Here's the Favourite Females version: [link]

I wanted to get around to doing something like this for a while now.. just to show my love. XD
As soon as exams were over, I had to search for pictures and doodle away.

So here they are, my "favourite males" from each released Fire Emblem (1 - 11--but not including whatever that was for the Satellaview). So, it may feel that "Marth's Fire Emblem" is overrepresented since he got a sequel and then a remake!

Anyway, if you can't tell, here they are and why I chose them (from left to right):

Volke - Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (FE9)
Ike, Kieran, Haar, Geoffrey, Tibarn, and Reyson were also possible runner-ups. I chose Volke because he's a mysterious spy that turns out to be an assassin! Woo! Intrigue! I thought he was just cool in general. He never really explains why he's picked up this type of work, or what he does with all his money, but I get the sense that there's a lot more to it. Plus, he's got a sense of humour! The character designer for him (Senri Kita) seems to like him a lot, since I notice there's a lot of little details she added to his jacket, and even giving him a pipe!

Hugh - Fire Emblem: Sword of Seals (FE6)
He's cool because he's Canas' son. XD I actually haven't played much of FE6, seeing as it's not translated officially and all, but it's interesting that he has a dislike for dark magic despite his dad's legacy. And from what I know of his support convos all he talks to are old ladies and children.. and he's hilarious! A+!

Kashim - (I think they changed his name to Castor in the remake?) Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem (FE3).
Uh... I actually have little to no idea who he is or what he does. I just liked his character design as I was going though a bunch of Fire Emblem trading card artwork. XD From what I can gather, he's some hunter that's trying to make money to take care of his parents. Just a random side character for me to give a little spotlight to. XD

Hector - Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword (FE7)
Hector's awesome! An FE lord with an axe! I also liked that he gets the super hard mode in the game. I liked his brash and independent personality, and I liked hooking him up with something just as brash and independent (can you guess who?). He had a lot of tough competition against Rath, Heath, Legault, Erk, and Raven, but he won out in the end for being awesome.

Marth - Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light (FE1)
I actually don't know very much about Marth even though he's this main character of about 3 games, appears in Smash Bros, and I even watched the 2-episode anime! XD He's just this regular lord--but the Smash Bros games sure make him seem funny with his "Watch me, everyone!" taunt and his prim and properness. I just kind of based my rendition of him a mix of his ORIGINAL (awful) art, and the SSBB one.

Nabarl (or Navarre?) - Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon (FE11)
I was running out of characters to choose from! Oh well, why not choose the original Fire Emblem sword master then? XD Apparently, he gets hired by enemies, but won't harm women or children, so it's easy to guess how they make him change sides. XD Despite his two-swords in all his artwork, I am not so sure he uses both in-game!

Shinon - Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (FE10)
Ike, Nolan, Geoffrey, and Sothe were runners-up in this one. I was actually having it down to Shinon and Volke and trying to decide which game I wanted each one to represent. XD Shinon got even awesomer in FE10 when he gets meaner and possibly more racist. Not that racism is cool, but there's lots about him as a character that piques my interest. He's a jerk and pretty arrogant, but he's skilled. He also seems intelligent enough to know his racism and condescending attitude is wrong, but he chooses to be a jerk anyway--I don't know why that's okay with me, but it's probably because nice characters like Gatrie and Rolf know he's a nice guy deep down. I also figured that he's oddly jealous of Ike because Greil was a father figure to him and it's all sibling rivalry from there. XD

Noish - Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War (FE4)
He's just this red social knight with little backstory, but he's one of the only guys I'll let hook up with my precious Ira (Ayra) <3. Because he's got critical and charge, which combined with Ira's pursuit and shooting star hit, that leads to killing machine babies! If you think about it, it's kind of funny since he's supposed to be this calm and serious guy, but there's a chance he'll relentlessly hunt an enemy down XD. Ira's son Skasaher kind of looks like Noish, right?! (haha, Noish and Holyn look very similar, but Ira ain't going to make no babies with a cousin! IECK!)
Runner up male would have been Lex for being hot (and kind of like Hector?). Levin was also pretty cool.

Brighton - Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 (FE5)
I haven't played much of this game because beides from not being translated, it's brutal and unforgiving! I don't' knwo why I chose Brighton out of everyone. Maybe I just have the hots for axe-knights that remind me of Dr. Wyvern (original character. lol). And he has wrath--that makes him extra cool. Otherwise, I would have chosen no-pants Asvel because I considered him my "lackey" throughout the game or maybe.. Sety, who was at least important!

Arum (or.. Alm?) - Fire Emblem Gaiden (FE2)
I know almost nothing about this game except that it's a side-story to the first game! And had.. RPG-ish elements? Either way, I've never played it, and looking at the artwork.. it was very hard to choose who was the better character. I thought I'd just stick with the main guy after all (I believe in a more updated art of him, his hair changed to blue, but we have enough blue-haired sword-wielding mains in FE to last us a lifetime, so no thanks!). I modified his armour slightly, but it's mainly intact from that awesome original character art.

Cormag - Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones (FE8)
This wyvern knight had a lot of competition from others such as Joshua, Gerik, Knoll, but I picked him because he gets to ride a wyvern and has a scar. I also liked that he was a fierce warrior, but loved animals! Maybe also cool that he never ends up pairing with any of the ladies. FE7's character art made most of the characters ridiculously tall, so I didn't know how tall Cormag actually should have been in comparison. I just decided.. maybe he's the tallest in this group. XD

THAT TOOK VERY LONG TO WRITE.

Hector and Cormag makes everyone else in the group look tiny in comparison!

Yes, I'm doing a female version too. I think I got all the characters picked out for that one!
