While I don't want Chris to die since I put a lot of effort into his bio and his face sprites, I wouldn't be averse to playing a more support-oriented character since those are the roles I tend to gravitate toward anyway. So if he does I'll probably come back as a Healer, Dancer/Bard, or something else support-oriented.
Speaking of face sprites... Powder, you want one? Or do you already have one? ^^^
Ah, in that case, I'll move a little closer and keep out of Adarlan's range. On your last turn, Adarlan would likely move out of range, and I'll be fine to revive Chris. How you'll get away would be a problem, however.
Edit: By the way, are your sprites just recolours, or do you make them custom, because I swear I never saw that guy in any of the GBA Fire Emblem games.
Granted, I haven't gotten far in FE7 yet.
