For all of you playing FE6/FE7 characters, or those of you with OCs based in Elibe, this thread is for you.

Given that we've had at least two different Tacticians (based off of Mark of FE7, I mean, not the My Unit of FE13), I feel like it would be practical to create a thread where we can gather information on which timeline each character is from. This way, we have an idea of who each person would know, as well as who would know each other.

As an example: Blossom, from FE7, knows Rath. Her timeline has her fighting with Lyndis' company and then later with Eliwood's through the story of FE7. She knows Rath, she's spoken to him. But the Rath here in Learania is not from the timeline she came from, so he does not know her, and he is not the Rath she's familiar with.

Please list the character from Elibe, which timeline they're from, and at what point (either base it around a point in time within the game or pre-/post- whichever game, to make things simplest). Eliwood vs Hector's mode doesn't particularly matter here; the game is still about Eliwood, after all.

If you have a timeline different from those listed here, mention so specifically and it can be added, as well.

The Timelines

1) Mark as Tactician; the plot of Rekka no Ken and then Fuuin no Tsurugi essentially proceed as they occur in-game. A timeline without additional characters within the plot. (Consider this a sort of 'control' timeline, the basic. Canon is what is expected.)

Characters:
  • Sain: Arrived in Learania 3-5 years after the plot of FE7, before Roy was born.
  • Adele Rystda: Arrived in Learania roughly 70-90 years after FE6, where the political landscape has split Bern between Etruria and Lycia. Arrived with her sister, Iris Rystda.
  • Iris Rystda: Arrived with her sister, Adele Rystda.
  • Roy: Arrived post-FE6, before the events of Halloween '08.
  • Ninian: Arrived post-FE7, before the events of Halloween '08. Had been sick before crossing over upon her 'death.' Married Eliwood.
  • Gale: Arrived after Chapter 21 of FE6 upon his 'death.' Minor (overal, vital to Gale) splinter information can be read here, quote or copy-paste to read in larger text. (Or change your View settings.)
  • Wallace: Arrived 10 years after FE7. Did not interact much with the cast after defeating the Fire Dragon. (Probably was busy training or getting lost.)
  • Isadora: Arrived 2-5 years after FE7. Departed from Elibe after Harken left her due to post-traumatic stress disorder.
  • Hector: Arrived 10 years after FE7. Shaved the 'stache, kept the beard. Disappeared shortly after Roy and Lilina met.
  • Julia: Arrived 1 year after FE6. Departed during the reconstruction of the Ilian Pegasus Knights, and blames herself for disappearing before she could finish helping her sister and friends in the Knights. Knows of Roy due to his actions in FE6 and is brushed up on her history regarding FE7 (what made it into the history books and orally-passed legends, anyway).

2) Aidan as Tactician; canon plot proceeds as expected.
Aidan's father is a Lycian merchant, splitting the timeline away from 4.

Characters:
  • Blossom: Arrived in Learania post-FE7 (1-2 years or so) with Aidan.
  • Aidan: Arrived in Learania post-FE7 (1-2 years or so) with Blossom. Currently deceased.

3) Alihi as Tactician; canon plot proceeds as expected. (To my understanding; if you know more about any possible deviations related to Alihi's tactician skills, please let me know)

Characters:
  • Alihi: Arrived in Learania ??? (Akihi's twin sister)
  • Akihi: Arrived in Learania ??? (Alihi's twin brother)
  • Amara: Arrived in Learania ??? (Alihi's daughter)

4) Mark as Tactician, Aidan is Mark's son; canon plot proceeds as expected. [Clarified further here.]

Characters:
  • Rath: Arrived in Learania just before the beginning of FE6.
  • Abel: Arrived in Learania sometime in the 5 years between the given flashback in FE7 (Roy is 5 years old) and the beginning of the events of FE6. Aidan's best friend, determined to protect him after learning his older brother was the leader of an elite mercenary unit Mark formed before his death.
  • Drake: Arrived in Learania sometime after Roy's 5th birthday, upon his 'death,' before Abel arrived. Abel's sworn enemy after killing his older brother, Cain.
  • Deborah: Arrived in Learania post-FE7. Married Hawkeye, disappeared after traveling back to Nabata.
  • Wil: Arrived in Learania just before the beginning of FE6. Left Wolt to be raised by Eliwood at Pharae Castle after Rebecca died in childbirth.

Sain is from a Timeline 1 scenario. He only know those that were actually in the game not OCs from Elibe. He did not marry anyone in his timeline. He's about 3-5 years older than what he was at the end of FE7 when he arrived to Learania. Basically, Sain is now in his mid 20's as opposed to his early 20's.

Iris, and by extension Adele, are from a post-FE6 Elibe, specifically Etruria. Their timeline has basically followed canon, assuming that after Zephiel was defeated and his extremely taxing war across the countries was ceased, Bern was bankrupt and defeated and as the country fell apart, it was absorbed between the prosperity of Etruria and the order of Lycia. Noble houses sprung up across the newly-developed pair of supercountries and a gentleman by the name of Arthur Rystda was not a small influence in the reformation with his significant capital and impressive skill of entreprenuership developed in the merchant trade. Fast forward about seventy years, his family would become one of the leading magical houses in New Etruria thanks to the tutelage and legacy of Isabella Rystda, née von Sauer. Their great-granddaughter, Adele Rystda, would disappoint the house with her supreme tomboyishness, but Adele's sister, Iris Rystda, would more than make up for it. By now, the legends of what transpired as the canon events of FE7 and FE6 are nothing more than stories told in history books, which Iris was less than attentive towards, favoring her magical classes. The stories are mistold often, as time tends to warp even the most memorable of tales.

Well, I'd say Rath could either be from timeline 1 or 4.

Here's the thing with Aidan; he knows knew Abel, which suggests he was from timeline 4, but was also married to Blssom, suggesting timeline 2. This is why as I've always said, it doesn't make sense; we just pretend it does.

Timeline 4 takes place between FE6 and 7, when children like Sue are fairly young. It's essentially just a personal story involving canon characters and personal OCs that I never fully fleshed out and it's a little embarrassing because I was so young.

My version of what happens with Rath; He marries Lyn, of course, and they live with the Kulolah. At the start of the war with Bern, Bern invades Sacae. The tribes retaliate and there was an alliance formed between them to deal with their invaders. Lyn was to act as a go-between for the Kutolah and the Djute, the two largest tribes, so they could attack together in a joint effort. In battle, when the Kutolah are facing Bern, Rath leads a company that brings Narshen to his knees, but before Rath kills him, Monke, leading Djute forces, shows up and betrays the Kutolah. Before 'death', Monke tells Rath he'll send him to rejoin his wife, essentially saying that he had Lyn killed. From there, the plot of FE6 carries on as we know it. And that's my headcanon!

In one timeline, Aidan is Mark's son. In the other, Aidan is the son of a Lycian merchant.

There's your split. They knew a different Aidan.

I'm saying that the Aidan in FEF knew both Abel and was married to Blossom.

How is that possible?

Maybe there was a Blossom in timeline 4 that he married?

Roy and I were discussing things and came to the conclusion that both Roy and Ninian are from the first timeline scenerio. Roy is from post-FE 6 events. Ninian stayed in Elibe post-FE 7 events and married Eliwood. When their son Roy was about four, Ninian, who had been ill off and on since his birth, passed through The Door into Learania. Ninian has been in Learania since pre-Halloween 2008, as has Roy. The two have met in Learania and they do know they are mother and son.

Edit: MWAHAHA, AFTER SEARCHING THROUGH ALMOST EVERY PAGE OF EVERY THREAD THAT STILL EXISTS OF THE HALLOWEEN 2008 EVENT, I FINALLY FOUND WHERE ROY AND NINIAN FIRST MEET! Ninian comes in here and Roy's first post is the very last one on the page. If the link is broken, it's the "Inside Fefga's House" thread, starting on page 129.

4 is essentially my personal story, and i never used Blossom. (I never knew she existed)

I still stand by the idea that the timelines essentially split based on who Aidan's dad is, and Blossom simply does not exist in both splits. If she does, then she doesn't go off to war in the other one, at least.

Who knows, maybe she dies in the house fire in Timeline 4 instead of surviving.

There's also the possibility I suppose that an Abel exists in 2, which is how Aidan knows him, though my Abel, from 4, has had difference experiences with the Aidan he knows.

see, we're all ******** up. we ******** up.

Aidan and Abel both exist, but because their given experiences are different, they aren't technically the same Abel and Aidan they were familiar with. Any discrepancies would probably be brushed aside as faulty memory until they realized Aidan remembered his dad much differently than Abel did.

Timeline shenanigans are wacky s**t kids

Well, Abel never knew Aidan's father, he just discovers that his father was THE tactician.

Cain (abel's brother) was the leader of an elite mercenary group that Mark created before dying. there's an inherent loyalty to protect Aidan once this is learned.

I'm tired it's late I'm rambling.

Not relevant to anything here, but mentioned for reference:
My Gale, however, splinters off of Chapter 21 in FE6. It's a very minor splinter, but one significant enough to alter his character. He faces Miledy alone, and as they share laments about love and war and regret, they realize that this was never meant to be and they go at each other. There is a ferocious aerial battle, which significantly wounds both wyverns. Gale has a moment of doubt, which is enough for Miledy's sword to catch him across the chest, opening a very large gash and barely missing his vital arteries. He loses his lance in the strike, and his wyvern loses control and lands sharply, throwing him a fair distance to the ground. He is quickly losing consciousness, but adrenaline keeps him going long enough to realize his surroundings. He finds his lance -- pierced through Miledy's armor and chest, her body slumped over a dying wyvern. He recoils in horror, abandons his post, and forces himself back to his wyvern. He pushes it to take flight, and they fly until he passes out.

Oh yeah, since Deborah is also my OC, she's from 4 as well. In the story, she had married Hawkeye after FE7. In the story's conclusion, she travels back to Nabata, but never returns.
