Not to downplay Gary's shittiness lol, but I see what line you're talking about!

Gary's jelly of Alain because he's the son of the man Ilenia loved and that man wasn't him :'(

But I don't remember him wanting to kill Alain only because he wasn't his son?

On that level, Alcina "wins" the comparison because she accepted to help Ilenia once even if she was Gerard's daughter and not hers lol, but given what she plans to do with the rest of Gerard's fam (and if she had her suspicions about Ilenia being turned in a soul jar too)...

He gives so much "nice guy" vibes lol, and yet even if the "at least I fought for her until her end" plays in the "nice guy" vibes, given how he directs those words at Joseph who also feels like trash for having failed and let her die (his feelings post Virginia's paralogue!) it's more pathetic than anything else, as in pathos wise for both he and Joseph, as he claims Joseph has no right to "judge him".

He could have had more lines with Hodrick though, who also was on Ilenia's team during the paralogue, but was later used as a soul jar and did things against his will, as opposed to him helping Zenoira of his own volition.

Granted, when Ilenia was still alive, he wasn't revealed to be that scummy because while he sure fired Berenice for hitting some people - something she did to cover him who was going to do the very same! - despite bragging about being an aristocrat or coming from a rich and noble family, he still took her under his command and they apparently had a good relation, even if Berenice is poor/from a lower class than he is.

But given how he turned his coat the second Ilenia died and was basically only faithful/in luf with, as you said, his idea of her, Gary's scuminess only needed an Ilenia "push" to come out lol.

Gary's pathetic and as I noted before, basically the Unicorn Overlord version of FE8's Carlyle but without the supposed care he has for Joshua lol, but bar that? Just a minor character who at least gives a last "fuck you" to the cast and dies without regreting his actions.

However, the comparison with Alcina - whom the game and the characters wants you to feel bad for - really stings when their character arcs are really similar.

The Unicorn Overlord fandom doesn't talk enough about Ilenia. Girl has lived a fascinating life.

Her dad died when she was a kid, protecting his lover. Who was NOT her mother. Gerard also doesn't paint a flattering image of his parents, so who knows how they raised Ilenia.

Then her husband dies, and if we interpret into Gaileys line that he "lacked the grace to leave [Ilenias] heart", we can probably assume that she was devastated. Also, Berenices support with Adel(?) shows us that there were at least some people thinking her incapable of leading the nation.

And then there were the problems with Drakenhold and all that. Honestly, Ilenia is a fascinating character. I wanna know more about her.

So I saw a Reddit post discussing who everyone picked to perform the Rite of the Covenant with in Unicorn Overlord, where someone in the comments talked about how he made the choice based on what would have given Alain the biggest political advantage. They listed some examples, and that then got me thinking “What is EVERYONE’S advantages to Alain were he to pick them?”.

So I wrote all of those out for each and every character recruitable in the main portion of the story, alongside some potential downsides too.

Spoilers below the cut up until the final battle of the main game!

Without further ado, I shall now present all of these in sections based upon where the in game library says the character counts as being from:

Cornia:

Scarlett: Not only secures peace with Albion, but also means Alain has direct influence onto the control of Palevian Orthodoxy, enabling religious backing, and the country of Albion itself.

Lex: Nothing politically gained beyond increased public morale. 

Josef: This is his dad, the king’s guard are already secured with Alain because of this, same with all Liberation leaders. Don’t marry dad.

Chloe: Nothing politically gained beyond increased public morale.

Hodrick: This is kind of his uncle figure, probably shouldn’t do that. The king’s guard is already secured anyways. 

Clive: Strengthens ties to the Ashen Blue Knights, potentially making the Ashen Blue region swear fealty to Alain directly instead of his grandfather Gerard. 

Rolf: Nothing politically gained beyond increased public morale.

Sharon: Strengthens ties with the Palevian Orthodoxy, garnering support from religious entities.

Mordon: Seemingly much older than Alain, perhaps not appropriate. Would strengthen support with mercenary groups, may face criticism of perpetual drunkenness. 

Yahna: Unsure whether her power will enable her to continue to live forever or not. Served Alain’s mother as court sorceress, morally gray on whether this is appropriate. Would secure support from the southern swamp region of Cornia, and strengthen ties with Elheim.

Berenice: May garner support from mercenary groups and potentially the Ashen Blue Knights.

Selvie: Nothing politically gained beyond increased public morale.

Auch: Will secure allegiance with House Aubrey of Cornia. May potentially face criticism as a former commander of Zenoira.

Adel: Strengthens ties to the Ashen Blue Knights, potentially making the Ashen Blue region swear fealty to Alain directly instead of his grandfather Gerard.

Fran: Secures support from the Knights of the Rose, potentially able to rebuild the squadron and increase public morale as a result.

Nina: Secures support with a Cornian noble house, potentially may face criticism for former banditry work.

Miriam: Secures support from the Knights of the Rose, potentially able to rebuild the squadron and increase public morale as a result.

Kitra: Secures support from the Knights of the Rose, potentially able to rebuild the squadron and increase public morale as a result.

Melisandre: Secures allegiance of House Meillet of Cornia. May face criticism for swearing fealty to Zenoira during their invasion.

Colm: Significantly older than Alain, perhaps not appropriate. Would secure support of House Meillet. 

Monica: Secures allegiance of House Nordheim of Cornia. May face criticism for swearing fealty to Zenoira during their invasion.

Renault: Nothing politically gained, will most likely face criticism as a former high ranking general of Zenoira.

Tatiana: Nothing politically gained, will most likely face criticism for engaging in inhumane experimentation.

Virginia: This is Alain’s cousin, he realistically shouldn’t marry her. Not like that’s stopped royalty before though. Would ensure that the Cornian royal bloodline is not split and thus cannot have a dispute of royal succession. Also ensures allegiance of the Knights of the Rose.

Gammel: Nothing politically gained. May garner support from some in Elheim, though most likely will face criticism for banditry. 

Mandrin: Nothing politically gained. May garner support from some in Elheim, though most likely will face criticism for banditry.

Drakenhold:

Aubin: Garners support from the desert region of Drakenhold, strengthening ties between the two countries. May increase support from mercenary groups, but may face criticism for former banditry

Travis: Secures allegiance with House Zechshelm of Drakenhold, strengthening ties between it and Cornia. Also may garner support from mercenary groups.

Bruno: May increase support from mercenary groups. May face criticism as a former Zenoiran general.

Berengaria: Secures allegiance with House Zechshelm of Drakenhold, strengthens ties between the countries. May increase support from mercenary group, but may face criticism as a former general of Zenoira.

Leah: Strengthens ties with Drakenhold.

Primm: Strengthens ties with Drakenhold and the Palevian Orthodoxy.

Aramis: Secures peace with Drakenhold in secret.

Magellan: Garners support from the desert region of Drakenhold, strengthening ties between the two countries. May face criticism for former banditry and being a former commander of Zenoira. 

Liza: Garners support from the desert region of Drakenhold, strengthening ties between the two countries. May face criticism for former banditry. 

Gloucester: Strengthens ties with Drakenhold, though may face criticism as a former Zenoiran commander. 

Hilda: Nothing politically gained, will most likely face criticism as a former Zenoiran commander and inhumane treatment of citizens. 

Jeremy: Nothing politically gained. May increase support from mercenary groups.

Gilbert: Secures peace with Drakenhold, granting Alain direct influence on the country.

Bryce: Nothing politically gained. May face criticism for banditry.

Amalia: Nothing politically gained.

Elheim:

Rosalinde: Secures peace with Elheim, potentially giving Alain influence on the country. 

Lhinalagos: Strengthens ties with Elheim. 

Celeste: Strengths ties with Elheim.

Ithilion: Strengthens ties with Elheim. 

Eltolinde: Secures peace with Elheim, giving Alain direct influence on the country. 

Ridiel: Strengthens ties with Elheim. 

Railanor: Strengthens ties with Elheim. May face criticism as a former Zenorian general. 

Galadmir: Strengths ties with Elheim.

Bastorias:

Morard: Strengthens ties with Bastorias. While no one singular ruler has been selected yet for the country, he is one of the most likely candidates to take the position, which grants Alain direct influence on the country. 

Yunifi: Strengthens ties with Bastorias. While no one singular ruler has been selected yet for the country, she is one of the most likely candidates to take the position, which grants Alain direct influence on the country.

Ramona: Strengthens ties with Bastorias. While no one singular ruler has been selected yet for the country, she is one of the most likely candidates to take the position, which grants Alain direct influence on the country. However, she is implied to be much older than Alain, so this may be questioned on whether it’s appropriate. 

Dinah: Strengthens ties with Bastorias.

Bertrand: Strengthens ties with Bastorias. Questionable whether this is appropriate given his implied age due to having had a son.

Govil: Strengthens ties with Bastorias.

Albion:

Ochlys: Secures support from the Palevian Orthodoxy, strengthening ties with Albion.

Raenys: Strengthens ties with the Palveian Orthodoxy and Albion. Implied to be older based on her having been a lady-in-waiting for Scarlett as a child, so this may be questioned for whether it’s appropriate or not. 

Jerome: Secures allegiance of the Largion region of Albion, strengthening ties with Albion. Seemingly much older than Alain, this may not be appropriate. 

Umerus: Strengthens ties with the Palevian Orthodoxy, Albion, and the Heavenswing Knights. 

Fodoquia: Strengthens ties with the Palevian Orthodoxy, Albion, and the Heavenswing Knights. Questionable whether this is appropriate given his implied age due to having had a son.

Sanatio: May strengthen support from the Palevian Orthodoxy, Albion, and the Heavenswing Knights. Will most likely face criticism due to his part in covering up the murder of Pontifex Arant and following Zenoiran command.

If you happen to think of any other benefits or downsides to the characters, it would be neat to see what you think!

[best-uo-character-tourney]

Welcome to the tournament!

Here we shall see which Unicorn Overlord blorbo shall reign supreme over all others in a voting gauntlet, determining who the TRUE Overlord of this game is.

Some quick housekeeping:

Only playable characters will be in this tournament. No Gerard, or Galerius, or Baltro, or (sadly) Lou will appear.

Propaganda is allowed and very heavily encouraged. Put it in your reblogs, use the ask box, the replies of the post, whatever! But please keep it respectful.

DO NOT attack other people for their voting decisions (e.g., "so-and-so enjoyers are the worst", "don't vote so-and-so or you're stupid", etc.). This is ultimately a fun and lighthearted contest, let's keep it that way.

To that end, please be a good sport if your favourite character gets eliminated.

I am but a single mortal man who has plenty of obligations outside maintaining a blog. Not every hour of my day can be spent on Tumblr. Please keep this in mind.

Please use the askbox for any questions.
