Opponent (To Myke.)

Jane Falaxis

 * Black Magician Girl
 * Kill It With Fire
 * Taken up to eleven in Chapter Eight, when she
 * Psycho for Hire
 * It's fairly mild at first...but then Chapter Eight happened...

Lou Brace

 * Only Sane Man (Seems to be this for the Fury.)

Alice West

 * Smitten Teenage Girl (With an ever-changing target, to boot. So far we've seen Lou and Brannan, with possible others.)
 * Team Mom (Odd in that she's the youngest.)

Menace

 * The Brute

Recens Simetra

 * Friendly Sniper
 * Nigh Invulnerability (Thanks to his Healing Factor, that is.)
 * Training From Hell (Recens can recover from any injury, but the pain can still distract him. To fix this, he spends his mornings repeatedly breaking his bones until his pain receptors can barely function.)

Brannan De Caliphar
"I don't think it's unreasonable for someone to enjoy himself here and there in a profession of his choosing."

Standing taller than all of the cast but XEQ, Brannan is an intimidating man with swordsmanship to match. He fled to Karaisali after being wrongly accused of rape and murder, and has joined the ranks of the Fury as its newest member. His fighting style is a mixed bag of techniques that are both unpredictable and extremely effective. This extends into his personality, as Brannan is very pragmatic and efficient.


 * Clear My Name
 * Dual-Wielding
 * Hero Antagonist/Villain Protagonist (The story could just as easily be told from his point of view instead of Clark's. By the same token, however, Brannan does have a bit of a cruel streak, though he's not quite as unrestrained as Clark or as sadistic as Jane.)
 * Not So Different (Invokes this on Recens.)
 * Amusingly, there are parallels that can be drawn between Brannan and Clark.
 * Warrior Therapist

Alkaan

 * Dark Is Edgy
 * My God, What Have I Done? (Very recently.)

Vassarin

 * The Brute
 * Dual Boss (Chapter 4, with Relus.)
 * Duel Boss (Sort of, against Myke.)
 * Leave Him to Me (Against Myke.)
 * You Doomed My Hometown (Myke, again.)

Minervra

 * An Ice Person
 * Spell My Name With an "S"

Lucialde

 * Complete Monster (As mentioned by Lily.)
 * Dark Is Edgy ( Much  worse than Alkaan.)

Lily Klavine
A girl from another world, hinted to be the same world as Tookie, she works with the Graael Order as per her belief that if they succeed she gets to return home, and it is through them she first met Tookie. She fought him initially due to her belief that he was her enemy by association, though continuing the fight due to her anger at his attitude to the whole thing. She is Lucialde's assistant for now, though she was very disgusted when she found out exactly what he had in mind.


 * My Organization Right Or Wrong

Jael
"I need to get out of Karaisali. Nothing good happens here."

A girl with a mallet and a chip on her shoulder, Jael holds the key to XEQ's origins and seems hell-bent on destroying him.


 * Best Served Cold
 * Drop the Hammer
 * Hero Antagonist (XEQ is only the protagonist because it was a character first and is the one that's in the Merry Band itself.)
