Description What comes to your mind when you read a such great title as "Fire Emblem: Immortal Army" ?
This is the question I asked myself before I start this sheet, and now you see my answer !

Technical aspect:
Skeleton and Hellbone sprites are not edited but to fit the consepts "hellbone" become
a sort of "cursed solider" and the three weapons they can hold lead to three diferent classes.
The berzerkers family are mostly recolors (but what gave me some headache) and the others
sprites required heavy customization, even for those where it's not really visible.

Conseptual aspect:
The "Immortal Army" as many figured out is composed of warriors who continue livingto protect
their kingdom even if it has fallen many century ago...So now they are mostly skeletons who fight
blindly any intruder, including civilians who don't even know about the ancient kingdom


Well, this is a common definition pepole have too, right ? This is what I applied for the Berserker
family and what basicaly are Skeleton warriors and Knight, Rider and the Cursed wariors classes.


Ghost:
An ancient mercenary still bound by his forgoten contract even in his afterlife.
Avenger:
A "spirit of vangence" who fight whoever stand in his way between him and his goal.
Executioner:
An Avanger who lost memories of his goal and attack both his ennemies and allies.
(Note: with the correct item you can control their mind to let them attack ennemies only.)

Skeleton:
The spirit of a warrior fallen in the battlefield who still seek a sort of victory
Cursed warior:
A skeleton warrior renforced by black magic who can't stop fighting or find rest anymore

Rider:
The spirit of a warrior whose link with his mount was strong enough to bring it back with him.
Skeleton Knight: 
An ancient Great knight who answered "the call" because he still seek for glory in the battlefields

These were quick definitions for the class 1 and 2 units and the berserkers family. Now, let's take
a look to the Real "Immortal Army". They share Badass names as "Immortal lancer" or "Immortal King"
and it's not for nothing ! They have trained in afterlife all these centuries so they easely can be counted
as Elite Class and are able to use their ancient strategies but also able to learn new ones from their
current ennemies, what make them even more dangerous.

Immortal Archer:
Member of the legendary army, this archer don't let his eyes fool him, he have a formidable hearing.
Immortal Lancer:
Member of the legendary army, these lancers can siege for years without ever let their guard down.
Immortal Swordman:
Member of the legendary army, this swordman can use his shield then perform a quick counterattack.

Immortal Rider:
Member of the legendary army, these Riders can't be distracted and use the whole triangle of weapon

Ancient Mage:
Pupil whose knowledge and wisdom in his previous life led him wanting to study the world once again
Ancient Sage:
Member of the legendary army, this Sage use both powerfull spells and long distance healing staffs.

Pretty Cool, right ? The Ancient Mage is not like others undead who seek for revenge, glory ans such thing what led them to be summoned by any evil being. So they probably only answer the call of summoners they find worth of their services.

Consernig Magic users there are no Dark magic users in the Immortal army. They were legendary for their might and the forgoten kingdom was considered as a utopia...probably. No Light users too,
because of the highly understandable fact that they are undeads and lost the guidence of such light.

Now that we saw the army in a whole, let's talk about The extra part of this sheet.
These are simply the colors what fit the Real "Immortal Army" and the one for the summoned Ghost.
the two Ex Classes of this sheet, Often considered as overpowered they make good Final or Secret Bosses. Yet who else than the King who rule upon the Immortal Army can be a good Final Boss ?

Reaper:
An assassin who became legendary by the number of souls his blage led to the path of death.
Immortal King:
The King of a forgotten kingdom. His motives are unknown but he move by his strong will alone.

So yeah, if we were in a real game the player always start with a minor "bad guy" who think he is a genius who summoned the legendary army and who want to rule/destroy the world, then after a epic fight against him he flew beheind the king, asking for protection.

Here we can perform the classical yet so effective twist of plot where instead of protecting the bad guy, the king kill him, showing that he was never manipulated, then taunt the player and retreat in his forgotten castle, waiting for the Epic Final Fight he wait for.
Of course his actions have deeper meening, and to have such strong warriors in his commend, still following him after all these centuries, he muse have a strong and beautiful backstory as a great king !

The raper share the extreme opposite fate, as he is famous to be cold hearted, killl so much pepole that we can't count them, and even kill the Executioners and Avengers who come back fighting him in their afterlife !
But he maybe is not complettly like that, or was not...Anyway, using Jaffar sprite really inspire me ^^

That's all for today ! Well it's a tiny word as I developped consepts who can be the base and
synopsys of a whole Fire Emblem Hack in only one sheet. As at start I was only doing the Ghost sprite because i was bored this confirm the rule: "Being bored can lead to random levels of awesomness"

Anyway, that's not all in fact, I still need to give credit and write the "legal" part so first i want to say thanks to the two spriters who accepted that i use their sprites as bases. Watching your works is an awesome way to get inspired ^^

Legal content:
All Fire emblem Sprites and Consepts used in this sheet and description belong to their original ownersThe same apply to the others deviants works, as I never claim the bases used as mine.
Conserning the original consepts, names and sprites in this sheet they probably will be used in the future sbut for now I place it into a CreativeCommons for NON-Profit works only (like hacks and homebrews games).
The storyline I developped is random but I may also use it somehow later.
Anyway, it's a recurent storyline so give credit if it inspire you,but you can create great stories too, right ?
If you want to use the sprites what belong to someone else you still need their approval,
as I had a "base use" approval, not a "for all uses" one, thank you if you follow the rules.

Clearly, if this Knight can stand against a tiny spider, surely he is fearless, even to large Immortal kings who can kill a well-equipped, well-trained knight, in one hit.
