(i hope you don't mind, this is going to be my favorite prompt, i'm definitely writing other takes on it)
Blue-haired lord, pale-haired girl with dreamy eyes, the shadow of a dragon clawing at her dress; a paladin, more experienced, whose weapon will protect them until they’ve grown stronger; a lone swordsman you have to defeat to recruit, a haughty, outspoken, fearless girl who gives lashes with her tongue and heals with her staff; a fey-looking man, the prettiest that all have seen, blond-haired and delicate and his soul like a song strong as steel; a shapeshifter or two; the sisterhood of pegasus knights, and later, defecting from decadence, a wyvern knight wounded to their soul but recovering; the prickly thief jealously guarding that girl they’re close to (or looking after their boys); the bow-user who’s kind of a jerk, the paired cavaliers you can rely on; the mage who uses wind magic (is it an anima game ?) and the monk who uses light magic and there’s gotta be a dark magic user somewhere, and hang on, do you need promotion items in this game, how are you going to promote them all???
A continent at peace, neighbours cordial, until – until suddenly…
You’ve done this song and dance before, though; so you sigh under your breath, smile a bit, and push on START.
Fire Emblem, any
