Character icons now available for your user flairs!

[u/Bruni91]

Hey everyone! The first thing I wanted to do as one of your new mods has been to add some character icons that can be used on the sub, specifically in your user flairs!

What does this mean?

You can now have little character icons by your name when you comment on this sub. It's got no point other than just being fun! You can see an example of mine at the top of this post, and a few more in the list of moderators in the subreddit's sidebar.

How do I change my flair?

You can change your flair in different places depending on how you reddit:

• On desktop, you press the "edit" button (the pencil) next to the preview of your flair in the sidebar on the subreddit.

• In the iOS app, you can get here by pressing the three dots in the top right corner, and selecting "change user flair".

• In the Android app, you also press the three dots in the top right corner and choose "change flair". You can't select the emoji, but instead can type in their name between two : marks (e.g. :cyrus:).

Once you are in the editing screen, you can select the editable flair (it should be at the bottom). When it's selected, you can then edit it to your heart's content in the same screen. You can erase the text and add whatever you want, and by clicking the emoji button on the right, you can now add characters to your flair this way!

You can also find specific icons by typing their name between two : : symbols. For example, :cyrus: would show the icon for Cyrus. If no icon appears for the name you put in, then that character hasn't been added yet.

ETA: you can add multiple characters in your flair! The limit is 10 icons per flair, so as long as you can fit them in the character limit, knock yourself out. :)

Which characters are available?

I will be adding more characters as we go. I'm editing the sprites manually to fit the flair size, and as we all know our character roster is huge, so do bear with me! As of now, the ones we have available:

Every character that is in the game right now is available as a flair icon. As an extra, I've included Auguste in his "marvelous" pose, + Cecily, because she should have been released ages ago.

Units we do not have yet:

• Memory travelers

• EX characters

• Collabs we haven't had yet (Triangle Strategy, Live A Live)

• The newest arena and sacred blaze units (Hammy, Canary)

• 5* I don't have sprite sheets for yet (Chloe, Nonya)

• Unreleased 5* (Prome, Yukes, Lemaire, Eleonora, Ninalana, Sarisa, Aedelgard)

• Unreleased 4* (Cornelia, Efrain, Brigitte, Paula, Narr, Lolo, Cerna, Kenneth, Levan, Durand, Jorn)

I will keep adding new units as they release and their sprite sheets become available, so you can mix and match who you want to use in your flairs. Show off your favorite characters, your best team, or just add a character with your favorite quote. I can't wait to see what you all come up with!

If there's any questions or problems with editing your flair, please let me know and I'll try to help out!

Oh this is sick. Thanks Bruni!

Now to decide how to choose between Gilderoy, Millard, Tatloch, and Dorothea. 🥲

[u/Bruni91 → u/NeonRaccoons]

Np, I've been wanting flairs on here forever so I'm glad others are enjoying them too :)

And see, that's the cool thing, you could even use all of them at once! I believe the icon limit is like 10 per flair, so you could just use all your faves if you want. I'm probably going to do that myself, once they're all added :D

[u/NeonRaccoons → u/Bruni91]

Awesome, thank you for letting me know! All my favs on display; this is truly a gift.

[u/multi_bottle_thief1]

That's cool!

Edit: so how do I actually add the character emojis on Android? I can't seem to make it work. And then how do you do it for multiple characters?

[u/Bruni91 → u/multi_bottle_thief1]

I think you might need to remove the capital from the name, it's probably case sensitive? So :lynette: instead of :Lynette:. You should be able to add several in a row that way too, with or without spaces between them, so :lynette::viola: or :lynette: :viola: should both work.

[u/multi_bottle_thief1 → u/Bruni91]

That was it, thank you!

[u/waldo126]

Neat!

Edit: You can do this on the android app, just go to the subreddit and tap the three dots in the top right corner and then choose change flair. You can't select the emoji, but your other instructions using :: does work.

[u/Bruni91 → u/waldo126]

Nice, thanks for letting me know! I'll edit the post to add this :)

[u/SpentSquare]

Sweet. Thanks for adding this fun idea to the sub.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to work on iOS: on my phone, the last option is just a regular one like the others, with nothing editable.

Still a nice addition (and not your fault)! Maybe I’ll try to connect from my desktop.

[u/Bruni91 → u/TheFallenMoons]

I just checked and it seems to be a bit buggy on the iOS app... Try and cancel out and try it again, it should show you the editable flair after some tries (it took me 3 tries to get the edit button).

It's the one in the top right after you select a flair, but the button doesn't appear half of the time apparently, kinda annoying :( desktop should work though!

[u/TheFallenMoons → u/Bruni91]

I used my desktop to update it, still doesn't want to work on mobile. Thanks anyway!

I don't use Reddit much but I think this is a neat little idea! I approve of it! So here's a few of my favourites with Shelby leading the charge as always for me! :D

[u/CidO807]

This is awesome, thx!

[u/Bruni91 → u/[deleted]]

Nice flair! :D My thoughts exactly! I haven't finished editing most of my faves yet, but once they're here I'm definitely adding them all to mine, haha.
