[DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND orz a drop post]

This occurs at the very end of the novel, after Tir and Gremio leave Gregminster. After this conversation Tir goes and lives with Gremio happily ever after :|b

[BASIC SET UP Leknaat has appeared out of no where when Tir was out by a campfire at the very end. Y'know. As she tends to. They got TALKING.]

'But Tir, you have forgotten one very important thing.'
'Something important?'
'That's right. You were friends with Ted when he had the rune. But your life was not taken away. Why do you think that is?'
Tir found himself unable to answer, what Lady Leknaat was saying could not be. But if so--
'Lady Leknaat...'
'My thoughts are that, because he spent a long time with it, it is likely he was able to suppress it... though you bear the rune, not much time has passed, but after some time you might also be able to suppress it. And so the wars that the Soul Eater causes will also end...'
'Then, then Lady Leknaat...!!'
'That's right. The curse has already been feared*, it's not even necessary to wander. And if it is you, one day the Soul Eater's true appearence will be revealed and the power will surely come to be able to be manipulated. Go on without being depressed, Tir. I believe in the road you travel......'

With those words said, Leknaat disappeared in a flash of light.

* I think what it means by this is that all four spells have been learnt, because if you remember, everytime someone close to Tir died, he gained a new spell.

So after translating the novels I need to note down what exactly OCCURED between the time Ted first met Tir (when he was a child), what happened that we KNOW of during the years until he met Tir 300 years later, and what happened when he killed himself for my own reference. Thank god I happen to have the SuikoIV last novel too. Even so, I bet there is sttuff I missed \o/ But this is the basics.

Hahahaha oh man I was crying while translating this and I DO NOT DO IT JUSTICE jesus christ guys I wish you could at least understand japanese so you can see why it's more touching in japanese :(b  Anyway, the very roughly translated death scene.

SO I got the Suikoden 1 novels and. It has uh. A lot of Ted.

A  LOT of Ted. Right now I'm just rough translating the snippets i can, so here they go! This is the snippets of the village and his death scene ones should be up sooner or later. Be warned that. This is not ALL of what's going on, just what is relevant to me. It's a lot more sadder etc when you read it all in full. This is all done in order, so try to piece together what would've gone where~ If you played the games.

OKAY SO i am realllly bored and discovered I LOVE making neat little pokemon trainer sprites for characters. So here you can request one for one (1) of your characters. Please state whether you want them to have a pokeball or not :|b

For examples of what I've done, here: ChidoriTed Gwen  Seimei Chisame  and other's that I'm too lazy to upload |D

Okay dokay, I am too lazy to link to the individual pages, but here's the stuff from Genso Shinso volume one. It focuses around the Tenkai of Suikoden 1 and 2 and the Silverbergs, but I only scanned stuff to do with Tir and Odessa, and the info page on Kasumi.

I fail more than all of you k.

So I just got Gensou Shinsou volume 2. For those who don't know, it's the published official articles and stuff about suikoden, and Volume 2 centers around Ted, Gremio, Jowy and Nanami. AKA the really plot pointy characters of Suikoden 1 and 2.

And I scanned the pages for anyone's interest 8D well, the pages on Ted anyway. A lot of the stuff are things I already know but. Yes. Good times :DDDD New resource = me being happy and I'll be trying to translate the things that I don't know/look interesting. Plus the script of what Ted says in japanese is always A++.

Anyway! Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

S-so I haven't done one of these in a while.

RELATIONSHIP MEME/HOT-OR-NOT GO re; Chidori and Ted.

Comment here and I will tell you Chidori's/Ted's favorite icons of your characters, that they've seen!

...I have no idea why I wrote this because it's so bad o god.

[made because me and Lazlo feel really guilty about raping people's posts with our gay :( PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO COME BUG US HERE THOUGH]

Ah, you want to start now? Just let me put my bow and quiver away then.

Age: 300+ (looks mid-teens though and you could say he's jailbait.)
Height: 165 cm
Weight: He's tiny, so probably pretty light.
Medical Info: Dead dead dead. Yay camp~
Eyes: Novels says chestnut
Hair: AGAIN novels say chestnut. Also his hair is fluffy.

Physical traits:  Baaabyface which PISSES HIM OFF he's not a kid dammit. He's pretty small otherwise and he has his fair share of scars. He probably wears gloves out of habit, but there's nothing wrong with his hands anymore (though he once used the excuse that his hands were burnt in a fire).

What's Okay To Mention Around Him: Canonly? If he ever learns to associate the name Yuber with the demon who burnt his village there will be HELL. Mentioning runes will also cause rune angst like WOAH. Otherwise, anything is good.

Abilities: Ted is one of the most godmodey characters in Suikoden, and according to the novels he was magically powerful enough in Suikoden 1 to be able to suppress the Soul Eater's curse when he met Tir. SO uh, I'm pretty sure he merely hid his abilities, along with everything else, in Suiko I, and other than being a bit rusty he's generally still pretty powerful. Seeing as he can use four level four rune spells, he is one of the most powerful mages and with the Soul Eater he can kill you dead pretty fast. Add in that not ONLY is he a mage, he's also a damn powerful archer which all of Suiko IVs archer combo attacks revolve around.

However, he doesn't have the Soul Eater anymore. Maybe if Tir is around, he may still have a connection to it as the previous master and thus can control it. But since he's dead we have NO IDEA if that works anymore.

Notes for the Psychics: Ted has a lot of runeangst. A lot. Most of it went away when he overcame the curse and gave the Soul Eater to Tir, but he still feels AMAZINGLY BAD about it and it's probably easy to pick up on. He's also dead and was once immortal.

Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: Go for it! It's fun to make Ted flail.

Hugging, kissing, other non-violnet contact: GO FOR IT if Ted trusts you he will gladly respond. But otherwise he might be a stiff bastard.

Maim/Murder/Death: Yeah uh. In a battle situation? I expect things to get messy BUT out of it, the tenkai may bitchsmack you around if you do, so please don't unless we talk it out.

Cooking: Ted has had to live on his own for 300 years, occasionally pawning food off kind families that took him in or just plain ol' fishing. He's pretty good, in other words!  If not out of plain old necessity to be good.  So he can take care of himself if needed, but he'd prefer someone else to make the food when they can.
