The FE Memes

[Yaen]

Okay, we make jokes about the FE guys, but some of us don't get them, so I will explain it all here.

Hector: The Tank
Hector is called this because of his massive pwnage. At the start, he's really not that good(at least, on Eliwoods route) possessing low stats and the heaviest weapon type in the game(In his own route, he pwns right from the start). However, once he gets past level five, he starts on the road to being the ULTIMATE character in the game, packing massive health, strength, and defence stats, as well with average, later above average speed stats, and suddenly that axe becomes your best friend. He's so great that, after promoting, he can literally clear a map by his lonesome(I have done this, with just two thieves to pick the chests on the way).

Eliwood: The Panzy
Eliwood is like all rapier-wielding Lords. He has suckish stats, a suckish growth, and a weapon that, despite actually having some good stats to it, sucks when wielded in his whimpy hands. In fact, his only GOOD stat is speed. Once you get him up, he becomes a decent character, but thats it. Decent. You'd have to spend ALOT of time on this guy to make him a great unit, time that will drive you insane as he dies. Frequently. Thanks, Jellywood. Thanks alot.

Lyn: The Skank
She's called this because of a few jokes on the enternet about her skimpy clothing and the fact that she seems to be able to fall in love with EVERYONE.

Marcus: The EXP Hog
Marcus is a Jeigan. He can clear an early map and only get 13 EXP for his trouble. And after you hit like...what, chapter 10, he becomes baggage. I've never even used this prick. Not. Once.

Harken:Who's That Guy?
Because we'd all rather get Karel. Lol.

Legault: The Sexual Deviant
This is because he seems to flirt with everyone. Even the guys. And when he isn't, he's playing match maker for Jaffar and Nino.

Matthew: The Lovable Kleptomaniacle Douche
'Nuff said.

Jaffar: The Child Molester
This is really just a joke because Nino is 14. For all we know, he could just be a few years older. This is rarely even mentioned anymore, really.

Canas: The Guy Who Must Know Everything
This is a popular joke in fanfiction, where he is often depicted as a guy who has to know everything about everything. Especially Karel.

I like Harken better. He's a better hero than Karel is a swordmaster

[Rayl Torien]

Harken is way better than Karel. :/

[Amelinde Forss]

I don't think I've ever even GOTTEN Karel, to be honest, so I can't compare him against Harken. Of course, why use Harken when you've got Raven?
Also, sometimes Eliwood gets awesome stats, but he's got to get lucky. Even so, he seems sturdier than Lyn, who dies every #$*%-ing time I put her in harm's way.

[Yaen]

If Harken is so much better, then why do you have to work harder to get Karel? ((In Eliwoods route, you have to kill oh so many promotes, and in Hector, unlock oh so many doors. The latter FAR more difficult than the former.))

[Francis]

because they want you to think Karel is cool...all he haz is the Wo Dao (lest my brain died and I'm wrong)... that is the only good thing about him :/

[Gabriel]

My Eliwood actually turned out pretty good. He maxed strength before getting to 20, and maxed at least two more once he did hit 20. Pure luck. He was dishing kills left and right, along with Hector and Lyn(who was able to do so many critical hits that it really scared me).

[Yaen]

Pshh. Karel is always hard to get. Especially in 6. In 6, he only gets one level up, but when he gets it, he murders. Everyone. With nothing but his left pinky and a smile.

[Chelsea Dagger]

I like Karel better ^^

[Rayl Torien]

You people and your swordmaster fantasies. ;P

[Richter Abend]

Guy is a far better swordmaster :^/

[Valcrist]

The lack of Gheb disturbs me.

[Eric]

Seth: Jeigan done right. He's a Paladin in the service of Renais in FE 8. Basically, he's not even close to the best unit in the game, but he can be used for the entire length. In one ending, he marries the main character, Eirika.

Gilliam and Amelia: Among the best Generals in the series. Raised properly (Amelia starts as a recruit) they end up virtually indestructable and able to deal massive damage. Their "Great Shield" ability nullifies all damage every once in a while.

[Yaen]

Those aren't memes, Eric, those are statistics. And Seth isn't a Jeigan, he's an Oifey.

[Theian Geian Makarn]

Before anyone asks what an Oifey and a Jeigan is...
