REWARDS
If the scenario of the conversation allows for it, a unit or both units involved may receive a permanent increase in weapon rank, an item, a skill, or a permanent increase in a Rolling Stat or Non-Rolling Stat. These are on a case by case basis, and it can’t just be a random reward. Not every support conversation requires a reward in this manner, but it does make sense for some. If you’re unsure about whether or not a conversation you’re putting together deserves a reward, or if the reward you’ve selected is appropriate, then hit up the blazed one and he shall pass judgment. There are some ground rules for the 4 types of reward to keep in mind.
- Weapon Ranks: A weapon rank can only be increased once per weapon type via support conversations. For instance, you are allowed to raise a character’s Sword rank in one conversation, and their Anima rank in another conversation. However, you cannot raise their Sword rank in one conversation with one character and again with another character.
- Items: Items must be ran by the blazed one first because there are some items that are for later in the game that I don’t necessarily want to give anyone access to yet. In addition to receiving my permission, the item must be involved in the conversation in some capacity.
- Skills: Skills can only be shared between two units at A, A+, or S rank relationships. Unlike many of the other rewards, the scenario for this one doesn’t have to be about the characters teaching each other their skills, because that would make every upper level conversation boring and the same. Only one skill can be traded between any two characters and they must be agreed upon by both players.
- Rolling Stats: The maximum increase in any of the 6 rolling stats (ACC, EVA, CRIT, LUCK, ASS, BLOK) you're allowed to grant your partner is 5%. This will be reflected in their stats with a (*).
HOW TO SET UP A SUPPORT CONVERSATION
A conversation can happen at any time other than a battle taking place in the Main Thread. They're a good way to keep the RP alive while waiting for others to post. Seriously, if the main thread is ever slowed down by someone's real life circumstances, just do hella support convos. Most of us are pretty active on RPN so I'm sure if you ask someone they'll be happy to start up a convo with you.
Do not post support conversations in this thread anymore. You can consider all conversations in this thread to be archived.
So you're wondering, "When is it okay for new characters to have a support conversation?" And I'm here to tell you. Normally, a new character should only hold a support conversation after the chapter they're introduced in.
However! It is possible to have to a support conversation take place before they’ve officially joined the army IF they're being introduced alongside the character they’re supporting with or if their conversation is being held at a previous point in time with another character who’s already a member of the squad.
However, the highest you could go for pre-emptive support conversations is C for allied characters. Non-Allied characters are allowed to have as many pre-emptive support conversations as they want. If this bothers you, think of it this way. In the Fire Emblem series, no matter how long two characters have known each other, they always start with no support rank and then they work their way up. It doesn’t mean they hate each other or that they aren’t close. Use the support conversation to bring them closer.
The effects of a support convo, I.E. a reward and the bonuses granted by the rank, will be applicable during battles once the conversation is posted. I can't always read these right away to know what’s good, in fact there’s still a few I have to catch up on to this day XD. But if I need to add an item to our storage then please let me know so I can do that immediately. With each completed conversation, each of the characters’ Relationship Rank will increase. For more information on Relationship Ranks and their benefits, check out the Partnering Up topic in Advanced Mechanics.
Each support conversation must include the information listed below in the header. Under the header, please conceal the conversation behind a spoiler so people don't have to scroll hella far to find a specific conversation. Please edit all conversations between the same characters into one post. Each conversation should be in a separate spoiler. The names of the characters should be in a big fat font above it.
Time: (when the conversation took place)
Location: (where the conversation took place)
Support Level: (Support Level that will be reached upon the end of the conversation.)
You can arrange this stuff however you like, but it has to be there somewhere. And of course in order for a support level to raise, the conversation has to be one of substance. It can't just be
"Hey"
"Hey"
"...k bye~"
"Cya"
And yes, I know that Saizo and Beruka’s C rank conversation is literally just
“...”
“...”
“...”
“...”
and as much as I love that Intelligent Systems acknowledged the Jaffar x Rath meme, that shit’s not gonna fly here.
