Fire Emblem: You Choose the Characters! Prologue Recap and Chapter 1: The Battle Begins



Well the prologue went as expected. I beat the two enemies, got a healing item, and got a level for Ike. Whoo.

Stats:
Ike: lvl2 ranger

Hp20, Str 6, Mag1, Skl 6, Spd8, Luck 6, Def 5, Res 0



The first real chapter of the game:



























First off, sorry in advance for the crappy quality of the picture. This really was the best I could find.
The blue dots are us and the red dots are the bad guys. The big dots indicate the position of both Ike and the enemy boss.

Description: It's your first mission as a merc. The Enemy does outnumber me 2 to 1 so some planing is necessary. As long as I don't charge headlong into the fray I should be able to get everyone a few good levels and win without too many problems. I also need to stop by the top left house and the bottom right house to get the goodies they want to give me for saving the village. However, if I am slow about it, the houses will be burned to the ground by the bad guys. I should be fine though.

New characters:

Boyd, the green haired fighter
Class: fighter (promotes to warrior)



The first of the green haired brother trio. Boyd is a headstrong guy with a knack for getting into situations by not thinking about it before hand. Despite this, he is a dependable guy when things get tough. He is also one of the few axe wielders you get in the game so that is a plus.

Stat wise he is fairly focused on his Hp and strength. Most of his other stats are a fair bit lower in comparison bar his above average speed. I normally don't care as much for fighters but, Boyd is an exception to this rule. He normally turns out pretty good and is quite durable. He also has a special ability he can do with his brothers if they all get high enough in level and get into a certain formation around an enemy.

Starting stats: lvl2
Hp30, Str7, Mag0, Skl4, Spd6, Luck4, Def5, Res0.




Skills: Tempest (hard to explain, it basically doubles bonuses and penalties gotten from the tide of  battle)   

Oscar, the green knight
Class: Lance Knight (promotes to paladin)
The second of the green haired brother trio. Oscar is a caring man who never shows his eyes for some reason. No one ever mentions he does nothing but squint. That aside he is a capable fighter with a lance and an excellent cook. 

Statwise, he is quite balanced. There really is no high or low point (bar magic) in his stats, he is just balanced. This is both a blessing and a curse as I have had both amazing and terrible Oscar's in back to back runs. More often than not he just ends up above average though. As said with Boyd, he is also required for the special ability of the three brothers.

Starting stats: lvl3
  
Hp26, Str 6, Mag 1, Skl 6, Spd 7, Luck5, Def 8, Res0.

Titania, the woman with an axe 
Class: Paladin

The paladin you get to start most fire emblem games with. As you might expect, Titania is a veteran of the mercenary group. She is the deputy commander in fact! As such she is an excellent fighter with both an axe and with a lance. She has a caring, maternal personality, and is secrectly in love somewhat with Greil though no one knows it. 

Stat wise she seems almost godlike compared to the people you get at the same time, able to obliterate the first several chapters of the game without even breaking a sweat. This will not last though as she gets very little exp compared to the rest of the group from kills. Also her stats seem less impressive when you finally get around to promoting your other units. That being said, she is a great meat shield and her growths are pretty good once the enemy units start dropping more experience. So she is good, you just need to use her in moderation.

Starting stats: lvl 1
   
Hp33, Str12, Mag4, Skl 13, Spd14, Luck11, Def 11, Res 7.

Skills: counter (She randomly deals half the amount of damage she took from an enemy attack sometimes)
