in relation to the spirits inhabiting each country, how does that work. how do the borders work. in specific when did central get imbued with its own distinct spirits
yeah that makes more sense, since Faust and Lennox were clearly Already Like This before there was a central country, but it just then begs the question for me why there wasn't a central country before
at least the west is just salivating over chances to not start but participate in a war and the east is just getting annoyed because their nobles are acting cooler than the royal family
speaking of Bradley, roleswap aus SHOULD be SIMPLER to work out the setup for than having to like, rearrange the entire 2000 year historical timeline, but 1. if I roleswap Shino and Heath will the spirit of Shino that possesses me sometimes just kill me
I think I've found the arrangement that I find personally most entertaining for a full country swap au but it is late now so I am going to sleep and then work on making it make real sense in the morning.
Bradley: As a sign of friendship, the royal family of the Central Kingdom was going to send treasures to the royal family of the North, so I attacked the caravan.
conversely Faust is the only west old enough to be responsible for accidentally fucking that up which sasuga Faust’s life. Idk why he wouldn’t move then though so maybe it was someone else who is now an ex-west
Shylock absolutely cannot be an ex-west because then he would never leave but maybe he was an ex-central so he can nurse a nice eastern wizard grudge against Murr and Figaro on until the heat death of the universe
A scientist should probably not lead a revolutionary army, but maybe could do tacitician things or weapon supply things. Figaro has conquered places before tho so I'd bet on figaro still being involved
Rustica is northern born, Cain and Riquet are eastern born, Bradley and Murr are central born, twins and Oz are southern born, once again all wests are wests from start to finish
the great thing about Shino is I don’t even have to try. his backstory is now just “canon, but instead of getting taken in by the Blanchettes he became a north”
I keep being like “I should swap someone out of west and give them another old man instead” but the only person I really want to move out of the west is Faust. what do I even do with Faust. I wouldn’t know what to do with him in the north or south either
I thought about swapping Figaro and Heathcliff just now but I DEFINITELY don’t know why Faust wouldn’t leave the west if Figaro is there on top of everything else.
Bradley: As a sign of friendship, the royal family of the Central Kingdom was going to send treasures to the royal family of the North, so I attacked the caravan.Shino: east->north bc he is an icon and an inspiration
Mithra: north->south
Nero: north or central->south
