IMPORTANT SITE REMINDERS ARE LISTED AFTER THIS RANT (so please read all of it in order to find the rules >:3)
On this mega I shall take the opportunity to rant about one of my favorite things: the Webnovel UNJUST DEPTHS!
Do you love transgenders?
Do you love communism?
Do you love queer romance?
Do you love killing fascists in a giant fucking mech?
Would a plotline with all of these things happening in a underwater retro-futuristic gundam setting intrigue you?
Especially if its actually really well written with good characters, rich worldbuilding, and a marxist leninist transfem author?
All of the answers should be: YES I DO or else I WILL BAN YOU
Since you obviously love all of those things then Unjust Depths is perfect for YOU yes YOU! It is DESTINY
The Imbrian Ocean is at a time of severe instability. The monarch of the vast Empire that spans its unjust depths (:3) is sick and nearing death, every territory of the ocean now vying to carve their own Destiny out of the chaos. From the Volk fascists 
, Zionists 
(they literally will not die why are they still here oh my god), The 'Anarchists' (social chauvanists) 
in Bosporus, and the monarchs 
of each vast noble domain, each vies for power and prestige no matter who they crush underfoot, but it would be a pretty depressing story without a bright light in the dark.
On the edge of the Empire sits the glorious Union! The (Soviet) Union 
is a socialist federation of three states (and one anarchist mountain 
)that were formerly slave colonies under the Imbrian Empire until they broke away in a fierce liberation war. They have spent the last 20 years since then building themselves up. Whether they be Human 
, Shimmi 
(Catgirls who usually follow a religion closely related to modern Islam), and Kattaran 
(a hybrid humanoid species with characteristics of sea life ranging from sharks to cuttlefish)building socialism side by side.
First lead under the revolutionary leader Dashka Kansal, then the Idealist Ahwalia who lead the country to near ruin in pursuit of building a utopia on pillars of sand, then under the scientific socialist 
leadership of the Grand Marshall of the Union, Bhavani Jayanskar (I love Jayanskar so much shes basically as if Stalin, Lenin, and Zhukov were rolled into the same person but was a black lesbian badass who wore the uniform REALLY WELL)(she aint the main character at all tho shes only in very few scenes i just love her so much). Under Jayanskar, the Union has been growing their economy to both eliminate hunger and give everyone a home 
, but also growing their military capabilities for the inevitable return of the Empire. The Union is alone, but with the people by its side nothing, not even Destiny, can snuff out true freedoms light. 
As war wages between the Empire and Republic (basically underwater USA) once more over the lands between them, the facade begins to finally crack...
And a border conflict between the Empire and Union escalate, and the dreaded reconquest begins.
Amidst this turmoil, lives our main characters (yes there are multiple and all of them are lovely). Each of whom I personally love dearly, and are very well characterized. Many are soldiers of the Union, some are scientists, some are divers (mech pilots), some are lost strands finding new meaning after joining this band of Brigands
All are Communists 
All serve the Union 
All would gladly give their lives to defending socialism 
but even they would have little inkling of the adventure set in store for them as the lands beneath the waves erupt in fire, fury, and revolt
Can these transgender badasses kick fascist ass?
Can they kiss? (oh my god please kiss ISTG THERE IS SO MUCH SHIPPING AHHHH ITS GLORIOUS)

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
I've been hit with a giant saltine cracker, but first I need to share updated portraits:
portrait post (condensed because it's longer)
Meet my FE game's favorite egg, Sol. He's one of it's main characters. I think I found a way to make this work, and I actually made a design that I enjoy a lot, and I think it's an improvement over the not-so-great portrait I posted last week. Here's her post-transition portrait:
As Luna's transition also marks a class change, I decided to go with robes rather than armor, as her main focus will be on dark magic. The best part of it is that she'll still be able to use the axes and swords she could use as a Mercenary.
Here's Cora, an Anima mage:
Here's Vigil, a Soldier. I plan on having them promote into a Halberdier, though I may also see about something like a Paladin. And no, this is not the main character, despite the blue hair.
And here's my pride and joy for today, my other main character:
She's a Pegasus Knight, so armor was a fitting choice. She'll also get to use magic when she promotes, but she'll be using light magic. Ha, see what I did there with light and dark? Anyway...
Have any of you noticed the colors I've used on specific characters. If it doesn't look that way, let me know, but here's the rundown:
The soldiers, even temp soldiers (essentially socialist mercenaries) like Sol/Luna (MC1), wear the gray armor with white edges and purple decor. Thinking of making these the colors of the People's Republic of Iberia, since dark magic ties heavily to their revolution. Aylin (MC2) wears the gray armor of Iberia, as it's a symbol of freedom to most of the continent, but she also wears the red/gold of the Divine Caliphate. Delfi (the old bishop) wears the white armor, which is going to be the clothing color of choice for most of the characters loyal to the Caliphate, but since Aylin is a revolutionary, I thought she would be better suited with the gray.
In terms of the giant saltine cracker, here's the thing. The GBA Fire Emblem games have blinking and mouth movement animations for the portraits. However, in order to get them working properly on OC's (without drawing them from scratch) they have to be spliced. The only issue is, most of the characters, if not all of them, in all FE GBA games, are white. In an attempt to make a game where characters from different regions are actually different, and not every character is white, I have made it harder for myself to make this game unless I do away with the animation frames entirely.
EDIT: I added another portrait, this time of Cora the mage! I also added one more, they're a soldier named Vigil.
