Hi guys! I'm Redd! You might recognize me from numerous murdergames in the past; I ran Trustfell with Dal and have otherwise been around with a lot of minor villains. So unsurprisingly, I'm bringing you yet another terrible minor villain in the form of Iago from Fire Emblem: Fates! He's coming in specifically from the manga of the Revelations route of the game, but I'll be using English names for everyone because I cannot possibly remember two sets of names. Anyway! Iago is a terrible person who uses illusion spells and dark magic to win favor with King Garon. He's also sarcastic and rude to Garon's children, the actual protagonists, so I'm sure you can see where this will only end well for him. Iago's an excellent suck-up and thankfully usually keeps his thoughts in his head where they belong, but murder is the best solution for your problems?? Why can't he just murder the protags!!! Aside from being petty, rude, and sarcastic, he's actually a genuinely skilled tactician who is very well-versed in taking Garon's rambling ideas and orders and turning them into plans. Oh, and also ignoring all the pointless murdering Garon's doing. That too.

I'll have a permissions/opt-out post up in his journal soon for a full rundown on all the terrible things he's been involved in, in case anyone wants to opt out of playing with him! He's primarily just going to be petty and mad since he's here without any of his powers. And also because he was taken at a pretty critical moment but it's fine. Totally fine.

I'm around in the discord at pokerap#0934, but my plurk is pokerap and that's really the best way to reach me! I'm absolutely here for plotting or yelling about threads or... yelling about Fire Emblem....... look I'm sorry I picked the literal worst Fire Emblem to throw in this game?? Yikes. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing where this game goes and threading with everyone!!

at least there won't be any poisoned curry going on here

[psychophant]

are you sure about that.........

[galrarm]

damn

you right

anything shiro tries to cook qualifies as poison

[psychophant]

can't believe we're all going to die day 1 because shiro tries to cook

[galrarm]

the true tragedy of antumbra was that shiro tried to cook

[psychophant]

rip us..........

[raventhaw]

and at least raven can't absorb any water-type attacks here

[psychophant]

can you imagine though. god. I'm legit disappointed.

[raventhaw]

imagine being the strongest pokemon on your team only to have all your attacks absorbed by a slug....

[psychophant]

stares into the middle distance......................

[twoasone]

I'll be perfectly honest, I keep thinking of the parrot when I see the name Iago.

[psychophant]

Very fair!! He's named after the Othello character; his name in Japanese is literally Macbeth so the Shakespeare references are strong here.

[twoasone]

Why'd they change it from Macbeth?

[psychophant]

Fire Emblem: Fates localized a lot of the names. I'm assuming they changed it because the literary reference doesn't really fit? I'm actually not familiar with Othello so I'm not entirely sure how accurate Iago is either, but that sure is a thing they did.

(Fire Emblem: Fates did a lot of things they really didn't need to do for the localization...)

oh good, we're next door neighbors

[psychophant]

oh boy, I'm sure that won't be disastrous for anyone around at all!!!

[ordealia]

She hates him already, gosh

[psychophant]

I'm so sorry, Lysithea. He's going to make dark mages look terrible. She doesn't deserve this.

[ortion]

Redd...this is gonna be so good.

They can discuss how purple is totally the best lipstick color.

[psychophant]

Right!!! They're just going to see each other and be like "ah yes, a fellow man of taste" and it'll be downhill from there.

I am so excited for Dist......... I love him so much..........
