I'm just.. man, I'm drawing blanks for this guy. Usually I can at least get somewhere, but this one's been tricky.

So, yeah, here's Jaffar. He's a fanpet of the Fire Emblem 7 character of the same name-- you might've seen him in Heroes if you play that.

His story's... basically, he was adopted as an orphan, and for a variety of reasons, was raised to be the whole "perfect emotionless stealthy killer" trope. That all changed after he befriended another person just like him, and then realized that there was more for him in the world besides just fulfilling the purpose that was chosen for him. yadda yadda. A good story of overcoming abuse and hardship.

For some reason, it's just hard to build a TC for him? I've gotten him a few things so far, but the medieval setting + minimalized personal/social life is throwing me a bit for a loop. Here's some main tenets of a treasure chest that I was thinking of:

  • weapons, thief/assassin stuff; he uses knives/daggers, probably poison too, stuff like that. he's very much a rogue archetype, especially since FE assassins are just fancier thieves anyways.
  • medieval-ish adventurer's belongings; healing salves, easily-packaged food, camping/survival goods, those sorts. he spends a good chunk of time in a nobles' makeshift army, and there's a lot of traveling. he's a practical sort of guy.
  • proper clothing; he's v middle-eastern in design, from name to appearance, but even with Subeta's saheric stuff, it's still been slim pickings for me. here's a bit of official art if that helps! (what a grumpy boy.)
  • stuff involving a close personal relationship/family: at the end of his story, he ends up marrying the girl that helped him learn how to properly feel emotions and feelings again, and they raise a family together. it's meant to be sentimental but not over the top-- I've already got the wedding band and some flowers with wholesome meanings, but I'd like to add a bit more.

be sure to ping me, subscribing is.. awkward on Subeta for me aha. :')

ah, jaffar. someday he'll come home in heroes and i can have a Very Cute Nino And Jaffar team... someday... i'm not too familiar with fe7 since i've only played awakening and heroes, but i'll skim his wiki page and give it a try.

i don't have many ideas for the family items... maybe he could be holding on to nino's tome, or maybe her locket? / / / / (i know her as a green unit in heroes, but if i'm reading the wiki right she's a red unit in fe7 proper/her art?? bigger book selection if one's looking for gronnblade or elfire than just the one tome, though p: )

Oh, those are cool, thank you!

Yeah, same! Raigh already exists as a unit, too, so now we just need Lugh to show up so I can hopefully get the whole family together. And 7's a really great game, I'd recommend it!

And !!!! I forgot about the locket thing! I know I thought about it at one point when I was flipping through support conversations, but those are all good examples. The tome thing is smart, too; Nino's an anima mage, which fills the niche of "everything that isn't dark or light magic", so all of those books could work. I always need so many tomes for all my mages..

Thank you for the item suggestions!

@ Marine it's on the list! sacred stones takes priority since i already have it but i'm definitely thinking about picking 7 up for virtual console or emulating it or something (also its' sequel, because lilina is A+ best child).

& glad i could help! had some fun looking up things and trying to decide what best represented a vulnerary, haha

[edit] also i don't know why i suggested , is way cheaper p:
