You know how Siegbert looks most like Xander. Forrest looks most like Elise. And Shiro & Kiragi look just like their fathers. I was thinking about the fact they act almost exactly like how the four royals died/before they died in the other routes.
Siegbert being depressed/stressed and wants to please his father + is close/protective of Forrest. Xander in Birthright is depressed/stressed and wants to please his father to where it becomes his downfall. Xander used to be super close and protective of Elise.
Shiro being stubborn and doesn’t like losing with a burning passion. Ryoma in Conquest being extremely stubborn and doesn’t like losing to the point of killing himself.
Kiragi is passionate and has a good skill set but is unaware or is unwilling to face his shortcomings. Takumi being a nightmare to deal with in Conquest because of his burning hatred for the Nohrians with a passion and has a terrifying skill set of he isn’t on your side. He is also becomes so lost in his own hatred that it allows him to get possessed.
Now onto my weakest connection. Forrest and Elise. Xander and Elise were close. Xander was protective of Elise, but his slip in not noticing she was gone until it was too late causing her death. Forrest was kidnapped because of Leo having a lapse in his attention span nearly getting Forrest killed, but thankfully wasn’t too late to save him.
Modern!FE14 head canon! The kids are in high school and are apart of the schools underground/black market/or better known as—to keep it on the DL— Overtime.
--Siegbert secretly rules the entire underground of the school. From drugs(Kool aid gummies, quality snacks, weed, nothing ACTUALLY illegal-ish—but is ‘illegal’ in the school), betting on fights/fight club, alcohol, “deeds”, codes to the entire school, is able to change your grades/attendece, blackmail, you get the idea. All answer to him when they want to make a business in the underground. Usually keeps his face covered unless he’s talking with the “Elites” of the underground. Is thinking about choosing the next leader of the underground that isn’t a Junior or Senior. Gets paid handsomely every week. Code name: Golden Ruler.——Shiro is apart of Fight Club and participates in fighting matches and is so far the raining champion while everyone is racing to take his place before his senior year. Is one of the “Elites” of the underground since he’s the champion. Is personally one of the very few ‘Elites’ to see Siegbert’s face and know him personally. He also does ‘personal deeds’ for Siegbert every so often. Code name: Yorozu—— Asugi and Midori are the ‘drug’(-ish) dealers. Asugi sells and makes the candy and so far their are over 300 Kool Aid Gummy addicts in the school and people are try to thwart his Kool Aid Gummy empire. While Midori is actually selling full on drugs; aka weed and homemade drugs that she has no clue what the effects are and uses people as her personal test subjects for the drug. Him and Midori are escorts/retainers for the “Elites” and does their dirty work from time to time. Code names: Maverick and Harmony. —— Caeldori on the other hand is trying to figure out who the leader of the underground is or whoever got blackmail on her and is planning to get her revenge ——Kiragi, Forrest, Percy, Velouria, Selkie, Shigure, and the Kanas are apart of the 80% who don’t even know the underground exists and thinks that this ‘Golden Ruler’ is a rumor or stupid joke. (They eventually find out that it isn’t a joke and they are screwed because of finding out, hence how the story started).——Ignatius and Soleil are Siegbert’s bodyguards and they HAVE to wear masks because if their identities are revealed Siegbert’s might also be revealed. Are considered ‘Elites’ even though they are working for one. Code names: Sun and Moon.——Nina is someone who collects data on a person and gets blackmail. She also does ‘deeds’. Deeds can range from getting a lock combination, getting a teacher password/credit card and the higher the risk the bigger the price and they also can range to ‘personal’ status which happens often but can also dangerous work. Personal deeds are deeds that works like a favor if you do this you get this. It’s a double edged sword. It can range from stealing money, getting revenge on an ex/enemy, protection for a small while, or more actual personal stuff. Occasionally is Golden Ruler’s information collector from time to time. Never once seen his face, but know She is his go to information dealer. Code name: Blank——Ophelia and Hisime know about the underground (a.k.a the basement of the school that just so happens to have a ladder on the outside of the school going down. And that the teachers and principal LITERALLY NEVER USES) and are regulars to it. They get some exclusive stuff you couldn’t get normally. They usual buy some candy or weed, the occasional deed from time to time, sometimes even bets on things/people. — —Sophie found out Underground by accident. Rarely goes out and buys stuff off. Goes to Rhajat or Mitama often.——Rhajat is Sophie’s main. She specializes in curses and is considered one of the ‘Elites’ of the underground due to her powers. She rarely goes out of her way to help/meet Golden Ruler. Code name: Jersey Devil.—— Dwyer and Mitama own a business together and makes sleeping ‘potions’ (it’s just tea that makes you fall asleep. The only reason it’s in the black market is because they can amp up the dosages). Mitama does her occasional readings.—Everyone that goes down into overtime has to have some sort of mask to protect their identity. Just pray to god if the person you want to get revenge/blackmail on isn’t behind one of the counters.
