Theme music, Recruitment, and Castle Position/Responsibilities

[Starslasher]

Theme Music: Theme for the Flame Champion Hideout. Nice and soft.

Recruitment Requirements: Buy any armor/equipment from Starslasher before (the first battle in the game, whichever it may be). After naming castle, find Starslasher at South Window and talk to him. Ask him to lend his services for the castle. Once that choice is chosen, the Tenkai star (or speaker for a slien Tenkai star) will explain that the armor/equipment was impressive indeed and would like to have his wares atthe HeadQuarters. Starslasher obliges and joins.
(Starslasher joins the 108 Star of Destiny) *ques music*

Castle Position and Services - Starslasher will be the Castle Armorer as well as a fighter, having someone else stand in for him should he be in the party.

In battle he as a B+ grade skill in Trade-In and a B grade skill in Discount.

Bork! Bork! Bork!

[Acheron]

Theme Music - Boyz N D Hood by Dynamite Hack... This song is the great. THE great.

Recruitment - Must bring me.... a shrubery! One of good shape and consistency, and perhaps a nice little fence to go around said shrubery.

Castle Position and Services - Acheron would have to be a Bujutsu Teacher, citing his expansive knowledge of Greco-Roman Style Wrestling and varied martial arts backgrounds. Uses a basement with mats in it as his training room.

[Lucent]

Theme Music - Shigeyoshi Kawagoe - Green Gravestone - Gensou Suikoden, Celtic Songs.

Recruitment - Standing at the top of Mt.Seifu very infrequently, Lucent is recruited should he be encountered and both a young Star of Destiny and an Old Star of Destiny be in the Hero's party, "Hmm... Wisdom of the ages... and a child's innocence. Perhaps you are the one after all."

Castle Position/Service - Lucent serves as a rune sage during castle duty, his shop starts as a modest koisk in the common area of the Headquarters, but by the time the castle is Level 4 he has a clocktower constructed for her services.

Investigator's Info - Investigations on Lucent often come up with the investigator not remembering the Hero asking questions at all. Sometimes the investigator will be talking about things that happened days previous, or have yet to happen at all... No luck finding out anything interesting.

[Masaya]

Theme Music - Kefka's theme... who else wouldnt' want that..

Recruitment - Must be atleast level 30. Also must have a item called the Rainbow Brooch. If both requriments are met, Masaya will join you.

Castle Position/Service - Inside the tavern, at the counter with two shot glasses, flicking a quarter. Initicates the game of quarters. A new mini game, where your hero can become intoxicated if he plays too often. A basic aim and flick quarter game with Masaya, if you loose your screen fades and you wake up with a random star of destiny.

Investigator's Info - Oh.. hardly any investigation was needed at all. He's always around the taverns in the lower continent. When I found him, he was sleeping in a bush in South Widow. The weird thing was it was 4 o clock in the afternoon...

Location- Can not be found during the day. At night I am at the top of your castle sitting on the roof thinking.

[Wataru]

Oh, I forgot about all the little supplemental things!!

Wataru would probably run a minigame in the gardens. Maybe a gardening game or flower arranging for fun and profit. As a cookoff judge he would like food that has a higher price, not just deliciousness rating, and he would be one of the better actors in the theatre game. Investigations would be long-winded. The first one would be along the lines of, "When Wataru noticed I was investigating him, he invited me to his gazebo for tea and cake. Then he proceeded to tell me his whole life story! He even pulled out his baby pictures!" The next two would be long and rambling descriptions of Wataru's background, exactly the way he told the detective.

BTW, Watari, is that Gaelic in your sig? What does it mean? The only Gaelic I know is "pog mo thoin"

[Camus the Noble]

Theme Music: "The Circle Game" by Joni Mitchell

Recruitment: The Hero would have to make a pilgrimage to the top of Mt. Seifu, and bring me back the Holy Raven Feather found there. Then, he and his party would have to beat me at euchre.

Castle Services: When the Hero found a Holy Raven Feather, he could give it to me and I would unlock its magical powers to permanently raise one character's stats. There would be a fixed amount of these items in chests in the game and the Holy Raven enemy would have a 1.125% chance of dropping them. Also, they cannot be Hunter Rune'd. Also, would act as the castle librarian.

[Zeik Tuvai]

Theme Music: Evanescence "Fallen" - Haunted

Recruitment: Your castle must be LV3. After gaining Tinto as an ally, visit the city of Crom and go to the Inn. After agreeing to spend the night, a cut scene will occur where *Tenkai name here* wakes up and goes outside. Under the full moon, he sees myself sitting on some steps looking up, and sits down to talk. After a brief discussion of what "destiny" is, I offer my services to *Tenkai*, but only if he can beat me in a duel.

Castle Location and Services: I reside on the roof of the highest point in *fortress name*. When talked to, I reply "Well then, shall we?" You can reply "Of course!" or "Uhh... Maybe later...". If you reply "Of course!", I'll reply "Don't look down." and you are immediatly thrown into a duel with me, at that very same rooftop...

War Battle Services (Suikoden II style): Adds "Critical" and "Evade," ATK + 2, Def + 1.

Edit: Correct some bad grammer and changed the theme song.

[Ley]

Well, as all those in the nameless Lands know I portray the laziest person ever. That is Ley, so in which way would Ley be recruitable.

How to recruit

The first chance to find him will be right at the very start of the game. In the army barracks is a young man lying on one of the bunks. Talk to him and he will tell you that life right now is far too high paced, and that people should relax more.

It is cheaper to recruit him at this point. Go back to the Tenkai's home and use his bed 100 times to nap. Go back to Ley and he will congratulate you on your new approach to life. He will ask to join you to mentor you in your new lifestyle. Agree and not only will he increase your attack temporarily for every round a fight lasts in which he is fighting, but he will negotiate all inn fees allowing you to rest for free in any inn you come across.

If you choose to not recruit him at this point, there is only one more opportunity to recruit him. Later on, when in the enemy's camp, if you enter the large tent you will see Ley again, this time in a hammock behind a large desk. If you have rested 200 times when you talk to him he will ask to mentor you. However, you will be unable to use his Inn technique, and he will only increase your attack by 0.5% a round temporarily.

Castle position

He will be found in the army barracks resting on one of the beds.

Theme Music

I can't think of anything right now.

Special events

The bath scene found here with Scarlet if he is recruited.

[Hawk Thanatos]

Theme Music
Dive into a Corner - Suikoden II

SoD
Tenbi Star

How to Recruit
Hawk Thanatos is a prisoner of whatever enemy the Tenkai is fighting but manages to rally the other prisoners into escaping. Then during one of the Tenkai's strategy battles Hawk Thanatos leads his loyal band of ex-prisoners aka the Death Guard in to save the Tenkai's sorry ass from certain defeat and gets his very own anime cut-scene in doing it where Hawk and his two short swords carve through the enemy and then finishes off the enemy general. The Tenkai then begs Hawk and his Death Guard to join.

Castle Position
Either the pub or the training hall. During one of those night walkaround things that happen before battles if the Tenkai goes to the pub he can see hawkthanatos fighting (and winning) a Knight (usually the Chimou star, a character like Borus). In the training hall you can fight hawkthanatos in a super hard 1on1 battle and if you somehow manage to win you recieve a stat stone depending on what you did (if you used runes a lot you get a MAG stone etc). Takes place in both regular battles and strategic.

[Providence Luc]

Ooh! I like this thread!

Theme Music
Advent: One-Winged Angel - Final Fantasy VII : Advent Children
I think that the lyrics of this song are also a reflection of the persona that I portray. Refusing to just be a memory and such.

Recruitment

Pre-requisite : Best Ending must be loaded from Suikoden III

The Sindar Ruins used at the ending of Suikoden III must be excavated through a mining mini-game similar to 'Whack-A-Mole'. After uncovering the Sindar Ruins, find your way to the Ceremonial Grounds where Luc died. You will encounter a weaker incarnation of the Wind Rincar from Suikoden III and begin battle. After winning, Providence Luc will reveal himself from behind the shadows. In order to thank you for releasing his soul, he offers to join your army.

Castle Position
He can be found standing next to the Tablet of Promise when not in your party.

Castle Services
The Stone Tablet of Promise will not only show you the list of stars. When Providence Luc is recruited, the blank spaces in the list will glow when you have fulfilled the general requirements to recruit them at that stage of the game.

Investigator's Info
1 - "He seems to be some guy from Harmonia, but who knows. He always keeps to himself."
2 - "He's not human, I tell ya. I've seen him with wings! Maybe he's a winger?"
3 - "Come join us... And we will seek Heaven."

[MariGreywords]

Theme Music: Phase One= Neclord (Final) Phase Two= Facism (By La Chryma`Christi)

Requirements: Castle must be at fourth level, just because of the sheer annoyance of the entire event.

Phase One: Hookay . . . here we go! The random hero character is just roaming around the world map, after getting his castle to fourth level. Suddenly, the screen goes blurry, and fades into what would normally be a random battle. (Note: At this point, the music is completely silent.) Instead of a battle, it is a small area to walk around in. The hero walks north for a while, until it finds a VERY gaudy black stage. Cue the Neclord (Final) theme, as brightly colored smoke bursts up from the stage! Out comes Mari, dressed in her Neclord rip-off cloak. After making fun of the Tenkai star and whoever he has with him at the moment, the random scuffle ensues. Mari pulls out random Neclord-style attacks, including throwing plastic bats at the party, and throwing a large blue boomerang. After being defeated, a strangely demure Mari promises to never to evil again . . . and even join the party!

Phase Two: As the party moves to walk off-screen . . . Mari suddenly drops a smoke bomb and runs off . . . with half the party's Potch! (Because i'm too nice to take it all. ;) ) Now, if the party is willing to get their money back, they get to go on a Special Quest which will be out of the country, depending on the game. The next city they enter will have a man in shiny gold armor, with long blond hair, sitting around at the nearest bar or inn, drinking up a storm with the local barmaids. After listening to the party's plight, he'll laugh up a storm, and tell you that he can take you to where the black-cloaked girl hides out . . . for 10000 Potch . . . Of course, there is another method . . . If the party has a relatively cute girl, she can go on a date with the Golden Emperor, as he randomly calls himself. After this mini-event, the Golden Emperor takes the party to Warrior's Village . . for drinks! After this . . . dum dum dum . . . Neclord's castle! After fighting their way to the top, taking down monsters like "Cardboard Vampire" and "Robo-Zombie" along the way, they reach a cloaked figure playing the organ . . . only, when she gets down from the seat, it continues playing! (A player organ? Pfft . . .) After chewing out the Golden Emperor for leading the party to her, she throws off her Neclord disguise, and takes on the party in her normal get-up . . . to the backround music of Facism. At this point, she actually becomes a difficult boss, whipping out personalized versions of a Fire rune, and a unique rune called Mimicry Rune, which gives her a 20% chance to deal the same amount of damage that she was dealt with a single attack, to the attacker (Or party, if it's a multi-target attack.). After being completely defeated . . and with a little coaxing from the self-proclaimed Golden Emperor . . she finally does join the party! In fact, she gives back the money she stole . . DOUBLED! You now have a speedy little mage on your hands, with a funky unique rune. GOODY!

Castle Position/Special Role: She is generally wandering around the hero's bedroom, suspiciously close to his dressers/chest/etc. "Guard duty, sir! Heh heh heh . . ." Occaisionally, she can be found at the bar, hunched over on the table with the Golden Emperor. "No . . *hic* more . . . booze . . " She has no special role normally . . . unless she gets on a stage. Amazingly enough, she has a special flair for acting, and is able to earn bonus potch and items from the audience. This can only be done once every half-hour, game time. This allows for moderate abuse, for a complete waste of time.

Investigator's Info: "Man, this is one crazy chick! I swear, she must have a vampire fetish or something! Have you seen her wardrobe? All cloaks, robes, and leather."

"You know, on second thought . . she's really not that scary. It's hard to be afraid of a chick that passes out after a single cup. Pretty darn hilarious, actually!"

"You know that guy who always hangs around her? The one in the gold armor? I've heard rumors that he's some wandering royal, that was exiled from some backwater island country. Weird thing is . . . i've found descriptions of him from years back . . ."

"Oh my . . I just saw Mari on stage . . . such charisma! Such poise! Such grace! I think i'm in love . . . You think she'd go out with me? Hey . . where are you going?!"
