Top Eleven Fire Emblem Characters (9)

I appreciate Fire Emblem's Old Guys.  I don't mean the Marcus-types (though they're good too), or the ancient sage-types, but the older dude, usually heavily armored, that you get at the middle or end of the game.  The one with crap stats and an affinity for small children.  I almost always use Lorenz in Shadow Dragon because I think he's a great character and his story is heart-rending.

The Lorenz archetype persists through the series-- Hannibal, Douglas, Tauroneo-- but Magvel presented the best of the lot, IMO.

Coming in at #9... Duessel.

( No, really. )

Incoming Finn-Spam

Absolutely not enough appreciation of Finn out there on the Internets.

Recommended fanfic:  "Fathers and Sons" by TwinMoons.  Negative as hell, from the perspective of his son.  Also the second-oldest FE story in the FFNet archive.

( Art. Lots. Tons. )

I wish I had the one of him in the desert, but I lost it.  :(

There is FinnXTrabant artwork out there.  I mean, what?  No, I don't think so.  Not all mortal enemies are in it for the sexytimes.
