Assuming she can control her fear towards cats first (which, unfortunately, will spell trouble for her since we all know Mai Enna loves cat).

"So I heard you're a fan of Kamen Rider, am I right?"

"Are you kidding me? Kamen Rider is LOVE!!"

"Awesome! Then you're a part of us!"

"What's your name?"

"Smith."

"Wesson."

"And we are..."

"The Linebackers!"

"Takeshi Akira. But you can call me Akira."

"Awesome!"

*Linebackers & Akira high-five*

Mai: ......

..........

.............

baaka.
One thing, though: like the Linebackers, our Kamen Rider otaku is a bit... simple-minded, if not stupid. :uhoh:


:heh:

So... does she know Cat-Fu as well? :uhoh:

*whistles for ref*

She and the Linebackers are gonna get along sooo well :D

Although something of note I've forgotten to point out ever since - despite their truckload of anime references... S&W have in fact never seen a single episode of any anime title, or live-action Japanese show for that matter :heh:

(which meant they don't even knew who they're cosplaying as when they dress up as WHO T3Y ARE :heh: )

Well, right until Kay comes along :heh:


he better do that first. :uhoh:

And of course, Freya will have to be taken captive first :uhoh:

Halloween Special, Chapter VIII: 45% complete. Lots of battles, and lots of madness as Yuunodas and his 300 Mid-Childans suddenly jump in.

"Mid-Childans!" one of the renegade Belkan mages shouted. "Put down your weapons!"

"Belkans!" Instantly all the 300 soldiers executed the phalanx. "Come and take them!"

Before I begin, let me apologize for apparently offending people. Tk spoke a lot of sense (referring to the multi-part quote below), but he also seemed to take it personally. Yes, I am extremely ignorant of how shit like time-space warping and how fast an inter-dimensional can travel. I was hoping to be helped out here, not bombarded with "OMG HAX". The whole point of my discussion is how to turn it into less hax, as I myself am extremely against hax.

And also, this is hard because when quoting someone it doesn't quote what they've quoted, thus I have to refer to other quotes... or something.Don't be put off by Tk. He's a tsundere type, so the harder he bites, the more he cares. :heh:

I've not much clue of how to help, as I've turned the Saint Church into something so much more than canon intended so... I'll leave it to Tk. :nod:

Kai: You're STILL wearing that?! :twitch:

What kind of... berserk I wonder :heh::uhoh::rolleyes::)

And you're betting Sophia for the contest then? :DI'm... too afraid... It's probably worst than what Chaos can think of. Nighty's way too worst. :p

More like Sophia'd throw herself at it. She's the one who prides herself as fairest of them all after all... :heh:

If there are different categories:

Sophia = Tsundere, Nekomimi & Mikofuku categories

Valkyrie = Dojikko & Chibi-meganekko

Saber's got quite a lot of competition coming from Marina, Relena and possibly Arthura Zara. :uhoh:

Anything you could suggest would be awesome. Like I said, I'm ignorant of most of the ways the Nanoverse works: it's been ages since I've seen the first or second seasons, and last time I ran through StrikerS was when yesy finished 26. I've never seen/heard about the Sound Stages till I joined here, and except for a few 4komas, I didn't realize how rabid the fanbase was ;) .

On the other hand, I'm from the Evangelion fanbase, who's average otaku will eat your soul for so much as looking at Eva funny.

I'm not one of those whiny brats that are like "OMG YOU CRITICIZED EVERYTHING I HAVE DONE IT MUST BE A FLAME DDDX." Most of what he said was right, and I'm one to admit that.

You don't have to understand it thoroughly. Even if you can reverse-engineer the basic concepts, you can acquire a more thorough understanding through time. If an F-14 fighter jet somehow got transported to the year 1776, don't you think that whomever's lap it landed in would devote time to figure it out? They'd first figure out the concept of flight, then slowly over time (several decades or whatever) figure out the rest of it.

It doesn't quite work that way. In 1776, you're talking about a time when even foremost scientists do not know of machine power. They might figure out the principles of flight and even of the jet engine, but no amount of tinkering will allow them to reverse-engineer the electronics of the jet. It requires an understanding of concepts that are foreign to their worldview. It would truely be a "black-box" technology to them.
For complete reverse engineering and even leapfrogging the original, the copier has to have a tech base that is as close to the originator as possible.

Which is why I set it way back, to the early days of the TSAB. The world had always been there, just not very important. I guess you could say that, strategically, it was useless.

Strategically useless or not, if a world within a few days' travel of Midchilda made noises about attacking and destroying the TSAB, you can be sure the Bureau would respond quickly, decisively and with overwhelming force.

America haxed its way out of the British Empire.

Only because the Colonies' tech base was close enough that soldier quality made a difference, and they had support from France. Look at the natives of north and south America and Australia, they never threw off their colonisers. Note I said natives, the societies that did throw off the colonisers were built by the colonisers themselves. Some South American native tribes held out until the 20th century and acquired guns even. At that point, the local governments anihilated them through military campaigns with superior firepower. That's the situation your planet is facing.

I think your best approach is to put the planet far, far away from TSAB-controlled space. Like more than 200 days' travel at least. You can lose the scout ship and the TSAB would have no idea it had been captured. Then you can have another ship rediscovering the planet decades later and finally managing to get the news home. That forces the TSAB to commit only limited resources to the conflict due to the distance and give the planet the chance to force the TSAB away due to being "more trouble than it's worth".

OH YEAH!!!!! :D

Although it'll apply only to those OC's with actual pics though :heh:


As if it's so hard to find images of female on that net :p

Yes, keep telling yourself that :nod:

*dodges*

*Throws shoe at LoweGear*

Oh well.:(

Jeno falls into the third kind now after he completed the third stage. Katrina doesn't need to know of Spica's existence, the knowledge of Jeno merely capable of that possibility is enough. :D

And yeah, glaring loophole for me plug up. :eyespin:


True... But when she sees what he's capable of doing on the job, it doesn't seem like it's too impossible for him to do...


:eyebrow:

At least it's going to be fun. :heh:

Isn't that always the case :D ?

Now for the contestants...


Sophia: Oh-hohohohoho! :p

But I like my IRL tsundere just fine thank you. Go wallow in your own deprivity...

...ow.

I think she'd go berserk if I ever pull a Dayaka on her though... >_>


So are you in or not :p ?

Or are you just afraid knight...

Before I begin, let me apologize for apparently offending people. Tk spoke a lot of sense (referring to the multi-part quote below), but he also seemed to take it personally. Yes, I am extremely ignorant of how shit like time-space warping and how fast an inter-dimensional can travel. I was hoping to be helped out here, not bombarded with "OMG HAX". The whole point of my discussion is how to turn it into less hax, as I myself am extremely against hax. Sorry you just seemed to be clinging to this whole “uber force field of some kind makes us untouchable so we can pwn the TSAB with a single planet” thing and it was annoying me as it was against canon, against common sense, and pretty damn hax.

I've never really like the whole "some tiny bad somehow defeats huge empire" cliche it make no sense and it's done to death. If you looked at allot of fiction you'd thinking being big was some kind of disadvantage in a war!


And also, this is hard because when quoting someone it doesn't quote what they've quoted, thus I have to refer to other quotes... or something.Well the problem was you could then get quote trees half a page long... I've seen some boards that do that and it actually gets more confusing once you have like 10 quotes nested inside each other.


Didn't I mention I dropped the idea of temporal manipulation?I will admit I missed it though you did just change it up slightly to "impregnable forcefield" which wasn't much better.


You don't have to understand it thoroughly. Even if you can reverse-engineer the basic concepts, you can acquire a more thorough understanding through time. If an F-14 fighter jet somehow got transported to the year 1776, don't you think that whomever's lap it landed in would devote time to figure it out? They could try, but they'd never learn anything as they'd lack the tools even try and analyze it, fuck they wouldn't even know what the wings where for! Or why it was full of big empty spaces inside (fuel tanks), or... and so on. Even if they took it apart down to the last bolt it's debatable if they'd learn anything at all form it as they wouldn't even grasp the concepts of psychics that drive it's operation.


They'd first figure out the concept of flight, then slowly over time (several decades or whatever) figure out the rest of it.Acutally they probably never figure out flight from this as they have no pilots and don't even understand how something made of metal and weighing 20 tons COULD fly. (a perposturous idea to be sure!) so they'd never attempt to get it too, never mind they'd have no way to refine the highly advanced fuel it would require anyway. If it HAS fuel to start and they figure out how to start and attempt to use it they probably destroy it a fire crash very quickly thus ending any further study.

Again it gets back to the fact that science is all interwoven and self supporting you can't just get one example of something and then suddenly have 15 other disciplines rocket froward as well to allow you to build it.

Even a shitty F-14 knock off would demand massive advances in:
-Metallurgy
-Chemistry
-Psychics
-Construction
-The INVENTION of the entire field of electronics
Plus massive numbers of skilled workers which demands huge boosts in education and entirely new factories on a vastly larger scale which will demand still more innovation, and on and on.

I've been through this argument a million times with people reverse engineering is neither easy OR fast unless you're already very close to the target objects tech level, but that's nearly never the case in sci-fi in which it's almost always used to explain a ludicrously large leap in capability in an insanely short time period which is WRONG.


Once you acquire a basic understanding of something, the harder stuff becomes easier Kinda like mathematics: there's no way you can understand Algebra when you're six (unless you're wtfsmart), but because you started with the basic stuff like addition and subtraction and worked your way up, eventually you'll be able to at least attempt calculus.Which still takes years and only works because you had it all laid out for you... what if you had to INVENT all the math along the way? Which is basically what has to happen here.

I know, I know, it's two entirely different things, but do you see the analogy I'm getting at?A broken one that over simplifies the problem vastly?

Oh oh and before I forget: I said that most civilians were illiterate; government officials, scientists, and whathaveyou are perfectly able to read and write.And very limited in number a largerly illiterate populace is NOT acceptable for someone attempting to establish a high tech economy even technicians nowadays often have years of formal schooling at a level arguably higher then the greatest scientists of the 1800s.

How was I supposed to know that? I have no idea how a spacecraft works. You can't assume that they were on red alert the entire time watching for something bad to happen. If you use Star Trek as a reference, there were plenty of times the Enterprise got ambushed with inferior technology.DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON TREKNOLOGY.

*Pops a vein before reaching over to grab a blabbering trekkie by the throat crushing it and then hurling his corpse into a flaming pit and clams down slightly*

Star Trek technology is an abomination of pointless technobabble, unthinking idiotic writers with all the science education of a 5th grader and the story writing skills of an 8th grader between them. It's riddle with outright contradictions abuse of terminology, utterly brain dead characters passed off as "experts", tech of the week that's never mentioned again despite it possibly being enormously useful, and bullshit techno panaceas to every problem.

Trek Science and engineering is STUPID science and it should be the LAST model you opt to follow.

http://stardestroyer.net/Empire/Essays/Engineering.html For some examples.


This is my fault here, as I never really explained what exactly their technology level was at, throwing out concepts like "more advanced than us" etc. etc. Also, the whole concept of missiles v. spaceship has apparently been proven invalid, so let's go a different route.

Bump up the civilization a few tech levels. Take out the concept of laser grid, implement the concept of really freaking huge railguns. Solid weaponry in a no-friction environment could probably tear anything to pieces a la Halo 2's Earth Defense Grid. Solid slugs proved highly effective against Covenant shielding. It's the same concept.Solid slugs would still be ineffective at any kind of stand off range since you're average space ship can move faster then what most think is the fastest possible speed a railgun could fire at (something like 6 kilometers a second). Plus the slugs are unguided so the ship has even more options for evade them. Also I'm having issues buying you can apparently riddle it with holes and yet it won't basically fall apart in a million pieces on atmospheric reentry... the hole that ripped the space shuttle apart was like the size of your fist for instance.


Of course, then there's the problem for why the hell they would have them in the first place. But from I've seen, you don't necessarily have to have a reason to build something. It's like the U.S: We don't really need the F-22A Raptor when we have the F-16 and F-15 able to do the job still.Acutally we do since the F-15 are 30 years old and nearly falling apart (many now operate under G limits because if pushed to hard they might literary fall apart in mid air). Plus the F-15 is actually inferior to many modern threat aircraft in terms of airframe (in electronic it still may have a slight edge) the F-22 is better at both AND cheaper to maintain going froward.

A huge rail gun oribtal defense grid... that's going to be a harder sell.


Well, yeah. I'll own up to it. I have no idea how big a TSAB warship is. I have no idea how close or far from a planet they'd be when observing it. I am not a gigantic sci-fi nerd, I don't know these things.The answer to the later could easily be "Somewhere around the next planets orbit" space being pretty damn empty is also pretty damn easy to look through they're is very little reason to get that close if you have a big telescope and a few antennae. It's also arguable they might have some kind of cloaking device against common modern sensors since no one seems to have noticed the big space cruisers orbiting earth for instance.

That's acutally canon for me they can jam and scramble most EM detection to the point of near invisibility. Which also forces them to attack each other close in... but I was just looking to explain the above, of course.


What kind of a crew would that hold? How big? What rank? This is 150 years ago, back during the TSAB's early days. Would the ships be bigger or smaller?Impossible to answer definitively, but probably not that big from what we see as the TSAB has some pretty advanced AI and we don't see tons of crewmen on any of their ships, in fact a handful on the bridge seem to be able to run it. This might be SLIGHTLY higher back then, but probably not that much I tended to peg it at the largest ships (nearly a kilometer long in my case) having naval crews of around 250 to 300,and some number of marines and possibly an air wing (if you use space fighters) for a total of like 500 to 750 people aboard, that's a battleship a cruiser would be smaller.

My idea was that gravity was forcing them to land on the planet anyway. With no way to break out of the gravitational field, they'd have to crash land.Orbits decay SLOW, unless they where accelerating into the feild it could take YEARS, even decades for them to decay out of even a medium orbit and into the atmosphere.

The fact was though they must still have had maneuvering power as nothing that size could do anything besides slam into the ground like a falling asteroid if it didn't. Actually that would be a serious risk a 500 meter long ship that didn't burn up and struck the ground after an uncontrolled orbital descent and then possibly exploded on impact would be disastrous we're taking energy levels into the thousand of megatons. Needless to say not only might you lose a small country, but you won't be finding much useful tech after that!

A controlled descent though implies they still had maneuvering power which they ought to be able to use to break lose from he gravity well and drift off into space or at least boost to an orbit so high it will take centuries for them to fall back in.


Jesus why do you have to get so pissed? The whole point was to throw something up and help me refine it into something workable, not to bite my head off for it. I'm sorry.Well I've always felt a quick verbal punch to the gut will get someone to listen better then dancing around for 5 pages trying not to offend anyone. It's good that you want to know about it, but some of this stuff could be done just by a little research or common sense.

Meh, produced, trained, I was getting at the same thing. That's why I said a whole bunch of shitty mages. Like... D rank. Or something. Maybe not even.I still find the idea of 90% of a population being able to be mages of any rank to be very unlikely.


I dunno, the TSAB seems arrogant enough (well Regius did anyway) that no matter what, they could pwn any threat with their 1337 ships and Enforcers and whatnot. So what if a backwater world threatens to pwn their homeworld? They have a fucking navy.

Same goes for losing one ship. One out of over nine-thousand. To the TSAB, the war was probably something like "oh hay a new ship let's test it out on this conflit over here".
Yeah they are... which is why if some upstart pissed them off they'd probably re neg on the treaty in a heartbeat and crush them BECAUSE they dared to threaten them at all they'd destroy them, that was sort of the point. They wouldn't sit and wait for them to build up they'd go out and rape them NOW.


The TSAB has really crappy methods of distributing forces. Really, if Precia was such a threat, why send one ship? If the Book of Darkness was so omfg powerful, why did they only send a handful of mages and ONE ship?
The first incident was time critical by the time it was at the point it might have justified a larger force they didn't have much choice, but to go for it.

The BOD though is far less forgivable indeed, the threat was clear from the start and yet as you said one ship was all that shows up indeed many of us have argued this handling was incompetent. That said if Graham hadn't fucked things up they MIGHT have still won with little damage... Plus they had a bunch of AAA or near S rank mages around, from what we see the force of Chrono, Nanoha, and Fate was already way more magical power then most units could hope to have and if mages ARE rare then it's possible they just didn't have a thousand of them to throw at the problem to begin with.


Which is why I set it way back, to the early days of the TSAB. The world had always been there, just not very important. I guess you could say that, strategically, it was useless.If it was THAT close and so low tech AND racked by war subjecting it shouldn't have been to hard in fact most of the people would have viewed this is as blessing most likely. I just find it unlikely a planet SO close to Mid would somehow not be brought into the TSAB in a 100+ years.


We don't know if Belka was actually a planet or not.
And also, I'm glad you said the same thing three times so I can tell you three times: I scrapped the time distortion idea.99% of evidence points to, no, it wasn't and fanon basically say as much definitively. As was said if Belka was another planet then that means they would both have had large war fleets up to 300 years ago... which makes the idea of this planet teching up to that level form modern day in less then 100 even more unlikely.


Then help me fix it. That's the entire point of me throwing it up there. Don't belittle me for it, help me fix it.



1776. America. Acutally that was pretty much Britain's most successful colony, hell THE most successful colony of pretty much anyone… It also had a population roughly one forth of Britain's at that time (a bit smaller gap then 1 planet vs. hundreds). It also had allies in the form of a power nearly as large as the enemy in France and it STILL mainly won by Britain going. “This totally isn’t worth the effort to hold anymore.” Also see 1812 where the US got a bit big for its birches and messed with Britain again and ended up getting Washington DC burned down…



Britain.If by stand off you mean "run the fuck away for years until France finally decides to start fucking with Britain during this moment of weakness" then sure we stood them off real good. I'm an American, but I'm smart enough to admit that without France the US dosen't exist. So sure if these guys can find another empire the size of the TSAB to ally with I can see them managing to do this... otherwise.


America haxed its way out of the British Empire.Acutally it begged and pleaded with another major power to help them get out and the other power agreed mainly to spite a hated rival by depriving them of a valuable asset. The idea of the Colonies fighting off the British with skill and superior force of armies is a myth, France was always what mattered even from the earliest days it was always known that unless France came in on our side we where pretty doomed baring some improbable miracle.

The British Empire held an area of probably over a hundred provinces too. I suck at history but whatever.Acutally the US was easily the most populous colony of Britain, so while they controlled allot of land in terms of population the US was a large part of their oversee holdings.

Small pissant nations have done it before to bigger ones. I'm not saying your wrong (hell I was agreeing with you above), Never without help from another large power which you won't get here, in fact that's a defining characteristic of all "guerrilla" type movements, a large outside sponsor/safe area. Without that they fail very quickly.

but you seem hell bent on flaming the hell out of everything I've mentioned. Why do you hate so much?
I'm hell bent on flaming incorrect and bad Ideas, I don't really care who is purposing them you at all you seem alright actually, but that won't stop me from destroying your (or anyone else's) arguments if I think they're wrong though.


Then help me fix it? Please? Is that asking too much? These are the changes I’d make to keep some of the same idea:

1-The ship isn’t shot down it crashes after some kind of accident or another battle, the TSAB doesn’t come around because they don’t know what happened to it it’s effectively lost in space. This happens quite awhile ago perhaps around the time of the TSAB founding. This gives time for some teching without any time manipulation or force field bull crap.
2- The planet isn’t even near Mid it’s out past the fringes in an inhabited but barely explored region.
3- The TSAB dose find it many years later and notes it’s oddly similar tech and realizes what happened, at this point it dose perhaps attempt to get them to join the TSAB, and this could spark a conflict, but that conflict is like just them going “fuck you!” and shooting at the TSAB ships a bit which then withdraw.
4- The TSAB then basiclly says, “well they’re pretty small and pretty far away and they have just enough forces that we’d need to expend a bit of effort to conquer them… eh not worth it monitor, but ignore.”
5- Now they would obviously not see it that way and would probably keep rearming and such using the “TSAB menace” as pretense.

Same effect a sort of one sided cold war, but none of this time warping or shield bull crap. Of course this planet wouldn’t stand a chance in an actual war with the TSAB, but that only makes sense as one planet could never muster the force necessary to rumble with something hundred of times it size. If that’s what you want then these guys are going to have to go interplanetary and be moved even further out so they can establish a decent sized empire to actually have a chance to fight with the TSAB.

I did this actually I have a foreign opposing government planned, but as I said it’s also composed of dozens or even low hundreds of planets (still smaller then the TSAB), and it also didn’t use TSAB tech in fact it evolved pretty much in parallel with but along a slightly different track over centuries before it even became aware of the TSAB.

Phew:
No onto the other backlog...

Trial : Graveyard Digger

This last trial is a trial that you will never remember. But it is a trial that is made by that person's free choice and will.

You will have a dream you can never recall. A dream that chips away your mind, as within this dream that kills you by the seconds, you dig your grave in your own world, forced by yourself.

The only way to survive this trial is for the one you love, or the one whom is closest to your heart to enter that dream that only she can see, but not you.

And die for you. And at that moment, the grave you've built will be filled with that person's corpse, as that one's agony, love and sorrow for you at their moment of death will be instilled permanently in your heart and memories for eternity.

This is a trial that you never knew how it started, and you will never know if it'll ever end. Because to live through it... That is the trial.

Magic is rare? I rather doupt it. Magic may hav been noted as rare, but that's on earth. Tiana was even surprised when the forwards learned earth had a very low magical civilization, sugesting that magic is far more common on Mid-Childa at least. We can't start throwing out numbers for Mid-Childa (as quite frankly, we don't have any) but to say magic is rare is quite disputable.

There's a huge difference between magic civilization and magic potency. Mid-childa is definitely a planet based off such civilization, and Al-hazred is clearly a magi-tech civilization of the highest standards, but that doesn't mean that the bulk of their people are magic practitioners. There just need to be enough for it to not be UMA rare.

However, as StrikerS shows, it's not extremely rare itself either. RF6 itself has several mages, which aren't combat-personnel, as shown during the raid, with the generic device users. But 90% is probably pushing it.

:uhoh: indeed. :uhoh:

And she's one hot-blooded justice fighter, FYI. :uhoh:

:eek:

You mean... like MAY LEE!?

http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/a/a5/200px-Maylee-p.jpg

Ep19 at 22:38. Also, consider that it was buried on Midchilda. If the Ancient Belka civilization wasn't on Mid, it meant the Cradle would have to get to Mid first. If there was a sustained conflict between AB and Mid just prior to the rise of the Three of the TSAB High Council, as implied in ep14 or 15, it means they were evenly matched in military capability at the time. Otherwise, one side would have been crushed quickly. If Mid and AB were on seperate worlds, they would have sophisticated space technology by the end of the conflict.
Still, it seems almost certain that Ancient Belka "lost" that war in the end. They're the ones with an SAR while the rest of the planet belongs to Midchilda's civilization.

I find it unlikely that Belka wasn't on Mid though. Even before Vivio was found out to be a Belka-Sei-Oh, Yuuno had already cited the possibility that the prophecy refers to Cradle. Unless there was detailed citings of Cradle falling to Mid 300 years ago and stuff like that, it seems more likely that even though Belka separated off Mid, it didn't separate itself off the planet of Mid-childa.

But-but...

I'm a guy! *despair*.

Anything you could suggest would be awesome. Like I said, I'm ignorant of most of the ways the Nanoverse works: it's been ages since I've seen the first or second seasons, and last time I ran through StrikerS was when yesy finished 26. I've never seen/heard about the Sound Stages till I joined here, and except for a few 4komas, I didn't realize how rabid the fanbase was ;) .

On the other hand, I'm from the Evangelion fanbase, who's average otaku will eat your soul for so much as looking at Eva funny.

Which is why Tk and the likes give their criticism.

As for fanbase of Nanoha, there's the 300 of us, sane logical NxY supporters...

...and then there's the rabid millions of lost-cause NxF shippers...

...not forgetting the lone hero in between...

(>_> @ Nighty)

:p

While people go on about NxF or Nanoferret...

I am taking the cheap way out of this. Momoko and Shiro with grown children ftw.

Er... whut? :confused:

2007-11-03, 01:19
Well, massive automation can well mean that you would be operating a 500 meter ship with a crew less than 200. I hate to say it, but Nanohaverse has left a terribly vague setting regarding space combat!

You could give a rough estimate however, on the size of ship. Remember the Cradle? The sheer scale of it is kilometer classed, and I take that it is about as large as ships get in Nanohaverse.


Regarding reverse engineering... the task of even reconstructing ancient machines is very difficult for us. The Antikythera Mechanism, which was basically 'only' cogs and wheels took scientists more then a century of research to come to its current 'best guess' at how it would've been like. Trying to figure out what is centuries ahead of current science... I can only fathom the difficulties.


Momoko and Shiro is canonical pairing to the point of axiom btw, sealed with marriage and 3 kids.

If Hayate was more like Yang Wenli, the cradle would've just been let up to Midchilda orbit, let Scaglietti ride it as his party van, and you can use Kirchis's method (Zephyr), or Yang's method (Ice missile, hoo~), or Yang's tricks with Iserlohn even... so long as you can just go 'screw it' with staying over central Midchilda.

Aside from killing Zerglings(:heh:), Jeno's job would involve assassinations and other operations that would would involve degrees up to genocide level as well I suppose. She won't have an idea on that but knowing he is willing is good enough.

It never ceases to crack me up at how NFers deal and react to... threats. :rolleyes:

Their logic and rationale never fails to amuse me either. :rolleyes:

Don't be put off by Tk. He's a tsundere type, so the harder he bites, the more he cares. :heh:

I've not much clue of how to help, as I've turned the Saint Church into something so much more than canon intended so... I'll leave it to Tk. :nod:Oi, Oi who you calling tsundere! Their ain't nothin dere about me!:mad:

Tomoya: He's serious about it. So answer him back seriously too.

Kagerou: No wait... Um... I don't think I would be asked by a guy...

Sunohara: Why does gender matter? I think what matters is the passion! :)

Tomoya: Looks like you can say good stuff once in a blue moon. :D

Sunohara: Since deep down in my heart I'm a good guy. :cool:

Trial : Graveyard Digger

This last trial is a trial that you will never remember. But it is a trial that is made by that person's free choice and will.

You will have a dream you can never recall. A dream that chips away your mind, as within this dream that kills you by the seconds, you dig your grave in your own world, forced by yourself.

The only way to survive this trial is for the one you love, or the one whom is closest to your heart to enter that dream that only she can see, but not you.

And die for you. And at that moment, the grave you've built will be filled with that person's corpse, as that one's agony, love and sorrow for you at their moment of death will be instilled permanently in your heart and memories for eternity.

This is a trial that you never knew how it started, and you will never know if it'll ever end. Because to live through it... That is the trial.

That...makes me shiver just reading it. It's like that "trial" stuff earlier...but worse.

And this is coming from someone who can think this kind of stuff without missing a beat. Damn. I smell twisted dreams tonight...

*Stares at movie in his DVD rack*
*Raises hand*

Durrhurr. Big fan of the show. *Grin* It's got comedy and GAR and stuffs.


I don't know about GAR, but comedy's good :D

And this movie, was pretty good-to-okay for what it is... ;)


A script delivered with so much passion and feeling :nod:

Jeno: "Now you get it... Wait, 'delivered'? Argh shi-!!!"



Finding a pic that fits your image is another matter :heh:


You'll be fine :p

I found 3-4 images of Spica :p



Haven't seen that one :heh:


It's rather good... For what it is :heh:

small highlights?


- Beastboy was called an 'Otaku' by a catgirl :heh: ("What is that? I hope it means cute... :love:")

- And finally Robin/Starfire romance that actually follows through :D



The kiss was scripted too then? :D

Jeno: "YYYYYYeeeaaaahhhh... >.>"


I've been thinking about the beauty contest...



Finding good ones are, finding specific images mean lots of trouble. :eyespin:

Sometimes, you have to just go for 80% match and fill up the rest with photoshop or the words "Something-like-that" :heh:



Aside from killing Zerglings(:heh:), Jeno's job would involve assassinations and other operations that would would involve degrees up to genocide level as well I suppose. She won't have an idea on that but knowing he is willing is good enough.


Assassination? Don't expect another professional though, they're going for high profile... Erm, I mean alots of big explosions :heh:



I'm going to be late. :heh: Finding exactly what I want has been pure :eyespin::eyespin: so far.

And I found my visual image of Katrina probably came from this:

Slow saturdays are SLOW T_T

Before I begin, let me apologize for apparently offending people. Tk spoke a lot of sense (referring to the multi-part quote below), but he also seemed to take it personally. Yes, I am extremely ignorant of how shit like time-space warping and how fast an inter-dimensional can travel. I was hoping to be helped out here, not bombarded with "OMG HAX". The whole point of my discussion is how to turn it into less hax, as I myself am extremely against hax.

Don't worry about it, a few people tend to take hax personally but since there are alot of misunderstanding cases here...:heh:

Here's part one of Almaria's profile.:)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/USSKenji64296/Almaria.jpg

Name: Almaria Corvette
Nickname: Prancing Pistol Princess
Callsign: Spectrum 4
Gender: Female
Age: 18 (17 years prior to StrikerS)
Birthday: 29th March in the Earth Calendar
Occupation: TSAB Enforcer (17 years ago). Now deceased.
Rankings: Registered mage ranking: Air mage: AAA+
Height: 5’8”
Weight: 126 lbs.
Eyes: Light Blue
Hair: Lavender. Similar but longer compared to Hayate’s hair
Figure: Slender
Magic Style: Mid-Childa
Magic Color: Lavender
Usual wear: A thick long-sleeved white cotton blouse, a black skirt that reaches slightly above the knees, short white socks and a pair of soft boots
Specialization: Ranged combat
Device: Altair (Intelligent Device)
Seiyuu: Atsuko Enomoto

Profile: A very calm, quiet and level-headed person. Almaria was a childhood friend of Aurion. They grew up together at the same orphanage. She recruited in TSAB four months after Aurion does. She had about as much, or possibly even more talent than Aurion, quickly catching up with him in rank despite the difference in their time of enlisting. She got transferred from the Air Force to the Navy a full year before Aurion did, becoming an elite Ace of the Naval Forces in TSAB while Aurion became an Ace of the Air Forces. She was well known for her distinctively graceful combat style. She and Aurion became an item the year when he transferred to the Navy and became an Enforcer as well. Her last position before her untimely demise was as Spectrum 4 of the Spectral Enforcers.

Personality: As mentioned earlier, she is a very benign person; rarely ever seen angry. And even when angry, she’s almost just as quiet as ever. However, there’s a noticeable aura of light hostility at those times. Despite her quietness, she’s actually quite confident and can carry herself with dignity almost all of the time. She was actually the subject of attraction for many males in the Division (despite her tender age), but she never gave them much notice. She almost always uses –‘san’ when addressing anyone, only dropping the honorific when around Aurion. She’s rarely ever seen without her, as several people say, ‘charmingly gentle smile’. She was also very helpful and gracious to the people around her.

Despite her commendable poise, she is extremely uncomfortable with any physical contact with almost anyone; with only some rare exceptions like children. She’s also slightly claustrophobic, as she loves being able to move freely without any restraints. At times, she spaces out and sways slightly on the spot whilst humming when doing nothing; needing a poke or two to shake her out of her stupor. She likes small animals (even snakes, crocodiles and other non-pet animals) but gets nervous around big ones. Her cooking skills are good, though she oftentimes falls into her humming-swaying daze while cooking food with long cooking times, resulting in burnt dishes. Suffice to say, she’s an excellent soldier, but becomes a bit of a klutz with more mundane tasks.

As a fighter, she is frighteningly efficient and can land killing blows without batting an eyelash. However, she has a habit of whispering “Gomenasai…” before a kill, and she also enters a state of incredible sadness after such acts, praying for the souls of those whose lives she took. She does not like killing, but understood that she had duties as a soldier. She sometimes cries in her sleep because of this.

Interestingly, she’s the only person whom the then antisocial Aurion seemed to act relaxed around; even to the extent of smiling constantly and teasing her. And what’s even more interesting was the fact that she acted ‘so enthrallingly cute that you’ll get woozy just watching her’ around him, highlighting the fact of the close bond they shared as childhood friends. They also like sparring against each other. The last score is 35-32 in Aurion’s favor. Aurion is also the only person Almaria willingly has physical contact with. (Non-risqué, mind you. Just the friendly physical intimacy like clinging to his arm and such.)


To make things clearer, about just how they interact, here are some instances…
a) Almaria would uncharacteristically boast about being one year older than Aurion.
b) Aurion actually being completely laid-back. This was an absolute rarity in those times.
c) Almaria actually being whiney and “fatally cute” according to her admirers.
d) Aurion actually being actively competitive for once.

And the list goes on…


Relationships: She was well-known as a very approachable person; and was very popular with plenty of admirers. She was exceptionally close with Aurion, where most people noted that the two of the ‘changes dramatically’ in demeanor around each other. There was once a person who said, “Corvette and Dauer… One, a very delicate but resilient flower, the other a steadfast and silent barricade; but when you put them together, one will see a most amazing bond between them. Their normally professional exteriors melts away to reveal an unrealistically ideal pair, but also just as deadly as they are close to each other. They don’t express their bond in the usual way of almost constant physical contact or exchanging sweet words, but just seeing them close to each other almost radiates a glow mutual perception… The perfect partners of hope to comrades and death to enemies.” It should be noted that this person was deadpanned by a nonchalant Aurion while Almaria blushed furiously at the comment.

Poetry aside, they were really an almost perfect pair; both as people and as combatants. They worked practically flawlessly when in tandem, even at one time defeating two more-experienced S-ranked opponents despite the difference in rank, power and skill. Their abilities in combat as a pair was unbelievably good, one being a tactical and systematic aggressor and the other being a graceful range-attacker; both functioning as a single harmonized entity; almost as if having the same mind. Their lack of any melee specialization almost meant nothing when one sees them, as they support each other so well that they seemed to have a counter for just about anything, even covering flaws that both of them shared. In fact, they just worked TOO well as a team that it was almost inhuman. When asked, Almaria only said:

“Uhmm… I’m not really sure why… I just know what Aurion will do when we work together… And I’m sure the same applies for him…” *blushes* “I never felt such a sure and secure connection with anyone… whether it be mental or spiritual…”*smiles* “It’s very… reassuring.”

This was quite an oddity by those times; seeing as they seemed to be connected so well to the extent that they can actually feel each other’s presence when they are in similar locations… Some tests were run on the two, yet nothing out of the ordinary was found.

They spend their birthdays (which falls on the same date) together if possible; opting for a simple lunch or anything of the sort. It was actually the reason why they got acquainted. They were always like that since childhood, being clueless about the teasing chides of the older children around them. Aurion caught up with the meaning of the innuendo before Almaria, but wasn’t bothered and opted to let Almaria find out for herself for a good laugh later. Needless to say, Almaria spent a good time of the day with her flushed face buried in her hands upon realization. This habit continued until they became Enforcers, incurring the wrath of many of her suitors. Aurion pretty much expertly blew thru the irate hopefuls in a single swipe, as shown here; a scenario directly after their little birthday-date. (also around the time of Aurion just being transferred into the Naval Forces)


“Oi! You! What the hell do you think you’re doing, being around our lovely Almaria-chan so much?”

The lavender-haired girl spun around with a slightly flustered expression, “Radom-san? What are you saying?”

“Ah, nothing much. It’s just that we’ve noticed that that snotty new member has been hanging around you for too long!”

“But-”

“No buts!”

Aurion follows suit, turning around and staring at the group of older men approaching. ‘So these are you’re fans, huh? And one is even a rank higher than you. I never thought you’d get this popular, Almaria…’ he comments telepathically while giving a sideways glance to the girl in question.

Almaria turns to glare at her blue-haired companion, ‘Stop teasing me! Mou~! Aurion, please don’t get in trouble with them…’ She turns back to the approaching group of males and positions herself slightly in front of her companion, “I was just showing the new member around.”

‘So the lunch-date was part of showing me around, huh?’
‘Aurion!’
‘Happy birthday again.’

With a small smirk, Aurion strides forward a bit and stands beside Almaria, “I am indeed a new member here in the Naval Forces. Yoroshiku, sempai.” He then bows slightly, quickly raising back his head to dodge as a finger almost struck his nose.

“Private Radom!”

“Just initiation, my sweet.”

“D-datte-”

‘Oh shush, Almaria. Let me handle this.’

‘Aurion…’

“Now…” refocusing his stare at the obvious leader of the little troupe, “Have I somehow violated one of your policies here, sempai?” he tilts his head slightly, “It would seem that I have made a number of you irate for some reason…”

The leader snorts and clamps his right hand on Aurion’s left shoulder, staring in with a smug expression, “Nothing much, newbie. We just noticed that you’ve been taking up too much of Enforcer Corvette’s time with just your-”
“R-radom-san!”
“I know, I know. He’s just exceptionally clueless that he needed some extra time for the tour of the Naval base.”
“T-that’s not-!”
“It’s okay, Almaria-sempai.”
“Ah-?”
‘Be quiet now.’
‘Aurion! What are you planning?’
“See?! Even he knows his place.”

“Indeed, I might have overstepped my authority.” Aurion replies with an expressionless tone, “I just wasn’t able to resist the urge to talk with a long-time acquaintance…”

Radom’s eyebrow twitches, “Teme…” his vice-grip on Aurion’s shoulder tightening, but not even drawing the slightest reaction from the younger male, “Just who the hell are you?”

“Me?” Aurion reaches up with his right hand and holds the other male’s wrist with two fingers, “My name is Aurion Dauer.”

*SNAP!*

“ARGH!”

“BOSS!”

Radom leaps back and grabs his hurt wrist, shock at the sudden damage inflicted on it. His companions could only gape in surprise at the sudden injury of their leader.

A salute follows, “A transfer air-mage from the TSA Air Division. As of today, immediate, an Enforcer of the TSA Navy Division.”

“YOU PIECE OF SHIT!” he rears back and punches with his left, which is slapped downward by the hand used for the salute. Aurion simply steps two paces backward to avoid the rest of the attack.

“Please stop!” Almaria interposes herself between the two, her arms outstretched. ‘AURION!’ she cries hysterically at her companion’s mind, ‘I told you not to get in trouble!’

‘I won’t be.’
‘Baka!’
‘That’s cruel.’

“Out of the way, Private Corvette!” a seething Radom growls.

“P-please stop this, Ra-”

“That’s an ORDER!”

“Isn’t that abusing you’re authority, sempai?” Aurion comments casually.

“BASTARD! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?!?!”

“Private 1st class, Canter Radom.” came the reply, “Currently a member of Mobile Unit 35 of the Enforcer Battalion.” He once again resumes his salute, “I’ll be looking forward to working with you and the others…” he digs an I.D. card from his pocket and shows it to the others, “-as your Sergeant-in-charge.”

“………………”

A deafening silence pervaded the room as everybody was rendered speechless by the revelation.

“S-sergeant?”

“Why yes.” Aurion replies with a mirthless smile, “While my first meeting with the squad I’ll be in wasn’t in such favorable terms, I hope we can work well in the future. Once again, yoroshiku.”

Radom could only stare stupidly at the younger boy, his mouth opening and closing like that of a fish outside water.

“A-Aurion…”

‘The promotion was supposed to be a surprise.’

“Ka- geh- M-my apolgies, Sergeant!” Radom sputters as he tried to bow properly.

“Nevermind.” Aurion brusquely interjects, “I’ll let this act of misconduct slide. Provided it be not repeated in the future.”

“Roger! Damn snotty bra-”

“Snotty brat?”

“N-nothing!”

Aurion huffs lightly and drapes an arm over Almaria’s shoulders, causing the girl to jolt a bit and look up at him in surprise, “Wha-?”

“I’ll let it slide since I’ll be breaking certain rules as well…”

“Huh?”

“I haven’t finished my introduction…”

“Au-”

“I am also-”

“rion.”

“Almaria’s boyfriend.”

A collective,”WHAT?!?!” echoes around the room, with Almaria staring at Aurion with a shocked and flushed expression.

“S-sonna!”

“I-impossible!”

“Sergeant! This is just a joke, right?”

Aurion simply stared back blankly, “This is not a joke.”

“A-almaria! This can’t-”

“A-anou… etou…” Almaria could only mutter from her blushing, her mind being a mess. She couldn’t even muster the necessary willpower to interrogate Aurion telepathically.

Aurion dealt the trump, “Yatte-” his hand slides down- “-miru ka?” (Want to bet on it?) -and settles comfortably on Almaria’s waist, earning an audible gasp from the lavender-haired girl and a most stupid collection of shocked expressions from the other males. Aurion looks sideways into Almaria’s eyes, sending a single question to her mind, ‘Is it fine with you?’

Almaria only gazed back in awe. But slowly, her slightly opened mouth closes… and forms into a most charming smile as an expression of happiness glows on her face. She giggles and faces the others and declares with barely contained joy, still blushing attractively, “Hai! What he said is true!”

At that moment, a flash of lightning came and turned every other male aside from Aurion in the corridor to stone, expressions of disbelief, horror and despair etched eternally (well, not really…) onto their faces.

“……………………”

A gust of wind that came from nowhere blows past; driving along a horribly out of place dust ball…

“Shall I escort you to your room, Almaria?”

“Ah… Hai!”

The two of them turn around and walk away, Aurion’s arm draped over Almaria’s shoulders. Their conversation could still be heard.

“Not exactly the most ideal of confessions… But it also kills more birds with one stone, don't you think?”

“Aurion~! You have zero romantic sense at all!”

“Any tips?”

“No. That’s what I like about you…”

A random high-ranking officer passes and notices the petrified group, “What’s wrong with you people?! Get a move on!”

The statues of stone came slowly back to life and grunted their assent, moving back to their respective quarters in common fits of despair…

~~~~~~~~~~~

On the way to their quarters, they were lucky enough to be alone… Walking contentedly side-by-side.

The girl broke the comfortable silence, as she stares up at her self-proclaimed- No. Genuine boyfriend, her face blushing lightly, “You sure have a strange way of asking me to be you girlfriend…”

The boy only smirked and stated simply, “I pride with my methods of minimal quandaries with maximum efficiency. Besides, I also got rid of those pesky ephebophilic loons that are obviously after your skirt when you get older.”

Her gaze turns into a glare as her blush intensifies, “I appreciate your concern… But actually declaring it while sexually harassing me in front of them is not something I would call decent as well!”

“Sexual harassment?” Aurion replies with a raised eyebrow, “Don’t be ridiculous. Though it does make sense; seeing that even a simple pat on your shoulder already counts as molesting for you.”

“Chigau! I just feel very uncomfortable when people touch me.”

“I’m touching you right now.”

“W-well… Since it’s you… Ah, mou~!” she shakes her head several times in embarrassment, “Anyway, not many people can somehow not make me feel uncomfortable with this…”

“Good. It leaves more of you for me, then.”

“AURION!”

“Hahahaha!”

“Baka!”

“Ow…”

“……”

“……”

“Congratulations on the promotion, by the way, Sergeant~!” Almaria says while giggling

“Thanks. You should also hurry up and get promoted over that loudmouthed Private back there as well.”

“I would. But unlike you, I like to take things slowly.” She then giggles and sticks out her tongue.

“…………………………”

Upon reaching the entrance to Almaria’s room, the both of them stop walking. Aurion looks down sideways at his companion, the normal edge in his gaze being replaced by a look of fondness as Almaria uncharacteristically leans in to the one-armed embrace; a gesture that was an absolute rarity from someone like her; a gesture that proves more than any mere words of the bond she shared with him; a gesture of acceptance; of affection…

Light azure meets ebon as she stares up fondly at his eyes and smiles, “Ne, Aurion…”

“Hmm?”

“I missed you…” she murmurs softly as her eyes starts to moisten with unrestrained emotion, “It just wasn’t the same when you’re not here… I felt so alone… even when surrounded by such kind and friendly people… even with Altair…”

“Mattaku.” Aurion sighs as he lightly tightens his hold on her, “Almaria… you just turned 17 today and you’re still being clingy… Who’s supposed to be the senior here, Onee-chan?”

“Uu~” comes a light indignant moan as she buries her face onto his uniform, “And you’re still being a mean little brother as always.” She sniffles a little, “You should show me some respect since I’m one year older…”

“A year older but about five years behind in terms of maturity…”

“Uu~… Aurion, hidoi~…”

“Hehehe… Sorry… Do you want me to change my attitude as another birthday gift? …Since I took more than my fair share by claiming you as my girlfriend today.”

“…… Uhn…”

“I’ll change it, then?”

“No, you won’t.” she replies as her arms wrap tightly around his midsection, “I like you because of what you are; both you’re good and the bad traits are what makes the Aurion that I adore.” her whispers through the folds of the fabric were soft, but very clear… “If you want to give me a present that I like…” her hug tightens, “Then promise me… that you won’t be away from me like that ever again… okay?”

“I’ll try.” Aurion replies as he lowers his head onto her thick mane of hair and inhales deeply, taking in her distinctly sweet fragrance, the smell of lavender, just like the color of her hair. “No, I definitely will.” A most rare smile appears on his face, “I kinda miss this…” his other arm encircles her slender body as well, completing the tender exchange of affection. Affection that grew along with them as children to what they are now; and one that will grow stronger as time passes… “I’ll be looking forward to working together with you and Altair again, Almaria…”

“I will enjoy with you and Vega as well… Aurion…” is her reply as they held each other in a peaceful embrace, staying that way for several more minutes. The two of them savored each other's comforting presence, a presence which both of them sorely missed. Several minutes later, Almaria raises her head with an adoring gaze and a fond smile… A look that held more meaning than any other time before…

Silence reigned the area as the girl stands on tiptoe and…

……………………………

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<afterwards…>

~~~~~~~~~~~

“Good night.”

“Yeah, see you.”

~~~~~~~

<The door closes>

~~~~~~

~Almaria~

“……”

[It’s good to see you’re smiling again, my Mistress.]

“Thank you, Altair…” Almaria giggles, “From here on, let’s do our best and work together as a perfect team with Aurion and your sister, ne?”

[Understood.]

~~~~~~

~Aurion~

“Hehehe…”

[You look so happy now, Master.]

“Of course I am. Why wouldn’t I be, Vega?”

[I do not see any variables that would state otherwise.]

“Hehe… You got reunited with your brother too. Aren’t you glad?”

[I am incapable of emulating human emotions. But I can say seeing Altair again is indeed a good thing.]

“There you have it.”

~~~~~

This is…

Certainly…

My best birthday yet…




I hope I conveyed the scenario properly...:heh: There are some plotholes... But I just attributed it to some leniency, considering it's TSAB.:heh: Almaria came out just fine for me. But I do hope that this Aurion feels different in nature compared to the current one... Though it still felt lacking...:upset: Comments?:uhoh::heh::)

Expect the next part in a few days.:D

She also held a lot of respect for the researcher, Reban Innova; who was responsible for bringing her and Aurion into TSAB service in the first place. She and Aurion both seem to feel a strangely calming aura around the elderly man. This person is also the one responsible for creating Aurion and Almaria’s custom devices, namely Vega and Altair. She considers the Spectral Enforcers as the family she never had.


Barrier Jacket: She was a most noticeable figure in the Spectral Enforcers, owing to the fact that her Barrier Jacket was the only one that wasn’t an offshoot of the standard Enforcer BJ design. Her outfit contained a mostly rosy white sleeved vest with lavender accents that reaches a few inches down her waist. Her arms had lightly decorated bracers, the hands having black fingerless gloves with white knuckle-guards and her combat boots were of the lightweight type and that reached halfway up her calves. Both bracers and boots had similar color schemes to her vest. Her legs were adorned with black cycling shorts that reached halfway down her thighs. She had it designed specifically to allow her maximum mobility and flexibility during combat.

Unsurprisingly, the outfit also had the added effect (actually a nuisance, according to Aurion) of drawing the eyes of the males in then male-dominated Naval Corps. Almaria, despite being a tad embarrassed, amiably brushed off the minor irritant as irrelevant when compared to the performance boost she obtains in such a design.



Device: Intelligent Device: Altair:

http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/3502/blackholelaserpistolhv7.jpg

One of the two specialized experimental devices made by the researcher Reban Innova; the other being Aurion’s Vega. It takes the form of an energy pistol with two opposable barrels. It is outfitted with the then uncommonly used cartridge system, housing up to four cartridges at a time. It had design specifics that were only known to Reban. The A.I. has a young and polite male voice. Regarding its other specs, it has a high amount of targeting and control-amplification capability. Reban claimed that Altair and Vega would only work in their best potential when used by Almaria and Aurion; and this turned out to be true. Its portable mode takes the form of an A-shaped pendant attached to a beaded necklace.



Fighting Style: As mentioned above, her fighting style is like distinctively graceful trance. Where she seems to be simply swaying and dipping gracefully; very much like dancing whilst firing precision shots. Her movements are elegant as she seemingly weaves through attacks at a hairsbreadth of hitting her. Her barriers are impressively maneuverable, being able to deflect smaller shots and even acts as makeshift springboards if she needs to dodge quickly. Her most impressive magical skill though has to be her attacks. She oftentimes fire off moderate to high-power projectiles that are almost always quite small but have high precision and power. During close-quarters combat, when enough of these shots are in the air, an area of ten meters around her becomes an equally beautiful and deadly projectile-saturated zone. In this stage, she fully enters a trance where she dances inside the projectile deathzone, almost assuring that anybody else trapped there without suitable defenses is defeated in short order. Her degree of control over her shots is heightened by Altair’s specialized design, allowing her to control several dozen projectiles while still moving with apparent ease. Even to the point that she actually shoots herself with the controlled bullets, dodging them at the last second and making them hit her opponents instead; essentially using her own body as the enemy’s blind spot. The Lavender orbs of energy shifts at varying speeds, shifting and swirling, creating a tantalizing sight to behold.

Aurion seems to be the only person to be able to handle her techniques easily, seeing as how he usually works with her style every time they are fighting together. Not being an outright offensive mage, he tends to use pinpoint tactical shots on certain spots that allow him to stage a multi-step surgical strike. This exchange either ends up in Aurion getting hit by multiple projectiles and losing or managing to capture Almaria in a bind or hitting her with a high-knockdown power shot that ruins her mobility and eventually her trance, essentially winning the match (Aurion has been seen to defend well against Almaria’s bullets when she loses concentration). Amusingly, she gets mad at some instances where Aurion wins. Not because of the fact that she loses, but because Aurion always ends the said matches with binds on her, which she dislikes. Aurion does not change this style due to the facts that it’s one of the most efficient way in dealing against her ‘dances’ and also just to irritate her; even going as far as not releasing her for a few minutes even after the sparring has ended.

Her performance becomes several times more impressive when paired with Aurion. The two of them seems to share a strange connection that allows them to work together like a single entity. The extent of their compatibility is so great that when teamed up, they can take on enemies that exceed their overall prowess. Despite the number of Almaria’s bullets and Aurion’s illusions, they never slip in their synch and functions amazingly well.

Going by standard analysis, Almaria has the more powerful Linker Core of the two. Her focus is primarily on agile offense, preferring several lower-powered shots over high-power singular ones. However, Aurion has a noticeably faster casting time and slightly more powerful attacks than her. Her defenses are relatively decent. However, she is a bit lacking on the tactical aspects of combat, due to her reliance on her relatively omni-directional offense capabilities to cover her blind spots. This is the field where Aurion clearly trumps her aside from having better defense and speed.

Her trigger phrase is, “Burst!”

Her performance becomes several times more impressive when paired with Aurion. The two of them seems to share a strange connection that allows them to work together like a single entity. The extent of their compatibility is so great that when teamed up, they can take on enemies that exceed their overall prowess. Despite the number of Almaria’s bullets and Aurion’s illusions, they never slip in their synch and functions amazingly well.

Going by standard analysis, Almaria has the more powerful Linker Core of the two. Her focus is primarily on agile offense, preferring several lower-powered shots over high-power singular ones. However, Aurion has a noticeably faster casting time and slightly more powerful attacks than her. Her defenses are relatively decent. However, she is a bit lacking on the tactical aspects of combat, due to her reliance on her relatively omni-directional offense capabilities to cover her blind spots. This is the field where Aurion clearly trumps her aside from having better defense and speed.

Her trigger phrase is, “Burst!”

Profile: A silent and brooding person. A childhood friend, and also Almaria’s boyfriend. Was recruited into TSAB four months before Almaria. He proved to be a very talented and diligent trainee, gaining favor from the infamous Instructor Austin Abrams of the Air Force due to his commendable grit and fortitude even under the harshest of trainings. He rose fairly quickly along the ranks, earning the title of an Ace at fourteen years of age. Despite his age, he was notoriously famous for his oftentimes heartless method against opponents. He first killed a person when he was 13. He got transferred into the Navy a year after Almaria, becoming Spectrum 3 of the Spectral Enforcers. This would be his last position before the Perfect Void Incident and retiring from the army.


Personality: Serious, taciturn and a bit tactless. The Aurion from seventeen years ago can be considered worlds apart from the current one. He’s generally courteous, but can be a terrible adversary when angered. His nature as a child is rather dubious, only having a very small social circle. He finds it difficult to trust other people, initially only trusting Almaria. He prefers the company of higher-ranked and generally older people, having a large amount of respect for several of them. His peers were rather wary of him, and his attitude did little to help quell the cautious regards. Regardless, he was clear-headed and has a soft spot for kids. He generally talks with others in a polite but emotionless tone. He had a lot of interest in Device-mechanics, and took his free time as an occasional assistant to the researcher and Device-manufacturer, Reban Innova.

On a more positive note, he has somewhat lightened up through the years, thanks to the influence of other members of the Spectral Enforcers; although his abilities of sarcasm has also grown. As a soldier, he is considered to be a workaholic. To further this point, he also had a bad habit of pushing himself too much when work is involved. He's also very frugal about mundane tasks. His things are usually kept orderly. He can cook if need be, but he never bothers in making the dishes attractive. He has a bit of a soft spot for children, especially orphans such as himself. He also gets rather embarrassed when subjected to doting by elderly people.

His moral code was very utilitarian, as he had no qualms about killing a few to save several others. Almaria was very worried of this fact, remembering that Aurion was quite disturbed after his first time in killing a person. This is also the reason why he got the moniker, "Ace of the Heartless." He got his other nickname, "Hell's Inquisitor"; from the fact that he uses Willbreaker coupled with moderate to extreme physical torture when interrogating captured opponents. His main reasoning for being such is protecting those who are important to him and preventing more children like him in following the same fate.

I'm already a killer... But it doesn't matter. As long as those kids I know never end up like me. If I have to throw away my conscience in dealing with threats, so be it! Better me than them! Even if I've already become a demon, at least I'm sure I'm still able to protect what are important to me.

The only person whom Aurion seems to be completely relaxed around is Almaria. Even to the extent of taking an almost 180 degree turn in disposition. This includes actually being laid back and smiling constantly; as well as teasing her. Even when around other people, he never bothers to hide this change. Likewise, he was the only person the normally mature and professional Almaria acted completely relaxed and 'cute' with; most notably being comfortable in physical contact with him. They also like sparring with each other, with the score 35-32 in Aurion's favor.



Relationships: Needless to say, Aurion was an antisocial and cold individual to strangers. Even towards acquaintances, he rarely ever talks with them with complete sincerity, save for Almaria and some other people he respects. Gil Graham, Austin Abrams and the researcher named Reban Innova are some of the few people he holds complete respect for. The person he is closest to is without a doubt, Almaria. The reason for this stems back to when he was four... Almaria was the only person who bothered trying to talk and make friends with him, reasoning that they had the same birthday so they should at least get along well. Curiously, there was something more to their closeness than just being long-time acquaintances... A strange link that was forged between them ever since that day; allowing them a limited but accurate mutual perception. The reason behind this remains a mystery up to this day.

With that aside, his first ever, and only childhood friend was Almaria. She acted like a big sister to him, sometimes getting a reversal of roles in some circumstances. They complemented each other very well, one being stiff and emotionless while the other was bright and cheerful. As they grew up, their relationship only got stronger; culminating into being an item after one year of separation in service of TSAB.

They were really an almost perfect pair; both as people and as combatants. They worked practically flawlessly when in tandem, even at one time defeating two more-experienced S-ranked opponents despite the difference in rank, power and skill. Their abilities in combat as a pair was unbelievably good, one being a tactical and systematic aggressor and the other being a graceful range-attacker; both functioning as a single harmonized entity; almost as if having the same mind. Their lack of any melee specialization almost meant nothing when one sees them, as they support each other so well that they seemed to have a counter for just about anything, even covering flaws that both of them shared. In fact, they just worked TOO well as a team that it was almost inhuman. This was quite an oddity by those times; seeing as they seemed to be connected so well to the extent that they can actually feel each other’s presence when they are in similar locations… Some tests were run on the two, yet nothing out of the ordinary was found.

Unlike other people who've just become lovers, there's hardly any sense of shyness between them. There were also a very deep level of trust and respect for each other, assuring that they never let their adolescent impulses from taking their intimacy too far; promising each other that they will both wait until they are both old and mature enough to commit to each other. The leader of the Spectral Enforcers once made a comment that, "Che. They've just become an item. But from what I can see, their bond and understanding of each other is far, far better than most of the married couples I've seen."

He also held a lot of respect for the researcher, Reban Innova; who was responsible for bringing him and Almaria into TSAB service in the first place. He and Almaria both seem to feel a strangely calming aura around the elderly man. This person is also the one responsible for creating Aurion and Almaria’s custom devices, namely Vega and Altair. He would later also consider the Spectral Enforcers as the family he never had.



Barrier Jacket: Aurion’s Barrier Jacket was very similar to the standard Enforcer BJ design. The only noticeable difference was the darker color scheme with sharper details and a lighter frame. The performance of his requested design was significantly better than those of standard ones, allowing for good agility and defense at the same time.


Device: Intelligent Device: Vega:
http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/236/msz006beamriflerw2.jpg

One of the two specialized experimental devices made by the researcher Reban Innova; the other being Almaria's Altair. It takes the form of light energy rifle outfitted with the then uncommonly used cartridge system, housing up to four cartridges at a time. It had design specifics that were only known to Reban. The A.I. has a young and serious female voice. Regarding its other specs, it has a high amount of targeting and control-amplification capability. Reban claimed that Altair and Vega would only work in their best potential when used by Almaria and Aurion; and this turned out to be true. Its portable mode takes the form of a V-shaped pendant attached to a chain necklace. Aurion carries it around by having it wrapped around his left wrist instead of his neck. This is for almost instant access to it whenever it is needed; enabling him to whip out the rifle-device with just a flick of the wrist.


Fighting Style: Despite having very decent magic potential and combat skills, Aurion preferred to fight tactically even on the frontlines. He liked using combinations of illusion and temperature manipulation spells, essentially confusing the opponent and holding them in place with simple but effective ice spells/binds to be easily hit by finishing blows. His defenses were solid, and his speed was pretty decent. His attack capabilities were more suited for single-hit technical blows rather than battery attacks. He had particularly excellent control over few high-powered remote shot spells; being able to control them even at semi-sniping range. When close quarters combat is unavoidable, he usually surrounds himself with some Stinger Blades and uses the MEB (Magic Energy Bayonet) on Vega in order to gain distance. Given the right position, he is capable of bringing down much tougher opponents by using opportune openings and observed weaknesses to strike.

His performance becomes several times more impressive when paired with Almaria. The two of them seems to share a strange connection that allows them to work together like a single entity. The extent of their compatibility is so great that when teamed up, they can take on enemies that exceed their overall prowess. Despite the number of Almaria’s bullets and Aurion’s illusions, they never slip in their synch and functions amazingly well.

Going by standard analysis, Aurion has the less powerful Linker Core of the two. His focus is primarily on tactical offense, preferring high-power singular shots over several lower-powered ones. He also has a higher casting speed and has higher power spells when compared to her. His defenses are standard but very sturdy.

His trigger phrase is, “Attack!”

Willbreaker: A specialized depressant spell. Aurion uses this spell to impede the target’s use of cohesive thinking due to directly sending impulses to the brain that messes up the several mental functions. Direct skin contact is needed on an area near the target’s spinal column. Aurion uses his hand in touching the target’s nape for best results. No long term damage is done to brain of the target as this spell only act like a potent drug. He used this mainly in interrogating; where he would use moderate to elevated physical torture combined with this spell to easily break the wills of the interrogated.


And now, for another scenario.:D
The following is a scenario right after a severe terrorism and kidnapping incident. Several of the subjects were too dangerous and were eliminated accordingly. Aurion got the majority of the kills, managing to finish off even the leader.

…………… No longer a human…

A lanky figure can be seen slumped over a broken wall, his eyes covered by the fringes of his hair. He’s clutching a device in the form of a rifle. He was almost a statue, if not for the light heaving of his chest.

What made that bastard so different from the rest? How come his words managed to bother me this much?

His grip on his device tightens as he grits his teeth, trying to will away the maddening crazed tone from replaying in his head…

Shut up…

c’mon! kill me now! you know you want to!

Shut up…

this is just what I want if I don’t get to win! hahahaha! you’re just the same as me! killing is nothing more than second nature, huh, gaki?!

Shut up…

you say that those you protect is the reason for your actions, but the truth is… your just using this reason as the reason to kill more!

Shut up…

that girl… she means nothing when it comes to your work, don’t you thi-

“Damare!” the quiet but clear word burst out of his mouth as he slammed his fist onto the wall behind him, creating several cracks on the worn concrete. His heaving got heavier as he tried to regain his composure.

And that’s… when I killed him… Why am I having these doubts now? Haven’t I promised myself of a never-wavering certainty? Kuso… Naze da?!

~~~~~~~~~~~

“Ungh!” Almaria gasped and clutched her chest, surprised by the sudden alien pain that didn’t come from her. Aurion…

“Onee-chan?” the three kids in front of her simultaneously exclaimed with worry.

“Ah… I-I’m fine…” She forced out a gentle smile. But later looked over worriedly over her shoulder, her dearest friend in her mind…

‘Aurion… Do you need to talk?’

‘You finish the ending procedures first, please… I’m okay… I just need a break… That last fight took a lot more than necessary out of me…’

‘U-understood…’

‘By the way, sorry about that. I’ll try to calm down a bit…’

Almaria’s expression only became more worried. ‘Please don’t worry about me. You’re talking to me after this, alright?’

‘Hai, hai… Onee-chan…’

~~~~~~~~~~

I should have known Almaria would sense my discomfort… Aurion berated himself as he placed his knuckle on his forehead, a rueful smile playing on his lips. Making a girl worry just because of a little emo moment… Hahaha…

“Onii-chan! Onii-chan!”

“Huh?” Aurion opened his eyes, the sight of two very young kids, one girl and one boy greeting him. Sighing lightly, he smiled and faced them properly, also letting Vega form back into a necklace to wrap around his wrist. It was probably because of the similarities with him, he always found it rather comforting around kids like them… “How may I help you?”

The younger kid, the girl, only moved forward and presented him with a small bowl of fruits, “Here Onii-chan! You looked tired so we decided to bring you some snacks!”

The boy then spoke up, “Yeah! You should also take a break at a proper place instead of out here! All those cool moves must have been tiring!”

“Wha-?” as it would seem, it looks like these two were the ones who saw him fighting off the last terrorist… “Thanks… But I’m alright here.”

The girl look a bit hurt, but shook her head and once again offered the bowl, “B-but at least take some!”
“Yeah, please! She picked the fruits herself!”

“Oh…” Aurion blinked and then smiled warmly, reaching over and picking one fruit from the bowl, “Thanks… Itadakimasu.” He then took a bite out of the fruit… And it turned out to be really good. “Hmm… It’s great.” are his words as he gazed at the younger child with a smile, making her blush cutely.

The older of the two started talking enthusiastically, “Say, Onii-chan. When I grow up, I want to be an Enforcer just like you!”

“Hoh?” Aurion’s eyebrows rose with intrigue. “For what reason, may I ask?”

The kid started bouncing on his heels in excitement, “So I can do all those cool things you did a while ago!”

“Hah?”

“You know; those awesome shots and then that last large beam that you used to finish the bad guy off!” the kid was now positively giddy with enthusiasm, “I want to be able to do those too and beat up the bad guys!”

“Uh…” Aurion only gaped back in trepidation at the child… Talking about his job like it was just some sort of game… Is this what that person meant as people starting to see killing as entertainment?

“Yeah! And then that-”
“No…”
“Heh?”

Aurion silently shook his head and dropped a reprimanding hand on the head of the young boy.

“O-onii-chan?”

“That’s… not what it means to be an Enforcer like me…”

No… This isn’t what I live for…

“I didn’t enlist in this job to be able to fight and defeat bad people…”

“Then what-?”

“Do you know? I never feel happy every time I kill a person, no matter how bad they are; no matter how much I dislike them…”

I knew this the very moment I enlisted into TSAB…

“Ah-?”

“No matter what reason, no matter what people from opposing sides feel, it all comes down to the fact that we are hurting and killing each other… Tell me, do you honestly think that you will be happy if you just mindlessly kill people your commanders and rules brand as bad?”

Killing isn’t my desire… It is only my duty…

“O-ore…”

“Besides, it is not our primary duty to fight. It is to stop things like this from happening… But that also isn’t the reason why I stick to this job…”

My reason is…

“So… Onii-chan… Why are you an Enforcer then? Why are you still one when you’re not happy about it?”

“I’m glad you asked…” Aurion replies as he reaches over and pats the girl’s head as well, “What makes me happy… Is the fact that I know I am able to protect those that are important to me. As well as protecting the people who shouldn’t be harmed by the activities of people like them…” he turns back to the boy, “Instead of trying to be a hero and accomplishing nothing except being guilty for your actions… Why not just become someone that can make other people happy and not harm them?”

This.

The two kids only stared back in awe at him’ clearly thinking about what he just said.

“Well… Do you understand me?”

The boy looked shameful for several moments before perking up and smiling again, “Yes! But I’m still going to be an Enforcer like you!”

“Huh?”

“But… I’ll become one so I can protect my sister, my family and those that need to be protected! That way, everybody can be happy, right?”
“Niichan…”
“I promise that, my sister!”
“Ah, hai!”

Aurion couldn’t help but chuckle in relief and ruffle the two kids’ hair, “That’s better…”

“Aurion! The procedures have been finished!” Almaria’s voice chimed out over the other side of the wall, “The commander is also calling for us now!”

“Ahh. Understood!” Aurion called back. Turning back to the two kids, “Well, I have to go now. Remember what I said, okay?”

“Hai!”

“Thanks…” Aurion picks up another fruit, “Mind if I take another one?”

The girl blushes again and shakes her head, “No! They’re all for you, anyway…”

“Just two is enough. Give the rest to those who needs it.”

“Hai.”

Standing up, Aurion started walking towards Almaria’s location while accompanied by the two kids, eating along the way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just as Aurion and the two kids rounded the last corner, Almaria’s distraught tone resounded clearly in the air, “I-iya~! W-what are you doing?!”

“Heh?” Aurion looks with confusion at the direction of the cry of surprise, only to hold back a sudden impulse of laughter at his girlfriend’s current predicament.

The children had obviously gained a liking to Almaria, and clearly didn’t want her to leave just yet. Each of her arms was held by a pair of hands from two of the other three children they saved. The shortest kid had latched himself to her legs, hugging her around the knees; essentially pinning her legs together and holding her down on the spot. She was already blushing slightly as she tried to gently detach the children from her body. However, she wasn’t faring very well and had no choice but to try not losing balance.

“C’mon, Onee-chan! Just play with us a little longer!”

“Ah… But I already have to leave. I’ll just-Oo-ooh! Hanashite~!”

“Iyada! Stay here longer!”

“Aurion, tasukete~!”

Instead of trying to help, Aurion simply planted his face on his palm and snickered, much to Almaria’s indignation.

‘Aurion!’

‘Hey, you got yourself into this, you get yourself out.’

‘Uu~! But they might-’

Aurion cut her off in mid-thought, ‘Can’t say no to kids, Onee-chan?’

She gave him a glare as her face grew redder, ‘Why do you always have to be mean to me?!’

‘I’m just being honest, Almaria.’

‘Mou~!’ she then started to loose her balance. “A-ahn~!” and fell down on her rear as even more children, including the boy Aurion talked to earlier, latched themselves unto her helpless form. “Uu~! Mou, yamete~!” she whined endearingly as she squirmed weakly against her little captors’ hugging restraints.

“IYADA!”

Aurion chuckled some more before glancing down while smiling at his device in portable form, “Everything recorded, Vega?”

[Yes... Though why are you making me record this irrelevant scene?]

“Just for entertainment’s sake.” is his only reply as he idly spun the V-shaped pendant between his fingers. “Well, I guess this should do…” he then raises his voice, “Oi, kids! That’s enough!”

After some considerable coaxing, the children reluctantly released their unlikely ‘hostage’, who promptly threw herself into Aurion’s arms in relief. After some more goodbyes, Aurion and Almaria flew off towards the rendezvous point.

After gaining some distance from the place, Almaria turned to her boyfriend flying beside her, “You no longer seemed to be troubled as much, Aurion…”

“Yeah. Thanks to those kids…”

“There are a lot of good children there, don’t you think?”

“Hmm…” Aurion nods, later shooting Almaria an amused glance, “Pretty good at clinging to a certain girl as well.”

“Mou!”

“Hey, it just goes to prove how easily you can get popular with us guys, regardless of age or location.”

“But I never asked for that to happen!”

“Oh, you don’t need to ask. I suppose it’s just an out-of-control inherent skill.”

“Uu~, hidoi~!”

“In what way is complementing you about your obvious attractiveness being mean?”

“I am NOT some sort of male-magnet!”

“Hahaha! Whatever, princess. We’re going to have such a good laugh when we get back!”

“Hey! I know you took a video of me a while ago! Delete that!”

“Heeh~? Why? You looked so cute struggling while you were being accosted by those kids.”

“Aurion, erase it now! Please?”

“No go…” Aurion then proceeds to speed up his flight.

“Aurion!” Almaria gives chase, though not having much luck due to his higher flight maneuverability. She would later give up and fly forward with puffed cheeks, with the intention of beating him to the base.

Aurion only stares ahead at his in a huff girlfriend while chuckling. A few moments later, the previous scenarios today would replay in his mind.


……………………


Not this crap again… That bastard’s last words are tenacious, huh?

you know you want t-
You’re wrong!

Aurion, slightly lagging behind the high speed flight, contemplated the recent events in his mind. I’m… not going to be like you… Aurion glances at Almaria’s lithe frame, which was flying a few meters ahead of him. He closes his eyes tightly as he concentrates on his sworn duty. I cherish the people and things that I must protect… This isn’t just my duty… This is my conviction! We may both be devils now… But I’m a different devil compared to you.

He once again opens his eyes, only to find Almaria’s face right in front of his. He wasn’t able to notice her slowing down and positioning directly opposed to him. “Almaria?”

“Aurion…”

“What are you-?” Aurion tried to talk but was cut short and rendered speechless by Almaria’s lips meeting his; eyes widening in surprise.

Almaria pulled back, revealing her melancholic eyes focused at him, “Daijoubu…” she said softly, just enough to let him hear her voice over the rushing air, “Don‘t let his words get to you… You are different… Because I know more than anybody else can; that we are important to you.” Her eyes shone with faith in him, “Dakara… Please stay the same… Our-…My reliable but silent partner.” She then smiled encouragingly.

Aurion could only gaze back at his girlfriend, an uncertain emotion in his eyes, “Orewa…” Aurion once again closes his eyes in deep thought.

“Aurion?” Almaria flies closer. “Are you al-Mmmphh!” it was her turn to be rendered speechless as Aurion kissed her this time. She let out a breathless gasp, her face blushing brightly as he pulled back and grinned roguishly.

“You don’t have to worry. Since I’m already sure with the matter myself…” Aurion said while still grinning. Despite these words, his heart felt lighter and more reassured. “Regardless, thank you Almaria.”

Almaria blushed prettily and nodded while smiling. “Don’t worry. I’m always here for you, just as you’re always there for me.”

A small silence formed between the two as they stared at each other; their own personal resolve strengthening with each passing moment. Aurion would break the silence a few moments later.

“Ahh. But…” Aurion’s smile grew wider, “I’m still keeping this video!” he then held out his left wrist bearing Vega; watching Almaria’s face flush darkly before speeding away laughing. And as if that wasn’t enough, “I wonder how much they would pay if I had this auctioned at the base!”

“Ah-ah… I…” Almaria stammered as she saw him zoom away. She then shakes her head furiously and glowers at quickly zipping away Aurion, speeding up her flight as well, “AURION! Come back here, you baka!”

“Hahahaha!”

The rest of the team could only shake their heads in wonder at the laughing couple who reached them later.

Yes… as long as I have them… I won’t hesitate. I’m sure about this… This is all someone like me can do. And I’ll make sure I won’t fail!

And some combination attacks!:D
COMBINATION ATTACKS: Aurion and Almaria’s almost absolute empathic link allowed them for a number of combination assaults as a single unit.

Dual Turbo Blitz Strike/D.T.B.S: One of their combination attacks, this one being set as the ranged attack. Almaria would initiate her trance with more than a hundred bullets of mixed Impact and Piercer Bolts using two cartridges. She would then start advancing towards the opponent. Aurion would first engage one enemy up close; letting Almaria’s shots (all of which amazingly never even graze him) cover for his lack of melee specialization. He would then either bind or incapacitate the opponent with any appropriate spell (usually using two cartridges for best effect), falling back into Almaria’s blizzard of projectiles afterwards. At this point, he would join Almaria and her shots in completely mauling down the opponent with innumerable energy projectiles, finishing the assault when Aurion Sonic Moves behind the opponent and stabs the enemy with his MEB (using up another cartridge) and shoot him/her towards Almaria. She would then shoot with her own MEB followed by a Kinetic Buster (using up her remaining cartridges), blowing back the enemy towards Aurion for him to finish off with a cartridge-boosted Break Impulse. A definitive elimination maneuver, the target is not expected to make it out alive after this.

Eye of the Storm Assault/E.S.A.: The close-ranged variation of the first combination assault. Almaria and Aurion would simultaneously engage the adversary up close with a staggering amount of controlled shots. They would rely on their agility, Aurion’s occasional illusions and the sheer volume of the shots to avoid any counterattacks the enemy might try.



Finally!:D
This time, I sure hope he feels different from the current one. For the scene where he talks with the two kids, just imagine Setsuna from Gundam 00 talking with Gimmy and Darry from Gurren Lagann.:p Vega is based off Zeta Gundam's beam rifle.:p

And though unintentionally, I managed to put in even more rabu-rabu and some fanservice as well.:twitch::heh::eyespin::D

Comments?:D

Profile: A silent and brooding person. A childhood friend, and also Almaria’s boyfriend. Was recruited into TSAB four months before Almaria. He proved to be a very talented and diligent trainee, gaining favor from the infamous Instructor Austin Abrams of the Air Force due to his commendable grit and fortitude even under the harshest of trainings. He rose fairly quickly along the ranks, earning the title of an Ace at fourteen years of age. Despite his age, he was notoriously famous for his oftentimes heartless method against opponents. He first killed a person when he was 13. He got transferred into the Navy a year after Almaria, becoming Spectrum 3 of the Spectral Enforcers. This would be his last position before the Perfect Void Incident and retiring from the army.


Personality: Serious, taciturn and a bit tactless. The Aurion from seventeen years ago can be considered worlds apart from the current one. He’s generally courteous, but can be a terrible adversary when angered. His nature as a child is rather dubious, only having a very small social circle. He finds it difficult to trust other people, initially only trusting Almaria. He prefers the company of higher-ranked and generally older people, having a large amount of respect for several of them. His peers were rather wary of him, and his attitude did little to help quell the cautious regards. Regardless, he was clear-headed and has a soft spot for kids. He generally talks with others in a polite but emotionless tone. He had a lot of interest in Device-mechanics, and took his free time as an occasional assistant to the researcher and Device-manufacturer, Reban Innova.

On a more positive note, he has somewhat lightened up through the years, thanks to the influence of other members of the Spectral Enforcers; although his abilities of sarcasm has also grown. As a soldier, he is considered to be a workaholic. To further this point, he also had a bad habit of pushing himself too much when work is involved. He's also very frugal about mundane tasks. His things are usually kept orderly. He can cook if need be, but he never bothers in making the dishes attractive. He has a bit of a soft spot for children, especially orphans such as himself. He also gets rather embarrassed when subjected to doting by elderly people.

His moral code was very utilitarian, as he had no qualms about killing a few to save several others. Almaria was very worried of this fact, remembering that Aurion was quite disturbed after his first time in killing a person. This is also the reason why he got the moniker, "Ace of the Heartless." He got his other nickname, "Hell's Inquisitor"; from the fact that he uses Willbreaker coupled with moderate to extreme physical torture when interrogating captured opponents. His main reasoning for being such is protecting those who are important to him and preventing more children like him in following the same fate.

I'm already a killer... But it doesn't matter. As long as those kids I know never end up like me. If I have to throw away my conscience in dealing with threats, so be it! Better me than them! Even if I've already become a demon, at least I'm sure I'm still able to protect what are important to me.

The only person whom Aurion seems to be completely relaxed around is Almaria. Even to the extent of taking an almost 180 degree turn in disposition. This includes actually being laid back and smiling constantly; as well as teasing her. Even when around other people, he never bothers to hide this change. Likewise, he was the only person the normally mature and professional Almaria acted completely relaxed and 'cute' with; most notably being comfortable in physical contact with him. They also like sparring with each other, with the score 35-32 in Aurion's favor.



Relationships: Needless to say, Aurion was an antisocial and cold individual to strangers. Even towards acquaintances, he rarely ever talks with them with complete sincerity, save for Almaria and some other people he respects. Gil Graham, Austin Abrams and the researcher named Reban Innova are some of the few people he holds complete respect for. The person he is closest to is without a doubt, Almaria. The reason for this stems back to when he was four... Almaria was the only person who bothered trying to talk and make friends with him, reasoning that they had the same birthday so they should at least get along well. Curiously, there was something more to their closeness than just being long-time acquaintances... A strange link that was forged between them ever since that day; allowing them a limited but accurate mutual perception. The reason behind this remains a mystery up to this day.

With that aside, his first ever, and only childhood friend was Almaria. She acted like a big sister to him, sometimes getting a reversal of roles in some circumstances. They complemented each other very well, one being stiff and emotionless while the other was bright and cheerful. As they grew up, their relationship only got stronger; culminating into being an item after one year of separation in service of TSAB.

They were really an almost perfect pair; both as people and as combatants. They worked practically flawlessly when in tandem, even at one time defeating two more-experienced S-ranked opponents despite the difference in rank, power and skill. Their abilities in combat as a pair was unbelievably good, one being a tactical and systematic aggressor and the other being a graceful range-attacker; both functioning as a single harmonized entity; almost as if having the same mind. Their lack of any melee specialization almost meant nothing when one sees them, as they support each other so well that they seemed to have a counter for just about anything, even covering flaws that both of them shared. In fact, they just worked TOO well as a team that it was almost inhuman. This was quite an oddity by those times; seeing as they seemed to be connected so well to the extent that they can actually feel each other’s presence when they are in similar locations… Some tests were run on the two, yet nothing out of the ordinary was found.

Unlike other people who've just become lovers, there's hardly any sense of shyness between them. There were also a very deep level of trust and respect for each other, assuring that they never let their adolescent impulses from taking their intimacy too far; promising each other that they will both wait until they are both old and mature enough to commit to each other. The leader of the Spectral Enforcers once made a comment that, "Che. They've just become an item. But from what I can see, their bond and understanding of each other is far, far better than most of the married couples I've seen."

He also held a lot of respect for the researcher, Reban Innova; who was responsible for bringing him and Almaria into TSAB service in the first place. He and Almaria both seem to feel a strangely calming aura around the elderly man. This person is also the one responsible for creating Aurion and Almaria’s custom devices, namely Vega and Altair. He would later also consider the Spectral Enforcers as the family he never had.



Barrier Jacket: Aurion’s Barrier Jacket was very similar to the standard Enforcer BJ design. The only noticeable difference was the darker color scheme with sharper details and a lighter frame. The performance of his requested design was significantly better than those of standard ones, allowing for good agility and defense at the same time.


Device: Intelligent Device: Vega:
http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/236/msz006beamriflerw2.jpg

One of the two specialized experimental devices made by the researcher Reban Innova; the other being Almaria's Altair. It takes the form of light energy rifle outfitted with the then uncommonly used cartridge system, housing up to four cartridges at a time. It had design specifics that were only known to Reban. The A.I. has a young and serious female voice. Regarding its other specs, it has a high amount of targeting and control-amplification capability. Reban claimed that Altair and Vega would only work in their best potential when used by Almaria and Aurion; and this turned out to be true. Its portable mode takes the form of a V-shaped pendant attached to a chain necklace. Aurion carries it around by having it wrapped around his left wrist instead of his neck. This is for almost instant access to it whenever it is needed; enabling him to whip out the rifle-device with just a flick of the wrist.


Fighting Style: Despite having very decent magic potential and combat skills, Aurion preferred to fight tactically even on the frontlines. He liked using combinations of illusion and temperature manipulation spells, essentially confusing the opponent and holding them in place with simple but effective ice spells/binds to be easily hit by finishing blows. His defenses were solid, and his speed was pretty decent. His attack capabilities were more suited for single-hit technical blows rather than battery attacks. He had particularly excellent control over few high-powered remote shot spells; being able to control them even at semi-sniping range. When close quarters combat is unavoidable, he usually surrounds himself with some Stinger Blades and uses the MEB (Magic Energy Bayonet) on Vega in order to gain distance. Given the right position, he is capable of bringing down much tougher opponents by using opportune openings and observed weaknesses to strike.

His performance becomes several times more impressive when paired with Almaria. The two of them seems to share a strange connection that allows them to work together like a single entity. The extent of their compatibility is so great that when teamed up, they can take on enemies that exceed their overall prowess. Despite the number of Almaria’s bullets and Aurion’s illusions, they never slip in their synch and functions amazingly well.

Going by standard analysis, Aurion has the less powerful Linker Core of the two. His focus is primarily on tactical offense, preferring high-power singular shots over several lower-powered ones. He also has a higher casting speed and has higher power spells when compared to her. His defenses are standard but very sturdy.

His trigger phrase is, “Attack!”

Direct skin contact is needed on an area near the target’s spinal column. Aurion uses his hand in touching the target’s nape for best results. No long term damage is done to brain of the target as this spell only act like a potent drug. He used this mainly in interrogating; where he would use moderate to elevated physical torture combined with this spell to easily break the wills of the interrogated.


And now, for another scenario.:D
The following is a scenario right after a severe terrorism and kidnapping incident. Several of the subjects were too dangerous and were eliminated accordingly. Aurion got the majority of the kills, managing to finish off even the leader.

…………… No longer a human…

A lanky figure can be seen slumped over a broken wall, his eyes covered by the fringes of his hair. He’s clutching a device in the form of a rifle. He was almost a statue, if not for the light heaving of his chest.

What made that bastard so different from the rest? How come his words managed to bother me this much?

His grip on his device tightens as he grits his teeth, trying to will away the maddening crazed tone from replaying in his head…

Shut up…

c’mon! kill me now! you know you want to!

Shut up…

this is just what I want if I don’t get to win! hahahaha! you’re just the same as me! killing is nothing more than second nature, huh, gaki?!

Shut up…

you say that those you protect is the reason for your actions, but the truth is… your just using this reason as the reason to kill more!

Shut up…

that girl… she means nothing when it comes to your work, don’t you thi-

“Damare!” the quiet but clear word burst out of his mouth as he slammed his fist onto the wall behind him, creating several cracks on the worn concrete. His heaving got heavier as he tried to regain his composure.

And that’s… when I killed him… Why am I having these doubts now? Haven’t I promised myself of a never-wavering certainty? Kuso… Naze da?!

~~~~~~~~~~~

“Ungh!” Almaria gasped and clutched her chest, surprised by the sudden alien pain that didn’t come from her. Aurion…

“Onee-chan?” the three kids in front of her simultaneously exclaimed with worry.

“Ah… I-I’m fine…” She forced out a gentle smile. But later looked over worriedly over her shoulder, her dearest friend in her mind…

‘Aurion… Do you need to talk?’

‘You finish the ending procedures first, please… I’m okay… I just need a break… That last fight took a lot more than necessary out of me…’

‘U-understood…’

‘By the way, sorry about that. I’ll try to calm down a bit…’

Almaria’s expression only became more worried. ‘Please don’t worry about me. You’re talking to me after this, alright?’

‘Hai, hai… Onee-chan…’

~~~~~~~~~~

I should have known Almaria would sense my discomfort… Aurion berated himself as he placed his knuckle on his forehead, a rueful smile playing on his lips. Making a girl worry just because of a little emo moment… Hahaha…

“Onii-chan! Onii-chan!”

“Huh?” Aurion opened his eyes, the sight of two very young kids, one girl and one boy greeting him. Sighing lightly, he smiled and faced them properly, also letting Vega form back into a necklace to wrap around his wrist. It was probably because of the similarities with him, he always found it rather comforting around kids like them… “How may I help you?”

The younger kid, the girl, only moved forward and presented him with a small bowl of fruits, “Here Onii-chan! You looked tired so we decided to bring you some snacks!”

The boy then spoke up, “Yeah! You should also take a break at a proper place instead of out here! All those cool moves must have been tiring!”

“Wha-?” as it would seem, it looks like these two were the ones who saw him fighting off the last terrorist… “Thanks… But I’m alright here.”

The girl look a bit hurt, but shook her head and once again offered the bowl, “B-but at least take some!”
“Yeah, please! She picked the fruits herself!”

“Oh…” Aurion blinked and then smiled warmly, reaching over and picking one fruit from the bowl, “Thanks… Itadakimasu.” He then took a bite out of the fruit… And it turned out to be really good. “Hmm… It’s great.” are his words as he gazed at the younger child with a smile, making her blush cutely.

The older of the two started talking enthusiastically, “Say, Onii-chan. When I grow up, I want to be an Enforcer just like you!”

“Hoh?” Aurion’s eyebrows rose with intrigue. “For what reason, may I ask?”

The kid started bouncing on his heels in excitement, “So I can do all those cool things you did a while ago!”

“Hah?”

“You know; those awesome shots and then that last large beam that you used to finish the bad guy off!” the kid was now positively giddy with enthusiasm, “I want to be able to do those too and beat up the bad guys!”

“Uh…” Aurion only gaped back in trepidation at the child… Talking about his job like it was just some sort of game… Is this what that person meant as people starting to see killing as entertainment?

“Yeah! And then that-”
“No…”
“Heh?”

Aurion silently shook his head and dropped a reprimanding hand on the head of the young boy.

“O-onii-chan?”

“That’s… not what it means to be an Enforcer like me…”

No… This isn’t what I live for…

“I didn’t enlist in this job to be able to fight and defeat bad people…”

“Then what-?”

“Do you know? I never feel happy every time I kill a person, no matter how bad they are; no matter how much I dislike them…”

I knew this the very moment I enlisted into TSAB…

“Ah-?”

“No matter what reason, no matter what people from opposing sides feel, it all comes down to the fact that we are hurting and killing each other… Tell me, do you honestly think that you will be happy if you just mindlessly kill people your commanders and rules brand as bad?”

Killing isn’t my desire… It is only my duty…

“O-ore…”

“Besides, it is not our primary duty to fight. It is to stop things like this from happening… But that also isn’t the reason why I stick to this job…”

My reason is…

“So… Onii-chan… Why are you an Enforcer then? Why are you still one when you’re not happy about it?”

“I’m glad you asked…” Aurion replies as he reaches over and pats the girl’s head as well, “What makes me happy… Is the fact that I know I am able to protect those that are important to me. As well as protecting the people who shouldn’t be harmed by the activities of people like them…” he turns back to the boy, “Instead of trying to be a hero and accomplishing nothing except being guilty for your actions… Why not just become someone that can make other people happy and not harm them?”

This.

The two kids only stared back in awe at him’ clearly thinking about what he just said.

“Well… Do you understand me?”

The boy looked shameful for several moments before perking up and smiling again, “Yes! But I’m still going to be an Enforcer like you!”

“Huh?”

“But… I’ll become one so I can protect my sister, my family and those that need to be protected! That way, everybody can be happy, right?”
“Niichan…”
“I promise that, my sister!”
“Ah, hai!”

Aurion couldn’t help but chuckle in relief and ruffle the two kids’ hair, “That’s better…”

“Aurion! The procedures have been finished!” Almaria’s voice chimed out over the other side of the wall, “The commander is also calling for us now!”

“Ahh. Understood!” Aurion called back. Turning back to the two kids, “Well, I have to go now. Remember what I said, okay?”

“Hai!”

“Thanks…” Aurion picks up another fruit, “Mind if I take another one?”

The girl blushes again and shakes her head, “No! They’re all for you, anyway…”

“Just two is enough. Give the rest to those who needs it.”

“Hai.”

Standing up, Aurion started walking towards Almaria’s location while accompanied by the two kids, eating along the way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just as Aurion and the two kids rounded the last corner, Almaria’s distraught tone resounded clearly in the air, “I-iya~! W-what are you doing?!”

“Heh?” Aurion looks with confusion at the direction of the cry of surprise, only to hold back a sudden impulse of laughter at his girlfriend’s current predicament.

The children had obviously gained a liking to Almaria, and clearly didn’t want her to leave just yet. Each of her arms was held by a pair of hands from two of the other three children they saved. The shortest kid had latched himself to her legs, hugging her around the knees; essentially pinning her legs together and holding her down on the spot. She was already blushing slightly as she tried to gently detach the children from her body. However, she wasn’t faring very well and had no choice but to try not losing balance.

“C’mon, Onee-chan! Just play with us a little longer!”

“Ah… But I already have to leave. I’ll just-Oo-ooh! Hanashite~!”

“Iyada! Stay here longer!”

“Aurion, tasukete~!”

Instead of trying to help, Aurion simply planted his face on his palm and snickered, much to Almaria’s indignation.

‘Aurion!’

‘Hey, you got yourself into this, you get yourself out.’

‘Uu~! But they might-’

Aurion cut her off in mid-thought, ‘Can’t say no to kids, Onee-chan?’

She gave him a glare as her face grew redder, ‘Why do you always have to be mean to me?!’

‘I’m just being honest, Almaria.’

‘Mou~!’ she then started to loose her balance. “A-ahn~!” and fell down on her rear as even more children, including the boy Aurion talked to earlier, latched themselves unto her helpless form. “Uu~! Mou, yamete~!” she whined endearingly as she squirmed weakly against her little captors’ hugging restraints.

“IYADA!”

Aurion chuckled some more before glancing down while smiling at his device in portable form, “Everything recorded, Vega?”

[Yes... Though why are you making me record this irrelevant scene?]

“Just for entertainment’s sake.” is his only reply as he idly spun the V-shaped pendant between his fingers. “Well, I guess this should do…” he then raises his voice, “Oi, kids! That’s enough!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After some considerable coaxing, the children reluctantly released their unlikely ‘hostage’, who promptly threw herself into Aurion’s arms in relief. After some more goodbyes, Aurion and Almaria flew off towards the rendezvous point.

After gaining some distance from the place, Almaria turned to her boyfriend flying beside her, “You no longer seemed to be troubled as much, Aurion…”

“Yeah. Thanks to those kids…”

“There are a lot of good children there, don’t you think?”

“Hmm…” Aurion nods, later shooting Almaria an amused glance, “Pretty good at clinging to a certain girl as well.”

“Mou!”

“Hey, it just goes to prove how easily you can get popular with us guys, regardless of age or location.”

“But I never asked for that to happen!”

“Oh, you don’t need to ask. I suppose it’s just an out-of-control inherent skill.”

“Uu~, hidoi~!”

“In what way is complementing you about your obvious attractiveness being mean?”

“I am NOT some sort of male-magnet!”

“Hahaha! Whatever, princess. We’re going to have such a good laugh when we get back!”

“Hey! I know you took a video of me a while ago! Delete that!”

“Heeh~? Why? You looked so cute struggling while you were being accosted by those kids.”

“Aurion, erase it now! Please?”

“No go…” Aurion then proceeds to speed up his flight.

“Aurion!” Almaria gives chase, though not having much luck due to his higher flight maneuverability. She would later give up and fly forward with puffed cheeks, with the intention of beating him to the base.

Aurion only stares ahead at his in a huff girlfriend while chuckling. A few moments later, the previous scenarios today would replay in his mind.


……………………


Not this crap again… That bastard’s last words are tenacious, huh?

you know you want t-
You’re wrong!

Aurion, slightly lagging behind the high speed flight, contemplated the recent events in his mind. I’m… not going to be like you… Aurion glances at Almaria’s lithe frame, which was flying a few meters ahead of him. He closes his eyes tightly as he concentrates on his sworn duty. I cherish the people and things that I must protect… This isn’t just my duty… This is my conviction! We may both be devils now… But I’m a different devil compared to you.

He once again opens his eyes, only to find Almaria’s face right in front of his. He wasn’t able to notice her slowing down and positioning directly opposed to him. “Almaria?”

“Aurion…”

“What are you-?” Aurion tried to talk but was cut short and rendered speechless by Almaria’s lips meeting his; eyes widening in surprise.

Almaria pulled back, revealing her melancholic eyes focused at him, “Daijoubu…” she said softly, just enough to let him hear her voice over the rushing air, “Don‘t let his words get to you… You are different… Because I know more than anybody else can; that we are important to you.” Her eyes shone with faith in him, “Dakara… Please stay the same… Our-…My reliable but silent partner.” She then smiled encouragingly.

Aurion could only gaze back at his girlfriend, an uncertain emotion in his eyes, “Orewa…” Aurion once again closes his eyes in deep thought.

“Aurion?” Almaria flies closer. “Are you al-Mmmphh!” it was her turn to be rendered speechless as Aurion kissed her this time. She let out a breathless gasp, her face blushing brightly as he pulled back and grinned roguishly.

“You don’t have to worry. Since I’m already sure with the matter myself…” Aurion said while still grinning. Despite these words, his heart felt lighter and more reassured. “Regardless, thank you Almaria.”

Almaria blushed prettily and nodded while smiling. “Don’t worry. I’m always here for you, just as you’re always there for me.”

A small silence formed between the two as they stared at each other; their own personal resolve strengthening with each passing moment. Aurion would break the silence a few moments later.

“Ahh. But…” Aurion’s smile grew wider, “I’m still keeping this video!” he then held out his left wrist bearing Vega; watching Almaria’s face flush darkly before speeding away laughing. And as if that wasn’t enough, “I wonder how much they would pay if I had this auctioned at the base!”

“Ah-ah… I…” Almaria stammered as she saw him zoom away. She then shakes her head furiously and glowers at quickly zipping away Aurion, speeding up her flight as well, “AURION! Come back here, you baka!”

“Hahahaha!”

The rest of the team could only shake their heads in wonder at the laughing couple who reached them later.

Yes… as long as I have them… I won’t hesitate. I’m sure about this… This is all someone like me can do. And I’ll make sure I won’t fail!

And some combination attacks!:D
COMBINATION ATTACKS: Aurion and Almaria’s almost absolute empathic link allowed them for a number of combination assaults as a single unit.

Dual Turbo Blitz Strike/D.T.B.S: One of their combination attacks, this one being set as the ranged attack. Almaria would initiate her trance with more than a hundred bullets of mixed Impact and Piercer Bolts using two cartridges. She would then start advancing towards the opponent. Aurion would first engage one enemy up close; letting Almaria’s shots (all of which amazingly never even graze him) cover for his lack of melee specialization. He would then either bind or incapacitate the opponent with any appropriate spell (usually using two cartridges for best effect), falling back into Almaria’s blizzard of projectiles afterwards. At this point, he would join Almaria and her shots in completely mauling down the opponent with innumerable energy projectiles, finishing the assault when Aurion Sonic Moves behind the opponent and stabs the enemy with his MEB (using up another cartridge) and shoot him/her towards Almaria. She would then shoot with her own MEB followed by a Kinetic Buster (using up her remaining cartridges), blowing back the enemy towards Aurion for him to finish off with a cartridge-boosted Break Impulse. A definitive elimination maneuver, the target is not expected to make it out alive after this.

Eye of the Storm Assault/E.S.A.: The close-ranged variation of the first combination assault. Almaria and Aurion would simultaneously engage the adversary up close with a staggering amount of controlled shots. They would rely on their agility, Aurion’s occasional illusions and the sheer volume of the shots to avoid any counterattacks the enemy might try.



Finally!:D
This time, I sure hope he feels different from the current one. For the scene where he talks with the two kids, just imagine Setsuna from Gundam 00 talking with Gimmy and Darry from Gurren Lagann.:p Vega is based off Zeta Gundam's beam rifle.:p

And though unintentionally, I managed to put in even more rabu-rabu and some fanservice as well.:twitch::heh::eyespin::D

Comments?:D

Zeta Gundam's beam rifle?! When can we see the Hyper Mega Launcher? :D:D:D:p

Cool to see the differences between young Aurion and old, and very nice and sweet scenes with Aurion/Almaria there, especially with the latter easing the former on his problems from the previous battle, though that scene with the children could be taken out of context on audio alone...

Wonder if that tape still exists... :uhoh::)

2007-11-03, 05:08
Stage 1: “Welcome to hell, exit’s right over there.”


********************


Sipher: "Welcome gentlemen! As you already know, this is all in your mind, however, that doesn't mean that you can't be fucked silly :D!!!"


*Kha finds himself in a huge cavern, looking down over the cliff in front of him, he sees...*


Sipher: "-hell :D There are a total of 13 million beasts, spectrals, zombies, elementals and not to mention demons of every size, shape and rank crawling down there."

*Hellish screams filled the place*

Sipher: "Don't be rude, go say hi to them :D When you had enough, the exit's right over there :D"

*Points to the far, far, FAR end of the cavern.*

Sipher: "See ya :)"


********************


Mission one: Escape hell.





This part is easy, numbers mean nothing.







Stage 2: “Don’t lose your head, or you’ll lose your head.”


********************


Sipher: "Oh! You made it! Good good...


* Before him was a broken down Mansion.*


Sipher: "I'm sure you must be alittle jumpy, who could blame you? You just ran through all hell :D But for now you need to calm your nerves :D"

*Points to the building*

Sipher: "The final test is in that place, all you have to do is to walk to the end of the basement..."

*:eyebrow:*

Sipher: "The catch is that, you have to find your own way... And there will be people trying to kill you... HOWEVER! You can't dodge from them ;) You have to watch as their weapon comes striking down on you... Only then will you live."

Sipher: "Escape any one of them, and you die, got it?"


********************


Mission two: Find the door to the third stage. Do not evade any attacks.





Remember this is JUST AFTER surviving the demons...

Now Kha, if you're man enough to survive all that, you come to the dreaded final test... And believe me, you WILL fail.

... This is what separates my people from the KKK of Outer-Canaan...


(Keroko, Kha, Koji :p)








Stage 3: ““Only the ruthless survive.”.”


********************


*Clap clap clap*

Sipher: "Aren't you a piece of work :D Keep it up, only one more to go!

*points to a wooden door across the room*


Sipher: "There's a woman in there... Waiting to see you..."

*Takes away his weapon and gives him a whip*

Sipher: "Spit on her, curse her, then Kill her with this."


*Walking through the door, you saw the woman who turns out to be...*


********************


Mission Three: Kill Fate. Do not show her any sympathy.


Jeno: "You see, there is no special trick, no mystery to unlock... The woman in that room is the most beautiful woman in your life. It could be your mother, sister, lover, daughter... Doesn't matter."

"You have to kill her... And the worst part? She still loves you and begs you to stop... But you can't, if you do... You'll die."

"It's that simple."





No human, can survive this, I Guarantee it.

Nice... but somehow easily passed by some of MY OCs

take for Example Kyla

Part 1:

She will be in this position for about 13 hours, 56 minutes and 23.201 seconds- blasting away.

http://community.codemasters.com/forum/images/kyle.rowley/ep2p1-3/4.jpg

Part 2:

Kyla: "So basically, i have to find my way to the end of the basement, not dodging anything, right?"

Sipher: "Yes."

Kyla takes out a handkerchief and the small dagger used to identify members of the Scrya Family- She has the Matriarchal Dagger.

She stabs herself in the chest with the dagger and uses the cloth as a blindfold.

Kyla: "How can i dodge something i cannot see or feel? Oh well... here I go." *walks in*

Part 3:

Either one of two ways... it depends on the person being used as the target.

Toss me one...

Geez... Sem Break may be rest for most, but more work for me :heh::upset:

Fluffy is my specialty!!!

Now THIS is good!

Okay, so from what I see, the RAF's domain would be (assuming in order of distance) the Green, Yellow, and Orange Zones.

RAF would primarily operate within the Yellow Zone, with more experienced squads making forays into the Orange Zone, and newer squads in the Green Zone.

- *coughs* Must learn more hetero fluff.

:nono:

Andrei: According to the GDI-TSAB Stratification Agreement, Document No. GDI-TD-XXXX (yr)-XX (mo)-XX (dy)-0125-Rev. 34, No TSAB unit of any way, shape, form or capability, is allowed entry into the Orange and Red zones, unless the TSAB High Council- wait, those three are gone so the remaining Middle Council which I'm a member of and the GDI Commandership, which I'm a member of, being Terran Sector Director has a majority vote on the matter. The same applies to any GDI unit entering the Green and Blue Zones. The only Free Interaction Zone is the Yellow Zone- though Non-Human Elements of the GDI are still not allowed entry- except on some cases- as this zone is in a state of constant turnover flux.

Wait...omg...GDI!!! :kisskiss:
This is definitely interesting...though which timeline are we looking at here? Tiberium War 1? Tiberium War 2? Tiberium War 3?
Then this also means Tiberium might make an appearance...

*runs to find a reinforced Hazmat Suit*

Tiberium already exists in the Nanohaverse

And there are 2 GDIs

one of the is the GDI of the Tiberium Wars- Global Defense Initiative- yes, the ones battling Kane and the Brotherhood of NOD

the other is my own created force (whose original name is 'Internal Galactic Security Forces- until Kha cam along and bestowed that better acronym)- the Galactic Defense Initiative- the ones keeping hostile non-human aliens and whatever out of the 'people's space'- that is 'ordered space' of the TSAB

don't think of the TSAB as an extension of the GDI- the Bureau's predecessor was, but not the modern day bureau.

Alright this crap has gone on far enough. -_-


*Drops his anti-hax limiters and powes up*


Already pointed out to be something completely different temporal manipulation is UTTERLY unsupported by canon. It's even mentioned to have something to do with "phase" a common sci-fi cliche to make stuff invisible (Stargate has done it like 50 times so has trek)

Irrelevant to the ability to reserve engineer something in fact would be badly HURT by this as to have the ability to reverse engineer something you first must understand it and apparently these guys can barely think for themselves so their chances of unlocking and understanding totally alien systems are thus vastly reduced and they’re the worst possible people to attempt it. Reverse engineering requires nearly as much or even MORE skill and innovation then original engineering unless you already have the tech, and if you already have it the question then becomes why bother?

The idea that near future missiles with AT MOST a few G accelration could catch and hit a space craft that can break orbit of an earth like planet at will and probably cross solar systems in a finite time is moronic beyond words. All it would need to due to evade is turn away and light it's engines and watch the missiles fall away behind it.

That a near future laser gird probably packing at most a few megawatts of power could damage a shielded warship that can unleash enough energy to annihilate an area 100 kilometers is equally insane. Nothing that earth is likely to build in the next hundred years is likely to be of ANY use is shooting down even low end sci-fi spacecraft.

These along with other arguments shows you to be afflicted with a profound lack of sense of scale IMO.

I've already covered how unlikely even this time table is, but it's moot as the entire idea of a time alternating feild is bunk.

Then we're talking at least 500 meters, up to 800 is still classed as a "cruiser" Volume, what determines mass, easier much faster then length though and so by the time you got up to the larger end of that you'd be looking at possible dozens of times the internal areas of a modern super carrier.


Yes because clearly they wouldn't hold orbit and await a relief ship from their vast space navy that might well at best be a few days away... They also clealy wouldn't send a distress signal, beam down to some abandoned inland and then leave the ship in orbit or even set it on an automated course into deep space, no clearly they'd just crash land it on the planet full of savage natives. :rolleyes:

More fucking hax, 90% magical=INSTANT fail magic is rare end of fucking story this fails as well.

mages can't be mass produced they can be trained, but not produced and not many people seem to have what it takes, end of story.

Yeah I mean all you did was shot down one of their ships, and threaten their capital I'm sure they'd be perfectly willing to abide by a treaty with a tiny spec that had the gale to threaten them. :rolleyes:

They're dead within a week as the TSAB rallys perhaps 5% of it's navy and crushes them like bugs on a windsheild.


Which makes no sense then, if it was so close not only would it have been explored before, but large numbers of naval units would have been nearby to one recuse the first ship and two mass a signficant fleet and destroy them the second time. Being close works both ways, it puts you closer to importatnt assets, but it puts you closer to his forces as well, and if his forces are vastly larger then your that works rather badly in his favor.

The time field or barrier is as said repeatedly bullshit and Belka was probably never an actual planet.

Like it probably being impossible and also those barrier being vulnerable to simply being blasted down, the TSAB could simply park above it and bombard down the sheild.

More likely the TSAB says give us back the tech and join our goverment or we start bombing in 5 minutes. They have no reason to tolrate a bunch of militant assholes in their own backyard.

Yes it is becasue those weapons would never hit anything.


This entire idea is retarded a single planet doesn’t dictate terms to an interstellar empire that isn’t how it works, and it sure as hell doesn’t threaten said empire and expect to live!

You have some pissant backwater effectively standing off the TSAB, that’s ludicrous Hax, yes you can have hax on a cultural level too. The TSAB is an empire controlling probably hundred of planets. The best they could hope for would be to make an invasion not worth the effort and sign some kind of treaty to allow them to exist vaguely autonomously, any attempt to acutally a threaten or fight a state hundreds of times their size is going to result in an ass raping that makes what the US navy did to Iran in the late 80s (http://forums.animesuki.com/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Praying_Mantis) look like a pitched battle. The lesson here is simple: don't fuck with superpowers. They certainly won't be allowed to keep the ships though and any insistence that they do so makes the TSAB shrug and destroy them. A planet like this could ONLY exist in some far off area not worth the effort of invading and living with the Sword of Damocles hanging over it at all times, one misstep that makes it to big an annoyance and the TSAB crushes it.

It all boils down to this: SINGLE PLANETS DON'T FIGHT OFF ENTIRE EMPIRES.

The best they can do is hope to be ignored.

- point noted

@ TK: just asking, how about the 'Alliance Approach', instead of the 'one planet hax approach' that Kagerou once displayed?

That will work, i think.

Trial : Graveyard Digger

This last trial is a trial that you will never remember. But it is a trial that is made by that person's free choice and will.

You will have a dream you can never recall. A dream that chips away your mind, as within this dream that kills you by the seconds, you dig your grave in your own world, forced by yourself.

The only way to survive this trial is for the one you love, or the one whom is closest to your heart to enter that dream that only she can see, but not you.

And die for you. And at that moment, the grave you've built will be filled with that person's corpse, as that one's agony, love and sorrow for you at their moment of death will be instilled permanently in your heart and memories for eternity.

This is a trial that you never knew how it started, and you will never know if it'll ever end. Because to live through it... That is the trial.

Sipher: "Oh get a- Nevermind, I guess I could cut him some slack..."



It's because of this test, that Jeno became protective of her... Not overdoing it of course, but he does take it very personally...

Though because he never told her about it, Spica assumed that he was thankful for surviving the test,

"...Still... Alive..."

But in truth... ;)
In truth what?


Because Keroko's is out cold :nod:

And we get to undress her.... THEN put her in a goth outfit, with TONS of frills :nod:

Oh yeaaaaaaaaaah.....

86 more days to go :eyespin:


Another thing about the potion, when the effect runs out. The user would still preserved their memory of the time they were under the spell... And they would also know the feeling they felt for whoever it is that they saw...

... So there's a chance for a Permanent effect.

Yeah, it is a female :heh:
And yes, I have a rough idea on her appearance :rolleyes:


You're thinking of a loli aren't you...




Eh? What's this about?

I'm thinking of an Outer-Canaan beauty contest :p


Isn't this thread suppose to be hibernating on weekends?? WHATS WITH THE MASSIVE BACKLOG!!!! :upset::upset::frustrated:

Mostly random comments though so I'll skip some of them.

In truth, someone else appeared.



Are you still trying to do that? :rolleyes:

It works before :nod:

So I'm not good at biology, sue me. :mad: That being said I only had a credit for Biology back in school, no distinctions so yeah. Note to self, do not talk biology if its Greek to me. :eyespin:

Biology is interesting as long as you don't get too into it.

Which I unfortunately do. >_>

I don't know but I felt those are common sense. Its just like paying respects to your seniors, just that you have to be a lot more formal about it, following military protocols and all.

The only thing is that these two have almost similar ranks, and from different force. ;)

Yes, I've officially won the bet with Grinder! :D

Oh well, 4 days was pretty long, considering it's him. :rolleyes:

Jack vs Grinder - 2 : 1.

Let's look for more contests! :D

Ahhh... It's good to learn all three science... Even if I don't excel in any :heh:

Biology would be my strong point, chemistry in average, and physics totally dismal. :heh:

Here it is! Part 2!!!


[08:30 AM]


The time came and everyone entered the chapel and sat down.
Carim stood at the altar, with Sister Schach at her side.

Koji walked to them wearing the armor for this ceremony, which consisted mostly of padded leather and metal plates. [Something like THIS (http://iro.ragnarokonline.com/game/jobswordman.asp) :heh:]
When he stopped next to Carim, she spoke, "I would like to thank you all for being here in this day, where Squire Koji will take the trial to become a Knight."
The audience applauded, and Koji looked at them, finding Yui and Maren among the crowd.
Yui noticed his look and smiled, then Koji looked at Maren, she hesitated a bit but smiled as well, Koji found that odd.

When the audience stopped applauding, Carim spoke again, "You may ask yourselves 'What is a Knight?'"
Carim paused and then continued, "It isn't just someone who is strong, but someone who has the wisdom and skill to overcome any obstacle and only uses his power to protect those in need."
"This final trial, the Knight's Ordeal, is where those who want to become Knights learn to master themselves." Carim explained.
"With this said, it is time to take Squire Koji to the place where he shall take the trial." Carim turned to Koji, and he nodded.

Carim then turned to the audience and said, "While Squire Koji is taking the trial, feel free to leave the chapel and take a walk in the courtyard."
"Squire Koji, this way please..." she said before starting to walk, Koji and Sister Schach followed her.

(Onii-chan...) Yui said mentally.
Stopping, Koji looked at her.
(Ganbatte) She smiled.
Koji smiled confidently, nodded and continued to follow Carim.
----------------------------

Carim and Schach led him along the stairway that went deep underground.
"Knight Carim, if I may ask, what will I be facing?" Koji asked as he looked at her back.
"I'm sorry, but even I don't know that..." She replied.
"Eh?" Koji blinked."What do you mean?"
"You see, the place where the Knight's Ordeal is taken has a spell on it." Schach replied for Carim.
"A spell?" As he said that they entered a hallway and continued walking.

"Well, a spell isn't the right word, but that's the best way we can describe it...it's like it's alive." Carim explained.
"Alive?" Koji wasn't expecting such remark.
"You'll understand once you enter it." She looked back at him and smiled.
"O-okay..." He nodded.
----------------------------

Reaching a door, Schach opened it and they entered a large room filled with weapons.
"W-whoa...." Koji was amazed at the amount of weapons that were displayed.
"Choose whichever weapon you'd like." Carim told him.

Koji nodded and walked to them, "Are these...devices?" He asked as he turned to her.
Carim shook her head, "They are normal weapons, forged and reinforced with magic, made for this trial."
"I see..." He looked again at the weapons.

There was much to choose from, there were daggers, axes, poles, rapiers, halberds, long swords and great swords, and many more other types of weapons.
Koji expression saddened, "I feel sorry for them..." He said.
"Eh?" Carim and Schach blinked.
"They're all here, alone, with no one using them." He continued.
Carim giggled, "Koji-san, you're a really nice person, you know?"
"I'm sorry, I'm saying wierd things..." He turned to them.

Carim shook her head, "Not at all, but...this is what I think..." She paused as she brought her hands to her chest.
"I believe that they are patiently waiting for their masters, the ones who will wield them and pass the trial with their help." She smiled warmly.
Schach nodded at her comment, "I believe the same."
"Also, the blacksmith that forged these weapons poured his soul and passion into each one of them, they will not fail their master." Carim added,
"Waiting for their masters..." He repeated, then smiled. "Yes." He nodded and turned to the weapons, examining them.

As he looked at them, he saw something shine, "Eh? What's that?" He blinked.
Moving the other weapons out of the way, he uncovered a sword an amethyst (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amethyst) embedded into the crossguard.
"This one!" He turned to them holding it.
"Oh, a bastard sword (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastard_sword#Bastard_swords)...a fitting choice for you." Carim smiled. "Go on, unsheathe it"

As Koji did so, he noticed that something was engraved on the flat side of it, "Schritt?" He blinked.
Carim nodded, "It means 'step', it may either mean this step you are taking towards becoming a knight or may have a deeper meaning." She smiled.
"I see..." He raised the sword above his head and looked at it shine with the room's lighting. "yoroshiku, Schritt."
"Well then, shall we continue?" Carim asked.
"Yes." He nodded and sheathed Schritt, attaching the scabbard to his belt.
----------------------------

Carim and Schach led him to a small room with a stone door with a sort of pedestal at the right of it.
They walked to the pedestal and Koji saw an imprint of a hand on it.
"Place your right hand on the pedestal." Carim said as she turned to it.
"But..." Koji hesitated because the hand engraved on it was slender like a female hand.
"Don't worry, just do it." She smiled.

Koji nodded and did as she asked.
The moment Koji place his hand on it, a pair of crimson eyes opened elsewhere as if awakening from its slumber...
The pedestal glowed softly and to Koji's surprise, his hand fit perfectly.
"The imprint changed..." Koji said as the glow faded away.

The door opened and Koji looked at what was inside, at first it was dark, but soon enough torches lit up the way.
The tunnel was neatly build in stone, it didn't resemble a cave as Colt had told him...

Carim gently stepped back, "This is as far as I go, from here you go on your own."
Koji nodded and prepared to enter.
"Oh, one more thing..." Carim said.
"Yes?" Koji turned and saw Carim next to him, "Eh?"

Carim leaned forward and kissed Koji on the cheek, "Good luck." She smiled.
"C-Carim-san?" Koji blushed.
"Don't worry, this is a custom done before the trial." She giggled.
"I-I see..." He tittered.
"Sister Schach will head back to the chapel, I will be waiting on the other side."
"Okay..." Koji replied and prepared to walk through when...
"Koji-san..." Carim called him.
"Yes?"
"Remember that once you enter, you can only go forward, no matter which way you head to..."
"O-okay..." He nodded and went through the door.

Carim waved at him, then the door closed.
"I'm on my own now..." He said and kept walking.
----------------------------

As he walked, he raised an eye brow, "'no matter which way'? As far as I can see, this tunnel only goes forward, how...eh!"
When Koji looked behind him, there was no longer a door there, or even an end. "W-what?" Koji was still taken aback.
"Is this what Carim-san meant by 'alive'? Anywa- wah???" When he looked forward he saw that there were now several tunnels to choose from.
"What the?" He looked at the tunnels, (Which one...which one should I take?)

Koji has 7 tunnels in front of him, he walked to each one of them and looked at the end, they all seemingly continued forward with no end in sight.
(They all look alike...but if there are choices, that means each one of them takes me to some place, to some kind of challenge.) He pondered.

"This one!" He said as he pointed at the second one from the right, but then it dissappeared, becoming a wall, "EH?"
"Then...that one!" He turned to the middle one, and disappeared as well, "Hmmm...."
Without even shouting, he ran towards the leftmost path, but it closed as well and he smashed into it.
"Ittetetetette~" Taking a couple steps back, he winced as he brought a hand to his face.

"Well, it's not an illusion, and if it is, it's a pretty solid one..." He knocked at the wall he smashed into.
He turned to the other paths and said, "Let's see what...huh?" He then noticed that the second closest path had a symbol carved on the floor.
(Hmm...this is the Belkan cross, so this must be the right path...) He looked at it, and nothing happened, Koji nodded and started walking.

Meanwhile...
In a darkened room, the owner of those crimson eyes raised its head and smirked, "This one is amusing." and giggled softly.
----------------------------


And so the trial has started :uhoh:
Koji's in for quite a trip :heh:

And I forgot to mention, with this chapter begins Koji's Arc, this chapter and half of the next chapter (I think) will explain a few more things about Koji :D
*goes back to writting part 3*

Oh, and sorry...no drawings this time either :heh:

Ah, wonderfully done! :D

Koji found himself a weapon (though I actually thought that he's going for the Trial without one), and the hidden watcher ... giggled?

Something tells me the watcher is not going to be ... normal. :uhoh:

NEW MATERIAL (at last!)!!!!


Here is the latest 82nd short, sequel to "A Quiet Evening"!

Warning: some material may or may not be NSFW; please use caution when reading.




Good Morning

Location: “Lulu” & Shirley’s Apartment, Residential District, Mid-Childia
Time: 1030 MST

As Arcas slowly gained consciousness, shaking off the drowsiness of sleep, he became aware of one fact: that this was NOT the Delphinus, by any stretch of the imagination. He spent a few moments puzzling over where he was, then remembered.

That’s right – after Mel and I were done at Zero’s last night, we followed Lulu and Shirley back to their apartment for the night. He took a moment to look over at the chair were Lulu had decided to sleep – the two men had had… reservations about sharing the same bed, so they’d decided to rock-paper-scissors for who got the bed. That was until Shirley had bonked her boyfriend over the head, saying that Arcas was their guest, and that they needed to show hospitality.

As Arcas focused on the chair, he found that Lulu no longer occupied it. The Dragonslayer found himself wondering where he had gone, until he felt movement behind him.

Ah, now it all makes sense… whatever reservations he may have had about sharing beds with a guy were voided when he tried to sleep in that chair.

Unfortunately, Arcas was VERY wrong. As he turned to face the other waking person, he discovered just how wrong he was.

His bedmate wasn’t Shirley’s boyfriend.

It was HIS girlfriend.

And she wasn’t wearing much clothing, from what he could see.

Mel was currently resting on her forelegs, yawning, and leaning forward slightly.

The Dragonslayer felt his face begin to heat up at the show his girl was giving him, and though he tried to look away, couldn’t force his gaze away from Mel’s… assets.

Now properly awake, Mel noticed precisely where her boyfriend was staring. A sexy, sultry smile crossed her face, and she couldn’t help but tease him.

“Like what you see?”

“Huh?” Arcas responded.

“Would you like to see MORE?” she asked, fingering the buttons of Arcas’ shirt.

“Well – I – uh – um – well – I – that is –”

That was when Arcas heard footsteps behind him, and swiveled his head. Mel looked around him at the new arrival: Shirley. Shirley took one look at the scene, smiled knowingly, and said:

“Looks like I interrupted you in the middle of something. But don’t mind me! Carry on! I’m just going to make breakfast!”

“Shirley, wait! This isn’t what you think it i–” Arcas was cut off by Mel, who threw her arms around him, and clamped down on his neck, morphing his statement of denial into a brain-melting moan of pleasure. Shirley merely smiled, and waved to Mel, who waved back as she continued to suck on her boyfriend’s neck. Arcas tried to resist – he really did, but as Mel’s ministrations continued, he felt the fight go out of him, and simply melted into his beloved’s embrace.

When she was done, Mel released him, and Arcas slowly began to regain his mental capabilities. The young lovers embraced, and Mel rested her head on the Dragonslayer’s shoulder. The Lady Saint giggled softly, and Arcas looked down.

“What is it?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

“Noo, it’s not. Tell me what it is.”

“Do you insist, good sir knight?”

“I do, milady.”

“Very well, then.”

Mel hauled herself up so she could speak directly into Arcas’ ear.

“O-ha-yo…”

Arcas recognized the tone.

She’s done this every morning since that night on Earth… “O-ha-yo… Ar-ca-s.”

The Dragonslayer, however, was wrong yet again.

“…a-na-ta.”

Upon hearing the highly affectionate term, Arcas responded by relieving himself of his consciousness.

Or, in simpler terms…

He fainted.


When Arcas awoke again, he found himself propped up against the back of the couch-bed, Mel snuggled up to him. The Dragonslayer looked down, and brushed a few stray wisps of hair from her eyes. The Lady Saint looked up to him.

“Hello.”

“Hi,” she responded.

Neither one sure how to continue, they lapsed back into silence, holding each other, until Mel revived the dialogue.

“Soo, what’d you think of my greeting?”

“It was, well – uhm… different.”

Mel laughed. “Oh, come ON! You practically fainted dead away in my arms!”

“I did not faint.”

“Yes, you did – and it was the CUTEST thing, just like you!”

“I am not cute.”

“Yes, you are.”

“No, I’m not – I am a man. And men are handsome, not cute.”

“Whatever, cutie. But you DID faint.”

“I did not!”

“Oh really? Then what happened?”

“I… passed out. From… manly hunger!”

“You don’t sound hungry to me…”

“Well, I am.”

The Lady Saint began to move towards the edge of the bed.

“Well then, I’ll just go get you someth–” she was interrupted by Arcas’ hand curling around the collar of his shirt, and pulling her backwards.

“Not that kind of hunger, love…” he stated before slid his arms around her and kissed her full on the lips. Mel’s eyes fluttered shut, and she wound her arms around her Dragonslayer’s neck as she responded to him.

Mel straddled Arcas’ legs as she pressed harder against his lips – kissing him was more addicting than any drug. She moaned in pleasure, her eyes rolling up into her head, as she felt his tongue slowly slip its way into her mouth. She responded in kind, moving her tongue against his, and tightening her grip on his neck. Mel felt a hand slide under the shirt she was wearing, and come to rest against the small of her back, drawing lazy lines across it. Mel broke the kiss, and rested against her boyfriend’s body, her mind flooded with bliss.

Arcas, meanwhile, continued to work his magic on his girlfriend’s back. He noticed that as he did, putting his hand under the shirt had caused it to slide up Mel’s body, exposing a pair of frilly pink panties. No longer thinking with the head on his shoulders, his other hand slid down to her panty-clad bottom, and squeezed. The Lady Saint moaned into his ear, and Arcas snapped back to reality.

“I’m sorry! I wasn’t thinking–”

“Do it again,” Mel groaned.

He was about to when they were interrupted in flagrante delicto by Shirley.

“Breakfast is ready!”


The young Phantasms now sat at the table, eating breakfast, and occasionally shooting dirty looks at Shirley.

“Did you REALLY have to interrupt us like that?”

“You guys sounded like you were making your own porn movie in there! I couldn’t even focus on eating breakfast!”

“C’mon, onee-chan. We’re adults – we know when enough is enough.”

“I don’t know… if I hadn’t butted in, Mel might have started some… biological baking, if you catch my drift.”

Both blushed, but continued to glare at Shirley. Silence hung over the room for a few moments until Arcas brought up a new subject.

“Say, Mel…”

“Yes?”

Arcas indicated the MEN’s shirt she was wearing.

“Why are you wearing my dress shirt?”

“Well, you see, after we got here…”



“Mou, onee-chan! This one doesn’t fit either!” Shirley looked at the pajama shirt Mel was currently wearing. Despite it being her biggest one, on Mel, it left little to the imagination.

“First, none of my pants fit you because you’re too short. Now none of my shirts will fit either?” Shirley sighed in frustration. “Why do you have to have such huge tits?!”

Mel looked down at the floor. “I’m sorry, onee-chan.”

Shirley exhaled, a bemused smile on her face. She embraced her childhood imouto from behind, wrapping her arms around her shoulders. “It’s okay. I can see now why guys at the Academy wouldn’t stop hitting on you. They’re rather attractive, actually – I wish I had a pair like yours.”

“Onee-chan…”

“But enough about that. We need to find you something to wear.”

“What about Lulu-kun’s stuff?”

“Nah. He and I are about the same body type – if my stuff doesn’t fit, his definitely won’t.”

“So… what do I wear? Or do I have to go…naked?”

“Relax, Mel. You won’t have to sleep naked, I promise.” Shirley scratched the side of her nose. “What about Arcas’ clothes?”


“And we found that your shirt fits Mel-chan the best – though it’s not perfect…”

Upon that statement, everyone looked to the shirt Mel was wearing – and Shirley was right. While it didn’t expose everything, Arcas could see traces of the curves of Mel’s chest, and depending on the angle, flashes of cleavage. Mel instinctively covered herself.

“Mou, stop staring…it’s embarrassing.”

After they were done with breakfast, Mel and Arcas redressed, and headed down to the Phantasmobile.

“Thanks for everything, Onee-chan.”

“It’s no problem. And here.” Shirley handed over a key. “You ever need a place to come be alone, it’s open.”


Location: Highways of Mid-Childia

As the two Phantasms drove back to Yzak Base, the ride was initially quiet.

“So, what’d you think?”

“Shirley’s a good person. Though I wish that she hadn’t walked in on us like that…”

“True. But she IS right – if she hadn’t stopped us, there’s no telling WHAT could have happened.”

“I suppose…”

“She is! And you and I need to come up with something so that I don’t end up eating for two!”

“All right, all right…”

There was another few moments worth of silence while they both pondered.

“Three pieces.”

“What?”

“Three pieces of clothes – that’ll be our standard. If either of us get under three pieces of clothing, then we stop right away.”

“And that’s supposed to stop us how?”

“What are the first three pieces of clothing that you put on in the morning?”

“Well...”

“You don’t need to say anything. Now, logic tells us that when we undress, we go in the opposite order of when you dress. I mean, you don’t take your underwear off first when you undress, right?”

“Right, ‘cause you can’t get to it. But logic doesn’t necessarily operate when you’re in the heat of the moment.”

“Not constructive logic, no. Instinctive logic does, though, and that’s the type of logic that tells us how to do things we’ve been doing forever.”

“Like getting dressed.”

“Precisely. So, can you work with that?”

“I think so.”

A pause.

“Hey.”

“Yeah?”

“Do you think… I mean… do you want to… I, uhm…”

“Do I think about having kids?”

“Yeah.”

A nod. “ I do – though probably not as much as you do.”

“That’s probably true – I do think about it a great deal since you and I happened.”

“You want kids pretty badly, then?”

“Just yours – and no one else’s.”

“You know what all that entails, right?”

“I know, and it does scare me – I won’t deny it. But,” here the speaker closed their eyes, “it’s one experience that I truly want. Feeling it grow inside me, and then giving it life…”

A chuckle. “As long as you know what you’re signing up for…”

“I do. But don’t worry – I’m in no rush – not yet.”


Location: RAF Patrol Ship Delphinus, Yzak Base, Velka SAR, Mid-Childia

The Phantasmobile pulled up in the Delphinus’ hangar, and both Arcas and Mel hopped out. Proceeding inside, they found Boomer working on the engine block.

“We’re back!” Mel announced.

“So you are,” Boomer observed.

“Where’s the Major?” Arcas asked.

“Off at Central, trying to get us back on the roster – what else?”

“Right,” Arcas replied, rolling his eyes.

“So, nothing for the day?”

“Nope, nothing, milady.”

With that, Mel scampered off.

“Where’re you going?”

“Gonna go and get lunch, then visit Division 6. You wanna come?”

“Not really. How about you, Arcas? Want to be the lady’s escort?”

“If she’ll have me.”

“Of course I will!”

Then, she disappeared. Arcas watched her go.

“Soo, you have a good time last night?”

“Knock it off, Boomer. I don’t know what perverted ideas you have in your head, but they didn’t happen.”

The sniper sighed. “Kid, if you don’t risk doing a least a few ‘perverted’ things, you’re never gonna understand women.”

Arcas whirled on him. “I’m not interested in understanding women. I’m interested in understanding ‘woman.’ As in the singular. As in JUST ONE!” The Dragonslayer sighed. “Maybe that’s why I’ve got a g–” Arcas cut himself off, realizing what he was about to say.

I gotcha now, kid…

“Got a what?”

Arcas exhaled, racking his brain for an answer. “Got a gaggle of girls interested in me, without any of your manipulative mumbo-jumbo.”

Gotta hand it to him: kid performs under pressure.

“Maybe so. But we’ll see – betcha 20 creds I get one before you do.”

“No bet – getting her’s not the end. It’s getting her and KEEPING her that’s the test. Now, if you’ll excuse me…”

And with that, Arcas left to join Mel for lunch. Boomer chuckled to himself, then stopped as a memory flashed across his awareness. He shook his head.

No. I left her a long time ago – I decided to move on with my life. This is the way things should be – the way I like them. Not gonna let some dame ruin my life.





SWEET! :D

Arcas and Mel's action, though, is a bit ... scary.

*runs*

My post before I'm gone to Friday prayers.

DIARY OF A WINDTALKER
HALLOWEEN SPECIAL, PART VII ACT III


So, everyone, do you like it?” Hayate asked as the last contestants went to the backstage, and the audience howled in feverish support to say ‘yes’. “Now we’re done with all the contenders, and while we wait for the judges’ result, let’s give a very loud applause to the Gemini Sisters!”

In an instant the hall erupted in a deafening roar as Aura and Freya returned upstage. Fan boys changed their names in unison, intoxicated by the twin sisters’ charms. Male audience swooned when the girls winked to them, and

“How are you doing, everyone?” Aura asked through the microphone.

“WE ARE DOING FINE, AURA-[I]CHAMA!” fan boys howled.

“Do you want more from us?” Freya continued.

“HELL YES WE DO!” male audience hooted.

The Gemini Sisters giggled. “Dewa!”

They made a pose that looked very identical to each other, and cameramen immediately turned to them, projecting their image on the huge screen behind them. When the cue started, they danced in perfect synchronization, never missing even a step, shone by colourful spotlights from above.

Freya: “Hitomi no oku, tojikometeta; seizatachi ga odoridasu no; yume no KO-RU, kono tsudzuki ni GOOD LUCK!”

The Gemini Sisters continued dancing, occasionally spinning on their toes as to show off their beauty. This act of self-service made 75 percent of boys and males to bleed their nose.

// outside the hall //

“I don’t really mind if you’re not into party and social gathering,” Armstrong complained as Kay served the guests with fried rice and tea. “But why are you inviting us to your booth in the first place?”

Kay laughed. “What are you talking of, Armstrong? It’s just that I happened to be asked to open a food stall,” she said. “Besides, you just look damn good in this form.”

“I take that as a sarcasm-filled praise,” Armstrong sighed. “Oh, well. Not that I want to complain in the first place, especially when I have alien girls following me around like ducklings.”

Behind them, the intoxicated fan girls and female spectators were squealing like mad as they tried to get close to their adored real men. “Armstrong-sama! Arcas-sama! DAI! SU! KI!!” they hollered and melted into blobs of flesh.

“See? That’s why I’m not a partygoer,” Armstrong said.

“That isn’t a good thought, Armstrong-san,” Mel said and sipped the green tea. (Behind her, fan boys were prying upon the woman’s majestic beauty, being dressed up in expensive and luxurious silk kimono before they were sent into smithereens by a hyper Poseidon.) “Partying for once in a while isn’t a bad idea, right Arcas?”

Arcas just nodded. “To tell you the truth, actually,” he said and took another spoonful of Kay’s Special Fried Rice, “although I disapproved of what he did to Armstrong and Nanoha, I’m wondering whether it was worth the madness he had done.”

“I’d rather not talk about it, my friend,” Armstrong replied and ate the fried rice.

The entrance door was suddenly kicked. Armstrong, Arcas, Poseidon and Mel turned around to the main hall, only to see the receptionist pushed out of the building by a group of angry cosplayers. “I bet those people are mad at the organizers for not inviting them, aren’t they?” Arcas said.

“I think you better reconsider those words,” Armstrong spoke and put down the ceramic glass. “They aren’t your regular cosplayers.”

Both Arcas and Mel blinked. “Huh?”
-
-
“You think you can enjoy the party without inviting us along,” an angry Yuuno, dressed up as King Leonidas of Sparta, said and pushed the receptionist towards the fountain. “You better choose your words carefully when you’re dealing with us.”

“But we totally forgot! We’re very sorry!” the receptionist answered.

“You threaten our culture with globalization and death,” Yuuno snarled and prodded the real sword onto the frightened TSAB personnel’s neck. “You insulted my queen. You made fun of Sparta and its glory. You chose to disregard the past and proceed with the future. What kind of mentality is that?”

“Blasphemy! This is madness!” the receptionist cried.

“Madness?” Yuuno turned to his 300 Mid-Childans. The warriors, wearing nothing more than leather pants and red capes, nodded and slammed their spears onto their hoplite shields. Then Yuuno glanced at everyone else in the boulevard who nodded as well.

He turned back to the horrified TSAB personnel. “Please, Yuuno, have mercy…”

“Mercy?” Yuuno grinned. “This! IS! COSPLAY!!!!!” He kicked the receptionist into the fountain, and all the people cheered in approval. He later turned to the 300 Mid-Childans. “Mid-Childans!”

“HOWL!” they replied in unison.

“Enjoy yourself as much as you can today!” he bolstered. “Tonight, we cosplay… IN HELL!!!!”

“FOR MID-CHILDA!!!” a Mid-Childan howled.

“FOR YUUNODAS!!!!” another Mid-Childan screamed.

Yuuno lifted his fist. “FOR GLORY!!!!”

The 300 Mid-Childans marched back into the hall. Arcas and Mel gaped in disbelief before they asked Armstrong: “that’s… Yuuno, isn’t it?”

“YUUNODAS HAS RETURNED!” fan boys roared and cried hot-blooded tears of manliness.

“Yuunodas?” Arcas asked.

“It’s a long story, but to shorten it,” Armstrong spoke, “it all began when I invited him to Greece for a seminar on Spartan culture.”

// TSAB Main Building //

“Sou…”

The Wanderer continued her journey.

Having had arrived at the headquarters two hours earlier, she chose to follow her instinct in finding her way through the main building, despite the bureau’s suggestion to send someone to escort her. It was not the case of deliberately getting lost in the vast complex, because it was what she had intended to do: spending as much time in the complex as she could.

She took the opportunity from the lengthy trip to look around her, noticing how many eyes were fixated upon the oversized anteater doll she was carrying along, and how many eyes were prying upon the attire she wore. She did not take notice of the awkward atmosphere, nor did she care of the people. She was here to look for someone, and she would do what it took to find that person.

(Earlier, on that day, she had stumbled across Amy who was equally surprised to see her presence in the TSAB. Her reaction towards Chrono’s wife was as uncanny as ever as she asked “what’s with the fake fang and long wig you’re wearing?” in which Amy’s only answer was “I thought I could go and smack Chrono on the head-nyoro.”

She batted her eyebrow upward. “Nyoro?”)

“I guess he’s really enjoying himself up to this day,” she pondered and walked down the path that lead to the hall.

“Mai?”

She stopped. She knew that voice, and she recognized the intonation of the speech (despite the awfully feminine sound). She turned around,

“What are you doing here?” It was Hikari, and standing beside her was Nanoha who was equally shocked not only at her presence but also at the same school uniform she was donning. “You could’ve given me a call, you know.”

“Hikki…” She approached the priestess. She took her hands. “It is time.”

Hikari blinked. “Right now? (Mai nodded.) But what will everyone… Nanoha think of this?”

She smiled. “Don’t worry. We’ll come up with something.” She later turned to Nanoha and bowed to her. “Please forgive my husband for all the difficulties he has created before I come here. I’m sure he didn’t really mean to displease you,” she spoke.

“N-no! I’m fine with it,” Nanoha replied.

Hikari sighed. “Oh, well. I guess this will be a parting gift from Hikari Kokurabuji.” So saying she approached Nanoha, bent forward and gave her a soft kiss on the cheek. “It’s been a pleasure to visit and know you, Nanoha-sama. Please send my regard to everyone,” she spoke in soft voice. “Thank you for everything.”

Mai handed over the anteater doll to Nanoha and approached. “Anata, I hope you have learned your lesson from this transformation,” she spoke.

Hikari, to Nanoha’s surprise, simply nodded, as if she knew the end would be coming. “Yes, Mai, I understand.”

She stopped. With her face an inch from Hikari’s, she stared into the priestess’ vibrant eyes. “Are you ready?”

“Yes, I am.”

She tipped off her feet. Slowly, she reached for Hikari’s lips and pressed her lips in a soft, passionless kiss that shocked not only Nanoha but also several female TSAB personnel who were walking in the area.

(At the same time, Koji, Yui, Maren and Treize arrived in the area only to be greeted by the romantic scene. Yui had to seize her brother’s eyes; the “kitsune miko” blushed at the thought of kissing her significant one in the public; Treize simply tilted her head in confusion.)

The kiss disengaged. Hikari started glowing in faint bluish aura, but was not surprised by the phenomenon as she signalled at Nanoha to calm down.

“Go change your dresses somewhere else, anata,” Mai said with a chuckle and poked his nose. “You don’t want people to see you with your skins exposed.”

“By the way, Armstrong,” Kay continued. “Have you done with the reports on the excavation? I need to review it before delivering it to the society.”

“With all these parties and activities, do you expect me to complete the assignment on time?” Armstrong chided. “Why don’t you write those paper works yourself?”

Kay grumbled at the lazy reply and prodded her finger onto Armstrong’s shoulder. “Whether you want to complain, it’s not my business, but I need those reports. Besides, it was you who volunteered to do the reports, wasn’t it?”

An explosion shook the entire structure.

“What happened?” Armstrong left the stall and everybody else behind (Arcas was closely following his lead). They arrived at the explosion site, to be greeted by a scene unlike anything they had ever seen.

“Who or what the hell?” Arcas demanded.

Amidst the ruins and chaos, Armstrong could see a person walking into the scene, in all his might and right with a steel ball holstered upon his right shoulder.

He was not amused. So did Arcas.

“Jackson Armstrong!” Baron Daban bellowed. “I challenge you into a rematch!”

Well, this is cheesy as hell. :heh: :heh: :uhoh:

WINRAR! :bow::bow:

King Yuunodas takes the screen with his bellow! :D

But-but...

I'm a guy! *despair*.

Anything you could suggest would be awesome. Like I said, I'm ignorant of most of the ways the Nanoverse works: it's been ages since I've seen the first or second seasons, and last time I ran through StrikerS was when yesy finished 26. I've never seen/heard about the Sound Stages till I joined here, and except for a few 4komas, I didn't realize how rabid the fanbase was ;) .

On the other hand, I'm from the Evangelion fanbase, who's average otaku will eat your soul for so much as looking at Eva funny.

A few rewinds wouldn't hurt too much. And anything that you have in mind, but are not sure of, should be put onto the table for discussion. Admittedly, you'll find TK a bit intimidating at first, but he's actually a nice guy to talk with and one who has some interesting ideas. :D

Seiyuu: Mamoru Miyano


Profile: A silent and brooding person. A childhood friend, and also Almaria’s boyfriend. Was recruited into TSAB four months before Almaria. He proved to be a very talented and diligent trainee, gaining favor from the infamous Instructor Austin Abrams of the Air Force due to his commendable grit and fortitude even under the harshest of trainings. He rose fairly quickly along the ranks, earning the title of an Ace at fourteen years of age. Despite his age, he was notoriously famous for his oftentimes heartless method against opponents. He first killed a person when he was 13. He got transferred into the Navy a year after Almaria, becoming Spectrum 3 of the Spectral Enforcers. This would be his last position before the Perfect Void Incident and retiring from the army.


Personality: Serious, taciturn and a bit tactless. The Aurion from seventeen years ago can be considered worlds apart from the current one. He’s generally courteous, but can be a terrible adversary when angered. His nature as a child is rather dubious, only having a very small social circle. He finds it difficult to trust other people, initially only trusting Almaria. He prefers the company of higher-ranked and generally older people, having a large amount of respect for several of them. His peers were rather wary of him, and his attitude did little to help quell the cautious regards. Regardless, he was clear-headed and has a soft spot for kids. He generally talks with others in a polite but emotionless tone. He had a lot of interest in Device-mechanics, and took his free time as an occasional assistant to the researcher and Device-manufacturer, Reban Innova.

On a more positive note, he has somewhat lightened up through the years, thanks to the influence of other members of the Spectral Enforcers; although his abilities of sarcasm has also grown. As a soldier, he is considered to be a workaholic. To further this point, he also had a bad habit of pushing himself too much when work is involved. He's also very frugal about mundane tasks. His things are usually kept orderly. He can cook if need be, but he never bothers in making the dishes attractive. He has a bit of a soft spot for children, especially orphans such as himself. He also gets rather embarrassed when subjected to doting by elderly people.

His moral code was very utilitarian, as he had no qualms about killing a few to save several others. Almaria was very worried of this fact, remembering that Aurion was quite disturbed after his first time in killing a person. This is also the reason why he got the moniker, "Ace of the Heartless." He got his other nickname, "Hell's Inquisitor"; from the fact that he uses Willbreaker coupled with moderate to extreme physical torture when interrogating captured opponents. His main reasoning for being such is protecting those who are important to him and preventing more children like him in following the same fate.

I'm already a killer... But it doesn't matter. As long as those kids I know never end up like me. If I have to throw away my conscience in dealing with threats, so be it! Better me than them! Even if I've already become a demon, at least I'm sure I'm still able to protect what are important to me.

The only person whom Aurion seems to be completely relaxed around is Almaria. Even to the extent of taking an almost 180 degree turn in disposition. This includes actually being laid back and smiling constantly; as well as teasing her. Even when around other people, he never bothers to hide this change. Likewise, he was the only person the normally mature and professional Almaria acted completely relaxed and 'cute' with; most notably being comfortable in physical contact with him. They also like sparring with each other, with the score 35-32 in Aurion's favor.



Relationships: Needless to say, Aurion was an antisocial and cold individual to strangers. Even towards acquaintances, he rarely ever talks with them with complete sincerity, save for Almaria and some other people he respects. Gil Graham, Austin Abrams and the researcher named Reban Innova are some of the few people he holds complete respect for. The person he is closest to is without a doubt, Almaria. The reason for this stems back to when he was four... Almaria was the only person who bothered trying to talk and make friends with him, reasoning that they had the same birthday so they should at least get along well. Curiously, there was something more to their closeness than just being long-time acquaintances... A strange link that was forged between them ever since that day; allowing them a limited but accurate mutual perception. The reason behind this remains a mystery up to this day.

With that aside, his first ever, and only childhood friend was Almaria. She acted like a big sister to him, sometimes getting a reversal of roles in some circumstances. They complemented each other very well, one being stiff and emotionless while the other was bright and cheerful. As they grew up, their relationship only got stronger; culminating into being an item after one year of separation in service of TSAB.

They were really an almost perfect pair; both as people and as combatants. They worked practically flawlessly when in tandem, even at one time defeating two more-experienced S-ranked opponents despite the difference in rank, power and skill. Their abilities in combat as a pair was unbelievably good, one being a tactical and systematic aggressor and the other being a graceful range-attacker; both functioning as a single harmonized entity; almost as if having the same mind. Their lack of any melee specialization almost meant nothing when one sees them, as they support each other so well that they seemed to have a counter for just about anything, even covering flaws that both of them shared. In fact, they just worked TOO well as a team that it was almost inhuman. This was quite an oddity by those times; seeing as they seemed to be connected so well to the extent that they can actually feel each other’s presence when they are in similar locations… Some tests were run on the two, yet nothing out of the ordinary was found.

Unlike other people who've just become lovers, there's hardly any sense of shyness between them. There were also a very deep level of trust and respect for each other, assuring that they never let their adolescent impulses from taking their intimacy too far; promising each other that they will both wait until they are both old and mature enough to commit to each other. The leader of the Spectral Enforcers once made a comment that, "Che. They've just become an item. But from what I can see, their bond and understanding of each other is far, far better than most of the married couples I've seen."

He also held a lot of respect for the researcher, Reban Innova; who was responsible for bringing him and Almaria into TSAB service in the first place. He and Almaria both seem to feel a strangely calming aura around the elderly man. This person is also the one responsible for creating Aurion and Almaria’s custom devices, namely Vega and Altair. He would later also consider the Spectral Enforcers as the family he never had.



Barrier Jacket: Aurion’s Barrier Jacket was very similar to the standard Enforcer BJ design. The only noticeable difference was the darker color scheme with sharper details and a lighter frame. The performance of his requested design was significantly better than those of standard ones, allowing for good agility and defense at the same time.


Device: Intelligent Device: Vega:
http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/236/msz006beamriflerw2.jpg

One of the two specialized experimental devices made by the researcher Reban Innova; the other being Almaria's Altair. It takes the form of light energy rifle outfitted with the then uncommonly used cartridge system, housing up to four cartridges at a time. It had design specifics that were only known to Reban. The A.I. has a young and serious female voice. Regarding its other specs, it has a high amount of targeting and control-amplification capability. Reban claimed that Altair and Vega would only work in their best potential when used by Almaria and Aurion; and this turned out to be true. Its portable mode takes the form of a V-shaped pendant attached to a chain necklace. Aurion carries it around by having it wrapped around his left wrist instead of his neck. This is for almost instant access to it whenever it is needed; enabling him to whip out the rifle-device with just a flick of the wrist.


Fighting Style: Despite having very decent magic potential and combat skills, Aurion preferred to fight tactically even on the frontlines. He liked using combinations of illusion and temperature manipulation spells, essentially confusing the opponent and holding them in place with simple but effective ice spells/binds to be easily hit by finishing blows. His defenses were solid, and his speed was pretty decent. His attack capabilities were more suited for single-hit technical blows rather than battery attacks. He had particularly excellent control over few high-powered remote shot spells; being able to control them even at semi-sniping range. When close quarters combat is unavoidable, he usually surrounds himself with some Stinger Blades and uses the MEB (Magic Energy Bayonet) on Vega in order to gain distance. Given the right position, he is capable of bringing down much tougher opponents by using opportune openings and observed weaknesses to strike.

His performance becomes several times more impressive when paired with Almaria. The two of them seems to share a strange connection that allows them to work together like a single entity. The extent of their compatibility is so great that when teamed up, they can take on enemies that exceed their overall prowess. Despite the number of Almaria’s bullets and Aurion’s illusions, they never slip in their synch and functions amazingly well.

Going by standard analysis, Aurion has the less powerful Linker Core of the two. His focus is primarily on tactical offense, preferring high-power singular shots over several lower-powered ones. He also has a higher casting speed and has higher power spells when compared to her. His defenses are standard but very sturdy.

His trigger phrase is, “Attack!”

Special Spell:

Willbreaker: A specialized depressant spell. Aurion uses this spell to impede the target’s use of cohesive thinking due to directly sending impulses to the brain that messes up the several mental functions. Direct skin contact is needed on an area near the target’s spinal column. Aurion uses his hand in touching the target’s nape for best results. No long term damage is done to brain of the target as this spell only act like a potent drug. He used this mainly in interrogating; where he would use moderate to elevated physical torture combined with this spell to easily break the wills of the interrogated.


And now, for another scenario.:D
The following is a scenario right after a severe terrorism and kidnapping incident. Several of the subjects were too dangerous and were eliminated accordingly. Aurion got the majority of the kills, managing to finish off even the leader.

…………… No longer a human…

A lanky figure can be seen slumped over a broken wall, his eyes covered by the fringes of his hair. He’s clutching a device in the form of a rifle. He was almost a statue, if not for the light heaving of his chest.

What made that bastard so different from the rest? How come his words managed to bother me this much?

His grip on his device tightens as he grits his teeth, trying to will away the maddening crazed tone from replaying in his head…

Shut up…

c’mon! kill me now! you know you want to!

Shut up…

this is just what I want if I don’t get to win! hahahaha! you’re just the same as me! killing is nothing more than second nature, huh, gaki?!

Shut up…

you say that those you protect is the reason for your actions, but the truth is… your just using this reason as the reason to kill more!

Shut up…

that girl… she means nothing when it comes to your work, don’t you thi-

“Damare!” the quiet but clear word burst out of his mouth as he slammed his fist onto the wall behind him, creating several cracks on the worn concrete. His heaving got heavier as he tried to regain his composure.

And that’s… when I killed him… Why am I having these doubts now? Haven’t I promised myself of a never-wavering certainty? Kuso… Naze da?!

~~~~~~~~~~~

“Ungh!” Almaria gasped and clutched her chest, surprised by the sudden alien pain that didn’t come from her. Aurion…

“Onee-chan?” the three kids in front of her simultaneously exclaimed with worry.

“Ah… I-I’m fine…” She forced out a gentle smile. But later looked over worriedly over her shoulder, her dearest friend in her mind…

‘Aurion… Do you need to talk?’

‘You finish the ending procedures first, please… I’m okay… I just need a break… That last fight took a lot more than necessary out of me…’

‘U-understood…’

‘By the way, sorry about that. I’ll try to calm down a bit…’

Almaria’s expression only became more worried. ‘Please don’t worry about me. You’re talking to me after this, alright?’

‘Hai, hai… Onee-chan…’

~~~~~~~~~~

I should have known Almaria would sense my discomfort… Aurion berated himself as he placed his knuckle on his forehead, a rueful smile playing on his lips. Making a girl worry just because of a little emo moment… Hahaha…

“Onii-chan! Onii-chan!”

“Huh?” Aurion opened his eyes, the sight of two very young kids, one girl and one boy greeting him. Sighing lightly, he smiled and faced them properly, also letting Vega form back into a necklace to wrap around his wrist. It was probably because of the similarities with him, he always found it rather comforting around kids like them… “How may I help you?”

The younger kid, the girl, only moved forward and presented him with a small bowl of fruits, “Here Onii-chan! You looked tired so we decided to bring you some snacks!”

The boy then spoke up, “Yeah! You should also take a break at a proper place instead of out here! All those cool moves must have been tiring!”

“Wha-?” as it would seem, it looks like these two were the ones who saw him fighting off the last terrorist… “Thanks… But I’m alright here.”

The girl look a bit hurt, but shook her head and once again offered the bowl, “B-but at least take some!”
“Yeah, please! She picked the fruits herself!”

“Oh…” Aurion blinked and then smiled warmly, reaching over and picking one fruit from the bowl, “Thanks… Itadakimasu.” He then took a bite out of the fruit… And it turned out to be really good. “Hmm… It’s great.” are his words as he gazed at the younger child with a smile, making her blush cutely.

The older of the two started talking enthusiastically, “Say, Onii-chan. When I grow up, I want to be an Enforcer just like you!”

“Hoh?” Aurion’s eyebrows rose with intrigue. “For what reason, may I ask?”

The kid started bouncing on his heels in excitement, “So I can do all those cool things you did a while ago!”

“Hah?”

“You know; those awesome shots and then that last large beam that you used to finish the bad guy off!” the kid was now positively giddy with enthusiasm, “I want to be able to do those too and beat up the bad guys!”

“Uh…” Aurion only gaped back in trepidation at the child… Talking about his job like it was just some sort of game… Is this what that person meant as people starting to see killing as entertainment?

“Yeah! And then that-”
“No…”
“Heh?”

Aurion silently shook his head and dropped a reprimanding hand on the head of the young boy.

“O-onii-chan?”

“That’s… not what it means to be an Enforcer like me…”

No… This isn’t what I live for…

“I didn’t enlist in this job to be able to fight and defeat bad people…”

“Then what-?”

“Do you know? I never feel happy every time I kill a person, no matter how bad they are; no matter how much I dislike them…”

I knew this the very moment I enlisted into TSAB…

“Ah-?”

“No matter what reason, no matter what people from opposing sides feel, it all comes down to the fact that we are hurting and killing each other… Tell me, do you honestly think that you will be happy if you just mindlessly kill people your commanders and rules brand as bad?”

Killing isn’t my desire… It is only my duty…

“O-ore…”

“Besides, it is not our primary duty to fight. It is to stop things like this from happening… But that also isn’t the reason why I stick to this job…”

My reason is…

“So… Onii-chan… Why are you an Enforcer then? Why are you still one when you’re not happy about it?”

“I’m glad you asked…” Aurion replies as he reaches over and pats the girl’s head as well, “What makes me happy… Is the fact that I know I am able to protect those that are important to me. As well as protecting the people who shouldn’t be harmed by the activities of people like them…” he turns back to the boy, “Instead of trying to be a hero and accomplishing nothing except being guilty for your actions… Why not just become someone that can make other people happy and not harm them?”

This.

The two kids only stared back in awe at him’ clearly thinking about what he just said.

“Well… Do you understand me?”

The boy looked shameful for several moments before perking up and smiling again, “Yes! But I’m still going to be an Enforcer like you!”

“Huh?”

“But… I’ll become one so I can protect my sister, my family and those that need to be protected! That way, everybody can be happy, right?”
“Niichan…”
“I promise that, my sister!”
“Ah, hai!”

Aurion couldn’t help but chuckle in relief and ruffle the two kids’ hair, “That’s better…”

“Aurion! The procedures have been finished!” Almaria’s voice chimed out over the other side of the wall, “The commander is also calling for us now!”

“Ahh. Understood!” Aurion called back. Turning back to the two kids, “Well, I have to go now. Remember what I said, okay?”

“Hai!”

“Thanks…” Aurion picks up another fruit, “Mind if I take another one?”

The girl blushes again and shakes her head, “No! They’re all for you, anyway…”

“Just two is enough. Give the rest to those who needs it.”

“Hai.”

Standing up, Aurion started walking towards Almaria’s location while accompanied by the two kids, eating along the way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just as Aurion and the two kids rounded the last corner, Almaria’s distraught tone resounded clearly in the air, “I-iya~! W-what are you doing?!”

“Heh?” Aurion looks with confusion at the direction of the cry of surprise, only to hold back a sudden impulse of laughter at his girlfriend’s current predicament.

The children had obviously gained a liking to Almaria, and clearly didn’t want her to leave just yet. Each of her arms was held by a pair of hands from two of the other three children they saved. The shortest kid had latched himself to her legs, hugging her around the knees; essentially pinning her legs together and holding her down on the spot. She was already blushing slightly as she tried to gently detach the children from her body. However, she wasn’t faring very well and had no choice but to try not losing balance.

“C’mon, Onee-chan! Just play with us a little longer!”

“Ah… But I already have to leave. I’ll just-Oo-ooh! Hanashite~!”

“Iyada! Stay here longer!”

“Aurion, tasukete~!”

Instead of trying to help, Aurion simply planted his face on his palm and snickered, much to Almaria’s indignation.

‘Aurion!’

‘Hey, you got yourself into this, you get yourself out.’

‘Uu~! But they might-’

Aurion cut her off in mid-thought, ‘Can’t say no to kids, Onee-chan?’

She gave him a glare as her face grew redder, ‘Why do you always have to be mean to me?!’

‘I’m just being honest, Almaria.’

‘Mou~!’ she then started to loose her balance. “A-ahn~!” and fell down on her rear as even more children, including the boy Aurion talked to earlier, latched themselves unto her helpless form. “Uu~! Mou, yamete~!” she whined endearingly as she squirmed weakly against her little captors’ hugging restraints.

“IYADA!”

Aurion chuckled some more before glancing down while smiling at his device in portable form, “Everything recorded, Vega?”

[Yes... Though why are you making me record this irrelevant scene?]

“Just for entertainment’s sake.” is his only reply as he idly spun the V-shaped pendant between his fingers. “Well, I guess this should do…” he then raises his voice, “Oi, kids! That’s enough!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After some considerable coaxing, the children reluctantly released their unlikely ‘hostage’, who promptly threw herself into Aurion’s arms in relief. After some more goodbyes, Aurion and Almaria flew off towards the rendezvous point.

After gaining some distance from the place, Almaria turned to her boyfriend flying beside her, “You no longer seemed to be troubled as much, Aurion…”

“Yeah. Thanks to those kids…”

“There are a lot of good children there, don’t you think?”

“Hmm…” Aurion nods, later shooting Almaria an amused glance, “Pretty good at clinging to a certain girl as well.”

“Mou!”

“Hey, it just goes to prove how easily you can get popular with us guys, regardless of age or location.”

“But I never asked for that to happen!”

“Oh, you don’t need to ask. I suppose it’s just an out-of-control inherent skill.”

“Uu~, hidoi~!”

“In what way is complementing you about your obvious attractiveness being mean?”

“I am NOT some sort of male-magnet!”

“Hahaha! Whatever, princess. We’re going to have such a good laugh when we get back!”

“Hey! I know you took a video of me a while ago! Delete that!”

“Heeh~? Why? You looked so cute struggling while you were being accosted by those kids.”

“Aurion, erase it now! Please?”

“No go…” Aurion then proceeds to speed up his flight.

“Aurion!” Almaria gives chase, though not having much luck due to his higher flight maneuverability. She would later give up and fly forward with puffed cheeks, with the intention of beating him to the base.

Aurion only stares ahead at his in a huff girlfriend while chuckling. A few moments later, the previous scenarios today would replay in his mind.


……………………


Not this crap again… That bastard’s last words are tenacious, huh?

you know you want t-
You’re wrong!

Aurion, slightly lagging behind the high speed flight, contemplated the recent events in his mind. I’m… not going to be like you… Aurion glances at Almaria’s lithe frame, which was flying a few meters ahead of him. He closes his eyes tightly as he concentrates on his sworn duty. I cherish the people and things that I must protect… This isn’t just my duty… This is my conviction! We may both be devils now… But I’m a different devil compared to you.

He once again opens his eyes, only to find Almaria’s face right in front of his. He wasn’t able to notice her slowing down and positioning directly opposed to him. “Almaria?”

“Aurion…”

“What are you-?” Aurion tried to talk but was cut short and rendered speechless by Almaria’s lips meeting his; eyes widening in surprise.

Almaria pulled back, revealing her melancholic eyes focused at him, “Daijoubu…” she said softly, just enough to let him hear her voice over the rushing air, “Don‘t let his words get to you… You are different… Because I know more than anybody else can; that we are important to you.” Her eyes shone with faith in him, “Dakara… Please stay the same… Our-…My reliable but silent partner.” She then smiled encouragingly.

Aurion could only gaze back at his girlfriend, an uncertain emotion in his eyes, “Orewa…” Aurion once again closes his eyes in deep thought.

“Aurion?” Almaria flies closer. “Are you al-Mmmphh!” it was her turn to be rendered speechless as Aurion kissed her this time. She let out a breathless gasp, her face blushing brightly as he pulled back and grinned roguishly.

“You don’t have to worry. Since I’m already sure with the matter myself…” Aurion said while still grinning. Despite these words, his heart felt lighter and more reassured. “Regardless, thank you Almaria.”

Almaria blushed prettily and nodded while smiling. “Don’t worry. I’m always here for you, just as you’re always there for me.”

A small silence formed between the two as they stared at each other; their own personal resolve strengthening with each passing moment. Aurion would break the silence a few moments later.

“Ahh. But…” Aurion’s smile grew wider, “I’m still keeping this video!” he then held out his left wrist bearing Vega; watching Almaria’s face flush darkly before speeding away laughing. And as if that wasn’t enough, “I wonder how much they would pay if I had this auctioned at the base!”

“Ah-ah… I…” Almaria stammered as she saw him zoom away. She then shakes her head furiously and glowers at quickly zipping away Aurion, speeding up her flight as well, “AURION! Come back here, you baka!”

“Hahahaha!”

The rest of the team could only shake their heads in wonder at the laughing couple who reached them later.

Yes… as long as I have them… I won’t hesitate. I’m sure about this… This is all someone like me can do. And I’ll make sure I won’t fail!

And some combination attacks!:D
COMBINATION ATTACKS: Aurion and Almaria’s almost absolute empathic link allowed them for a number of combination assaults as a single unit.

Dual Turbo Blitz Strike/D.T.B.S: One of their combination attacks, this one being set as the ranged attack. Almaria would initiate her trance with more than a hundred bullets of mixed Impact and Piercer Bolts using two cartridges. She would then start advancing towards the opponent. Aurion would first engage one enemy up close; letting Almaria’s shots (all of which amazingly never even graze him) cover for his lack of melee specialization. He would then either bind or incapacitate the opponent with any appropriate spell (usually using two cartridges for best effect), falling back into Almaria’s blizzard of projectiles afterwards. At this point, he would join Almaria and her shots in completely mauling down the opponent with innumerable energy projectiles, finishing the assault when Aurion Sonic Moves behind the opponent and stabs the enemy with his MEB (using up another cartridge) and shoot him/her towards Almaria. She would then shoot with her own MEB followed by a Kinetic Buster (using up her remaining cartridges), blowing back the enemy towards Aurion for him to finish off with a cartridge-boosted Break Impulse. A definitive elimination maneuver, the target is not expected to make it out alive after this.

Eye of the Storm Assault/E.S.A.: The close-ranged variation of the first combination assault. Almaria and Aurion would simultaneously engage the adversary up close with a staggering amount of controlled shots. They would rely on their agility, Aurion’s occasional illusions and the sheer volume of the shots to avoid any counterattacks the enemy might try.


Aurion gets a upgrade to his profile as well. :D

Very nice scenario going on there and of course Zeta's beam rifle and combo attacks are WIN. :D

So I see. C.C in name and and similar in appearance as well. I'm using the original C.C. siimply as an image base for Katrina and since I see no prior claims on that area, there would be no problems at all.

Another thing about the potion, when the effect runs out. The user would still preserved their memory of the time they were under the spell... And they would also know the feeling they felt for whoever it is that they saw...

... So there's a chance for a Permanent effect.

Biology is interesting as long as you don't get too into it.

Which I unfortunately do. >_>I find allot of interesting as well, but yeah I can see how studying it big time would get old pretty quick. Still some of the systems in nature are pretty astounding, though I often find myself making sure people don't think they're TOO great, again nature dose some impressive things, but technology dose allot of things better so don't think we're more important our specie or nature really is. *cough*fuckingbioships*cough*


Biology would be my strong point, chemistry in average, and physics totally dismal. :heh:I'm pretty good with biology since I actually end up hearing write a bit about it in some of my classes. (the line between psychology and biology is blurring for instance, and we get allot of in forensics and such too) I talk a better game of physics then I know honestly. I'm no expert, but given that most people seem to be total ignoramuses on the subject even my vague knowledge makes my meager skills sometimes seem god like... which is sad. :uhoh: A willingness to look stuff up and ask people smarter then me about stuff helps too. Chemistry I'm so so to poor I know a number of rules and such, and what allot of materials will tend to do and how they act, but the meat and bones like writing out formulas or actual lab work is beyond my level.

Luckily the internet makes looking up such more technical bits pretty easy nowadays, wiki is your friend.

Really I have no beef with someone not knowing or being an expert at something, it's when they don't know and will make no damn effort to learn for themselves, or indeed learn at all that I start to get annoyed. I recall one guy talking about using radar to guide a torpedo... underwater. I really wanted to just hit him upside the head as he clearly hadn't made even a cursory foray into research before proposing this asinine solution.


A few rewinds wouldn't hurt too much. And anything that you have in mind, but are not sure of, should be put onto the table for discussion. Admittedly, you'll find TK a bit intimidating at first, but he's actually a nice guy to talk with and one who has some interesting ideas. :D

That will work, i think.

Yup... Nature has had several million years for the species that inhabit this Earth to evolve their sophisticated biological systems that perform in the functions they're tasked to do efficiently. And most of them are more sophisticated and magnificently effective, sometimes better than some of our technologies. Although yes, in terms of efficiency in a given task technology still does things better.

Really I have no beef with someone not knowing or being an expert at something, it's when they don't know and will make no damn effort to learn for themselves, or indeed learn at all that I start to get annoyed.

Shit you all need to slow down! Like 6 more posts by the time I started writing this one! :uhoh:

Now I feel bad for throwing them away and kicking them to the curb :(

Now now whoever said to throw them away? :nono:

Why have one when you can have twins or sisters? :D



Not that we're suffering any lack of Quantity mind. =/ (this board needs more sarcasm and snarker emotes:p)

Now it's my turn to disappear for about two weeks. Don't miss me.


First Erio, and now you're going away this season :heh: We'll pile the backlog for ya :D


@Aaron: HOLY BLUECHEESIUM! Fitting comeback. And boy did that part really feel like Hiro talking to Gimmy and Darry...

Wait.

This WAS 17 years ago right? That means Gimmy and Darry ARE 2 years old! It might've been them after all! :D

THAT would've been a good idea... except I'm not sure whether they could do the things those kids could do at two years old :heh: Would've been an awesome idea though :D

Unless Midchildan children mature and learn faster than Terrans, in which case... :eek::eek::eek:

Now now whoever said to throw them away? :nono:

Why have one when you can have twins or sisters? :D


Well...

Before I begin, let me apologize for apparently offending people. Tk spoke a lot of sense (referring to the multi-part quote below), but he also seemed to take it personally. Yes, I am extremely ignorant of how shit like time-space warping and how fast an inter-dimensional can travel. I was hoping to be helped out here, not bombarded with "OMG HAX". The whole point of my discussion is how to turn it into less hax, as I myself am extremely against hax.

:heh: You're not offending us... you just need to swing the nerf bat at your ideas.:uhoh: Oh and you can probably diregard my comments on your stuff that I posted a few hours ago...

Trial : Graveyard Digger

This last trial is a trial that you will never remember. But it is a trial that is made by that person's free choice and will.

You will have a dream you can never recall. A dream that chips away your mind, as within this dream that kills you by the seconds, you dig your grave in your own world, forced by yourself.

The only way to survive this trial is for the one you love, or the one whom is closest to your heart to enter that dream that only she can see, but not you.

And die for you. And at that moment, the grave you've built will be filled with that person's corpse, as that one's agony, love and sorrow for you at their moment of death will be instilled permanently in your heart and memories for eternity.

This is a trial that you never knew how it started, and you will never know if it'll ever end. Because to live through it... That is the trial.

Talk about a harsh trial... even if you can't remember it..

*sees logic and reason savagely mauled and laying in the gutter near the curb*

...

I'm pretty sure I warned you all about this.

*Pulls on a balaclava and loads his high caliber sniper rifle*

But you didn't listen...

*chambers the first round in his rifle and vanish from sight under a cloak*

This time I won't be so kind...
:heh: *sigh* So it's come to this has it:uhoh:
She also held a lot of respect for the researcher, Reban Innova; who was responsible for bringing her and Aurion into TSAB service in the first place. She and Aurion both seem to feel a strangely calming aura around the elderly man. This person is also the one responsible for creating Aurion and Almaria’s custom devices, namely Vega and Altair. She considers the Spectral Enforcers as the family she never had.


Barrier Jacket: She was a most noticeable figure in the Spectral Enforcers, owing to the fact that her Barrier Jacket was the only one that wasn’t an offshoot of the standard Enforcer BJ design. Her outfit contained a mostly rosy white sleeved vest with lavender accents that reaches a few inches down her waist. Her arms had lightly decorated bracers, the hands having black fingerless gloves with white knuckle-guards and her combat boots were of the lightweight type and that reached halfway up her calves. Both bracers and boots had similar color schemes to her vest. Her legs were adorned with black cycling shorts that reached halfway down her thighs. She had it designed specifically to allow her maximum mobility and flexibility during combat.

Unsurprisingly, the outfit also had the added effect (actually a nuisance, according to Aurion) of drawing the eyes of the males in then male-dominated Naval Corps. Almaria, despite being a tad embarrassed, amiably brushed off the minor irritant as irrelevant when compared to the performance boost she obtains in such a design.



Device: Intelligent Device: Altair:

http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/3502/blackholelaserpistolhv7.jpg

One of the two specialized experimental devices made by the researcher Reban Innova; the other being Aurion’s Vega. It takes the form of an energy pistol with two opposable barrels. It is outfitted with the then uncommonly used cartridge system, housing up to four cartridges at a time. It had design specifics that were only known to Reban. The A.I. has a young and polite male voice. Regarding its other specs, it has a high amount of targeting and control-amplification capability. Reban claimed that Altair and Vega would only work in their best potential when used by Almaria and Aurion; and this turned out to be true. Its portable mode takes the form of an A-shaped pendant attached to a beaded necklace.



Fighting Style: As mentioned above, her fighting style is like distinctively graceful trance. Where she seems to be simply swaying and dipping gracefully; very much like dancing whilst firing precision shots. Her movements are elegant as she seemingly weaves through attacks at a hairsbreadth of hitting her. Her barriers are impressively maneuverable, being able to deflect smaller shots and even acts as makeshift springboards if she needs to dodge quickly. Her most impressive magical skill though has to be her attacks. She oftentimes fire off moderate to high-power projectiles that are almost always quite small but have high precision and power. During close-quarters combat, when enough of these shots are in the air, an area of ten meters around her becomes an equally beautiful and deadly projectile-saturated zone. In this stage, she fully enters a trance where she dances inside the projectile deathzone, almost assuring that anybody else trapped there without suitable defenses is defeated in short order. Her degree of control over her shots is heightened by Altair’s specialized design, allowing her to control several dozen projectiles while still moving with apparent ease. Even to the point that she actually shoots herself with the controlled bullets, dodging them at the last second and making them hit her opponents instead; essentially using her own body as the enemy’s blind spot. The Lavender orbs of energy shifts at varying speeds, shifting and swirling, creating a tantalizing sight to behold.

Aurion seems to be the only person to be able to handle her techniques easily, seeing as how he usually works with her style every time they are fighting together. Not being an outright offensive mage, he tends to use pinpoint tactical shots on certain spots that allow him to stage a multi-step surgical strike. This exchange either ends up in Aurion getting hit by multiple projectiles and losing or managing to capture Almaria in a bind or hitting her with a high-knockdown power shot that ruins her mobility and eventually her trance, essentially winning the match (Aurion has been seen to defend well against Almaria’s bullets when she loses concentration). Amusingly, she gets mad at some instances where Aurion wins. Not because of the fact that she loses, but because Aurion always ends the said matches with binds on her, which she dislikes. Aurion does not change this style due to the facts that it’s one of the most efficient way in dealing against her ‘dances’ and also just to irritate her; even going as far as not releasing her for a few minutes even after the sparring has ended.

Her performance becomes several times more impressive when paired with Aurion. The two of them seems to share a strange connection that allows them to work together like a single entity. The extent of their compatibility is so great that when teamed up, they can take on enemies that exceed their overall prowess. Despite the number of Almaria’s bullets and Aurion’s illusions, they never slip in their synch and functions amazingly well.

Going by standard analysis, Almaria has the more powerful Linker Core of the two. Her focus is primarily on agile offense, preferring several lower-powered shots over high-power singular ones. However, Aurion has a noticeably faster casting time and slightly more powerful attacks than her. Her defenses are relatively decent. However, she is a bit lacking on the tactical aspects of combat, due to her reliance on her relatively omni-directional offense capabilities to cover her blind spots. This is the field where Aurion clearly trumps her aside from having better defense and speed.

Her trigger phrase is, “Burst!”

Profile: A silent and brooding person. A childhood friend, and also Almaria’s boyfriend. Was recruited into TSAB four months before Almaria. He proved to be a very talented and diligent trainee, gaining favor from the infamous Instructor Austin Abrams of the Air Force due to his commendable grit and fortitude even under the harshest of trainings. He rose fairly quickly along the ranks, earning the title of an Ace at fourteen years of age. Despite his age, he was notoriously famous for his oftentimes heartless method against opponents. He first killed a person when he was 13. He got transferred into the Navy a year after Almaria, becoming Spectrum 3 of the Spectral Enforcers. This would be his last position before the Perfect Void Incident and retiring from the army.


Personality: Serious, taciturn and a bit tactless. The Aurion from seventeen years ago can be considered worlds apart from the current one. He’s generally courteous, but can be a terrible adversary when angered. His nature as a child is rather dubious, only having a very small social circle. He finds it difficult to trust other people, initially only trusting Almaria. He prefers the company of higher-ranked and generally older people, having a large amount of respect for several of them. His peers were rather wary of him, and his attitude did little to help quell the cautious regards. Regardless, he was clear-headed and has a soft spot for kids. He generally talks with others in a polite but emotionless tone. He had a lot of interest in Device-mechanics, and took his free time as an occasional assistant to the researcher and Device-manufacturer, Reban Innova.

On a more positive note, he has somewhat lightened up through the years, thanks to the influence of other members of the Spectral Enforcers; although his abilities of sarcasm has also grown. As a soldier, he is considered to be a workaholic. To further this point, he also had a bad habit of pushing himself too much when work is involved. He's also very frugal about mundane tasks. His things are usually kept orderly. He can cook if need be, but he never bothers in making the dishes attractive. He has a bit of a soft spot for children, especially orphans such as himself. He also gets rather embarrassed when subjected to doting by elderly people.

His moral code was very utilitarian, as he had no qualms about killing a few to save several others. Almaria was very worried of this fact, remembering that Aurion was quite disturbed after his first time in killing a person. This is also the reason why he got the moniker, "Ace of the Heartless." He got his other nickname, "Hell's Inquisitor"; from the fact that he uses Willbreaker coupled with moderate to extreme physical torture when interrogating captured opponents. His main reasoning for being such is protecting those who are important to him and preventing more children like him in following the same fate.

I'm already a killer... But it doesn't matter. As long as those kids I know never end up like me. If I have to throw away my conscience in dealing with threats, so be it! Better me than them! Even if I've already become a demon, at least I'm sure I'm still able to protect what are important to me.

The only person whom Aurion seems to be completely relaxed around is Almaria. Even to the extent of taking an almost 180 degree turn in disposition. This includes actually being laid back and smiling constantly; as well as teasing her. Even when around other people, he never bothers to hide this change. Likewise, he was the only person the normally mature and professional Almaria acted completely relaxed and 'cute' with; most notably being comfortable in physical contact with him. They also like sparring with each other, with the score 35-32 in Aurion's favor.



Relationships: Needless to say, Aurion was an antisocial and cold individual to strangers. Even towards acquaintances, he rarely ever talks with them with complete sincerity, save for Almaria and some other people he respects. Gil Graham, Austin Abrams and the researcher named Reban Innova are some of the few people he holds complete respect for. The person he is closest to is without a doubt, Almaria. The reason for this stems back to when he was four... Almaria was the only person who bothered trying to talk and make friends with him, reasoning that they had the same birthday so they should at least get along well. Curiously, there was something more to their closeness than just being long-time acquaintances... A strange link that was forged between them ever since that day; allowing them a limited but accurate mutual perception. The reason behind this remains a mystery up to this day.

With that aside, his first ever, and only childhood friend was Almaria. She acted like a big sister to him, sometimes getting a reversal of roles in some circumstances. They complemented each other very well, one being stiff and emotionless while the other was bright and cheerful. As they grew up, their relationship only got stronger; culminating into being an item after one year of separation in service of TSAB.

They were really an almost perfect pair; both as people and as combatants. They worked practically flawlessly when in tandem, even at one time defeating two more-experienced S-ranked opponents despite the difference in rank, power and skill. Their abilities in combat as a pair was unbelievably good, one being a tactical and systematic aggressor and the other being a graceful range-attacker; both functioning as a single harmonized entity; almost as if having the same mind. Their lack of any melee specialization almost meant nothing when one sees them, as they support each other so well that they seemed to have a counter for just about anything, even covering flaws that both of them shared. In fact, they just worked TOO well as a team that it was almost inhuman. This was quite an oddity by those times; seeing as they seemed to be connected so well to the extent that they can actually feel each other’s presence when they are in similar locations… Some tests were run on the two, yet nothing out of the ordinary was found.

Unlike other people who've just become lovers, there's hardly any sense of shyness between them. There were also a very deep level of trust and respect for each other, assuring that they never let their adolescent impulses from taking their intimacy too far; promising each other that they will both wait until they are both old and mature enough to commit to each other. The leader of the Spectral Enforcers once made a comment that, "Che. They've just become an item. But from what I can see, their bond and understanding of each other is far, far better than most of the married couples I've seen."

He also held a lot of respect for the researcher, Reban Innova; who was responsible for bringing him and Almaria into TSAB service in the first place. He and Almaria both seem to feel a strangely calming aura around the elderly man. This person is also the one responsible for creating Aurion and Almaria’s custom devices, namely Vega and Altair. He would later also consider the Spectral Enforcers as the family he never had.



Barrier Jacket: Aurion’s Barrier Jacket was very similar to the standard Enforcer BJ design. The only noticeable difference was the darker color scheme with sharper details and a lighter frame. The performance of his requested design was significantly better than those of standard ones, allowing for good agility and defense at the same time.


Device: Intelligent Device: Vega:
http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/236/msz006beamriflerw2.jpg

One of the two specialized experimental devices made by the researcher Reban Innova; the other being Almaria's Altair. It takes the form of light energy rifle outfitted with the then uncommonly used cartridge system, housing up to four cartridges at a time. It had design specifics that were only known to Reban. The A.I. has a young and serious female voice. Regarding its other specs, it has a high amount of targeting and control-amplification capability. Reban claimed that Altair and Vega would only work in their best potential when used by Almaria and Aurion; and this turned out to be true. Its portable mode takes the form of a V-shaped pendant attached to a chain necklace. Aurion carries it around by having it wrapped around his left wrist instead of his neck. This is for almost instant access to it whenever it is needed; enabling him to whip out the rifle-device with just a flick of the wrist.


Fighting Style: Despite having very decent magic potential and combat skills, Aurion preferred to fight tactically even on the frontlines. He liked using combinations of illusion and temperature manipulation spells, essentially confusing the opponent and holding them in place with simple but effective ice spells/binds to be easily hit by finishing blows. His defenses were solid, and his speed was pretty decent. His attack capabilities were more suited for single-hit technical blows rather than battery attacks. He had particularly excellent control over few high-powered remote shot spells; being able to control them even at semi-sniping range. When close quarters combat is unavoidable, he usually surrounds himself with some Stinger Blades and uses the MEB (Magic Energy Bayonet) on Vega in order to gain distance. Given the right position, he is capable of bringing down much tougher opponents by using opportune openings and observed weaknesses to strike.

His performance becomes several times more impressive when paired with Almaria. The two of them seems to share a strange connection that allows them to work together like a single entity. The extent of their compatibility is so great that when teamed up, they can take on enemies that exceed their overall prowess. Despite the number of Almaria’s bullets and Aurion’s illusions, they never slip in their synch and functions amazingly well.

Going by standard analysis, Aurion has the less powerful Linker Core of the two. His focus is primarily on tactical offense, preferring high-power singular shots over several lower-powered ones. He also has a higher casting speed and has higher power spells when compared to her. His defenses are standard but very sturdy.

His trigger phrase is, “Attack!”

Willbreaker: A specialized depressant spell. Aurion uses this spell to impede the target’s use of cohesive thinking due to directly sending impulses to the brain that messes up the several mental functions. Direct skin contact is needed on an area near the target’s spinal column. Aurion uses his hand in touching the target’s nape for best results. No long term damage is done to brain of the target as this spell only act like a potent drug. He used this mainly in interrogating; where he would use moderate to elevated physical torture combined with this spell to easily break the wills of the interrogated.


And now, for another scenario.:D
The following is a scenario right after a severe terrorism and kidnapping incident. Several of the subjects were too dangerous and were eliminated accordingly. Aurion got the majority of the kills, managing to finish off even the leader.

*snip*


And some combination attacks!:D
*snip*



Finally!:D
This time, I sure hope he feels different from the current one. For the scene where he talks with the two kids, just imagine Setsuna from Gundam 00 talking with Gimmy and Darry from Gurren Lagann.:p Vega is based off Zeta Gundam's beam rifle.:p

And though unintentionally, I managed to put in even more rabu-rabu and some fanservice as well.:twitch::heh::eyespin::D

Comments?:D
Welcome BACK!!! :D
Well, you definately weren't slacking during your break :D

And the perfect couple is born! :D Although it's sad as well reading about this...

@Aaron: Sorry about this, but I'll read the profiles later. Right now, I'm going to go on Hypertyping mode.
:D How's the progress on the next chapter? Is it still going to be 20k words?
First Erio, and now you're going away this season :heh: We'll pile the backlog for ya :D


Add my name to the list.... Exams start Thursday:uhoh: need to hunker down an study.

Yup... Nature has had several million years for the species that inhabit this Earth to evolve their sophisticated biological systems that perform in the functions they're tasked to do efficiently. And most of them are more sophisticated and magnificently effective, sometimes better than some of our technologies. Although yes, in terms of efficiency in a given task technology still does things better. Yeah I think part of what soured this for me was all the idiots arguing for mecha that tried to bring up legs. I can't count how many times I've seen some variation on "if wheels are so great why didn't animals evolve them!" or "Bioship could heal itself so it's better!"

He really said that? :twitch::twitch::twitch::twitch::twitch:

Hope he didn't spread around that nonsense and infect people with it. :upset:
Yeah he said it (http://forum.spacebattles.com/showpost.php?p=2325097&postcount=32)… I made sure he knew it was retarded though. I might have come down on him a little hard I’ll admit, but it was just so stupid! :uhoh: Plus the instant I goggled “Radar underwater” the first link explained why it didn’t work in great detail. He clearly didn’t even bother to look in the slightest if it was vaguely possible for himself he just posted it up and then got all indignant when told how stupid it was.

Like I said later in the thread I expect people to put forth some minimal effort, if they won’t do that then don’t expect me to treat your dumb ideas like anything besides total crap when you state them. Effort is really what separates an intelligent person from a moron, if you clearly tried, but got somethings wrong I can respect that, but when you just display a total lack of will to do anything for yourself (I don't know much about this... so rather then make some attempt to learn about it I'm just gonna post something stupid.:rolleyes:)


Aaaah sou ka :) Yup, Glasses do that to a good woman :DYep, glasses and a nice classy uniform is about as good as it gets for me. :p


OC WAITS FOR NO MANOr much of anything else for that matter...

Now now whoever said to throw them away? :nono:

Why have one when you can have twins or sisters? :DBeing closely related them being well... related would make sense.


Coming to a thread close to you in the near future..


And something to try again for OCs, this time on the darker side.Got to admit I have NO IDEA what this means... :eyebrow:

First Erio, and now you're going away this season :heh: We'll pile the backlog for ya :DWait when did Erio leave? Or do you mean that time a little while ago? I guess it was like 2 weeks wasn't it? But yeah He'll probably be looking at a small mountain when he gets back...:heh::uhoh:

Sigh too tired to read content and post about it constructively should really just sleep already...

Add my name to the list.... Exams start Thursday:uhoh: need to hunker down an study.

:heh: And they're dropping one by one :heh: Good luck then :D

Yeah I think part of what soured this for me was all the idiots arguing for mecha that tried to bring up legs. I can't count how many times I've seen some variation on "if wheels are so great why didn't animals evolve them!" or "Bioship could heal itself so it's better!"


:heh:

They forget that there are cases where nature clearly lags in certain aspects. No birds could fly at Mach One in level flight, no mammal can run at 200mph, and no animal can explore the depths of space.

Yes there are still things that nature can do better (like regeneration, microflight etc...), but nothing is as simple as "end-all, be-all". See the merits of both when necessary, and how you can apply them.

Yeah he said it (http://forum.spacebattles.com/showpost.php?p=2325097&postcount=32)… I made sure he knew it was retarded though. I might have come down on him a little hard I’ll admit, but it was just so stupid! :uhoh: Plus the instant I goggled “Radar underwater” the first link explained why it didn’t work in great detail.

Quoted for undeniable truth :heh:

Like they say, better to ask and look stupid than to not ask and be stupid :heh:


Wait when did Erio leave? Or do you mean that time a little while ago? I guess it was like 2 weeks wasn't it?

Erio will be leaving for a few days on holiday, he'll be back monday :heh: Although yes, he hasn't really been posting much here for far longer back :heh:

Blaaagh, clicked away a screen with lots of replies. Apolagies if I missed something, but I'm currently in lazy-mode and not really willing to re-read 5 pages of the same stuff again to sniff out what I missed.

Given that it's totally unheard of on earth "more common" could easily still be "very rare" it could also simply be a reference to the fact magic is used pretty much AT ALL or hell even acknowledged as possible. That would indeed be unusual to someone that lived on a planet where you could look at the local news or read about what the local magic using army did over the weekend or even look up and see people flying around without planes now and again.

Its simple logic if 90% of a population can be a mage then why are any of the Aces really special hell why would they go as far as press ganging mages from other planets? If even one in 10,000 had the potential to rise to S+ rank we’d be looking at millions of them across the planets the TSAB probably controls. You could field entire armies of super mages and yet this never happens in fact a constant shortage of effective magic users seems to be more common.

A magic using population of say around 6 billion (earth recently broke 6.6 billion people and 90% of that is 5.9 and change) would using the above ratio of 1 S ranker per 10,000 mages produce 600,000 S rank mages. Now times that by say 500 planets… Even if we bump it up to 1 in 100,000 thousand we still end up with millions of S+ ranked mages.

If this is the case where the hell was the army of Nanoha and Fates level mages when the Cradle was running amok or how come we didn’t have an entire S+ platoon dealing with the BOD incident? How can forwards ranked at something like B+ can hang at all in a environment like this, etc etc. Frankly powerful (relatively) magic users being rare is the only possible justification for the tiny force levels we see the TSAB fielding, its also the only reason for them to bother training so many clearly marginal mages. If they could call upon armies of S ranks (never mind A to AAA ranks) why would they bother with guys that can’t even fly? Unless they can’t call on a veritable army of candidates and even marginal mages are rare enough to be worth training.

Touche, however, do keep in mind that the TSAB has hundreds of worlds to look after, which would explain their understaffment. Also, service in the TSAB is optional, not mandatory (as shown by Yuuno) which means that not every mage will automatically be in the TSAB.

Now, I am not saying the mage population on Mid-Childa is 90%, I find that a rather high number myself, but something along the lines of 20 to 30% sounds far more realistic, if not a bare minimum for the TSAB to even be able to exist.

Concidering the gang-pressing, I am still disputing that. The source of the gang-pressing -the novel- has shown to dispute canon before, even going as far as changing events as they happened in the anime. I am having serious trouble believeing a source that alters canon material as reliable, even more so as the gang-pressing has been directly contradicted in the series, as they gave Nanoha a choice whether she wanted to become involved or not.

You're too kind most of the time Keroko :p

Unfortunately. :heh:

But I'm thinking something like...

(Gonna need some photoshop powers though...)

Again? :eyespin:

She also held a lot of respect for the researcher, Reban Innova; who was responsible for bringing her and Aurion into TSAB service in the first place. She and Aurion both seem to feel a strangely calming aura around the elderly man. This person is also the one responsible for creating Aurion and Almaria’s custom devices, namely Vega and Altair. She considers the Spectral Enforcers as the family she never had.


Barrier Jacket: She was a most noticeable figure in the Spectral Enforcers, owing to the fact that her Barrier Jacket was the only one that wasn’t an offshoot of the standard Enforcer BJ design. Her outfit contained a mostly rosy white sleeved vest with lavender accents that reaches a few inches down her waist. Her arms had lightly decorated bracers, the hands having black fingerless gloves with white knuckle-guards and her combat boots were of the lightweight type and that reached halfway up her calves. Both bracers and boots had similar color schemes to her vest. Her legs were adorned with black cycling shorts that reached halfway down her thighs. She had it designed specifically to allow her maximum mobility and flexibility during combat.

Unsurprisingly, the outfit also had the added effect (actually a nuisance, according to Aurion) of drawing the eyes of the males in then male-dominated Naval Corps. Almaria, despite being a tad embarrassed, amiably brushed off the minor irritant as irrelevant when compared to the performance boost she obtains in such a design.



Device: Intelligent Device: Altair:

http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/3502/blackholelaserpistolhv7.jpg

One of the two specialized experimental devices made by the researcher Reban Innova; the other being Aurion’s Vega. It takes the form of an energy pistol with two opposable barrels. It is outfitted with the then uncommonly used cartridge system, housing up to four cartridges at a time. It had design specifics that were only known to Reban. The A.I. has a young and polite male voice. Regarding its other specs, it has a high amount of targeting and control-amplification capability. Reban claimed that Altair and Vega would only work in their best potential when used by Almaria and Aurion; and this turned out to be true. Its portable mode takes the form of an A-shaped pendant attached to a beaded necklace.



Fighting Style: As mentioned above, her fighting style is like distinctively graceful trance. Where she seems to be simply swaying and dipping gracefully; very much like dancing whilst firing precision shots. Her movements are elegant as she seemingly weaves through attacks at a hairsbreadth of hitting her. Her barriers are impressively maneuverable, being able to deflect smaller shots and even acts as makeshift springboards if she needs to dodge quickly. Her most impressive magical skill though has to be her attacks. She oftentimes fire off moderate to high-power projectiles that are almost always quite small but have high precision and power. During close-quarters combat, when enough of these shots are in the air, an area of ten meters around her becomes an equally beautiful and deadly projectile-saturated zone. In this stage, she fully enters a trance where she dances inside the projectile deathzone, almost assuring that anybody else trapped there without suitable defenses is defeated in short order. Her degree of control over her shots is heightened by Altair’s specialized design, allowing her to control several dozen projectiles while still moving with apparent ease. Even to the point that she actually shoots herself with the controlled bullets, dodging them at the last second and making them hit her opponents instead; essentially using her own body as the enemy’s blind spot. The Lavender orbs of energy shifts at varying speeds, shifting and swirling, creating a tantalizing sight to behold.

Aurion seems to be the only person to be able to handle her techniques easily, seeing as how he usually works with her style every time they are fighting together. Not being an outright offensive mage, he tends to use pinpoint tactical shots on certain spots that allow him to stage a multi-step surgical strike. This exchange either ends up in Aurion getting hit by multiple projectiles and losing or managing to capture Almaria in a bind or hitting her with a high-knockdown power shot that ruins her mobility and eventually her trance, essentially winning the match (Aurion has been seen to defend well against Almaria’s bullets when she loses concentration). Amusingly, she gets mad at some instances where Aurion wins. Not because of the fact that she loses, but because Aurion always ends the said matches with binds on her, which she dislikes. Aurion does not change this style due to the facts that it’s one of the most efficient way in dealing against her ‘dances’ and also just to irritate her; even going as far as not releasing her for a few minutes even after the sparring has ended.

Her performance becomes several times more impressive when paired with Aurion. The two of them seems to share a strange connection that allows them to work together like a single entity. The extent of their compatibility is so great that when teamed up, they can take on enemies that exceed their overall prowess. Despite the number of Almaria’s bullets and Aurion’s illusions, they never slip in their synch and functions amazingly well.

Going by standard analysis, Almaria has the more powerful Linker Core of the two. Her focus is primarily on agile offense, preferring several lower-powered shots over high-power singular ones. However, Aurion has a noticeably faster casting time and slightly more powerful attacks than her. Her defenses are relatively decent. However, she is a bit lacking on the tactical aspects of combat, due to her reliance on her relatively omni-directional offense capabilities to cover her blind spots. This is the field where Aurion clearly trumps her aside from having better defense and speed.

Her trigger phrase is, “Burst!”

Up next, young! Aurion's profile!:D


@Lowe: Maraming salamat, Kabayan!:D

@Tk: Thanks for the HAXXbusting while I was away.:D And yes, I seem to have a jinx with computers... -_-

More Almaria! :D:D:D

Her combat style is surprisingly similar to Keroko, albeit far more focussed on the range aspect. More points for Almaria. :nod::nod::nod:

That would also explain how Aurion defeated Keroko, he's had years of experience with such a fighting syle.

Now it's my turn to disappear for about two weeks. Don't miss me.

Have fun/good luck, whichever aplies better to what you're going to do. :heh:

And be sure to have a bluecheesium filled comeback. :D

Touche, however, do keep in mind that the TSAB has hundreds of worlds to look after, which would explain their understaffment. Also, service in the TSAB is optional, not mandatory (as shown by Yuuno) which means that not every mage will automatically be in the TSAB.

Now, I am not saying the mage population on Mid-Childa is 90%, I find that a rather high number myself, but something along the lines of 20 to 30% sounds far more realistic, if not a bare minimum for the TSAB to even be able to exist.

I am having serious trouble believeing a source that alters canon material as reliable, even more so as the gang-pressing has been directly contradicted in the series, as they gave Nanoha a choice whether she wanted to become involved or not.
Not really the US army for instance uses less then 1% of the population (and is consider pretty big) and the majority of the people still haven’t served in it. So it’s not like you’d need some HUGE portion of the populace to fuel it.

I also happen to think conscription is used as well which drives down the needed percentage even more.

It really only makes sense when you’re entire system of combat revolves around people with a specific talent or skill just hoping enough of them to feed you’re military will join freely is rather foolish. I think we can both agree that the number of people qualified to be mages is lower then the number of people qualified to join a modern army and many all volunteer forces already have minor recruiting issues, now the TSAB has basiclly totally ditched a normal army so it’s mages or bust when any kind of force is needed AND they need to cover a wider area. They’re going to need everyman they can get hoping that the limited number of useful mages around joins them is a rather bad way to do business…

I just can’t see them coming across some guy with SS potential or something and just letting him totally opt out and go work in an office… It would be insane, and even in many modern democratic nations conscription for special skills is still technically possible. It wouldn’t even matter if he was poorly motivated one poorly motivated SS rank would probably still be worth hundreds of well motivated scrubs. That’s was why I found the idea of press ganging not all that unlikely, in a situation like this where some people are clearly simply better then others and always will be no matter what the others do, and by a fairly massive margin in some cases, conscription becomes the only really sane path.

When you don’t have a huge pool to draw from you can’t afford to let people decide not to play. I’m sure they’re treated nice given lots of money, good positions, fast promotions, etc and the term of service is probably only like 10 years starting at around say 18. (with one being able to opt in soonerand get it over with), but I also don’t think vainly hoping that a steady stream of the best mages are going to opt to join your army is a viable approach. Say enlistment takes a down swing maybe a scandal or something a mid version of the hippy movement whatever, and for some reasons say the top 100 mages of that generation decide they don’t feel like joining the army? Your old heavy hitters cycle out… NOW what do you do? You’ve got a huge hole in your force that you can’t really plug.

I'm sure they're perfectly willing to accept eager volunteers (as indeed is any modern army that uses conscription), but relying on that alone would be insane given the kind of system they're trying to run.

And now, for young!Aurion's profile!

Name: Aurion Dauer
Nickname: Ace of Heartless/Hell’s Inquisitor
Callsign: Spectrum 3
Gender: Male
Age: 17 (17 years prior to StrikerS)
Birthday: 29th March in the Earth Calendar
Occupation/s: TSAB Enforcer
Rankings: Registered mage ranking: Air mage: AAA+
Height: 5’11"
Weight: 162 lbs.
Eyes: Black
Hair: Dark blue, unkempt
Magic Style: Mid-Childa
Magic Color: Cobalt Blue in different hues
Usual wear: TSAB Naval Forces Uniform
Specialization: Frontline Tactical Support
Devices: Intelligent Device: Vega
Seiyuu: Mamoru Miyano


Profile: A silent and brooding person. A childhood friend, and also Almaria’s boyfriend. Was recruited into TSAB four months before Almaria. He proved to be a very talented and diligent trainee, gaining favor from the infamous Instructor Austin Abrams of the Air Force due to his commendable grit and fortitude even under the harshest of trainings. He rose fairly quickly along the ranks, earning the title of an Ace at fourteen years of age. Despite his age, he was notoriously famous for his oftentimes heartless method against opponents. He first killed a person when he was 13. He got transferred into the Navy a year after Almaria, becoming Spectrum 3 of the Spectral Enforcers. This would be his last position before the Perfect Void Incident and retiring from the army.


Personality: Serious, taciturn and a bit tactless. The Aurion from seventeen years ago can be considered worlds apart from the current one. He’s generally courteous, but can be a terrible adversary when angered. His nature as a child is rather dubious, only having a very small social circle. He finds it difficult to trust other people, initially only trusting Almaria. He prefers the company of higher-ranked and generally older people, having a large amount of respect for several of them. His peers were rather wary of him, and his attitude did little to help quell the cautious regards. Regardless, he was clear-headed and has a soft spot for kids. He generally talks with others in a polite but emotionless tone. He had a lot of interest in Device-mechanics, and took his free time as an occasional assistant to the researcher and Device-manufacturer, Reban Innova.

On a more positive note, he has somewhat lightened up through the years, thanks to the influence of other members of the Spectral Enforcers; although his abilities of sarcasm has also grown. As a soldier, he is considered to be a workaholic. To further this point, he also had a bad habit of pushing himself too much when work is involved. He's also very frugal about mundane tasks. His things are usually kept orderly. He can cook if need be, but he never bothers in making the dishes attractive. He has a bit of a soft spot for children, especially orphans such as himself. He also gets rather embarrassed when subjected to doting by elderly people.

His moral code was very utilitarian, as he had no qualms about killing a few to save several others. Almaria was very worried of this fact, remembering that Aurion was quite disturbed after his first time in killing a person. This is also the reason why he got the moniker, "Ace of the Heartless." He got his other nickname, "Hell's Inquisitor"; from the fact that he uses Willbreaker coupled with moderate to extreme physical torture when interrogating captured opponents. His main reasoning for being such is protecting those who are important to him and preventing more children like him in following the same fate.

I'm already a killer... But it doesn't matter. As long as those kids I know never end up like me. If I have to throw away my conscience in dealing with threats, so be it! Better me than them! Even if I've already become a demon, at least I'm sure I'm still able to protect what are important to me.

The only person whom Aurion seems to be completely relaxed around is Almaria. Even to the extent of taking an almost 180 degree turn in disposition. This includes actually being laid back and smiling constantly; as well as teasing her. Even when around other people, he never bothers to hide this change. Likewise, he was the only person the normally mature and professional Almaria acted completely relaxed and 'cute' with; most notably being comfortable in physical contact with him. They also like sparring with each other, with the score 35-32 in Aurion's favor.



Relationships: Needless to say, Aurion was an antisocial and cold individual to strangers. Even towards acquaintances, he rarely ever talks with them with complete sincerity, save for Almaria and some other people he respects. Gil Graham, Austin Abrams and the researcher named Reban Innova are some of the few people he holds complete respect for. The person he is closest to is without a doubt, Almaria. The reason for this stems back to when he was four... Almaria was the only person who bothered trying to talk and make friends with him, reasoning that they had the same birthday so they should at least get along well. Curiously, there was something more to their closeness than just being long-time acquaintances... A strange link that was forged between them ever since that day; allowing them a limited but accurate mutual perception. The reason behind this remains a mystery up to this day.

With that aside, his first ever, and only childhood friend was Almaria. She acted like a big sister to him, sometimes getting a reversal of roles in some circumstances. They complemented each other very well, one being stiff and emotionless while the other was bright and cheerful. As they grew up, their relationship only got stronger; culminating into being an item after one year of separation in service of TSAB.

They were really an almost perfect pair; both as people and as combatants. They worked practically flawlessly when in tandem, even at one time defeating two more-experienced S-ranked opponents despite the difference in rank, power and skill. Their abilities in combat as a pair was unbelievably good, one being a tactical and systematic aggressor and the other being a graceful range-attacker; both functioning as a single harmonized entity; almost as if having the same mind. Their lack of any melee specialization almost meant nothing when one sees them, as they support each other so well that they seemed to have a counter for just about anything, even covering flaws that both of them shared. In fact, they just worked TOO well as a team that it was almost inhuman. This was quite an oddity by those times; seeing as they seemed to be connected so well to the extent that they can actually feel each other’s presence when they are in similar locations… Some tests were run on the two, yet nothing out of the ordinary was found.

Unlike other people who've just become lovers, there's hardly any sense of shyness between them. There were also a very deep level of trust and respect for each other, assuring that they never let their adolescent impulses from taking their intimacy too far; promising each other that they will both wait until they are both old and mature enough to commit to each other. The leader of the Spectral Enforcers once made a comment that, "Che. They've just become an item. But from what I can see, their bond and understanding of each other is far, far better than most of the married couples I've seen."

He also held a lot of respect for the researcher, Reban Innova; who was responsible for bringing him and Almaria into TSAB service in the first place. He and Almaria both seem to feel a strangely calming aura around the elderly man. This person is also the one responsible for creating Aurion and Almaria’s custom devices, namely Vega and Altair. He would later also consider the Spectral Enforcers as the family he never had.



Barrier Jacket: Aurion’s Barrier Jacket was very similar to the standard Enforcer BJ design. The only noticeable difference was the darker color scheme with sharper details and a lighter frame. The performance of his requested design was significantly better than those of standard ones, allowing for good agility and defense at the same time.


Device: Intelligent Device: Vega:
http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/236/msz006beamriflerw2.jpg

One of the two specialized experimental devices made by the researcher Reban Innova; the other being Almaria's Altair. It takes the form of light energy rifle outfitted with the then uncommonly used cartridge system, housing up to four cartridges at a time. It had design specifics that were only known to Reban. The A.I. has a young and serious female voice. Regarding its other specs, it has a high amount of targeting and control-amplification capability. Reban claimed that Altair and Vega would only work in their best potential when used by Almaria and Aurion; and this turned out to be true. Its portable mode takes the form of a V-shaped pendant attached to a chain necklace. Aurion carries it around by having it wrapped around his left wrist instead of his neck. This is for almost instant access to it whenever it is needed; enabling him to whip out the rifle-device with just a flick of the wrist.


Fighting Style: Despite having very decent magic potential and combat skills, Aurion preferred to fight tactically even on the frontlines. He liked using combinations of illusion and temperature manipulation spells, essentially confusing the opponent and holding them in place with simple but effective ice spells/binds to be easily hit by finishing blows. His defenses were solid, and his speed was pretty decent. His attack capabilities were more suited for single-hit technical blows rather than battery attacks. He had particularly excellent control over few high-powered remote shot spells; being able to control them even at semi-sniping range. When close quarters combat is unavoidable, he usually surrounds himself with some Stinger Blades and uses the MEB (Magic Energy Bayonet) on Vega in order to gain distance. Given the right position, he is capable of bringing down much tougher opponents by using opportune openings and observed weaknesses to strike.

His performance becomes several times more impressive when paired with Almaria. The two of them seems to share a strange connection that allows them to work together like a single entity. The extent of their compatibility is so great that when teamed up, they can take on enemies that exceed their overall prowess. Despite the number of Almaria’s bullets and Aurion’s illusions, they never slip in their synch and functions amazingly well.

Going by standard analysis, Aurion has the less powerful Linker Core of the two. His focus is primarily on tactical offense, preferring high-power singular shots over several lower-powered ones. He also has a higher casting speed and has higher power spells when compared to her. His defenses are standard but very sturdy.

His trigger phrase is, “Attack!”

Willbreaker: A specialized depressant spell. Aurion uses this spell to impede the target’s use of cohesive thinking due to directly sending impulses to the brain that messes up the several mental functions. Direct skin contact is needed on an area near the target’s spinal column. Aurion uses his hand in touching the target’s nape for best results. No long term damage is done to brain of the target as this spell only act like a potent drug. He used this mainly in interrogating; where he would use moderate to elevated physical torture combined with this spell to easily break the wills of the interrogated.


And now, for another scenario.:D
The following is a scenario right after a severe terrorism and kidnapping incident. Several of the subjects were too dangerous and were eliminated accordingly. Aurion got the majority of the kills, managing to finish off even the leader.

…………… No longer a human…

A lanky figure can be seen slumped over a broken wall, his eyes covered by the fringes of his hair. He’s clutching a device in the form of a rifle. He was almost a statue, if not for the light heaving of his chest.

What made that bastard so different from the rest? How come his words managed to bother me this much?

His grip on his device tightens as he grits his teeth, trying to will away the maddening crazed tone from replaying in his head…

Shut up…

c’mon! kill me now! you know you want to!

Shut up…

this is just what I want if I don’t get to win! hahahaha! you’re just the same as me! killing is nothing more than second nature, huh, gaki?!

Shut up…

you say that those you protect is the reason for your actions, but the truth is… your just using this reason as the reason to kill more!

Shut up…

that girl… she means nothing when it comes to your work, don’t you thi-

“Damare!” the quiet but clear word burst out of his mouth as he slammed his fist onto the wall behind him, creating several cracks on the worn concrete. His heaving got heavier as he tried to regain his composure.

And that’s… when I killed him… Why am I having these doubts now? Haven’t I promised myself of a never-wavering certainty? Kuso… Naze da?!

~~~~~~~~~~~

“Ungh!” Almaria gasped and clutched her chest, surprised by the sudden alien pain that didn’t come from her. Aurion…

“Onee-chan?” the three kids in front of her simultaneously exclaimed with worry.

“Ah… I-I’m fine…” She forced out a gentle smile. But later looked over worriedly over her shoulder, her dearest friend in her mind…

‘Aurion… Do you need to talk?’

‘You finish the ending procedures first, please… I’m okay… I just need a break… That last fight took a lot more than necessary out of me…’

‘U-understood…’

‘By the way, sorry about that. I’ll try to calm down a bit…’

Almaria’s expression only became more worried. ‘Please don’t worry about me. You’re talking to me after this, alright?’

‘Hai, hai… Onee-chan…’

~~~~~~~~~~

I should have known Almaria would sense my discomfort… Aurion berated himself as he placed his knuckle on his forehead, a rueful smile playing on his lips. Making a girl worry just because of a little emo moment… Hahaha…

“Onii-chan! Onii-chan!”

“Huh?” Aurion opened his eyes, the sight of two very young kids, one girl and one boy greeting him. Sighing lightly, he smiled and faced them properly, also letting Vega form back into a necklace to wrap around his wrist. It was probably because of the similarities with him, he always found it rather comforting around kids like them… “How may I help you?”

The younger kid, the girl, only moved forward and presented him with a small bowl of fruits, “Here Onii-chan! You looked tired so we decided to bring you some snacks!”

The boy then spoke up, “Yeah! You should also take a break at a proper place instead of out here! All those cool moves must have been tiring!”

“Wha-?” as it would seem, it looks like these two were the ones who saw him fighting off the last terrorist… “Thanks… But I’m alright here.”

The girl look a bit hurt, but shook her head and once again offered the bowl, “B-but at least take some!”
“Yeah, please! She picked the fruits herself!”

“Oh…” Aurion blinked and then smiled warmly, reaching over and picking one fruit from the bowl, “Thanks… Itadakimasu.” He then took a bite out of the fruit… And it turned out to be really good. “Hmm… It’s great.” are his words as he gazed at the younger child with a smile, making her blush cutely.

The older of the two started talking enthusiastically, “Say, Onii-chan. When I grow up, I want to be an Enforcer just like you!”

“Hoh?” Aurion’s eyebrows rose with intrigue. “For what reason, may I ask?”

The kid started bouncing on his heels in excitement, “So I can do all those cool things you did a while ago!”

“Hah?”

“You know; those awesome shots and then that last large beam that you used to finish the bad guy off!” the kid was now positively giddy with enthusiasm, “I want to be able to do those too and beat up the bad guys!”

“Uh…” Aurion only gaped back in trepidation at the child… Talking about his job like it was just some sort of game… Is this what that person meant as people starting to see killing as entertainment?

“Yeah! And then that-”
“No…”
“Heh?”

Aurion silently shook his head and dropped a reprimanding hand on the head of the young boy.

“O-onii-chan?”

“That’s… not what it means to be an Enforcer like me…”

No… This isn’t what I live for…

“I didn’t enlist in this job to be able to fight and defeat bad people…”

“Then what-?”

“Do you know? I never feel happy every time I kill a person, no matter how bad they are; no matter how much I dislike them…”

I knew this the very moment I enlisted into TSAB…

“Ah-?”

“No matter what reason, no matter what people from opposing sides feel, it all comes down to the fact that we are hurting and killing each other… Tell me, do you honestly think that you will be happy if you just mindlessly kill people your commanders and rules brand as bad?”

Killing isn’t my desire… It is only my duty…

“O-ore…”

“Besides, it is not our primary duty to fight. It is to stop things like this from happening… But that also isn’t the reason why I stick to this job…”

My reason is…

“So… Onii-chan… Why are you an Enforcer then? Why are you still one when you’re not happy about it?”

“I’m glad you asked…” Aurion replies as he reaches over and pats the girl’s head as well, “What makes me happy… Is the fact that I know I am able to protect those that are important to me. As well as protecting the people who shouldn’t be harmed by the activities of people like them…” he turns back to the boy, “Instead of trying to be a hero and accomplishing nothing except being guilty for your actions… Why not just become someone that can make other people happy and not harm them?”

This.

The two kids only stared back in awe at him’ clearly thinking about what he just said.

“Well… Do you understand me?”

The boy looked shameful for several moments before perking up and smiling again, “Yes! But I’m still going to be an Enforcer like you!”

“Huh?”

“But… I’ll become one so I can protect my sister, my family and those that need to be protected! That way, everybody can be happy, right?”
“Niichan…”
“I promise that, my sister!”
“Ah, hai!”

Aurion couldn’t help but chuckle in relief and ruffle the two kids’ hair, “That’s better…”

“Aurion! The procedures have been finished!” Almaria’s voice chimed out over the other side of the wall, “The commander is also calling for us now!”

“Ahh. Understood!” Aurion called back. Turning back to the two kids, “Well, I have to go now. Remember what I said, okay?”

“Hai!”

“Thanks…” Aurion picks up another fruit, “Mind if I take another one?”

The girl blushes again and shakes her head, “No! They’re all for you, anyway…”

“Just two is enough. Give the rest to those who needs it.”

“Hai.”

Standing up, Aurion started walking towards Almaria’s location while accompanied by the two kids, eating along the way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just as Aurion and the two kids rounded the last corner, Almaria’s distraught tone resounded clearly in the air, “I-iya~! W-what are you doing?!”

“Heh?” Aurion looks with confusion at the direction of the cry of surprise, only to hold back a sudden impulse of laughter at his girlfriend’s current predicament.

The children had obviously gained a liking to Almaria, and clearly didn’t want her to leave just yet. Each of her arms was held by a pair of hands from two of the other three children they saved. The shortest kid had latched himself to her legs, hugging her around the knees; essentially pinning her legs together and holding her down on the spot. She was already blushing slightly as she tried to gently detach the children from her body. However, she wasn’t faring very well and had no choice but to try not losing balance.

“C’mon, Onee-chan! Just play with us a little longer!”

“Ah… But I already have to leave. I’ll just-Oo-ooh! Hanashite~!”

“Iyada! Stay here longer!”

“Aurion, tasukete~!”

Instead of trying to help, Aurion simply planted his face on his palm and snickered, much to Almaria’s indignation.

‘Aurion!’

‘Hey, you got yourself into this, you get yourself out.’

‘Uu~! But they might-’

Aurion cut her off in mid-thought, ‘Can’t say no to kids, Onee-chan?’

She gave him a glare as her face grew redder, ‘Why do you always have to be mean to me?!’

‘I’m just being honest, Almaria.’

‘Mou~!’ she then started to loose her balance. “A-ahn~!” and fell down on her rear as even more children, including the boy Aurion talked to earlier, latched themselves unto her helpless form. “Uu~! Mou, yamete~!” she whined endearingly as she squirmed weakly against her little captors’ hugging restraints.

“IYADA!”

Aurion chuckled some more before glancing down while smiling at his device in portable form, “Everything recorded, Vega?”

[Yes... Though why are you making me record this irrelevant scene?]

“Just for entertainment’s sake.” is his only reply as he idly spun the V-shaped pendant between his fingers. “Well, I guess this should do…” he then raises his voice, “Oi, kids! That’s enough!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After some considerable coaxing, the children reluctantly released their unlikely ‘hostage’, who promptly threw herself into Aurion’s arms in relief. After some more goodbyes, Aurion and Almaria flew off towards the rendezvous point.

After gaining some distance from the place, Almaria turned to her boyfriend flying beside her, “You no longer seemed to be troubled as much, Aurion…”

“Yeah. Thanks to those kids…”

“There are a lot of good children there, don’t you think?”

“Hmm…” Aurion nods, later shooting Almaria an amused glance, “Pretty good at clinging to a certain girl as well.”

“Mou!”

“Hey, it just goes to prove how easily you can get popular with us guys, regardless of age or location.”

“But I never asked for that to happen!”

“Oh, you don’t need to ask. I suppose it’s just an out-of-control inherent skill.”

“Uu~, hidoi~!”

“In what way is complementing you about your obvious attractiveness being mean?”

“I am NOT some sort of male-magnet!”

“Hahaha! Whatever, princess. We’re going to have such a good laugh when we get back!”

“Hey! I know you took a video of me a while ago! Delete that!”

“Heeh~? Why? You looked so cute struggling while you were being accosted by those kids.”

“Aurion, erase it now! Please?”

“No go…” Aurion then proceeds to speed up his flight.

“Aurion!” Almaria gives chase, though not having much luck due to his higher flight maneuverability. She would later give up and fly forward with puffed cheeks, with the intention of beating him to the base.

Aurion only stares ahead at his in a huff girlfriend while chuckling. A few moments later, the previous scenarios today would replay in his mind.


……………………


Not this crap again… That bastard’s last words are tenacious, huh?

you know you want t-
You’re wrong!

Aurion, slightly lagging behind the high speed flight, contemplated the recent events in his mind. I’m… not going to be like you… Aurion glances at Almaria’s lithe frame, which was flying a few meters ahead of him. He closes his eyes tightly as he concentrates on his sworn duty. I cherish the people and things that I must protect… This isn’t just my duty… This is my conviction! We may both be devils now… But I’m a different devil compared to you.

He once again opens his eyes, only to find Almaria’s face right in front of his. He wasn’t able to notice her slowing down and positioning directly opposed to him. “Almaria?”

“Aurion…”

“What are you-?” Aurion tried to talk but was cut short and rendered speechless by Almaria’s lips meeting his; eyes widening in surprise.

Almaria pulled back, revealing her melancholic eyes focused at him, “Daijoubu…” she said softly, just enough to let him hear her voice over the rushing air, “Don‘t let his words get to you… You are different… Because I know more than anybody else can; that we are important to you.” Her eyes shone with faith in him, “Dakara… Please stay the same… Our-…My reliable but silent partner.” She then smiled encouragingly.

Aurion could only gaze back at his girlfriend, an uncertain emotion in his eyes, “Orewa…” Aurion once again closes his eyes in deep thought.

“Aurion?” Almaria flies closer. “Are you al-Mmmphh!” it was her turn to be rendered speechless as Aurion kissed her this time. She let out a breathless gasp, her face blushing brightly as he pulled back and grinned roguishly.

“You don’t have to worry. Since I’m already sure with the matter myself…” Aurion said while still grinning. Despite these words, his heart felt lighter and more reassured. “Regardless, thank you Almaria.”

Almaria blushed prettily and nodded while smiling. “Don’t worry. I’m always here for you, just as you’re always there for me.”

A small silence formed between the two as they stared at each other; their own personal resolve strengthening with each passing moment. Aurion would break the silence a few moments later.

“Ahh. But…” Aurion’s smile grew wider, “I’m still keeping this video!” he then held out his left wrist bearing Vega; watching Almaria’s face flush darkly before speeding away laughing. And as if that wasn’t enough, “I wonder how much they would pay if I had this auctioned at the base!”

“Ah-ah… I…” Almaria stammered as she saw him zoom away. She then shakes her head furiously and glowers at quickly zipping away Aurion, speeding up her flight as well, “AURION! Come back here, you baka!”

“Hahahaha!”

The rest of the team could only shake their heads in wonder at the laughing couple who reached them later.

Yes… as long as I have them… I won’t hesitate. I’m sure about this… This is all someone like me can do. And I’ll make sure I won’t fail!

And some combination attacks!:D
COMBINATION ATTACKS: Aurion and Almaria’s almost absolute empathic link allowed them for a number of combination assaults as a single unit.

Dual Turbo Blitz Strike/D.T.B.S: One of their combination attacks, this one being set as the ranged attack. Almaria would initiate her trance with more than a hundred bullets of mixed Impact and Piercer Bolts using two cartridges. She would then start advancing towards the opponent. Aurion would first engage one enemy up close; letting Almaria’s shots (all of which amazingly never even graze him) cover for his lack of melee specialization. He would then either bind or incapacitate the opponent with any appropriate spell (usually using two cartridges for best effect), falling back into Almaria’s blizzard of projectiles afterwards. At this point, he would join Almaria and her shots in completely mauling down the opponent with innumerable energy projectiles, finishing the assault when Aurion Sonic Moves behind the opponent and stabs the enemy with his MEB (using up another cartridge) and shoot him/her towards Almaria. She would then shoot with her own MEB followed by a Kinetic Buster (using up her remaining cartridges), blowing back the enemy towards Aurion for him to finish off with a cartridge-boosted Break Impulse. A definitive elimination maneuver, the target is not expected to make it out alive after this.

Eye of the Storm Assault/E.S.A.: The close-ranged variation of the first combination assault. Almaria and Aurion would simultaneously engage the adversary up close with a staggering amount of controlled shots. They would rely on their agility, Aurion’s occasional illusions and the sheer volume of the shots to avoid any counterattacks the enemy might try.



Finally!:D
This time, I sure hope he feels different from the current one. For the scene where he talks with the two kids, just imagine Setsuna from Gundam 00 talking with Gimmy and Darry from Gurren Lagann.:p Vega is based off Zeta Gundam's beam rifle.:p

And though unintentionally, I managed to put in even more rabu-rabu and some fanservice as well.:twitch::heh::eyespin::D

Comments?:D

When I saw Ace of Heartless, I couldn't help thinking, KINGDOM HEARTS :D


Eh? What's this about?

I was wondering wether to put it in or not, but I thought, "To hell with it!":p
It's a running gag, if you think about it.:p Almaria, Hayate, Reinforce, Signum, some of Satty's female OC's... All victims one way or another of his binds when it comes right down to it.:p It IS a lot less of a hassle instead of trying to hold them down on those circumstances.:p

I am so expecting people to start twisting these words when they see it...:rolleyes::eyespin::eyespin::p

And impressive spell list there :)

Thanks.:D

Zeta Gundam's beam rifle?! When can we see the Hyper Mega Launcher? :D:D:D:p

Sorry. No Full Drive.:heh::heh::heh:

Cool to see the differences between young Aurion and old, and very nice and sweet scenes with Aurion/Almaria there, especially with the latter easing the former on his problems from the previous battle, though that scene with the children could be taken out of context on audio alone...

Like I said, unintentional fanservice.:D:heh:

Wonder if that tape still exists... :uhoh::)

And Combo Attacks FTW!!!!! :D:D:D

Reminds me of Kinon and Shari.:heh:

@Aaron: Sorry about this, but I'll read the profiles later. Right now, I'm going to go on Hypertyping mode.

It's ok.:) As long as your not bothered while cooking that delicious-looking BLUECHEESIUM buffet!:D

Aaron-style quality strikes again and what a hit! :bow:

Thanks.:D

Aurion gets a upgrade to his profile as well. :D

I added the Frost Cannon as temperature manipulation shouldn't be requiring much elemental alignment. Chrono knows about it from his studies.:D And Proton Buster was there for the non-elemental Buster spell.:D I do hope the skill set for his younger version looks balanced.:heh:

Expect a Frost Bomber and Proton Buster additions in the main profile of the current Aurion.:D

Very nice scenario going on there and of course Zeta's beam rifle and combo attacks are WIN. :D

Thanks again.:D

Welcome BACK!!! :D
Well, you definately weren't slacking during your break :D
:bow: Some nice stuff there :D *thumbs up* The device pictures were really good!

Thanks!:D

And the perfect couple is born! :D Although it's sad as well reading about this...

Knowing how it will end up in the future pained me for quite a lot as well.:( The more enjoyment I get from making their closeness clearer, the more phantom pain I feel when i think about the big picture later.:upset: But i won't let this stop me!:mad: If this is all I can do for my favorite female OC, then I'll do her eventual demise with as much justice as I can by making her as alive as she can be in the hearts of those who read about her!:frustrated::heh:

It's still sad, though.:( I'm actually wondering wether I should do the profiles of the top two of the Spectral Enforcers. Based on Akio and Sanae from CLANNAD.:)

Akio = EXTREME Kamina-like charisma and likes to looks at cute girls.:heh: Also spouts a lot of nonsense at times but very intelligent.:D
Sanae = Motherly character. The only person in TSAB who could make Aurion embarrassed due to being doted upon (he used to have a weakness against being cared for by parent-figures. The trying-to-act-tough-I-can-manage-myself schtick.:D).:heh::D

Basically Aurion and Almaria's parent-figures in the squad.:) But I don't know if I can take the pain of doing more characters with the same fate as Almaria...:upset:

More Almaria! :D:D:D

:nod::nod::nod:

Her combat style is surprisingly similar to Keroko, albeit far more focussed on the range aspect. More points for Almaria. :nod::nod::nod:

Thanks.:D I dind;t expect it to be similar.:heh:

That would also explain how Aurion defeated Keroko, he's had years of experience with such a fighting syle.

I could work with that!:D



@Kha: Good luck with the trip, Danchou!:D

Not really the US army for instance uses less then 1% of the population (and is consider pretty big) and the majority of the people still haven’t served in it. So it’s not like you’d need some HUGE portion of the populace to fuel it.

I see, statement withdrawn then.

I also happen to think conscription is used as well which drives down the needed percentage even more.

It really only makes sense when you’re entire system of combat revolves around people with a specific talent or skill just hoping enough of them to feed you’re military will join freely is rather foolish. I think we can both agree that the number of people qualified to be mages is lower then the number of people qualified to join a modern army and many all volunteer forces already have minor recruiting issues, now the TSAB has basiclly totally ditched a normal army so it’s mages or bust when any kind of force is needed AND they need to cover a wider area. They’re going to need everyman they can get hoping that the limited number of useful mages around joins them is a rather bad way to do business…

I just can’t see them coming across some guy with SS potential or something and just letting him totally opt out and go work in an office… It would be insane, and even in many modern democratic nations conscription for special skills is still technically possible. It wouldn’t even matter if he was poorly motivated one poorly motivated SS rank would probably still be worth hundreds of well motivated scrubs. That’s was why I found the idea of press ganging not all that unlikely, in a situation like this where some people are clearly simply better then others and always will be no matter what the others do, and by a fairly massive margin in some cases, conscription becomes the only really sane path.

When you don’t have a huge pool to draw from you can’t afford to let people decide not to play. I’m sure they’re treated nice given lots of money, good positions, fast promotions, etc and the term of service is probably only like 10 years starting at around say 18. (with one being able to opt in soonerand get it over with), but I also don’t think vainly hoping that a steady stream of the best mages are going to opt to join your army is a viable approach. Say enlistment takes a down swing maybe a scandal or something a mid version of the hippy movement whatever, and for some reasons say the top 100 mages of that generation decide they don’t feel like joining the army? Your old heavy hitters cycle out… NOW what do you do? You’ve got a huge hole in your force that you can’t really plug.

I'm sure they're perfectly willing to accept eager volunteers (as indeed is any modern army that uses conscription), but relying on that alone would be insane given the kind of system they're trying to run.

I don't care that its insane if they don't use conscription, the point is that it flies in the face of canon. It is proven through multiple sources that the abillity to use magic does not make one required to enter the TSAB service. Yuuno, Nanoha, Caro's dragon summoning clan, all are examples of magic users that are not in service of the TSAB. Nanoha, a 9 year old AAA ranked mage, was given a choice between living her life on earth or joining the TSAB. This shows that they are willing to let high potentional mages go.

Thanks.:D I dind;t expect it to be similar.:heh:

I could work with that!:D

In terms of ranged attacks, Keroko's control with multi-target attacks surpass Nanoha, and she prefers dodging over attacking.

On the other hand, she's rather bad at buster like siege attacks, needing either a large charge time or cartridges to provide an instant mana-boost. And it'll still pale in comparison to Nanoha's.

HEHHH~ :D

What, you think didn't know? People keep reminding me of it all the time. :heh:

Don't pretend you don't like it :p

Now when did I say that? ;)

And now, for young!Aurion's profile!

And now, for another scenario.:D
The following is a scenario right after a severe terrorism and kidnapping incident. Several of the subjects were too dangerous and were eliminated accordingly. Aurion got the majority of the kills, managing to finish off even the leader.

*snip*


Finally!:D
This time, I sure hope he feels different from the current one. For the scene where he talks with the two kids, just imagine Setsuna from Gundam 00 talking with Gimmy and Darry from Gurren Lagann.:p Vega is based off Zeta Gundam's beam rifle.:p

And though unintentionally, I managed to put in even more rabu-rabu and some fanservice as well.:twitch::heh::eyespin::D

Another thing about the potion, when the effect runs out. The user would still preserved their memory of the time they were under the spell... And they would also know the feeling they felt for whoever it is that they saw...

And something to try again for OCs, this time on the darker side. Credits to FlameSparkZ for bringing the original questionnaire here. :D

1. Pick any of your OCs to answer.
2. Plan out their responses
3. Results! And what you make of them. :heh:



1. Mental or physical?
2. Pain or pleasure?
3. What’s your strength/specialization?
4. Swords or guns?
5. Ever tire of anything?
6. Any terrible experience in the past or dark secrets?
7. Did anything that haunts you until now?
8. Made any promises? If yes, what was the promise?
9. What would you give to protect those around you?
10. Any commitments in life?
11. Reliant on any person/people?
12. Closest person to you? Who?
13. Abandoned anyone?
14. Hurt anyone before?
15. Hurt by anyone before?
16. Made any choices you wish you could change now?
17. Lost anything precious?
18. One life for another?
19. Would you kill anything that threatens the lives of your family and friends?
20. Killed any people close to you by your own hand?
21. Any final thoughts?



And of course I'll start first. :D



1. Mental
2. Pain, if you're talkin' about inflicting them
3. Efficient, I always get the job done. *snickers*
4. Both works for their intended purposes but I prefer swords.
5. Not at all.
6. Not any that I'll count as but I'll say I caused a fair amount of them to others.
7. Not one, I'll do what I have to do.
8. Not one person I could make a promise anyway. *snorts*
9. Don't have any, unless I'm trapped in a hellhole and I need them as my meat shields.
10. Runnin'. Heh.
11. No better choice than myself.
12. Parents but their dead since I was a kid anyway.
13. Plenty but they were lucky to come back.
14. More than Avatar can keep track of. *grins*
15. The benefit of staying the hell away from people, I don't.
16. Regrets? Not for me.
17. I'll be corny and say innocence when I took my first life. No turnin' back from there there isn't.
18. As long as it'll serve my purposes.
19. I got none to speak of currently, and not a chance in a rat's ass of that happening.
20. I'm beginning to sound like a old and broke record, no.
21. Negative.





1. That's a tough pick. Mental since the mind is the most interesting plaything around. *wide smile*
2. Both. At the same time. *glint in eyes*
3. Getting things done my way. *glint gets brighter*
4. Dagger.
5. Being bored. Luckily that's easily dispelled.
6. I have my share but I'm not telling yet. *turns away*
7. None at all. I consider my actions carefully.
8. Promises were meant to be broken from the time they were made.
9. Hm? Nothing, unless I see they have something I want.
10. Enjoying myself as thoroughly as I can.
11. No one stays by my side long enough for that to happen.
12. Not alive any longer so thats irrelevant.
13. I wouldn't say that. They just couldn't accept my absence thats all, the fools.
14. Plenty. Although that is putting it lightly. *faint smile*
15. No one got close enough before to do that. *eyes narrow sharply*
16. It's pointless to think of such trivial things.
17. Beliefs. Just as well I did, it's a pain to carry those with you.
18. No other way about that but sometimes the cost of one is not equal to the cost of many.
19. Only possible if you have any. *tilts her head up with a far away look etched on her face*
20. Yes.Strange isn't it?
21. I'm sure you can get more of my thoughts soon enough. *winks*


More meme? The questions are a bit shorter this time. I'll delay doing this till I'm done with OC Fel. :)

Oh, fun. I love these kinds of things...I need to make one of my own sometime. Sorekara...


1. Ummm...physical, I guess. I am a fighter...but I'm not a stupid grunt.
2. *grins* Hehe...the best feelings come from a balance of both...
3. Combat, I guess. That or artificing. Depends on what you need.
4. Lances. And I've never fired a gun in my life.
5. *laughs* Following orders!
6. *shadowed eyes* Many...too fucking many...
7. I don't look back. If something in my past troubles me, I force it from my will, as if it never existed.
8. Yes. I promised the Dark Angel...[her personification of Death] that I would not die a natural death. When my time comes, I will be killed in battle, by a stronger warrior than I.
9. *clenches fist* I protect with my life. It's what gives me the will to carry this spear...
10. Fight. And keep fighting. Until the day I die...
11. Reliance on another person is a sign of weakness. I rely on my own strength.
12. Aozora-kun...the one person I have allowed myself to become attached to. He and I both know how fragile that kind of
13. *angry* Abandon...I hate that word. I HATE IT. It's an act worthy of damnation.
14. Close to me, you mean...? Probably. I've learned how to hurt...and heal.
15. *laughs* I don't allow myself to feel emotional pain because of others' actions. I don't need it and I don't want it.
16. *closes eyes* Choices...so many goddamn choices. If I could do it all over again...I don't know where my path would lead me.
17. I died once. I was lucky to get that back...
18. A choice I make every day. If I have to kill one to save one, I'll do it every time. And never look back.
19. *humorless laugh* I already have. And I likely will again.
20. ...No. But if I had to, I...would...
21. *closes eyes and smiles* This dark stuff is my thing...I'm a blackheart, aren't I...


I don't think I'll do anyone else's now. Asuka's so much darker than even I thought...and it's that much more interesting. My others are too light for this one.

And those new emoticons are hostile. I think I'll refrain from any new hax for a while. Reminds me, I really will have a de-haxed Lyria later today. Damn having no free time...:heh:

I would abandon, but my teacher cast me to another world so I could stay alive...
No.
Yes...
I have but...that's now in the past, I can't change what happened then.
Several...
...That's how it works.
If they don't heed my warnings, then yes...
I didn't, but someone important to me did die in my arms...
I...I don't want those things to happen again...ever.





[LIST=1]
Mental!
*blushes, looks around and whispers* Pleasure.
Hmmm~ *thinks* Ice Magic~
How about a rod?
Being alone...
Not really...except 'that' one...
Nope.
Only that promise I made to myself.
I'd give my best to portect everyone, even if it...cost my life.
Just to be with everyone I like.
I try not to be a burden, but I know Onii-chan will help me if I need to.
Onii-chan *smiles*
Never.
I don't think so.
No.
A couple of them, yes...
No.
It can't be helped...
I wouldn't kill, but I'd sure lock it in really thick ice!
No.
I hope everything stays the way it has been, well...maybe a some changes wouldn't hurt *smirks*


That's it for now :heh:

I don't care that its insane if they don't use conscription, the point is that it flies in the face of canon. It is proven through multiple sources that the abillity to use magic does not make one required to enter the TSAB service. Yuuno, Nanoha, Caro's dragon summoning clan, all are examples of magic users that are not in service of the TSAB. Nanoha, a 9 year old AAA ranked mage, was given a choice between living her life on earth or joining the TSAB. This shows that they are willing to let high potentional mages go.

Frankly, I don't see how you can defend such a position. For Nanoha, especially, the only evidence says that she was only given the illusion of a choice. I don't know, maybe Lindy will somehow be able to fix things if Nanoha refused, but that's not the standard procedure. The standard procedure, according to canon, says that she gets impressed (18th century British style).

Trying to use the contradiction to excise unfavorable evidence is worthy of the SW EU-deniers (remember our previous discussion on the existence of that faction?) Your rationalization is precisely one of the reasons they use. Further, without a defined canon prioritization order*, it is not even clear which direction should be excised*, and whichever is higher doesn't matter because all you can excise are those portions that are in direct contradiction, and there is definitely no contradiction on this point.

*SW puts the film on top. However, what is really more likely in cases like this is arguably that the book is closer to reality, and the anime is a prettied up version for the audience, with ugly stuff like the Impressment being brushed under the carpet like the Ewok casualties in ROTJ (which are mentioned mostly in the novelization which of course is not a 100% match with the film either).

Well, that's Nanoha. The only way you can say "Conscription flies in the face of canon" is if you have already presumed that Conscription is a Bad Thing (how it is worse than letting wimpy volunteers suffer un-necessary casualties is unclear) and the TSAB is a goody-goody association.

As for Yunno, you will notice that he already joined the TSAB before the issue could be settled. Conscription isn't generally for life - it is generally for a few years and then you are released.

As for the age of conscription, volunteers are committed for the long haul so you recruit them as young as possible, train them and indoctrinate them your own way (so they don't want to leave), as well as make use of them for the maximum possible period (from 10-50 is 40 years, from 20-50 is only 30).

Conscripts are different. You can only set one age for grabbing them for equality and you only keep them a few years at most, so you want to grab them at their young prime, not while they are in development. In other words, you won't conscript them when they are 10. You will wait till they are 17-18, maybe even a little older. That way, they'd average at a much higher level of development and you can spend less time teaching them basics and more time using them.

In other words, it is just as likely that the Scrya clan and the Lushes both have their people undergo conscripted service, and it is just that Yunno already joined before the draft board came for him.

Oh, and don't forget Erio. You remember how the government goons separated him from his parents in a completely un-necessary fashion. If he broke the law, the correct move is typically not just to take away the son, it is to arrest the parents. Since that wasn't done, a major law wasn't being broken, and thus the only reason to grab Erio is because he had special qualities. So he's placed in an orphanage in utter misery, and a carrot (Fate) is conveniently placed in front of him so he joins admiring good ol' Fate. Again, he was already recruited before the Draft Crunch can realistically come for him.

Finally, note that since the main point of a draft in this case is to grab quality personnel, it is ALSO possible to draft by Selective Service, with most being rejected for the draft (rather than a small minority as is typical) and only the best mages being drafted forcefully.

Haven't we been through this in the Military Discussion already? Give me even one line in the manga, anime or even sound stages to support the arguement that the TSAB drafts or impresses mages into their service.

Not this time, since the novel has a completely contradictory outcome for the ep11 battle between Nanoha and Fate, followed by a rematch after they dealt with Precia. That pushes the novel so far off the anime's established events that concepts from it can be discarded at will.

If a topic w/i my interest zone comes to my attention, I'd post almost anywhere.

Yeah, I notice too. I thought that was over and done with.

Not this time, since the novel has a completely contradictory outcome for the ep11 battle between Nanoha and Fate, followed by a rematch after they dealt with Precia. That pushes the novel so far off the anime's established events that concepts from it can be discarded at will.

1) Oh, so you get to arbitrarily decide on a difference limit before you just decide you can throw a full source away? Especially one that just happens to be mildly inconvenient to your cause?
2) It is proper to excise a book which is probably around 50% completely new (the Contradiction is not what I call a New part), including one whole section on Precia?
3) Is it even justifiable to presume that the anime necessarily has canonical precedence? Maybe (g*d forbid) it is the anime that should get excised*

*Both books and animations are by necessity replicas of the original - you can fool yourself that live action is a "documentary" (the framework typically used for Star Wars SoD debating) but you can't with anime, especially with anime that is potentially completely redrawn once for TV and once for DVD. Given that, a text would probably have higher authenticity.

4) Having said all that, I admit I'd have to make a major correction. In the heat of answering, I forgot to note that the novel does not say that she'd be conscripted straight into the TSAB military, only that she has to be taken off Earth. Rather big error, I'd admit. My only defense is that 1) neither Keroko, Tk3997 or you noticed either, and 2) I was going to force myself up at 4AM local time to fix it but you've answered already so I'd just correct it here. Mea culpa

5) So I'd massively revise my statement to say instead that the Normal Procedure is for an unwilling Nanoha to be impressed off Earth. Where she'd be placed in that "care facility" which all available visual evidence tells us is fairly unpleasant (see reproductions of said facilities in StrikerS anime). It won't be long before a career in the TSAB looks like a sweet alternative to most people.

Anyway, there's really nothing in the show to refute the idea of conscription either. One is thus surprised at the vehemence of opinion against that whole concept which Keroko at least seems to think is reasonable (I'm guessing this based on his emphasis on canon). While I can actually buy that the TSAB will not conscript, doing so will be pure stupidity (see also my related opinions on the sentoukijin project for example) rather than morality. I can buy that the TSAB will be stupid enough not to conscript. I'm skeptical of whether they're nice enough, and even more about whether the decision Not to Conscript is indeed Nice in the grander scheme of things.

So...much...backlog :eyespin:

Been trying to figure out how to do a post like this for a while and I finally got a good idea :). Takes place after Early Reflections (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1210382&postcount=13399).


"Sham~"

I looked up from my comfortable position on the couch over at the kitchen. Through the door I could see my mother smiling at me as she was doing the dishes after dinner. She didn't have to say another word as I immediately knew what she wanted. With a silent sigh, I roll off the couch and maneuver my way around my two sisters to go wipe the dishes. Sometimes I wonder why I have to do so many chores around the house while my sisters can just sit around and watch TV. Of course, the answer is always the same:

"You're the oldest and need to set a good example for your sisters. Plus you need to learn some responsibilities."

Even though that's why mom and dad tell me, I can't help but wonder if it's really because they like the free labor, a.k.a. their son. As I helped with the dishes, I couldn't help but glance out the kitchen window at the evening sky. Dinner tonight was a bit later than usual since dad was working late on some big engineering project at work. What it was, he really couldn't say. If it's anything like the other things I've seen him help make, it's gonna be very cool.

With the dishes washed, dried, and put neatly away I hang up the damp towel and flop back down on my original spot on the couch. Mom came in a short while later with her papers from work that she needed to finish. Dad was on the other end of the couch reading the paper for the day. My two sisters, Arael and Armisael, were on the floor watching some cartoon on the TV. I don't really pay much attention to what they watch nowadays as I don't find those shows as interesting anymore. Now anime, that's something completely different. That reminds me...I need to get a copy of that newer series from my friends when I see them at school.

CRASH

I instinctively dove of the couch as the window behind me shattered. My sisters screamed, diving for cover next to me at the base of the couch. What the hell was that? Some punks on a drive-by?

Lifting my head up, I took a quick survey around to try and find out what it was that went through the window. Besides all the shattered glass I couldn't see anything. The TV was black, but no damage to the screen. Huh...when did they turn it off?

"Come out, come out where ever you are~"

My parents were instantly on their feet and peering out the window. Apparently whoever it was that broke the window was still outside. I picked up my sisters and pulled them away from the couch towards the kitchen as I saw my mother heading for the phone and dialing for who I presume was 911.

"What do you want? Who are you?" I could hear my dad shouting out the window.

"You know what I want."

Turning my head I could see mom slamming the phone back on the cradle. The phone lines are dead? Just who is this guy? We don't have anything of real value in here...

My thoughts are broken as I feel my mother grabbing my arm and ushering us towards the rear door of the house. Like most houses here, ours had a door that lead out into the backyard. Made it so much easier to get outside than having to go out the front and all the way around the house. Rushing into to the backyard, I presumed we were going to cut through the neighbor's yard to get away. At least, that was until we saw a figure blocking out intended path of escape.

"Ah, I don't think so."

That voice...if was the same guy from outside! But how did he know we were going out here? How did he even get here so fast? I could feel my mother holding us protectively as she stared him down. He was an odd-looking man, maybe around my parent's age with his black hair pulled back into a ponytail. What got my attention was his clothes. It was...odd. Long pants with boots and some kinda cape attached to the waist. His jacket wasn't closed, exposing his chest and there was some kind of armor on his shoulders and wrists. Some kind of new clothing style or something? Or maybe some cosplayer on drugs?

Behind us, I heard my dad run out the door and stand between us and him. He held two broom handles in his hands, tossing one to my mother. I felt her stand up and then stand next to my father.

"Shamsel," I looked up at my father, his back still facing us, "Take your sisters and run."

To say I was shocked would be an understatement. I looked between mom and dad and then to my frightened siblings and then back to the man who remained in his spot, a smug look on his face.

"But..."

"Just go. Go and protect them as an older brother should."

I took a deep breath, letting the words and situation sink in to my mind. Slowly standing, I grabbed my sisters' hands and pulled them to their feet. The next thing I knew I was running with them in front of me towards the street.

"We love you, remember that," I could hear mom and dad shout as I ran, but I never stopped...I never looked back.

The road seemed so far away. After what seemed like an eternity, we made it to the road and made our way down the street. Why was this happening? Why now? Why to us? As we ran down the block, something poked from the back of mind. Where was everyone? It was then that I realized no one had come out to investigate the noise. There was no sounds of cars or birds or anything for that matter. What was going on?

I don't know what it was, but something brought me to a stop as I pulled my sisters in close. Next thing I knew the road in front of us exploded, showering asphalt and dirt everywhere. After a few seconds I looked up, making sure that they were alright.

"Tich...trying to avoid all the fun are we?"

That voice...I whip around and go wide-eyed as the strange man stands where the road exploded. How did he...? At that point, it didn't really matter how he got there, but rather that he WAS there. I grab my sisters and sprint off in the other direction, the small detail of him floating over the crater completely lost in the moment.

Running was all I could do at the moment, fueled by pure adrenaline and determination to protect my sisters. I didn't know where I was going, but taking a quick look around I found we had come back to in front of our house. Something was on the road up ahead. I couldn't tell what it was in the dark, but as we got closer...

I stopped dead in my tracks, quickly averting my sisters' eyes. No...it wasn't possible, right? This all just some kind of bad dream, right? As much as I wanted it to be, the bodies of my parents lying on the road in a pool of their own blood was very much reality. They had died to protect us...I had to get...

"Boo."

Jerking around I find myself staring at the stranger. Before I could do anything, he wraps his hand around my neck and lifts me off the ground. He was really strong. I desperately try to free myself, kicking and clawing at whatever I could reach as he laughed.

"Aw...how cute. Since those two didn't have it...that must mean one of you does."

'It'? What is 'it'? Behind me I could hear feet running on the road. They must be trying to get away Maybe if I can keep his focus on me...

Sharp screams catch my attention as I desperately try to see what happened. He couldn't have done anything to them! He was standing in the same spot holding onto me! Did he have a partner or something? A twin? As if to brag, he turns me so I can see behind me. This...wasn't possible. How could...this be?

"It's just a simple magic bind. Or are you just trying to feign your ignorance, owner of the Book of Darkness?"

Magic? Bind? Book of Darkness? What...what was going on? What was he talking about? Magic doesn't exist! But...I couldn't think of any other explanation at the time for the bands of light that held my sisters captive a few inches above the ground.

"Hmmm...perhaps I might just need to 'persuade' you to hand over the Book of Darkness..."

I let out a sharp gasp as I find myself bound in a similar manner. Is this...really magic? Or maybe some black-opts government technology? My thoughts are broken as I see the man walking over to Arael, the youngest sister. He extends his hand and a...a sword of some kind just materializes! What the HELL is going on here?!

"Such a waste of beauty..."

The sound of slitting flesh...of screams of horror...of blood dripping onto the road below. It was all so sudden. I could hear my other sister screaming and...is that me? Yes, I was also screaming. I struggled desperately against the bindings, trying to find some way of getting out. My eyes...I couldn't tear them away as I could only watch Arael's eyes widen in pure horror, her mouth open in a silent scream. And then...her binds giving way, letting her slump lifelessly onto the floor next to my parents.

"Well, guess she didn't have it. Next~"

I don't think I ever stopped screaming. My pleas were left unanswered as he stood in front of Armisael, sword still dripping crimson fluid from its tip. I don't know why I couldn't pull my eyes away or even close them. Maybe it was the shock of the whole situation or maybe it was some of his 'magic.' Whatever it was I could only watch and scream as he ran her through.

Tears? When had I started crying? They wouldn't stop coming...the tears and the screaming. My family was lying before me...dead. He turns to face me, sword poised and ready.

"And then there was one. I believe you have a saying here, 'third time's a charm.'"

Everyone became silent. Maybe I had lost my voice, but my screaming stopped as I stared at my soon to be killer. I had failed my parents. I promised to protect my sisters...to be the big brother and keep them safe. I failed...I failed them...to keep them safe...to protect them. The sword was thrust forward to wards me chest to end it all...

And I screamed.

----------------------------------
Shamsel bolted upright in bed, eyes wide in terror and mouth open in a silent scream. His breathing was raged and quick as his eyes slowly adjusted to the dim light of the room. Trying to calm himself down, he closes his eyes and takes deep breaths. His clothes were soaked in a cold sweat, some still dripping him his forehead...no it wasn't sweat. It was tears.

A quick glance at his clock showed it was 10 minutes before he usually awoke. The images...the sounds...the feelings were all still fresh in his mind. He brings his knees up to his chest and wraps his arms around them as he buries his face in his knees...

...and cries.

If someone had been there, the might have heard him silently mumbling to himself as the tear continued to come:

"I failed to protect you...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

The tears would continue to come until his morning alarm went off, signaling the start of a new day.

"I'll be back."

Why do you think he tends to answer in monosyllables and is exceedingly formal all the time?



Halloween Special, Chapter VIII: 45% complete. Lots of battles, and lots of madness as Yuunodas and his 300 Mid-Childans suddenly jump in.

"Mid-Childans!" one of the renegade Belkan mages shouted. "Put down your weapons!"

"Belkans!" Instantly all the 300 soldiers executed the phalanx. "Come and take them!"

Hooray!!

Now GO FASTER!!!



If there are different categories:

Sophia = Tsundere, Nekomimi & Mikofuku categories
Saber = ??? (dunno the name >_<)
Kia = MILF
Allie = Lolicon
Sak-chan = MoeGAR & Chibi
Nagato = Silent moe
Valkyrie = Dojikko & Chibi-meganekko

Saber's got quite a lot of competition coming from Marina, Relena and possibly Arthura Zara. :uhoh:


Well, I have Mel...

<pauses> Tsundere? No. Dojikko? Kinda, but not really? MILF? Definitely not. Yamato Nadeshiko? Not even Earthling...

She looks great in a swimsuit...



I don't suppose anybody had seen the Teen Titans movie where they went to Japan :heh: ?


Sure.

Starfire's probably my favorite - her version of English is just too funny.


In anycase, who do you think we should have in this contest? The obvious few are....

01. Keroko
02. Maren
03. Mai
04. ???
05. ???
06. ???
07. ???
08. ???
09. ???
10. ???


P.S - Not a moe competition :p

Mel Yoshitaka.

She's probably the best looking, and definitely the most racked out of the current list.

She also held a lot of respect for the researcher, Reban Innova; who was responsible for bringing her and Aurion into TSAB service in the first place. She and Aurion both seem to feel a strangely calming aura around the elderly man. This person is also the one responsible for creating Aurion and Almaria’s custom devices, namely Vega and Altair. She considers the Spectral Enforcers as the family she never had.


Barrier Jacket: She was a most noticeable figure in the Spectral Enforcers, owing to the fact that her Barrier Jacket was the only one that wasn’t an offshoot of the standard Enforcer BJ design. Her outfit contained a mostly rosy white sleeved vest with lavender accents that reaches a few inches down her waist. Her arms had lightly decorated bracers, the hands having black fingerless gloves with white knuckle-guards and her combat boots were of the lightweight type and that reached halfway up her calves. Both bracers and boots had similar color schemes to her vest. Her legs were adorned with black cycling shorts that reached halfway down her thighs. She had it designed specifically to allow her maximum mobility and flexibility during combat.

Unsurprisingly, the outfit also had the added effect (actually a nuisance, according to Aurion) of drawing the eyes of the males in then male-dominated Naval Corps. Almaria, despite being a tad embarrassed, amiably brushed off the minor irritant as irrelevant when compared to the performance boost she obtains in such a design.



Device: Intelligent Device: Altair:

http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/3502/blackholelaserpistolhv7.jpg

One of the two specialized experimental devices made by the researcher Reban Innova; the other being Aurion’s Vega. It takes the form of an energy pistol with two opposable barrels. It is outfitted with the then uncommonly used cartridge system, housing up to four cartridges at a time. It had design specifics that were only known to Reban. The A.I. has a young and polite male voice. Regarding its other specs, it has a high amount of targeting and control-amplification capability. Reban claimed that Altair and Vega would only work in their best potential when used by Almaria and Aurion; and this turned out to be true. Its portable mode takes the form of an A-shaped pendant attached to a beaded necklace.



Fighting Style: As mentioned above, her fighting style is like distinctively graceful trance. Where she seems to be simply swaying and dipping gracefully; very much like dancing whilst firing precision shots. Her movements are elegant as she seemingly weaves through attacks at a hairsbreadth of hitting her. Her barriers are impressively maneuverable, being able to deflect smaller shots and even acts as makeshift springboards if she needs to dodge quickly. Her most impressive magical skill though has to be her attacks. She oftentimes fire off moderate to high-power projectiles that are almost always quite small but have high precision and power. During close-quarters combat, when enough of these shots are in the air, an area of ten meters around her becomes an equally beautiful and deadly projectile-saturated zone. In this stage, she fully enters a trance where she dances inside the projectile deathzone, almost assuring that anybody else trapped there without suitable defenses is defeated in short order. Her degree of control over her shots is heightened by Altair’s specialized design, allowing her to control several dozen projectiles while still moving with apparent ease. Even to the point that she actually shoots herself with the controlled bullets, dodging them at the last second and making them hit her opponents instead; essentially using her own body as the enemy’s blind spot. The Lavender orbs of energy shifts at varying speeds, shifting and swirling, creating a tantalizing sight to behold.

Aurion seems to be the only person to be able to handle her techniques easily, seeing as how he usually works with her style every time they are fighting together. Not being an outright offensive mage, he tends to use pinpoint tactical shots on certain spots that allow him to stage a multi-step surgical strike. This exchange either ends up in Aurion getting hit by multiple projectiles and losing or managing to capture Almaria in a bind or hitting her with a high-knockdown power shot that ruins her mobility and eventually her trance, essentially winning the match (Aurion has been seen to defend well against Almaria’s bullets when she loses concentration). Amusingly, she gets mad at some instances where Aurion wins. Not because of the fact that she loses, but because Aurion always ends the said matches with binds on her, which she dislikes. Aurion does not change this style due to the facts that it’s one of the most efficient way in dealing against her ‘dances’ and also just to irritate her; even going as far as not releasing her for a few minutes even after the sparring has ended.

Her performance becomes several times more impressive when paired with Aurion. The two of them seems to share a strange connection that allows them to work together like a single entity. The extent of their compatibility is so great that when teamed up, they can take on enemies that exceed their overall prowess. Despite the number of Almaria’s bullets and Aurion’s illusions, they never slip in their synch and functions amazingly well.

Going by standard analysis, Almaria has the more powerful Linker Core of the two. Her focus is primarily on agile offense, preferring several lower-powered shots over high-power singular ones. However, Aurion has a noticeably faster casting time and slightly more powerful attacks than her. Her defenses are relatively decent. However, she is a bit lacking on the tactical aspects of combat, due to her reliance on her relatively omni-directional offense capabilities to cover her blind spots. This is the field where Aurion clearly trumps her aside from having better defense and speed.

Her trigger phrase is, “Burst!”

Up next, young! Aurion's profile!:D


@Lowe: Maraming salamat, Kabayan!:D

@Tk: Thanks for the HAXXbusting while I was away.:D And yes, I seem to have a jinx with computers... -_-

Read as quickly as I could, as little as I could, except for the spell list and Device origin in order to avoid any sadness as further comparison to my special someone.

Looks good.

And now, for young!Aurion's profile!

~snip~


And now, for another scenario.:D
The following is a scenario right after a severe terrorism and kidnapping incident. Several of the subjects were too dangerous and were eliminated accordingly. Aurion got the majority of the kills, managing to finish off even the leader.

…………… No longer a human…

A lanky figure can be seen slumped over a broken wall, his eyes covered by the fringes of his hair. He’s clutching a device in the form of a rifle. He was almost a statue, if not for the light heaving of his chest.

What made that bastard so different from the rest? How come his words managed to bother me this much?

His grip on his device tightens as he grits his teeth, trying to will away the maddening crazed tone from replaying in his head…

Shut up…

c’mon! kill me now! you know you want to!

Shut up…

this is just what I want if I don’t get to win! hahahaha! you’re just the same as me! killing is nothing more than second nature, huh, gaki?!

Shut up…

you say that those you protect is the reason for your actions, but the truth is… your just using this reason as the reason to kill more!

Shut up…

that girl… she means nothing when it comes to your work, don’t you thi-

“Damare!” the quiet but clear word burst out of his mouth as he slammed his fist onto the wall behind him, creating several cracks on the worn concrete. His heaving got heavier as he tried to regain his composure.

And that’s… when I killed him… Why am I having these doubts now? Haven’t I promised myself of a never-wavering certainty? Kuso… Naze da?!

~~~~~~~~~~~

“Ungh!” Almaria gasped and clutched her chest, surprised by the sudden alien pain that didn’t come from her. Aurion…

“Onee-chan?” the three kids in front of her simultaneously exclaimed with worry.

“Ah… I-I’m fine…” She forced out a gentle smile. But later looked over worriedly over her shoulder, her dearest friend in her mind…

‘Aurion… Do you need to talk?’

‘You finish the ending procedures first, please… I’m okay… I just need a break… That last fight took a lot more than necessary out of me…’

‘U-understood…’

‘By the way, sorry about that. I’ll try to calm down a bit…’

Almaria’s expression only became more worried. ‘Please don’t worry about me. You’re talking to me after this, alright?’

‘Hai, hai… Onee-chan…’

~~~~~~~~~~

I should have known Almaria would sense my discomfort… Aurion berated himself as he placed his knuckle on his forehead, a rueful smile playing on his lips. Making a girl worry just because of a little emo moment… Hahaha…

“Onii-chan! Onii-chan!”

“Huh?” Aurion opened his eyes, the sight of two very young kids, one girl and one boy greeting him. Sighing lightly, he smiled and faced them properly, also letting Vega form back into a necklace to wrap around his wrist. It was probably because of the similarities with him, he always found it rather comforting around kids like them… “How may I help you?”

The younger kid, the girl, only moved forward and presented him with a small bowl of fruits, “Here Onii-chan! You looked tired so we decided to bring you some snacks!”

The boy then spoke up, “Yeah! You should also take a break at a proper place instead of out here! All those cool moves must have been tiring!”

“Wha-?” as it would seem, it looks like these two were the ones who saw him fighting off the last terrorist… “Thanks… But I’m alright here.”

The girl look a bit hurt, but shook her head and once again offered the bowl, “B-but at least take some!”
“Yeah, please! She picked the fruits herself!”

“Oh…” Aurion blinked and then smiled warmly, reaching over and picking one fruit from the bowl, “Thanks… Itadakimasu.” He then took a bite out of the fruit… And it turned out to be really good. “Hmm… It’s great.” are his words as he gazed at the younger child with a smile, making her blush cutely.

The older of the two started talking enthusiastically, “Say, Onii-chan. When I grow up, I want to be an Enforcer just like you!”

“Hoh?” Aurion’s eyebrows rose with intrigue. “For what reason, may I ask?”

The kid started bouncing on his heels in excitement, “So I can do all those cool things you did a while ago!”

“Hah?”

“You know; those awesome shots and then that last large beam that you used to finish the bad guy off!” the kid was now positively giddy with enthusiasm, “I want to be able to do those too and beat up the bad guys!”

“Uh…” Aurion only gaped back in trepidation at the child… Talking about his job like it was just some sort of game… Is this what that person meant as people starting to see killing as entertainment?

“Yeah! And then that-”
“No…”
“Heh?”

Aurion silently shook his head and dropped a reprimanding hand on the head of the young boy.

“O-onii-chan?”

“That’s… not what it means to be an Enforcer like me…”

No… This isn’t what I live for…

“I didn’t enlist in this job to be able to fight and defeat bad people…”

“Then what-?”

“Do you know? I never feel happy every time I kill a person, no matter how bad they are; no matter how much I dislike them…”

I knew this the very moment I enlisted into TSAB…

“Ah-?”

“No matter what reason, no matter what people from opposing sides feel, it all comes down to the fact that we are hurting and killing each other… Tell me, do you honestly think that you will be happy if you just mindlessly kill people your commanders and rules brand as bad?”

Killing isn’t my desire… It is only my duty…

“O-ore…”

“Besides, it is not our primary duty to fight. It is to stop things like this from happening… But that also isn’t the reason why I stick to this job…”

My reason is…

“So… Onii-chan… Why are you an Enforcer then? Why are you still one when you’re not happy about it?”

“I’m glad you asked…” Aurion replies as he reaches over and pats the girl’s head as well, “What makes me happy… Is the fact that I know I am able to protect those that are important to me. As well as protecting the people who shouldn’t be harmed by the activities of people like them…” he turns back to the boy, “Instead of trying to be a hero and accomplishing nothing except being guilty for your actions… Why not just become someone that can make other people happy and not harm them?”

This.

The two kids only stared back in awe at him’ clearly thinking about what he just said.

“Well… Do you understand me?”

The boy looked shameful for several moments before perking up and smiling again, “Yes! But I’m still going to be an Enforcer like you!”

“Huh?”

“But… I’ll become one so I can protect my sister, my family and those that need to be protected! That way, everybody can be happy, right?”
“Niichan…”
“I promise that, my sister!”
“Ah, hai!”

Aurion couldn’t help but chuckle in relief and ruffle the two kids’ hair, “That’s better…”

“Aurion! The procedures have been finished!” Almaria’s voice chimed out over the other side of the wall, “The commander is also calling for us now!”

“Ahh. Understood!” Aurion called back. Turning back to the two kids, “Well, I have to go now. Remember what I said, okay?”

“Hai!”

“Thanks…” Aurion picks up another fruit, “Mind if I take another one?”

The girl blushes again and shakes her head, “No! They’re all for you, anyway…”

“Just two is enough. Give the rest to those who needs it.”

“Hai.”

Standing up, Aurion started walking towards Almaria’s location while accompanied by the two kids, eating along the way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just as Aurion and the two kids rounded the last corner, Almaria’s distraught tone resounded clearly in the air, “I-iya~! W-what are you doing?!”

“Heh?” Aurion looks with confusion at the direction of the cry of surprise, only to hold back a sudden impulse of laughter at his girlfriend’s current predicament.

The children had obviously gained a liking to Almaria, and clearly didn’t want her to leave just yet. Each of her arms was held by a pair of hands from two of the other three children they saved. The shortest kid had latched himself to her legs, hugging her around the knees; essentially pinning her legs together and holding her down on the spot. She was already blushing slightly as she tried to gently detach the children from her body. However, she wasn’t faring very well and had no choice but to try not losing balance.

“C’mon, Onee-chan! Just play with us a little longer!”

“Ah… But I already have to leave. I’ll just-Oo-ooh! Hanashite~!”

“Iyada! Stay here longer!”

“Aurion, tasukete~!”

Instead of trying to help, Aurion simply planted his face on his palm and snickered, much to Almaria’s indignation.

‘Aurion!’

‘Hey, you got yourself into this, you get yourself out.’

‘Uu~! But they might-’

Aurion cut her off in mid-thought, ‘Can’t say no to kids, Onee-chan?’

She gave him a glare as her face grew redder, ‘Why do you always have to be mean to me?!’

‘I’m just being honest, Almaria.’

‘Mou~!’ she then started to loose her balance. “A-ahn~!” and fell down on her rear as even more children, including the boy Aurion talked to earlier, latched themselves unto her helpless form. “Uu~! Mou, yamete~!” she whined endearingly as she squirmed weakly against her little captors’ hugging restraints.

“IYADA!”

Aurion chuckled some more before glancing down while smiling at his device in portable form, “Everything recorded, Vega?”

[Yes... Though why are you making me record this irrelevant scene?]

“Just for entertainment’s sake.” is his only reply as he idly spun the V-shaped pendant between his fingers. “Well, I guess this should do…” he then raises his voice, “Oi, kids! That’s enough!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After some considerable coaxing, the children reluctantly released their unlikely ‘hostage’, who promptly threw herself into Aurion’s arms in relief. After some more goodbyes, Aurion and Almaria flew off towards the rendezvous point.

After gaining some distance from the place, Almaria turned to her boyfriend flying beside her, “You no longer seemed to be troubled as much, Aurion…”

“Yeah. Thanks to those kids…”

“There are a lot of good children there, don’t you think?”

“Hmm…” Aurion nods, later shooting Almaria an amused glance, “Pretty good at clinging to a certain girl as well.”

“Mou!”

“Hey, it just goes to prove how easily you can get popular with us guys, regardless of age or location.”

“But I never asked for that to happen!”

“Oh, you don’t need to ask. I suppose it’s just an out-of-control inherent skill.”

“Uu~, hidoi~!”

“In what way is complementing you about your obvious attractiveness being mean?”

“I am NOT some sort of male-magnet!”

“Hahaha! Whatever, princess. We’re going to have such a good laugh when we get back!”

“Hey! I know you took a video of me a while ago! Delete that!”

“Heeh~? Why? You looked so cute struggling while you were being accosted by those kids.”

“Aurion, erase it now! Please?”

“No go…” Aurion then proceeds to speed up his flight.

“Aurion!” Almaria gives chase, though not having much luck due to his higher flight maneuverability. She would later give up and fly forward with puffed cheeks, with the intention of beating him to the base.

Aurion only stares ahead at his in a huff girlfriend while chuckling. A few moments later, the previous scenarios today would replay in his mind.


……………………


Not this crap again… That bastard’s last words are tenacious, huh?

you know you want t-
You’re wrong!

Aurion, slightly lagging behind the high speed flight, contemplated the recent events in his mind. I’m… not going to be like you… Aurion glances at Almaria’s lithe frame, which was flying a few meters ahead of him. He closes his eyes tightly as he concentrates on his sworn duty. I cherish the people and things that I must protect… This isn’t just my duty… This is my conviction! We may both be devils now… But I’m a different devil compared to you.

He once again opens his eyes, only to find Almaria’s face right in front of his. He wasn’t able to notice her slowing down and positioning directly opposed to him. “Almaria?”

“Aurion…”

“What are you-?” Aurion tried to talk but was cut short and rendered speechless by Almaria’s lips meeting his; eyes widening in surprise.

Almaria pulled back, revealing her melancholic eyes focused at him, “Daijoubu…” she said softly, just enough to let him hear her voice over the rushing air, “Don‘t let his words get to you… You are different… Because I know more than anybody else can; that we are important to you.” Her eyes shone with faith in him, “Dakara… Please stay the same… Our-…My reliable but silent partner.” She then smiled encouragingly.

Aurion could only gaze back at his girlfriend, an uncertain emotion in his eyes, “Orewa…” Aurion once again closes his eyes in deep thought.

“Aurion?” Almaria flies closer. “Are you al-Mmmphh!” it was her turn to be rendered speechless as Aurion kissed her this time. She let out a breathless gasp, her face blushing brightly as he pulled back and grinned roguishly.

“You don’t have to worry. Since I’m already sure with the matter myself…” Aurion said while still grinning. Despite these words, his heart felt lighter and more reassured. “Regardless, thank you Almaria.”

Almaria blushed prettily and nodded while smiling. “Don’t worry. I’m always here for you, just as you’re always there for me.”

A small silence formed between the two as they stared at each other; their own personal resolve strengthening with each passing moment. Aurion would break the silence a few moments later.

“Ahh. But…” Aurion’s smile grew wider, “I’m still keeping this video!” he then held out his left wrist bearing Vega; watching Almaria’s face flush darkly before speeding away laughing. And as if that wasn’t enough, “I wonder how much they would pay if I had this auctioned at the base!”

“Ah-ah… I…” Almaria stammered as she saw him zoom away. She then shakes her head furiously and glowers at quickly zipping away Aurion, speeding up her flight as well, “AURION! Come back here, you baka!”

“Hahahaha!”

The rest of the team could only shake their heads in wonder at the laughing couple who reached them later.

Yes… as long as I have them… I won’t hesitate. I’m sure about this… This is all someone like me can do. And I’ll make sure I won’t fail!

And some combination attacks!:D
~snip~



Finally!:D
This time, I sure hope he feels different from the current one. For the scene where he talks with the two kids, just imagine Setsuna from Gundam 00 talking with Gimmy and Darry from Gurren Lagann.:p Vega is based off Zeta Gundam's beam rifle.:p

And though unintentionally, I managed to put in even more rabu-rabu and some fanservice as well.:twitch::heh::eyespin::D

Comments?:D

Aurion's Profile: Most of it looks familiar. OMG'd @ the reason Almaria hung out w/Aurion... birthdays? Child's logic, I suppose.

Scenario: Sounds like Almaria'd have been a good mom if she'd ever had any kids...



:nono:

Andrei: According to the GDI-TSAB Stratification Agreement, Document No. GDI-TD-XXXX (yr)-XX (mo)-XX (dy)-0125-Rev. 34, No TSAB unit of any way, shape, form or capability, is allowed entry into the Orange and Red zones, unless the TSAB High Council- wait, those three are gone so the remaining Middle Council which I'm a member of and the GDI Commandership, which I'm a member of, being Terran Sector Director has a majority vote on the matter. The same applies to any GDI unit entering the Green and Blue Zones. The only Free Interaction Zone is the Yellow Zone- though Non-Human Elements of the GDI are still not allowed entry- except on some cases- as this zone is in a state of constant turnover flux.



Got it. Yellow and Green Zones then.


SWEET! :D

Arcas and Mel's action, though, is a bit ... scary.

*runs*


What? Teenagers are the only ones allowed to have hormones?

I think not!

Hiyaa...:heh:
I love the backlog.:D
Though you'd all have to wait until Monday before I can do a decent one, as I'm just leeching off from a PC shop here, and I don't really have that much cash to spare.:heh: I'll tackle the longer works later. FlameSparkZ, Reiji, please wait for my comments on them later, okay?:heh:

I was wondering wether to put it in or not, but I thought, "To hell with it!":p
It's a running gag, if you think about it.:p Almaria, Hayate, Reinforce, Signum, some of Satty's female OC's... All victims one way or another of his binds when it comes right down to it.:p It IS a lot less of a hassle instead of trying to hold them down on those circumstances.:p



Don't worry. Take your time - I have no plans on going anywhere.


And Aurion + Female = Bind is generally true... though Mel's not been subjected to it. Though it's probably best that it never happens; she'd probably overload all males present w/HELPLESS MOE a la Ninomiya-kun's Mayu.


Quick Question to Everyone Here:


Who's played (or is currently playing) Persona 3?

I don't care that its insane if they don't use conscription, the point is that it flies in the face of canon.

How so? I’m not aware of any canon source ever saying the TSAB is all volunteer, but we do have at least one incident and at least one secondary source that hints at pretty severe coercion at the least. Going further a draft only makes sense given how it’s set up.

It is proven through multiple sources that the abillity to use magic does not make one required to enter the TSAB service.
Name one that say it definitively NOW, since you have multiple sources it ought to be simple. Anyway you’re probably right, simply being able won’t mean you’re required too as drafting tons of mooks isn’t worth the effort enough of them probably join on their own. (even during Vietnam a fair number of men joined the army of their own accord) The draft would probably target the high end user that won’t join on there own.

Yuuno, Nanoha, Caro's dragon summoning clan, all are examples of magic users that are not in service of the TSAB. Yunno is in the TSAB technicalities aside he takes marching orders from them. Caro’s clan could easily be made up of those that have already served, those not up for it yet, and even some that simply weren’t selected, as mentioned a draft need not take EVERYONE only those they need. I’m sure there are magic user outside of the TSAB army, in fact I know there are, but as I just said a draft need not take EVERYONE in fact it would probably focus only on the top tier mages the ones that are really useful and it wouldn’t be lifetime so they’d eventually get out and go back to being civilians eventually.

Nanoha, a 9 year old AAA ranked mage, was given a choice between living her life on earth or joining the TSAB. This shows that they are willing to let high potentional mages go. The illusion of one anyway, plus she was rather gung-ho about magic in general. What we’d really need to see is someone that didn’t want to go. That’s the acid test “an offer you can’t refuse” if you say yes well no problems welcome aboard! If you say no… well, we’ve got some issues.

Like Ark touched on you seem to be going basically. “RAWR DRAFT BAD!!!” Despite the fact that one person in this thread will be forcibly drafted into his countries military fairly soon. Conscription is common even in democratic nation’s actually all volunteer is a VERY recent invention and not even that wildly used. It might produce better motivated troops, but most of those troops are also roughly equivalent barring training or learned skills, which can be addressed with training, that doesn’t hold with mages.

Is it fair that dozens of weaker mages might need to die to contain some threat so one high powered one can sit on his ass at home? I personally think mandatory civil or military service is a good thing that builds character and acknowledges and helps repay society for all the things it dose for you. I myself want to serve once I finish school I’m definitely joining the army and my schooling is obviously in police work so even when I’m finished I’ll still be serving in some capacity probably until I retire if all goes according to plan.

I don’t expect that out of everyone, but I feel that if you have a skill your country needs and they aren’t total douche bags you owe them a couple years at least. Modern society is becoming too much about “me” IMO it’s always about what can I get, what’s in it for me, why should I.People that actually want to serve their country or sacrifice their own gain for others are sometimes looked on as a little strange or at the very least extraordinary and that’s just sad, those should be common virtues not something you get put on a pedestal or looked at funny for displaying.

My point is I don't see a draft as inherently bad, let alone evil or something and it would solve a number of possible staffing problems.

Well said. By the way, I hate to say this, but is this forum fading a little bit? I don't think I've ever seen a time when a post can retain its status as the "latest post" for so long!

I thought that was over and done with.

And you still haven't given me the supporting evidence I asked for.

Oh, so you get to arbitrarily decide on a difference limit before you just decide you can throw a full source away? Especially one that just happens to be mildly inconvenient to your cause?

Better than that, I get to decide which elements are incompatible with the anime and discard them.

Contradictory outcome to established events? Incompatible.
Appears contradictory to established beheaviour of the Bureau? Incompatible
Sheds light on aspects of a character that does not contradict established events? Compatible

I really don't need to keep the third, but nothing says I can't.

Is it even justifiable to presume that the anime necessarily has canonical precedence? Maybe (g*d forbid) it is the anime that should get excised*

Lyrical Nanoha was an original animation project. It's not based on the novel or any manga. Its' only predecessor is the Triangle Hearts Lyrical Toybox game. There are significant differences between the two, I doubt even you would consider it to be related to the anime in anyway.

but you can't with anime, especially with anime that is potentially completely redrawn once for TV and once for DVD.

Redrawn yes, but only to improve art quality and fix art errors. Except in cases where they studpidly add new ones. The alterations do not impact the plot, much as we might wish it to. I still think it's insane of them not to commit their resources and time to getting it right the first time. Maybe that's why the StrikerS story had time management issues. It's part of 7arcs' culture.

Given that, a text would probably have higher authenticity.

Only if the anime was based on the novel in the first place, and it clearly isn't. If you can show any evidence that says otherwise, I'll gladly conceed the entire matter.
The Suzumiya Haruhi novels have higher authenticity than the Haruhi anime. But the Ah! My Goddess novel (written by Toma Yumi) does not have higher autheticity than the AMG anime let alone manga.

So I'd massively revise my statement to say instead that the Normal Procedure is for an unwilling Nanoha to be impressed off Earth. Where she'd be placed in that "care facility" which all available visual evidence tells us is fairly unpleasant (see reproductions of said facilities in StrikerS anime). It won't be long before a career in the TSAB looks like a sweet alternative to most people.

If you're talking about Erio, he wasn't taken to a "care facility" immediately after being seperated from his parents. He was taken to some lab that Fate shut down. The experience probably traumatised him so bad he was anti-social at HQ's special care center, until Fate got through to him.

but as I just said a draft need not take EVERYONE in fact it would probably focus only on the top tier mages the ones that are really useful

When the rank and file of the Ground Forces mages appear to be D-rank or less, even C-rankers appears to be "top tier".

it wouldn’t be lifetime so they’d eventually get out and go back to being civilians eventually.
But when? Do you think they'd really let go of an over A-rank mage after just 3-5 years of service?

Conscription is common even in democratic nation’s actually all volunteer is a VERY recent invention and not even that wildly used.

Weren't the Roman Republic's leigons an all-volunteer force? That's what I heard in a documentary anyway.

Edit: After a while, I realise we had forgotten something. Our negative reaction isn't to drafting. The TSAB is free to draft anyone from Midchilda and other Administrated Worlds if it wants to. But what gives them the right to grab civilians of a Non-Administrated World into their service? That'd be like conscripting American civilians into the French army.

Profile: A silent and brooding person. A childhood friend, and also Almaria’s boyfriend. Was recruited into TSAB four months before Almaria. He proved to be a very talented and diligent trainee, gaining favor from the infamous Instructor Austin Abrams of the Air Force due to his commendable grit and fortitude even under the harshest of trainings. He rose fairly quickly along the ranks, earning the title of an Ace at fourteen years of age. Despite his age, he was notoriously famous for his oftentimes heartless method against opponents. He first killed a person when he was 13. He got transferred into the Navy a year after Almaria, becoming Spectrum 3 of the Spectral Enforcers. This would be his last position before the Perfect Void Incident and retiring from the army.


Personality: Serious, taciturn and a bit tactless. The Aurion from seventeen years ago can be considered worlds apart from the current one. He’s generally courteous, but can be a terrible adversary when angered. His nature as a child is rather dubious, only having a very small social circle. He finds it difficult to trust other people, initially only trusting Almaria. He prefers the company of higher-ranked and generally older people, having a large amount of respect for several of them. His peers were rather wary of him, and his attitude did little to help quell the cautious regards. Regardless, he was clear-headed and has a soft spot for kids. He generally talks with others in a polite but emotionless tone. He had a lot of interest in Device-mechanics, and took his free time as an occasional assistant to the researcher and Device-manufacturer, Reban Innova.

On a more positive note, he has somewhat lightened up through the years, thanks to the influence of other members of the Spectral Enforcers; although his abilities of sarcasm has also grown. As a soldier, he is considered to be a workaholic. To further this point, he also had a bad habit of pushing himself too much when work is involved. He's also very frugal about mundane tasks. His things are usually kept orderly. He can cook if need be, but he never bothers in making the dishes attractive. He has a bit of a soft spot for children, especially orphans such as himself. He also gets rather embarrassed when subjected to doting by elderly people.

His moral code was very utilitarian, as he had no qualms about killing a few to save several others. Almaria was very worried of this fact, remembering that Aurion was quite disturbed after his first time in killing a person. This is also the reason why he got the moniker, "Ace of the Heartless." He got his other nickname, "Hell's Inquisitor"; from the fact that he uses Willbreaker coupled with moderate to extreme physical torture when interrogating captured opponents. His main reasoning for being such is protecting those who are important to him and preventing more children like him in following the same fate.

I'm already a killer... But it doesn't matter. As long as those kids I know never end up like me. If I have to throw away my conscience in dealing with threats, so be it! Better me than them! Even if I've already become a demon, at least I'm sure I'm still able to protect what are important to me.

The only person whom Aurion seems to be completely relaxed around is Almaria. Even to the extent of taking an almost 180 degree turn in disposition. This includes actually being laid back and smiling constantly; as well as teasing her. Even when around other people, he never bothers to hide this change. Likewise, he was the only person the normally mature and professional Almaria acted completely relaxed and 'cute' with; most notably being comfortable in physical contact with him. They also like sparring with each other, with the score 35-32 in Aurion's favor.



Relationships: Needless to say, Aurion was an antisocial and cold individual to strangers. Even towards acquaintances, he rarely ever talks with them with complete sincerity, save for Almaria and some other people he respects. Gil Graham, Austin Abrams and the researcher named Reban Innova are some of the few people he holds complete respect for. The person he is closest to is without a doubt, Almaria. The reason for this stems back to when he was four... Almaria was the only person who bothered trying to talk and make friends with him, reasoning that they had the same birthday so they should at least get along well. Curiously, there was something more to their closeness than just being long-time acquaintances... A strange link that was forged between them ever since that day; allowing them a limited but accurate mutual perception. The reason behind this remains a mystery up to this day.

With that aside, his first ever, and only childhood friend was Almaria. She acted like a big sister to him, sometimes getting a reversal of roles in some circumstances. They complemented each other very well, one being stiff and emotionless while the other was bright and cheerful. As they grew up, their relationship only got stronger; culminating into being an item after one year of separation in service of TSAB.

They were really an almost perfect pair; both as people and as combatants. They worked practically flawlessly when in tandem, even at one time defeating two more-experienced S-ranked opponents despite the difference in rank, power and skill. Their abilities in combat as a pair was unbelievably good, one being a tactical and systematic aggressor and the other being a graceful range-attacker; both functioning as a single harmonized entity; almost as if having the same mind. Their lack of any melee specialization almost meant nothing when one sees them, as they support each other so well that they seemed to have a counter for just about anything, even covering flaws that both of them shared. In fact, they just worked TOO well as a team that it was almost inhuman. This was quite an oddity by those times; seeing as they seemed to be connected so well to the extent that they can actually feel each other’s presence when they are in similar locations… Some tests were run on the two, yet nothing out of the ordinary was found.

Unlike other people who've just become lovers, there's hardly any sense of shyness between them. There were also a very deep level of trust and respect for each other, assuring that they never let their adolescent impulses from taking their intimacy too far; promising each other that they will both wait until they are both old and mature enough to commit to each other. The leader of the Spectral Enforcers once made a comment that, "Che. They've just become an item. But from what I can see, their bond and understanding of each other is far, far better than most of the married couples I've seen."

He also held a lot of respect for the researcher, Reban Innova; who was responsible for bringing him and Almaria into TSAB service in the first place. He and Almaria both seem to feel a strangely calming aura around the elderly man. This person is also the one responsible for creating Aurion and Almaria’s custom devices, namely Vega and Altair. He would later also consider the Spectral Enforcers as the family he never had.



Barrier Jacket: Aurion’s Barrier Jacket was very similar to the standard Enforcer BJ design. The only noticeable difference was the darker color scheme with sharper details and a lighter frame. The performance of his requested design was significantly better than those of standard ones, allowing for good agility and defense at the same time.


Device: Intelligent Device: Vega:
http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/236/msz006beamriflerw2.jpg

One of the two specialized experimental devices made by the researcher Reban Innova; the other being Almaria's Altair. It takes the form of light energy rifle outfitted with the then uncommonly used cartridge system, housing up to four cartridges at a time. It had design specifics that were only known to Reban. The A.I. has a young and serious female voice. Regarding its other specs, it has a high amount of targeting and control-amplification capability. Reban claimed that Altair and Vega would only work in their best potential when used by Almaria and Aurion; and this turned out to be true. Its portable mode takes the form of a V-shaped pendant attached to a chain necklace. Aurion carries it around by having it wrapped around his left wrist instead of his neck. This is for almost instant access to it whenever it is needed; enabling him to whip out the rifle-device with just a flick of the wrist.


Fighting Style: Despite having very decent magic potential and combat skills, Aurion preferred to fight tactically even on the frontlines. He liked using combinations of illusion and temperature manipulation spells, essentially confusing the opponent and holding them in place with simple but effective ice spells/binds to be easily hit by finishing blows. His defenses were solid, and his speed was pretty decent. His attack capabilities were more suited for single-hit technical blows rather than battery attacks. He had particularly excellent control over few high-powered remote shot spells; being able to control them even at semi-sniping range. When close quarters combat is unavoidable, he usually surrounds himself with some Stinger Blades and uses the MEB (Magic Energy Bayonet) on Vega in order to gain distance. Given the right position, he is capable of bringing down much tougher opponents by using opportune openings and observed weaknesses to strike.

His performance becomes several times more impressive when paired with Almaria. The two of them seems to share a strange connection that allows them to work together like a single entity. The extent of their compatibility is so great that when teamed up, they can take on enemies that exceed their overall prowess. Despite the number of Almaria’s bullets and Aurion’s illusions, they never slip in their synch and functions amazingly well.

Going by standard analysis, Aurion has the less powerful Linker Core of the two. His focus is primarily on tactical offense, preferring high-power singular shots over several lower-powered ones. He also has a higher casting speed and has higher power spells when compared to her. His defenses are standard but very sturdy.

His trigger phrase is, “Attack!”

Willbreaker: A specialized depressant spell. Aurion uses this spell to impede the target’s use of cohesive thinking due to directly sending impulses to the brain that messes up the several mental functions. Direct skin contact is needed on an area near the target’s spinal column. Aurion uses his hand in touching the target’s nape for best results. No long term damage is done to brain of the target as this spell only act like a potent drug. He used this mainly in interrogating; where he would use moderate to elevated physical torture combined with this spell to easily break the wills of the interrogated.


And now, for another scenario.:D
The following is a scenario right after a severe terrorism and kidnapping incident. Several of the subjects were too dangerous and were eliminated accordingly. Aurion got the majority of the kills, managing to finish off even the leader.

…………… No longer a human…

A lanky figure can be seen slumped over a broken wall, his eyes covered by the fringes of his hair. He’s clutching a device in the form of a rifle. He was almost a statue, if not for the light heaving of his chest.

What made that bastard so different from the rest? How come his words managed to bother me this much?

His grip on his device tightens as he grits his teeth, trying to will away the maddening crazed tone from replaying in his head…

Shut up…

c’mon! kill me now! you know you want to!

Shut up…

this is just what I want if I don’t get to win! hahahaha! you’re just the same as me! killing is nothing more than second nature, huh, gaki?!

Shut up…

you say that those you protect is the reason for your actions, but the truth is… your just using this reason as the reason to kill more!

Shut up…

that girl… she means nothing when it comes to your work, don’t you thi-

“Damare!” the quiet but clear word burst out of his mouth as he slammed his fist onto the wall behind him, creating several cracks on the worn concrete. His heaving got heavier as he tried to regain his composure.

And that’s… when I killed him… Why am I having these doubts now? Haven’t I promised myself of a never-wavering certainty? Kuso… Naze da?!

~~~~~~~~~~~

“Ungh!” Almaria gasped and clutched her chest, surprised by the sudden alien pain that didn’t come from her. Aurion…

“Onee-chan?” the three kids in front of her simultaneously exclaimed with worry.

“Ah… I-I’m fine…” She forced out a gentle smile. But later looked over worriedly over her shoulder, her dearest friend in her mind…

‘Aurion… Do you need to talk?’

‘You finish the ending procedures first, please… I’m okay… I just need a break… That last fight took a lot more than necessary out of me…’

‘U-understood…’

‘By the way, sorry about that. I’ll try to calm down a bit…’

Almaria’s expression only became more worried. ‘Please don’t worry about me. You’re talking to me after this, alright?’

‘Hai, hai… Onee-chan…’

~~~~~~~~~~

I should have known Almaria would sense my discomfort… Aurion berated himself as he placed his knuckle on his forehead, a rueful smile playing on his lips. Making a girl worry just because of a little emo moment… Hahaha…

“Onii-chan! Onii-chan!”

“Huh?” Aurion opened his eyes, the sight of two very young kids, one girl and one boy greeting him. Sighing lightly, he smiled and faced them properly, also letting Vega form back into a necklace to wrap around his wrist. It was probably because of the similarities with him, he always found it rather comforting around kids like them… “How may I help you?”

The younger kid, the girl, only moved forward and presented him with a small bowl of fruits, “Here Onii-chan! You looked tired so we decided to bring you some snacks!”

The boy then spoke up, “Yeah! You should also take a break at a proper place instead of out here! All those cool moves must have been tiring!”

“Wha-?” as it would seem, it looks like these two were the ones who saw him fighting off the last terrorist… “Thanks… But I’m alright here.”

The girl look a bit hurt, but shook her head and once again offered the bowl, “B-but at least take some!”
“Yeah, please! She picked the fruits herself!”

“Oh…” Aurion blinked and then smiled warmly, reaching over and picking one fruit from the bowl, “Thanks… Itadakimasu.” He then took a bite out of the fruit… And it turned out to be really good. “Hmm… It’s great.” are his words as he gazed at the younger child with a smile, making her blush cutely.

The older of the two started talking enthusiastically, “Say, Onii-chan. When I grow up, I want to be an Enforcer just like you!”

“Hoh?” Aurion’s eyebrows rose with intrigue. “For what reason, may I ask?”

The kid started bouncing on his heels in excitement, “So I can do all those cool things you did a while ago!”

“Hah?”

“You know; those awesome shots and then that last large beam that you used to finish the bad guy off!” the kid was now positively giddy with enthusiasm, “I want to be able to do those too and beat up the bad guys!”

“Uh…” Aurion only gaped back in trepidation at the child… Talking about his job like it was just some sort of game… Is this what that person meant as people starting to see killing as entertainment?

“Yeah! And then that-”
“No…”
“Heh?”

Aurion silently shook his head and dropped a reprimanding hand on the head of the young boy.

“O-onii-chan?”

“That’s… not what it means to be an Enforcer like me…”

No… This isn’t what I live for…

“I didn’t enlist in this job to be able to fight and defeat bad people…”

“Then what-?”

“Do you know? I never feel happy every time I kill a person, no matter how bad they are; no matter how much I dislike them…”

I knew this the very moment I enlisted into TSAB…

“Ah-?”

“No matter what reason, no matter what people from opposing sides feel, it all comes down to the fact that we are hurting and killing each other… Tell me, do you honestly think that you will be happy if you just mindlessly kill people your commanders and rules brand as bad?”

Killing isn’t my desire… It is only my duty…

“O-ore…”

“Besides, it is not our primary duty to fight. It is to stop things like this from happening… But that also isn’t the reason why I stick to this job…”

My reason is…

“So… Onii-chan… Why are you an Enforcer then? Why are you still one when you’re not happy about it?”

“I’m glad you asked…” Aurion replies as he reaches over and pats the girl’s head as well, “What makes me happy… Is the fact that I know I am able to protect those that are important to me. As well as protecting the people who shouldn’t be harmed by the activities of people like them…” he turns back to the boy, “Instead of trying to be a hero and accomplishing nothing except being guilty for your actions… Why not just become someone that can make other people happy and not harm them?”

This.

The two kids only stared back in awe at him’ clearly thinking about what he just said.

“Well… Do you understand me?”

The boy looked shameful for several moments before perking up and smiling again, “Yes! But I’m still going to be an Enforcer like you!”

“Huh?”

“But… I’ll become one so I can protect my sister, my family and those that need to be protected! That way, everybody can be happy, right?”
“Niichan…”
“I promise that, my sister!”
“Ah, hai!”

Aurion couldn’t help but chuckle in relief and ruffle the two kids’ hair, “That’s better…”

“Aurion! The procedures have been finished!” Almaria’s voice chimed out over the other side of the wall, “The commander is also calling for us now!”

“Ahh. Understood!” Aurion called back. Turning back to the two kids, “Well, I have to go now. Remember what I said, okay?”

“Hai!”

“Thanks…” Aurion picks up another fruit, “Mind if I take another one?”

The girl blushes again and shakes her head, “No! They’re all for you, anyway…”

“Just two is enough. Give the rest to those who needs it.”

“Hai.”

Standing up, Aurion started walking towards Almaria’s location while accompanied by the two kids, eating along the way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just as Aurion and the two kids rounded the last corner, Almaria’s distraught tone resounded clearly in the air, “I-iya~! W-what are you doing?!”

“Heh?” Aurion looks with confusion at the direction of the cry of surprise, only to hold back a sudden impulse of laughter at his girlfriend’s current predicament.

The children had obviously gained a liking to Almaria, and clearly didn’t want her to leave just yet. Each of her arms was held by a pair of hands from two of the other three children they saved. The shortest kid had latched himself to her legs, hugging her around the knees; essentially pinning her legs together and holding her down on the spot. She was already blushing slightly as she tried to gently detach the children from her body. However, she wasn’t faring very well and had no choice but to try not losing balance.

“C’mon, Onee-chan! Just play with us a little longer!”

“Ah… But I already have to leave. I’ll just-Oo-ooh! Hanashite~!”

“Iyada! Stay here longer!”

“Aurion, tasukete~!”

Instead of trying to help, Aurion simply planted his face on his palm and snickered, much to Almaria’s indignation.

‘Aurion!’

‘Hey, you got yourself into this, you get yourself out.’

‘Uu~! But they might-’

Aurion cut her off in mid-thought, ‘Can’t say no to kids, Onee-chan?’

She gave him a glare as her face grew redder, ‘Why do you always have to be mean to me?!’

‘I’m just being honest, Almaria.’

‘Mou~!’ she then started to loose her balance. “A-ahn~!” and fell down on her rear as even more children, including the boy Aurion talked to earlier, latched themselves unto her helpless form. “Uu~! Mou, yamete~!” she whined endearingly as she squirmed weakly against her little captors’ hugging restraints.

“IYADA!”

Aurion chuckled some more before glancing down while smiling at his device in portable form, “Everything recorded, Vega?”

[Yes... Though why are you making me record this irrelevant scene?]

“Just for entertainment’s sake.” is his only reply as he idly spun the V-shaped pendant between his fingers. “Well, I guess this should do…” he then raises his voice, “Oi, kids! That’s enough!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After some considerable coaxing, the children reluctantly released their unlikely ‘hostage’, who promptly threw herself into Aurion’s arms in relief. After some more goodbyes, Aurion and Almaria flew off towards the rendezvous point.

After gaining some distance from the place, Almaria turned to her boyfriend flying beside her, “You no longer seemed to be troubled as much, Aurion…”

“Yeah. Thanks to those kids…”

“There are a lot of good children there, don’t you think?”

“Hmm…” Aurion nods, later shooting Almaria an amused glance, “Pretty good at clinging to a certain girl as well.”

“Mou!”

“Hey, it just goes to prove how easily you can get popular with us guys, regardless of age or location.”

“But I never asked for that to happen!”

“Oh, you don’t need to ask. I suppose it’s just an out-of-control inherent skill.”

“Uu~, hidoi~!”

“In what way is complementing you about your obvious attractiveness being mean?”

“I am NOT some sort of male-magnet!”

“Hahaha! Whatever, princess. We’re going to have such a good laugh when we get back!”

“Hey! I know you took a video of me a while ago! Delete that!”

“Heeh~? Why? You looked so cute struggling while you were being accosted by those kids.”

“Aurion, erase it now! Please?”

“No go…” Aurion then proceeds to speed up his flight.

“Aurion!” Almaria gives chase, though not having much luck due to his higher flight maneuverability. She would later give up and fly forward with puffed cheeks, with the intention of beating him to the base.

Aurion only stares ahead at his in a huff girlfriend while chuckling. A few moments later, the previous scenarios today would replay in his mind.


……………………


Not this crap again… That bastard’s last words are tenacious, huh?

you know you want t-
You’re wrong!

Aurion, slightly lagging behind the high speed flight, contemplated the recent events in his mind. I’m… not going to be like you… Aurion glances at Almaria’s lithe frame, which was flying a few meters ahead of him. He closes his eyes tightly as he concentrates on his sworn duty. I cherish the people and things that I must protect… This isn’t just my duty… This is my conviction! We may both be devils now… But I’m a different devil compared to you.

He once again opens his eyes, only to find Almaria’s face right in front of his. He wasn’t able to notice her slowing down and positioning directly opposed to him. “Almaria?”

“Aurion…”

“What are you-?” Aurion tried to talk but was cut short and rendered speechless by Almaria’s lips meeting his; eyes widening in surprise.

Almaria pulled back, revealing her melancholic eyes focused at him, “Daijoubu…” she said softly, just enough to let him hear her voice over the rushing air, “Don‘t let his words get to you… You are different… Because I know more than anybody else can; that we are important to you.” Her eyes shone with faith in him, “Dakara… Please stay the same… Our-…My reliable but silent partner.” She then smiled encouragingly.

Aurion could only gaze back at his girlfriend, an uncertain emotion in his eyes, “Orewa…” Aurion once again closes his eyes in deep thought.

“Aurion?” Almaria flies closer. “Are you al-Mmmphh!” it was her turn to be rendered speechless as Aurion kissed her this time. She let out a breathless gasp, her face blushing brightly as he pulled back and grinned roguishly.

“You don’t have to worry. Since I’m already sure with the matter myself…” Aurion said while still grinning. Despite these words, his heart felt lighter and more reassured. “Regardless, thank you Almaria.”

Almaria blushed prettily and nodded while smiling. “Don’t worry. I’m always here for you, just as you’re always there for me.”

A small silence formed between the two as they stared at each other; their own personal resolve strengthening with each passing moment. Aurion would break the silence a few moments later.

“Ahh. But…” Aurion’s smile grew wider, “I’m still keeping this video!” he then held out his left wrist bearing Vega; watching Almaria’s face flush darkly before speeding away laughing. And as if that wasn’t enough, “I wonder how much they would pay if I had this auctioned at the base!”

“Ah-ah… I…” Almaria stammered as she saw him zoom away. She then shakes her head furiously and glowers at quickly zipping away Aurion, speeding up her flight as well, “AURION! Come back here, you baka!”

“Hahahaha!”

The rest of the team could only shake their heads in wonder at the laughing couple who reached them later.

Yes… as long as I have them… I won’t hesitate. I’m sure about this… This is all someone like me can do. And I’ll make sure I won’t fail!

And some combination attacks!:D
COMBINATION ATTACKS: Aurion and Almaria’s almost absolute empathic link allowed them for a number of combination assaults as a single unit.

Dual Turbo Blitz Strike/D.T.B.S: One of their combination attacks, this one being set as the ranged attack. Almaria would initiate her trance with more than a hundred bullets of mixed Impact and Piercer Bolts using two cartridges. She would then start advancing towards the opponent. Aurion would first engage one enemy up close; letting Almaria’s shots (all of which amazingly never even graze him) cover for his lack of melee specialization. He would then either bind or incapacitate the opponent with any appropriate spell (usually using two cartridges for best effect), falling back into Almaria’s blizzard of projectiles afterwards. At this point, he would join Almaria and her shots in completely mauling down the opponent with innumerable energy projectiles, finishing the assault when Aurion Sonic Moves behind the opponent and stabs the enemy with his MEB (using up another cartridge) and shoot him/her towards Almaria. She would then shoot with her own MEB followed by a Kinetic Buster (using up her remaining cartridges), blowing back the enemy towards Aurion for him to finish off with a cartridge-boosted Break Impulse. A definitive elimination maneuver, the target is not expected to make it out alive after this.

Eye of the Storm Assault/E.S.A.: The close-ranged variation of the first combination assault. Almaria and Aurion would simultaneously engage the adversary up close with a staggering amount of controlled shots. They would rely on their agility, Aurion’s occasional illusions and the sheer volume of the shots to avoid any counterattacks the enemy might try.



Finally!:D
This time, I sure hope he feels different from the current one. For the scene where he talks with the two kids, just imagine Setsuna from Gundam 00 talking with Gimmy and Darry from Gurren Lagann.:p Vega is based off Zeta Gundam's beam rifle.:p

And though unintentionally, I managed to put in even more rabu-rabu and some fanservice as well.:twitch::heh::eyespin::D

Comments?:D

:bow::bow::bow:

Everything is NAISU! :D:D:D

*did a double thumbs-up plus a double toes-up (if it was at all possible)*

They are really a perfect match, eh? From personality to duty to attacks, everything is so synchronized between them. Their chemistry blends them nicely.

Again, a masterpiece profile! :D

Finally.... it's over...

You feeling okay now Mai? Potion should've worn off by now...

Uh, "it"?

I have the strangest feeling when I said that ...

Yes.

Ah, Lowe posted it. Thanks. :D

Just do it anyway :p

I need time to ponder!

[Alter-ego]But, if you really want to, just do it.[/Alter-ego]

You're on! :D

And look out for a new guy soon after I clear the mess on my hands, named Jack the Ripper. :D

Oi, oi, I'm not a serial murderer. :heh:

Inherent Equipment. And I'm very sure both of your IEs fit you and FA perfectly. :D

Ah, souka. What does mine look like?

[Alter-ego]A piece of terrible-looking, mold-ridden, disgustingly nauseating blue cheese. It's ugly, but tasty.[/Alter-ego]

PF: You don't have to be that brutally honest, you know.

The horror of seeing Terminator in sailor uniform. :D

What the ...

DOES NOT COMPUTE! :eyespin::eyespin:

Incoming 20k words chapter. :eek:

Currently pegged at 12K words. I'm pondering whether to make it shorter by dropping off the mock battle scene between Nanoha and Leona versus Fate and Hayate. >_>

Bluecheese supply running low.

I find allot of interesting as well, but yeah I can see how studying it big time would get old pretty quick. Still some of the systems in nature are pretty astounding, though I often find myself making sure people don't think they're TOO great, again nature dose some impressive things, but technology dose allot of things better so don't think we're more important our specie or nature really is. *cough*fuckingbioships*cough*

All things in technology are derived from the understanding of nature. Still, I'm not complaining. :D

I'm pretty good with biology since I actually end up hearing write a bit about it in some of my classes. (the line between psychology and biology is blurring for instance, and we get allot of in forensics and such too) I talk a better game of physics then I know honestly. I'm no expert, but given that most people seem to be total ignoramuses on the subject even my vague knowledge makes my meager skills sometimes seem god like... which is sad. :uhoh: A willingness to look stuff up and ask people smarter then me about stuff helps too. Chemistry I'm so so to poor I know a number of rules and such, and what allot of materials will tend to do and how they act, but the meat and bones like writing out formulas or actual lab work is beyond my level.

Luckily the internet makes looking up such more technical bits pretty easy nowadays, wiki is your friend.

Quoted for truth. :D

Really I have no beef with someone not knowing or being an expert at something, it's when they don't know and will make no damn effort to learn for themselves, or indeed learn at all that I start to get annoyed. I recall one guy talking about using radar to guide a torpedo... underwater. I really wanted to just hit him upside the head as he clearly hadn't made even a cursory foray into research before proposing this asinine solution.

Uh, underwater radar? Isn't it ... sonar?

*runs from imminent torpedo strike*

*sigh*

I'm too popped and tired to bother shooting you right now, maybe tomorrow.

... On second thought since you're so damn eager.
*Locks, loads, and sights in*

MERCY!

:D How's the progress on the next chapter? Is it still going to be 20k words?

At 12K now, and it's probably around 60% completion. Not sure if I should drop some ideas. =/

When the rank and file of the Ground Forces mages appear to be D-rank or less, even C-rankers appears to be "top tier".The threshold would probably vary year to year and era ro ear, if it's quiet you mostly just take volunteers and draft only the truly execeptional, if it's more active then you maybe start pushing down into the lower potential, but still useful. We also know some mages have certain affinities, Teana is supposed to be unusually good with illusion magic for instance and you might possibly recruit based on that as well if you had say a short fall of medical mages or scanners.

It wouldn't be some blanket "everyone above X rank serves!" you take what you really need, but no more to keep it as tame and unobjectionable as possible.


But when? Do you think they'd really let go of an over A-rank mage after just 3-5 years of service?
I’d go for a Active and Reverse combo set up say 5 year hard training active duty then 5 more in revere with say weekend training and liable for quick call up in a crisis. The style of combat that the TSAB seems involved in acutally make this work better most incident seem short term so you could call up reverse mages for a week or two of active duty then drop them back to civilian life when it was finished. The TSAB doesn’t seem to really do that many long term occupations or major campaigns and those duties could probably be handled by the smaller professional army and lower ranked mages. This lower demand might also keep a fair number of these people in the reverse beyond the required time period. Anyone with serious magical power is also registered to at least say 40 or so in case of some overwhelmingly dangerous crisis, much like modern officer are always technically eligible for re-commissioning.

Nanoha and friends got up to S+ to SS level in around 10 years and where pretty much S rank in like half that time. Natural power level seems to be the biggest factor someone with allot of power will advance pretty quick with good training it seems, Teana and Subaru seem to have jumped like 3 ranks in as many years for instance. So 5 year should get you a pretty useful mage for another five in the reserves maybe longer, magic is also something that some people might want to practice on their own anyway so facilities should be provided for that if they want too this would aid the part time training even more, hell make those facilities open to most people with ANY talent even those you don’t really need or who aren’t actively thinking of joining the army it’ll build an even larger pool of semi-trained troops in an emergency.


Weren't the Roman Republic's leigons an all-volunteer force? That's what I heard in a documentary anyway.
Actually in a inronic twist they only went professonal when it became the roman empire, the republic used well trained and led conscripts. Even after that they often used local auxiliaries and mercenaries and such to bolster their numbers. Saying it was new might not have been the best way to phrase perhaps "it's wide spread adoption and consideration as the best possible system is fairly recent" would have been better.


Edit: After a while, I realise we had forgotten something. Our negative reaction isn't to drafting. The TSAB is free to draft anyone from Midchilda and other Administrated Worlds if it wants to. But what gives them the right to grab civilians of a Non-Administrated World into their service? That'd be like conscripting American civilians into the French army.I won't defend that if it's true it totally self serving and immoral, but I wasn't even really purposing that, so much as drafting off Administered worlds, but even with that Keroko seemed to react rather negatively to the idea of ANY drafting going on.

And you still haven't given me the supporting evidence I asked for.

So you believe that a agency that can impress has great qualms against "mere" conscription?

Better than that, I get to decide which elements are incompatible with the anime and discard them.

Contradictory outcome to established events? Incompatible.

Depending on canon priority order, yes

Appears contradictory to established beheaviour of the Bureau? Incompatible

We've got so small a data base for the "established behavior of the Bureau" for contradictory data to possibly appear. Unless you are taking the "behavior" of the Bureau based on our protagonists. What really makes the Bureau is not them, but the Bureau bureaucratic mass, and the evidence tells us that our protagonists are heads and shoulders above "the masses", and not just in power. Our heroines are just the propaganda lamps that obscure the much dirtier and darker TSAB mass.

Only if the anime was based on the novel in the first place, and it clearly isn't. If you can show any evidence that says otherwise, I'll gladly conceed the entire matter.
The Suzumiya Haruhi novels have higher authenticity than the Haruhi anime. But the Ah! My Goddess novel (written by Toma Yumi) does not have higher autheticity than the AMG anime let alone manga.

I can also argue, by SoD logic, that since a canon prioritization has not been established (at least for MGLN, maybe one has been established for Haruhi and AMG), canonicity is equal and thus a newer source will override the older one, in which case the novelization will "win". (The novel is a 2005 production and the anime a 2004 production).

If you're talking about Erio, he wasn't taken to a "care facility" immediately after being seperated from his parents. He was taken to some lab that Fate shut down. The experience probably traumatised him so bad he was anti-social at HQ's special care center, until Fate got through to him.

Oh, the manga, oh yeah. Nevertheless, it is canonically clear that the so called "care facility" itself was no heaven, for either Caro or Erio (just look at the wonderful sterileness of that place). Further, had Nanoha been impressed into said "care facility" from her family to an alien world in an abrupt fashion, would she be less of a wreck than Erio after his lab experience?

And did you notice that no units wanted to "take her (Caro) in" (at least according to the fan-translated version). Did you notice that inside this whole conversation, Caro's will was never discussed? Just a bunch of "buyers" each looking at her and shaking their head? BTW (this reminds me), do you remember Episode 5, where the wonderful ... uh ... staff, basically said Caro was completely useless based entirely on her tactical utility (remember the statements about throwing her alone onto a world and letting her and her dragon rampage - is Caro a low-tier Saiyajin now)? Does it look like anyone's experience at the hands of TSAB turds will be heaven?

By the way, whose research institution was it? So, Erio was kidnapped by people who looked a lot like government officials, then taken to a research institution (which was hell), and Fate brought him to a "care facility" (no heaven either), then eventually got him to join the TSAB.

But when? Do you think they'd really let go of an over A-rank mage after just 3-5 years of service?

Frankly, yes. This is after all ... Conscription ... not Slavery. Even depostic societies tend to release their conscripts at some point, and while the TSAB is hardly a white sheet, I won't call it (as far as we can tell) depostic.

Edit: After a while, I realise we had forgotten something. Our negative reaction isn't to drafting. The TSAB is free to draft anyone from Midchilda and other Administrated Worlds if it wants to. But what gives them the right to grab civilians of a Non-Administrated World into their service? That'd be like conscripting American civilians into the French army.

The Brits have done this, definitely. It is called Impressment and became a problem with the then newly independent Americans.

So you believe that a agency that can impress has great qualms against "mere" conscription?

I'm just saying you haven't shown me evidence for either, in the manga or anime.

that since a canon prioritization has not been established (at least for MGLN, maybe one has been established for Haruhi and AMG), canonicity is equal and thus a newer source will override the older one, in which case the novelization will "win". (The novel is a 2005 production and the anime a 2004 production).

"New source" for Haruhi canon is the novels, that is still ongoing. "New source" for AMG is manga, that is also still ongoing. "New source" for Nanoha would be the anime, since it was continued while the novel was not.

The Brits have done this, definitely. It is called Impressment and became a problem with the then newly independent Americans.

Correct. It was a problem then, and it would be a problem now, and it would be a problem if the TSAB did it too. Impressment is tatamount to kidnapping. Rereading what you wrote in the Military Discussion, you state that the TSAB does do this based on the novel. But do you feel they should be allowed to?

arkhangelsk
2007-11-04, 00:27
Yes, but the new Nanoha anime no longer covers this period, thus it does not override.

Considering how few our sources are, one should be happy that something was said about the matter at all.

As for Impressment, a problem with analogizing our Terran Conscription / Impressment procedure with Midchildran is the whole chasm between elite mages and normal mages. It is arguably a much bigger gap than than say Normal mages and complete mundanes.

This difference allows strong utilitarian pressures to enter the equation. Deontologically, there's no question about it, it is immoral. Utilitarian ethics, however, will say that the potential benefits of elite mages is immense. When comparing the interests of Worlds to Individuals...

Well said. By the way, I hate to say this, but is this forum fading a little bit? I don't think I've ever seen a time when a post can retain its status as the "latest post" for so long!

This 'fading' is just an illusion...

Wait until the Weekdays...

This is how things work in the OC...

That is why we have

Backlog Zamber
Backlog Breaker - Giga Backlog Breaker to be exact
Backlog Smasher - Quoting Shift
*goes off to utter long list*

===

And speaking of time... I finally got the time to put in this preview, with all the canon info and such- though some are not.

I once thought i was just an ordinary boy- a boy that could use magic.

"Come on buddy, let's go!"

"Ashton, come on, let's go home!"

"Sorry, but you know my father- he's a strict one."

"Awww bummer... you are always no fun."

But...

He looks out of the car window and sees girls in groups doing their things after classes. He then unbuttons his shirt, revealing a green stone that was somehow set in his flesh.

I'm not normal.

"You are not allowed to have any physical interactions with girls, especially holding hands... i expressly forbid you to do that. If you can follow my request, then you can go to the Bureau Academy. You know of your condition, as we have told you many times..."

"Yes father..."

"Though... If you are in a situation that threatens your life, and that if you're stuck with a girl... you have to think carefully, as this might be a permanent bond. We are only thinking of your future, what if you get bonded to a girl that does not like you? that will not be good..."

But... I live on, as myself.

"Really, a Ghost in the Academy, you're joking Tea."

"Well, that's what I've heard..."

"How about we bust it?"

*Someone in the shadows gulps*

And it seems... fate has other plans for me...

*Years later, we find Subaru doing rescue work, though now she's trying her best not to get crushed from a megacolumn that broke during a quake- in a*

"I Can't hold this much longer!!!"

Suddenly, something approaches from behind and the weight suddenly lifts.

"Good work Isis!"

"Thanks... and who are..."

Suddenly, Black humanoids with claws for hands appear, surrounding them.

Grand Plans...

TSABS Rei'dana, on the border of what seemed to be an, up until now, unmapped area of the Green Zone. Same time.

How's it going, Dr. Lingshen?

Well... Nothing.

Nothing?

Yes, Captain Hallaoun... Nothing. Though I'm now used to the new equipment that was developed during my 3 year sabbatical and 3 year break, i'm still getting nothing, as if this area was wiped off the charts.[ Even if with your ship- which currently is back in drydock for maintenance, i doubt of any results. I'll see what i can pull up from CLANNAD (Combat Layer Advancing Neural Network Assistance Device/Directive)... and while we're at it, might as well map this area.

Suddenly, a part of the ship explodes, activating alarms all over the ship.

"Engines 1 & 2 are damaged, holding fields are in place. Reactors are losing power..."

Any signs of attack?

I'm scanning right now... i'm detecting faint intents... mutiple!

Outside, several fighter-shaped phantom objects surround the injured ship.

"All Defenses are down 50%!!"

This is bad. What's worse is that i don't have my Barrier Mask with me.

Meanwhile, deep within the 'unmapped' zone, a white winged ship was carefully observing.

"Bureau Ship detected bearing 320-320, distance 250,000. ID is the Rei'dana... something's attacking her."

They shouldn't be here... but... we can't leave them alone. Minerva, can you detect the attackers?

Yes Captain, JAM... Types A,B and C... with two Type Es far back.

Good... Vincent, move the ship and ready the DRA-M units and fighters, as well as two transports- we might have to evac this one.

Yes Captain... Helm, all ahead maximum.

In the Skies over one of the Bureau's Training Planets, an Instructor and her two students were on their way back to the base when suddenly, the instructor slows down.

"Instructor, what's that matter?"

You guys go ahead, i'll just take five...

"Okay... and keep safe"

As soon as the two were out of range, she stops and aims.

Divine Buster...

Shoot!!!

the trademark 'pink light of destruction' heads towards a point in the sky and something glints. and out of it, come forth three black jet shaped objects firing something.

What the hell... missiles?!!

she began to evade and counterattack, but missing each time.

Nanoha, are you okay? Your students have arrived without you, what's the matter?

Keroko! good timing. I'm being chased by something flying... and they have missles- magic seeking warheads!

Okay, i'll be there in five...

Five? I don't have five minutes!

Who said about five minutes

The white mage looks up and sees her black cousin overhead. but after Five minutes of engagement, none of the three fighters were hit.

Who or what are these guys anyway?!!

Number Holding Facility. Just a few minutes ago, this wasa serene place- we even got sight of Nove eating happily in the cafeteria.

But now, the facility is in ruins, with Bureau operatives scrambling to find out what the hell happened.

"Lieutenant Lanstar... good timing!"

What happened here?

"Something attacked us and got away with the high level prisoners... Scagletti, Quattro, Due, even Uno..."

And the rest?

"We found them injured... and medical staff are looking at them- but given their nature... we might need a mechanic as well."

She heads towards the makeshift infirmary and sees someone also looking at them, in her violet, skintight barrier jacket, with a bow strapped on her back.

You were wondering why only the doc and his closest cronies right? I'm asking the same too... Rurika Serenade... AX.

- well that's basicaly what i can throw for now.

@ Thread...

all this talk about the military must not continue any longer... if you wanted, go to the appropriate thread- not here in the OC.

2007-11-04, 00:57
*After reading 4 to 6 new pages of thread, falls down gasping for breath*

Is this the backlog you speak of? I've never seen a thread move so fast, except on 4chan! My god, am I expected to do this every day?

*Stares at argument about conscription*

Yeah, I'm not touching that topic with a 10-foot rusty halberd.

Sorry you just seemed to be clinging to this whole “uber force field of some kind makes us untouchable so we can pwn the TSAB with a single planet” thing and it was annoying me as it was against canon, against common sense, and pretty damn hax.

Before I make the mistake of time warping/uber force-fields (which I don't really plan on), just specifically what kinds of spells are in the Nanoverse? I mean, other than the ones used in the anime. Are there some mentioned in the manga/novels/Sound Stages I don't know about? My knowledge of any sorcery comes from D&D, which is a horribly broken system in its own right (Stop time for 4 rounds while I can do almost whatever I please? YES PLZ.)


I've never really like the whole "some tiny bad somehow defeats huge empire" cliche it make no sense and it's done to death. If you looked at allot of fiction you'd thinking being big was some kind of disadvantage in a war!

Well to be honest that's something that's kinda stuck with me. My dad shoved Star Wars down my throat when I was six, and so the concept of "Rebels vs. Empire" really stuck with me. *headdesk* Even though everyone and their brother will probably say the Empire should have won, they didn't. Being bigger apparently really is a disadvantage in war *shrug*.

Or maybe if you have enough guts and FIGHTING SPIRIT along with the TRUE SPIRIT OF MEN you can achieve anything ;) .


Well the problem was you could then get quote trees half a page long... I've seen some boards that do that and it actually gets more confusing once you have like 10 quotes nested inside each other.

Fair enough :p . Although crazy quote trees are sometimes good for the lulz.

I will admit I missed it though you did just change it up slightly to "impregnable forcefield" which wasn't much better.

Oh, oh, this reminds me. Do any planets in the Nanoverse have anything like planetary shielding? Not necessarily global, as that'd be kind of pointless, but like, shields over key areas? (Major cities/industrial complexes/etc.)


They could try, but they'd never learn anything as they'd lack the tools even try and analyze it, fuck they wouldn't even know what the wings where for! Or why it was full of big empty spaces inside (fuel tanks), or... and so on. Even if they took it apart down to the last bolt it's debatable if they'd learn anything at all form it as they wouldn't even grasp the concepts of psychics that drive it's operation.

Acutally they probably never figure out flight from this as they have no pilots and don't even understand how something made of metal and weighing 20 tons COULD fly. (a perposturous idea to be sure!) so they'd never attempt to get it too, never mind they'd have no way to refine the highly advanced fuel it would require anyway. If it HAS fuel to start and they figure out how to start and attempt to use it they probably destroy it a fire crash very quickly thus ending any further study.

Actually as soon as I saw the beginning of this part the first thing that hit me was "oh fuck no pilots/fuel. Durrhurr."

I still think reverse-engineering to some degree is possible when presented with some advanced technology. In this case, maybe I could further advance their tech and give them some form of space travel within the system? That'd provide the basic understanding, wouldn't it? Or no?

Again it gets back to the fact that science is all interwoven and self supporting you can't just get one example of something and then suddenly have 15 other disciplines rocket froward as well to allow you to build it.

Right, right. It'd take years -_-. Or decades... or centuries. What have you.

Even a shitty F-14 knock off would demand massive advances in:
-Metallurgy
-Chemistry
-Psychics
-Construction
-The INVENTION of the entire field of electronics
Plus massive numbers of skilled workers which demands huge boosts in education and entirely new factories on a vastly larger scale which will demand still more innovation, and on and on.

I actually have no real comment except this:

You dare insult the F-14?! DIE DIE DIE! F-14 > *.
(Pretentious conceited F-14 fan -_-)

I've been through this argument a million times with people reverse engineering is neither easy OR fast unless you're already very close to the target objects tech level, but that's nearly never the case in sci-fi in which it's almost always used to explain a ludicrously large leap in capability in an insanely short time period which is WRONG.

This is something else that got me thinking of raising their tech levels. And then instead of a global civil war you'd have an interplanetary civil war *evil grin.*

A broken one that over simplifies the problem vastly?

Told ya ;) .

And very limited in number a largerly illiterate populace is NOT acceptable for someone attempting to establish a high tech economy even technicians nowadays often have years of formal schooling at a level arguably higher then the greatest scientists of the 1800s.

True... well, how about this: a literate society that's on the verge of global economic collapse because of a sustained global or interplanetary war? Place the system out far enough (I think Lowegear or someone suggested 200 days travel in modern TSAB times). The Ramza incident occurs, slightly more advanced planet pwns the other habitable planet, and so on.

DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON TREKNOLOGY.

*Pops a vein before reaching over to grab a blabbering trekkie by the throat crushing it and then hurling his corpse into a flaming pit and clams down slightly*

Star Trek technology is an abomination of pointless technobabble, unthinking idiotic writers with all the science education of a 5th grader and the story writing skills of an 8th grader between them. It's riddle with outright contradictions abuse of terminology, utterly brain dead characters passed off as "experts", tech of the week that's never mentioned again despite it possibly being enormously useful, and bullshit techno panaceas to every problem.

Trek Science and engineering is STUPID science and it should be the LAST model you opt to follow.

Oh but they have stuff like the inverse flux trilithium warp capac- *brick'd*

http://stardestroyer.net/Empire/Essays/Engineering.html For some examples.

<3 this site.

Solid slugs would still be ineffective at any kind of stand off range since you're average space ship can move faster then what most think is the fastest possible speed a railgun could fire at (something like 6 kilometers a second). Plus the slugs are unguided so the ship has even more options for evade them. Also I'm having issues buying you can apparently riddle it with holes and yet it won't basically fall apart in a million pieces on atmospheric reentry... the hole that ripped the space shuttle apart was like the size of your fist for instance.

Mm, well, it was just an idea. If I do incorporate the idea of inter-system fleets, then maybe the incident could occur in a different method. Thoughts?

Acutally we do since the F-15 are 30 years old and nearly falling apart (many now operate under G limits because if pushed to hard they might literary fall apart in mid air). Plus the F-15 is actually inferior to many modern threat aircraft in terms of airframe (in electronic it still may have a slight edge) the F-22 is better at both AND cheaper to maintain going froward.

In the long run, yes. I was trying to put it in context to what was going on. Nowadays the F-15 is getting up in its years, but it can still off most of what its up against. I mean, we're not planning on going to war with nations that have Typoons, Flankers, and Viper Zero's.

A huge rail gun oribtal defense grid... that's going to be a harder sell.

To be honest, I've always seen advanced railgun technology occurring before laser weaponry would be viable.

The answer to the later could easily be "Somewhere around the next planets orbit" space being pretty damn empty is also pretty damn easy to look through they're is very little reason to get that close if you have a big telescope and a few antennae. It's also arguable they might have some kind of cloaking device against common modern sensors since no one seems to have noticed the big space cruisers orbiting earth for instance.

That's acutally canon for me they can jam and scramble most EM detection to the point of near invisibility. Which also forces them to attack each other close in... but I was just looking to explain the above, of course.


Maybe the captain made an error in judgment and ended up within sensor range? Or the computer's calculations were off slightly, not accounting for probability or some such (example: if sensor systems orbit the planet, they maybe the computer did not anticipate a subtle gravitational shift due to the planet's rotation etc etc. Like the space version of the Butterfly Effect. From what I understand, this occurs all the time.

Impossible to answer definitively, but probably not that big from what we see as the TSAB has some pretty advanced AI and we don't see tons of crewmen on any of their ships, in fact a handful on the bridge seem to be able to run it. This might be SLIGHTLY higher back then, but probably not that much I tended to peg it at the largest ships (nearly a kilometer long in my case) having naval crews of around 250 to 300,and some number of marines and possibly an air wing (if you use space fighters) for a total of like 500 to 750 people aboard, that's a battleship a cruiser would be smaller.

This makes me wish that we had a technical manual on TSAB ships or something.

Orbits decay SLOW, unless they where accelerating into the feild it could take YEARS, even decades for them to decay out of even a medium orbit and into the atmosphere.

The fact was though they must still have had maneuvering power as nothing that size could do anything besides slam into the ground like a falling asteroid if it didn't. Actually that would be a serious risk a 500 meter long ship that didn't burn up and struck the ground after an uncontrolled orbital descent and then possibly exploded on impact would be disastrous we're taking energy levels into the thousand of megatons. Needless to say not only might you lose a small country, but you won't be finding much useful tech after that!

...oh wow. I forgot about things like Impact Explosions. Jesus wtf is wrong with me. *headdesk* My apologies. Maybe this space-angle would be more viable?

Well I've always felt a quick verbal punch to the gut will get someone to listen better then dancing around for 5 pages trying not to offend anyone. It's good that you want to know about it, but some of this stuff could be done just by a little research or common sense.

Gomen, gomen, in a lot of those cases you were right, and a little research would have gone a long way.

I still find the idea of 90% of a population being able to be mages of any rank to be very unlikely.

Then cut the number by 2/3 or 3/4? What would be considered a high number but not a hax number?

The first incident was time critical by the time it was at the point it might have justified a larger force they didn't have much choice, but to go for it.

The thing is that if the Jewel Seed incident was soooo important (Lost Logia, Precia, Project Fate, etc. etc.), I think they could have mobilized two ships rather than one.

Part of me just thinks it was stuff the writers didn't think about at the time.

The BOD though is far less forgivable indeed, the threat was clear from the start and yet as you said one ship was all that shows up indeed many of us have argued this handling was incompetent. That said if Graham hadn't fucked things up they MIGHT have still won with little damage... Plus they had a bunch of AAA or near S rank mages around, from what we see the force of Chrono, Nanoha, and Fate was already way more magical power then most units could hope to have and if mages ARE rare then it's possible they just didn't have a thousand of them to throw at the problem to begin with.

I agree. In any event, it was stuff like this that makes me think the TSAB can be really crappy about sending what where to do whatever. Some of this was Graham, but I think some of it was shitty planning.

Or maybe it was overconfidence that Chrono/Fate/Nanoha could do it.

But then, I didn't think Nanoha was officially part of the TSAB yet? Granted, she had helped them in the past, but IMO an organization would be foolish to immediately trust someone that powerful, on an unadministered world, as to let them go off and do whatever. If Fate could be pretty much brainwashed by Precia (granted, it had probably been going on since Fate's creation) that easy at that early of and age, then safe to say the same could have been done to Nanoha.

If it was THAT close and so low tech AND racked by war subjecting it shouldn't have been to hard in fact most of the people would have viewed this is as blessing most likely. I just find it unlikely a planet SO close to Mid would somehow not be brought into the TSAB in a 100+ years.

That's why we're moving it to the UAW part of the Galactic Map.

99% of evidence points to, no, it wasn't and fanon basically say as much definitively. As was said if Belka was another planet then that means they would both have had large war fleets up to 300 years ago... which makes the idea of this planet teching up to that level form modern day in less then 100 even more unlikely.

So it's possible, however, very unlikely, that Belka was a planet? Got it.

I'm hell bent on flaming incorrect and bad Ideas, I don't really care who is purposing them you at all you seem alright actually, but that won't stop me from destroying your (or anyone else's) arguments if I think they're wrong though.

This isn't a bad thing. Like I said, I could be a whiny bitch about it, but then, nothing would get done.

These are the changes I’d make to keep some of the same idea:

1-The ship isn’t shot down it crashes after some kind of accident or another battle, the TSAB doesn’t come around because they don’t know what happened to it it’s effectively lost in space. This happens quite awhile ago perhaps around the time of the TSAB founding. This gives time for some teching without any time manipulation or force field bull crap.
2- The planet isn’t even near Mid it’s out past the fringes in an inhabited but barely explored region.
3- The TSAB dose find it many years later and notes it’s oddly similar tech and realizes what happened, at this point it dose perhaps attempt to get them to join the TSAB, and this could spark a conflict, but that conflict is like just them going “fuck you!” and shooting at the TSAB ships a bit which then withdraw.
4- The TSAB then basiclly says, “well they’re pretty small and pretty far away and they have just enough forces that we’d need to expend a bit of effort to conquer them… eh not worth it monitor, but ignore.”
5- Now they would obviously not see it that way and would probably keep rearming and such using the “TSAB menace” as pretense.

lol this is actually a good reimage of my old idea.

But it got me to thinking about something else too. What if this star system was one subjugated by the TSAB? As with all galactic (or part galactic) governments, I'm sure no one went peacefully. Maybe this system just would not stop harrassing the TSAB so they finally went "Oh fuck it" and pwnd the shit out of them. This would lead to further resentment to the TSAB, but it'd also give me a more viable reason for the Order of Freelance Mage's existence: Erusian mages loyal to the TSAB, not to their homeworld.

...This is kinda fun.
I'm making something for characters to be based off of. I haven't even gotten to the real characters yet! I could enjoy this ;)

Utilitarian ethics, however, will say that the potential benefits of elite mages is immense. When comparing the interests of Worlds to Individuals...

It's not just comparing the interests of Worlds to Individuals. Impressment is showing utter comtempt towards national juristriction. Not even something as grand as the TSAB has the right to demand the services of someone not bound to their authority in any manner.
You might argue that the TSAB's need for someone like Nanoha is stronger than Japan's need for her, I say no of their business if she rejected them and they have no right to do anything about it. Also, I'm satisfied that even you consider it immoral.

all this talk about the military must not continue any longer... if you wanted, go to the appropriate thread- not here in the OC.


Meh, doesn't really matter, it's not like we got anything else better to do...

"Might makes right."

They have the right to do it because they can, end of story. Frankly this is just how governments work and people too for that matter if a weaker power has something a stronger one wants chances are they'll ask nicely and if they don't get it they'll ask again, with a gun to your head, and if you're still stupid enough to say no they'll just shot you and take it. Also how come Japan's claim on her is apparently stronger and more legitimate then the TSABs? If Japan suddenly decided to start impressing children like her to work in factories to aid the economy would that be somehow more acceptable? :eyebrow:

:nod:

She also held a lot of respect for the researcher, Reban Innova; who was responsible for bringing her and Aurion into TSAB service in the first place. She and Aurion both seem to feel a strangely calming aura around the elderly man. This person is also the one responsible for creating Aurion and Almaria’s custom devices, namely Vega and Altair. She considers the Spectral Enforcers as the family she never had.


Barrier Jacket: She was a most noticeable figure in the Spectral Enforcers, owing to the fact that her Barrier Jacket was the only one that wasn’t an offshoot of the standard Enforcer BJ design. Her outfit contained a mostly rosy white sleeved vest with lavender accents that reaches a few inches down her waist. Her arms had lightly decorated bracers, the hands having black fingerless gloves with white knuckle-guards and her combat boots were of the lightweight type and that reached halfway up her calves. Both bracers and boots had similar color schemes to her vest. Her legs were adorned with black cycling shorts that reached halfway down her thighs. She had it designed specifically to allow her maximum mobility and flexibility during combat.

Unsurprisingly, the outfit also had the added effect (actually a nuisance, according to Aurion) of drawing the eyes of the males in then male-dominated Naval Corps. Almaria, despite being a tad embarrassed, amiably brushed off the minor irritant as irrelevant when compared to the performance boost she obtains in such a design.



Device: Intelligent Device: Altair:

http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/3502/blackholelaserpistolhv7.jpg

One of the two specialized experimental devices made by the researcher Reban Innova; the other being Aurion’s Vega. It takes the form of an energy pistol with two opposable barrels. It is outfitted with the then uncommonly used cartridge system, housing up to four cartridges at a time. It had design specifics that were only known to Reban. The A.I. has a young and polite male voice. Regarding its other specs, it has a high amount of targeting and control-amplification capability. Reban claimed that Altair and Vega would only work in their best potential when used by Almaria and Aurion; and this turned out to be true. Its portable mode takes the form of an A-shaped pendant attached to a beaded necklace.



Fighting Style: As mentioned above, her fighting style is like distinctively graceful trance. Where she seems to be simply swaying and dipping gracefully; very much like dancing whilst firing precision shots. Her movements are elegant as she seemingly weaves through attacks at a hairsbreadth of hitting her. Her barriers are impressively maneuverable, being able to deflect smaller shots and even acts as makeshift springboards if she needs to dodge quickly. Her most impressive magical skill though has to be her attacks. She oftentimes fire off moderate to high-power projectiles that are almost always quite small but have high precision and power. During close-quarters combat, when enough of these shots are in the air, an area of ten meters around her becomes an equally beautiful and deadly projectile-saturated zone. In this stage, she fully enters a trance where she dances inside the projectile deathzone, almost assuring that anybody else trapped there without suitable defenses is defeated in short order. Her degree of control over her shots is heightened by Altair’s specialized design, allowing her to control several dozen projectiles while still moving with apparent ease. Even to the point that she actually shoots herself with the controlled bullets, dodging them at the last second and making them hit her opponents instead; essentially using her own body as the enemy’s blind spot. The Lavender orbs of energy shifts at varying speeds, shifting and swirling, creating a tantalizing sight to behold.

Aurion seems to be the only person to be able to handle her techniques easily, seeing as how he usually works with her style every time they are fighting together. Not being an outright offensive mage, he tends to use pinpoint tactical shots on certain spots that allow him to stage a multi-step surgical strike. This exchange either ends up in Aurion getting hit by multiple projectiles and losing or managing to capture Almaria in a bind or hitting her with a high-knockdown power shot that ruins her mobility and eventually her trance, essentially winning the match (Aurion has been seen to defend well against Almaria’s bullets when she loses concentration). Amusingly, she gets mad at some instances where Aurion wins. Not because of the fact that she loses, but because Aurion always ends the said matches with binds on her, which she dislikes. Aurion does not change this style due to the facts that it’s one of the most efficient way in dealing against her ‘dances’ and also just to irritate her; even going as far as not releasing her for a few minutes even after the sparring has ended.

Her performance becomes several times more impressive when paired with Aurion. The two of them seems to share a strange connection that allows them to work together like a single entity. The extent of their compatibility is so great that when teamed up, they can take on enemies that exceed their overall prowess. Despite the number of Almaria’s bullets and Aurion’s illusions, they never slip in their synch and functions amazingly well.

Going by standard analysis, Almaria has the more powerful Linker Core of the two. Her focus is primarily on agile offense, preferring several lower-powered shots over high-power singular ones. However, Aurion has a noticeably faster casting time and slightly more powerful attacks than her. Her defenses are relatively decent. However, she is a bit lacking on the tactical aspects of combat, due to her reliance on her relatively omni-directional offense capabilities to cover her blind spots. This is the field where Aurion clearly trumps her aside from having better defense and speed.

Her trigger phrase is, “Burst!”

Anyway, good details on the overalls. Though now that I look at it, I've noticed that everyone here while list the level of attack and all for their spells, don't exactly list the spell level on its own standard overall. :heh:

Profile: A silent and brooding person. A childhood friend, and also Almaria’s boyfriend. Was recruited into TSAB four months before Almaria. He proved to be a very talented and diligent trainee, gaining favor from the infamous Instructor Austin Abrams of the Air Force due to his commendable grit and fortitude even under the harshest of trainings. He rose fairly quickly along the ranks, earning the title of an Ace at fourteen years of age. Despite his age, he was notoriously famous for his oftentimes heartless method against opponents. He first killed a person when he was 13. He got transferred into the Navy a year after Almaria, becoming Spectrum 3 of the Spectral Enforcers. This would be his last position before the Perfect Void Incident and retiring from the army.


Personality: Serious, taciturn and a bit tactless. The Aurion from seventeen years ago can be considered worlds apart from the current one. He’s generally courteous, but can be a terrible adversary when angered. His nature as a child is rather dubious, only having a very small social circle. He finds it difficult to trust other people, initially only trusting Almaria. He prefers the company of higher-ranked and generally older people, having a large amount of respect for several of them. His peers were rather wary of him, and his attitude did little to help quell the cautious regards. Regardless, he was clear-headed and has a soft spot for kids. He generally talks with others in a polite but emotionless tone. He had a lot of interest in Device-mechanics, and took his free time as an occasional assistant to the researcher and Device-manufacturer, Reban Innova.

On a more positive note, he has somewhat lightened up through the years, thanks to the influence of other members of the Spectral Enforcers; although his abilities of sarcasm has also grown. As a soldier, he is considered to be a workaholic. To further this point, he also had a bad habit of pushing himself too much when work is involved. He's also very frugal about mundane tasks. His things are usually kept orderly. He can cook if need be, but he never bothers in making the dishes attractive. He has a bit of a soft spot for children, especially orphans such as himself. He also gets rather embarrassed when subjected to doting by elderly people.

His moral code was very utilitarian, as he had no qualms about killing a few to save several others. Almaria was very worried of this fact, remembering that Aurion was quite disturbed after his first time in killing a person. This is also the reason why he got the moniker, "Ace of the Heartless." He got his other nickname, "Hell's Inquisitor"; from the fact that he uses Willbreaker coupled with moderate to extreme physical torture when interrogating captured opponents. His main reasoning for being such is protecting those who are important to him and preventing more children like him in following the same fate.

I'm already a killer... But it doesn't matter. As long as those kids I know never end up like me. If I have to throw away my conscience in dealing with threats, so be it! Better me than them! Even if I've already become a demon, at least I'm sure I'm still able to protect what are important to me.

The only person whom Aurion seems to be completely relaxed around is Almaria. Even to the extent of taking an almost 180 degree turn in disposition. This includes actually being laid back and smiling constantly; as well as teasing her. Even when around other people, he never bothers to hide this change. Likewise, he was the only person the normally mature and professional Almaria acted completely relaxed and 'cute' with; most notably being comfortable in physical contact with him. They also like sparring with each other, with the score 35-32 in Aurion's favor.



Relationships: Needless to say, Aurion was an antisocial and cold individual to strangers. Even towards acquaintances, he rarely ever talks with them with complete sincerity, save for Almaria and some other people he respects. Gil Graham, Austin Abrams and the researcher named Reban Innova are some of the few people he holds complete respect for. The person he is closest to is without a doubt, Almaria. The reason for this stems back to when he was four... Almaria was the only person who bothered trying to talk and make friends with him, reasoning that they had the same birthday so they should at least get along well. Curiously, there was something more to their closeness than just being long-time acquaintances... A strange link that was forged between them ever since that day; allowing them a limited but accurate mutual perception. The reason behind this remains a mystery up to this day.

With that aside, his first ever, and only childhood friend was Almaria. She acted like a big sister to him, sometimes getting a reversal of roles in some circumstances. They complemented each other very well, one being stiff and emotionless while the other was bright and cheerful. As they grew up, their relationship only got stronger; culminating into being an item after one year of separation in service of TSAB.

They were really an almost perfect pair; both as people and as combatants. They worked practically flawlessly when in tandem, even at one time defeating two more-experienced S-ranked opponents despite the difference in rank, power and skill. Their abilities in combat as a pair was unbelievably good, one being a tactical and systematic aggressor and the other being a graceful range-attacker; both functioning as a single harmonized entity; almost as if having the same mind. Their lack of any melee specialization almost meant nothing when one sees them, as they support each other so well that they seemed to have a counter for just about anything, even covering flaws that both of them shared. In fact, they just worked TOO well as a team that it was almost inhuman. This was quite an oddity by those times; seeing as they seemed to be connected so well to the extent that they can actually feel each other’s presence when they are in similar locations… Some tests were run on the two, yet nothing out of the ordinary was found.

Unlike other people who've just become lovers, there's hardly any sense of shyness between them. There were also a very deep level of trust and respect for each other, assuring that they never let their adolescent impulses from taking their intimacy too far; promising each other that they will both wait until they are both old and mature enough to commit to each other. The leader of the Spectral Enforcers once made a comment that, "Che. They've just become an item. But from what I can see, their bond and understanding of each other is far, far better than most of the married couples I've seen."

He also held a lot of respect for the researcher, Reban Innova; who was responsible for bringing him and Almaria into TSAB service in the first place. He and Almaria both seem to feel a strangely calming aura around the elderly man. This person is also the one responsible for creating Aurion and Almaria’s custom devices, namely Vega and Altair. He would later also consider the Spectral Enforcers as the family he never had.



Barrier Jacket: Aurion’s Barrier Jacket was very similar to the standard Enforcer BJ design. The only noticeable difference was the darker color scheme with sharper details and a lighter frame. The performance of his requested design was significantly better than those of standard ones, allowing for good agility and defense at the same time.


Device: Intelligent Device: Vega:
http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/236/msz006beamriflerw2.jpg

One of the two specialized experimental devices made by the researcher Reban Innova; the other being Almaria's Altair. It takes the form of light energy rifle outfitted with the then uncommonly used cartridge system, housing up to four cartridges at a time. It had design specifics that were only known to Reban. The A.I. has a young and serious female voice. Regarding its other specs, it has a high amount of targeting and control-amplification capability. Reban claimed that Altair and Vega would only work in their best potential when used by Almaria and Aurion; and this turned out to be true. Its portable mode takes the form of a V-shaped pendant attached to a chain necklace. Aurion carries it around by having it wrapped around his left wrist instead of his neck. This is for almost instant access to it whenever it is needed; enabling him to whip out the rifle-device with just a flick of the wrist.


Fighting Style: Despite having very decent magic potential and combat skills, Aurion preferred to fight tactically even on the frontlines. He liked using combinations of illusion and temperature manipulation spells, essentially confusing the opponent and holding them in place with simple but effective ice spells/binds to be easily hit by finishing blows. His defenses were solid, and his speed was pretty decent. His attack capabilities were more suited for single-hit technical blows rather than battery attacks. He had particularly excellent control over few high-powered remote shot spells; being able to control them even at semi-sniping range. When close quarters combat is unavoidable, he usually surrounds himself with some Stinger Blades and uses the MEB (Magic Energy Bayonet) on Vega in order to gain distance. Given the right position, he is capable of bringing down much tougher opponents by using opportune openings and observed weaknesses to strike.

His performance becomes several times more impressive when paired with Almaria. The two of them seems to share a strange connection that allows them to work together like a single entity. The extent of their compatibility is so great that when teamed up, they can take on enemies that exceed their overall prowess. Despite the number of Almaria’s bullets and Aurion’s illusions, they never slip in their synch and functions amazingly well.

Going by standard analysis, Aurion has the less powerful Linker Core of the two. His focus is primarily on tactical offense, preferring high-power singular shots over several lower-powered ones. He also has a higher casting speed and has higher power spells when compared to her. His defenses are standard but very sturdy.

His trigger phrase is, “Attack!”



SPELL LIST:

Proton Bolt: This is his basic small-scale multi-projectile spell. It involves releasing/gathering energy around him and shooting them.

Special Spell:

Willbreaker: A specialized depressant spell. Aurion uses this spell to impede the target’s use of cohesive thinking due to directly sending impulses to the brain that messes up the several mental functions. Direct skin contact is needed on an area near the target’s spinal column. Aurion uses his hand in touching the target’s nape for best results. No long term damage is done to brain of the target as this spell only act like a potent drug. He used this mainly in interrogating; where he would use moderate to elevated physical torture combined with this spell to easily break the wills of the interrogated.


And now, for another scenario.:D
The following is a scenario right after a severe terrorism and kidnapping incident. Several of the subjects were too dangerous and were eliminated accordingly. Aurion got the majority of the kills, managing to finish off even the leader.

…………… No longer a human…

A lanky figure can be seen slumped over a broken wall, his eyes covered by the fringes of his hair. He’s clutching a device in the form of a rifle. He was almost a statue, if not for the light heaving of his chest.

What made that bastard so different from the rest? How come his words managed to bother me this much?

His grip on his device tightens as he grits his teeth, trying to will away the maddening crazed tone from replaying in his head…

Shut up…

c’mon! kill me now! you know you want to!

Shut up…

this is just what I want if I don’t get to win! hahahaha! you’re just the same as me! killing is nothing more than second nature, huh, gaki?!

Shut up…

you say that those you protect is the reason for your actions, but the truth is… your just using this reason as the reason to kill more!

Shut up…

that girl… she means nothing when it comes to your work, don’t you thi-

“Damare!” the quiet but clear word burst out of his mouth as he slammed his fist onto the wall behind him, creating several cracks on the worn concrete. His heaving got heavier as he tried to regain his composure.

And that’s… when I killed him… Why am I having these doubts now? Haven’t I promised myself of a never-wavering certainty? Kuso… Naze da?!

~~~~~~~~~~~

“Ungh!” Almaria gasped and clutched her chest, surprised by the sudden alien pain that didn’t come from her. Aurion…

“Onee-chan?” the three kids in front of her simultaneously exclaimed with worry.

“Ah… I-I’m fine…” She forced out a gentle smile. But later looked over worriedly over her shoulder, her dearest friend in her mind…

‘Aurion… Do you need to talk?’

‘You finish the ending procedures first, please… I’m okay… I just need a break… That last fight took a lot more than necessary out of me…’[/COLOR

“No go…” Aurion then proceeds to speed up his flight.

“Aurion!” Almaria gives chase, though not having much luck due to his higher flight maneuverability. She would later give up and fly forward with puffed cheeks, with the intention of beating him to the base.

Aurion only stares ahead at his in a huff girlfriend while chuckling. A few moments later, the previous scenarios today would replay in his mind.


……………………


Not this crap again… That bastard’s last words are tenacious, huh?

you know you want t-
[COLOR="darkslateblue"]You’re wrong!

Aurion, slightly lagging behind the high speed flight, contemplated the recent events in his mind. I’m… not going to be like you… Aurion glances at Almaria’s lithe frame, which was flying a few meters ahead of him. He closes his eyes tightly as he concentrates on his sworn duty. I cherish the people and things that I must protect… This isn’t just my duty… This is my conviction! We may both be devils now… But I’m a different devil compared to you.

He once again opens his eyes, only to find Almaria’s face right in front of his. He wasn’t able to notice her slowing down and positioning directly opposed to him. “Almaria?”

“Aurion…”

“What are you-?” Aurion tried to talk but was cut short and rendered speechless by Almaria’s lips meeting his; eyes widening in surprise.

Almaria pulled back, revealing her melancholic eyes focused at him, “Daijoubu…” she said softly, just enough to let him hear her voice over the rushing air, “Don‘t let his words get to you… You are different… Because I know more than anybody else can; that we are important to you.” Her eyes shone with faith in him, “Dakara… Please stay the same… Our-…My reliable but silent partner.” She then smiled encouragingly.

Aurion could only gaze back at his girlfriend, an uncertain emotion in his eyes, “Orewa…” Aurion once again closes his eyes in deep thought.

“Aurion?” Almaria flies closer. “Are you al-Mmmphh!” it was her turn to be rendered speechless as Aurion kissed her this time. She let out a breathless gasp, her face blushing brightly as he pulled back and grinned roguishly.

“You don’t have to worry. Since I’m already sure with the matter myself…” Aurion said while still grinning. Despite these words, his heart felt lighter and more reassured. “Regardless, thank you Almaria.”

Almaria blushed prettily and nodded while smiling. “Don’t worry. I’m always here for you, just as you’re always there for me.”

A small silence formed between the two as they stared at each other; their own personal resolve strengthening with each passing moment. Aurion would break the silence a few moments later.

“Ahh. But…” Aurion’s smile grew wider, “I’m still keeping this video!” he then held out his left wrist bearing Vega; watching Almaria’s face flush darkly before speeding away laughing. And as if that wasn’t enough, “I wonder how much they would pay if I had this auctioned at the base!”

“Ah-ah… I…” Almaria stammered as she saw him zoom away. She then shakes her head furiously and glowers at quickly zipping away Aurion, speeding up her flight as well, “AURION! Come back here, you baka!”

“Hahahaha!”

The rest of the team could only shake their heads in wonder at the laughing couple who reached them later.

Yes… as long as I have them… I won’t hesitate. I’m sure about this… This is all someone like me can do. And I’ll make sure I won’t fail!

And some combination attacks!:D
COMBINATION ATTACKS: Aurion and Almaria’s almost absolute empathic link allowed them for a number of combination assaults as a single unit.

Dual Turbo Blitz Strike/D.T.B.S: One of their combination attacks, this one being set as the ranged attack. Almaria would initiate her trance with more than a hundred bullets of mixed Impact and Piercer Bolts using two cartridges. She would then start advancing towards the opponent. Aurion would first engage one enemy up close; letting Almaria’s shots (all of which amazingly never even graze him) cover for his lack of melee specialization. He would then either bind or incapacitate the opponent with any appropriate spell (usually using two cartridges for best effect), falling back into Almaria’s blizzard of projectiles afterwards. At this point, he would join Almaria and her shots in completely mauling down the opponent with innumerable energy projectiles, finishing the assault when Aurion Sonic Moves behind the opponent and stabs the enemy with his MEB (using up another cartridge) and shoot him/her towards Almaria. She would then shoot with her own MEB followed by a Kinetic Buster (using up her remaining cartridges), blowing back the enemy towards Aurion for him to finish off with a cartridge-boosted Break Impulse. A definitive elimination maneuver, the target is not expected to make it out alive after this.

Eye of the Storm Assault/E.S.A.: The close-ranged variation of the first combination assault. Almaria and Aurion would simultaneously engage the adversary up close with a staggering amount of controlled shots. They would rely on their agility, Aurion’s occasional illusions and the sheer volume of the shots to avoid any counterattacks the enemy might try.



Finally!:D
This time, I sure hope he feels different from the current one. For the scene where he talks with the two kids, just imagine Setsuna from Gundam 00 talking with Gimmy and Darry from Gurren Lagann.:p Vega is based off Zeta Gundam's beam rifle.:p

And though unintentionally, I managed to put in even more rabu-rabu and some fanservice as well.:twitch::heh::eyespin::D

Comments?:D

More bluecheese! :eek: Looks like you've kept yourself busy, unlike me who's taking periodic breaks from writing. :heh:

Anyway... what should we call this Aurion? DereTsun? :p

Touche, however, do keep in mind that the TSAB has hundreds of worlds to look after, which would explain their understaffment. Also, service in the TSAB is optional, not mandatory (as shown by Yuuno) which means that not every mage will automatically be in the TSAB.

Now, I am not saying the mage population on Mid-Childa is 90%, I find that a rather high number myself, but something along the lines of 20 to 30% sounds far more realistic, if not a bare minimum for the TSAB to even be able to exist.

Concidering the gang-pressing, I am still disputing that. The source of the gang-pressing -the novel- has shown to dispute canon before, even going as far as changing events as they happened in the anime. I am having serious trouble believeing a source that alters canon material as reliable, even more so as the gang-pressing has been directly contradicted in the series, as they gave Nanoha a choice whether she wanted to become involved or not.

Well, I wanted to say something, but ark's intervention into this thread pretty much cites a whole lot more than what I wanted to say initially.

@Nighty: Signum... pregnant...:eek: More crack from the master!:eyespin: BTW, are you still going to make Zul a UD later?

Maybe~~~

Anyway, it's still early. Right now, I want to be going with foreshadowings first.

[QUOTE=Aaron008R;1236355]I was wondering wether to put it in or not, but I thought, "To hell with it!":p
It's a running gag, if you think about it.:p Almaria, Hayate, Reinforce, Signum, some of Satty's female OC's... All victims one way or another of his binds when it comes right down to it.:p It IS a lot less of a hassle instead of trying to hold them down on those circumstances.:p

I am so expecting people to start twisting these words when they see it...:rolleyes::eyespin::eyespin::p

His legs too, lost their strength, as with that last burst of power, not to mention the countless cuts near his knees, thighs, and feet, the crimson wounds on his leg were no longer just decorations as his legs dropped to their knees.

Also how come Japan's claim on her is apparently stronger and more legitimate then the TSABs?

Based on the fact that she's a Japanese citizen born and living under their laws on their territory since birth.

If Japan suddenly decided to start impressing children like her to work in factories to aid the economy would that be somehow more acceptable?

It would not. But they get first dibs on her services as rulers of the land she lives on.

:heh: And they're dropping one by one :heh: Good luck then :D

Chances are I'll still be lurking up till the day that the exam starts...:uhoh:
Didn't realize I had posted earlier on until I previewed my post. -_-

2. Plan out their responses
3. Results! And what you make of them. :heh:



1. Mental or physical?
2. Pain or pleasure?

21. Any final thoughts?



I'll get to it once exams are over :D

Knowing how it will end up in the future pained me for quite a lot as well.:( The more enjoyment I get from making their closeness clearer, the more phantom pain I feel when i think about the big picture later.:upset: But i won't let this stop me!:mad: If this is all I can do for my favorite female OC, then I'll do her eventual demise with as much justice as I can by making her as alive as she can be in the hearts of those who read about her!:frustrated::heh:
Yep! I don't have anyting like that planned, but chances are I'll end up killing off some of my OC's in the future... Only if the time is right though.

It's still sad, though.:( I'm actually wondering wether I should do the profiles of the top two of the Spectral Enforcers. Based on Akio and Sanae from CLANNAD.:)

Akio = EXTREME Kamina-like charisma and likes to looks at cute girls.:heh: Also spouts a lot of nonsense at times but very intelligent.:D
Sanae = Motherly character. The only person in TSAB who could make Aurion embarrassed due to being doted upon (he used to have a weakness against being cared for by parent-figures. The trying-to-act-tough-I-can-manage-myself schtick.:D).:heh::D

Basically Aurion and Almaria's parent-figures in the squad.:) But I don't know if I can take the pain of doing more characters with the same fate as Almaria...:upset:

:heh: Well they could die from food poisoning....:uhoh:
Combine Sanae's bread with Akiko's Jam.....:uhoh::uhoh::uhoh:

Oh shit!

*runs*
Imagine Chrono walking along a street when he hears a woman answer her cellphone to THAT ringtone...

"Ah, Chrono-kun, dame..."

WAHT THE!!!!:eyespin:
So...much...backlog :eyespin:

Been trying to figure out how to do a post like this for a while and I finally got a good idea :). Takes place after Early Reflections (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1210382&postcount=13399).


"Sham~"

I looked up from my comfortable position on the couch over at the kitchen. Through the door I could see my mother smiling at me as she was doing the dishes after dinner. She didn't have to say another word as I immediately knew what she wanted. With a silent sigh, I roll off the couch and maneuver my way around my two sisters to go wipe the dishes. Sometimes I wonder why I have to do so many chores around the house while my sisters can just sit around and watch TV. Of course, the answer is always the same:

"You're the oldest and need to set a good example for your sisters. Plus you need to learn some responsibilities."

Even though that's why mom and dad tell me, I can't help but wonder if it's really because they like the free labor, a.k.a. their son. As I helped with the dishes, I couldn't help but glance out the kitchen window at the evening sky. Dinner tonight was a bit later than usual since dad was working late on some big engineering project at work. What it was, he really couldn't say. If it's anything like the other things I've seen him help make, it's gonna be very cool.

With the dishes washed, dried, and put neatly away I hang up the damp towel and flop back down on my original spot on the couch. Mom came in a short while later with her papers from work that she needed to finish. Dad was on the other end of the couch reading the paper for the day. My two sisters, Arael and Armisael, were on the floor watching some cartoon on the TV. I don't really pay much attention to what they watch nowadays as I don't find those shows as interesting anymore. Now anime, that's something completely different. That reminds me...I need to get a copy of that newer series from my friends when I see them at school.

CRASH

I instinctively dove of the couch as the window behind me shattered. My sisters screamed, diving for cover next to me at the base of the couch. What the hell was that? Some punks on a drive-by?

Lifting my head up, I took a quick survey around to try and find out what it was that went through the window. Besides all the shattered glass I couldn't see anything. The TV was black, but no damage to the screen. Huh...when did they turn it off?

"Come out, come out where ever you are~"

My parents were instantly on their feet and peering out the window. Apparently whoever it was that broke the window was still outside. I picked up my sisters and pulled them away from the couch towards the kitchen as I saw my mother heading for the phone and dialing for who I presume was 911.

"What do you want? Who are you?" I could hear my dad shouting out the window.

"You know what I want."

Turning my head I could see mom slamming the phone back on the cradle. The phone lines are dead? Just who is this guy? We don't have anything of real value in here...

My thoughts are broken as I feel my mother grabbing my arm and ushering us towards the rear door of the house. Like most houses here, ours had a door that lead out into the backyard. Made it so much easier to get outside than having to go out the front and all the way around the house. Rushing into to the backyard, I presumed we were going to cut through the neighbor's yard to get away. At least, that was until we saw a figure blocking out intended path of escape.

"Ah, I don't think so."

That voice...if was the same guy from outside! But how did he know we were going out here? How did he even get here so fast? I could feel my mother holding us protectively as she stared him down. He was an odd-looking man, maybe around my parent's age with his black hair pulled back into a ponytail. What got my attention was his clothes. It was...odd. Long pants with boots and some kinda cape attached to the waist. His jacket wasn't closed, exposing his chest and there was some kind of armor on his shoulders and wrists. Some kind of new clothing style or something? Or maybe some cosplayer on drugs?

Behind us, I heard my dad run out the door and stand between us and him. He held two broom handles in his hands, tossing one to my mother. I felt her stand up and then stand next to my father.

"Shamsel," I looked up at my father, his back still facing us, "Take your sisters and run."

To say I was shocked would be an understatement. I looked between mom and dad and then to my frightened siblings and then back to the man who remained in his spot, a smug look on his face.

"But..."

"Just go. Go and protect them as an older brother should."

I took a deep breath, letting the words and situation sink in to my mind. Slowly standing, I grabbed my sisters' hands and pulled them to their feet. The next thing I knew I was running with them in front of me towards the street.

"We love you, remember that," I could hear mom and dad shout as I ran, but I never stopped...I never looked back.

The road seemed so far away. After what seemed like an eternity, we made it to the road and made our way down the street. Why was this happening? Why now? Why to us? As we ran down the block, something poked from the back of mind. Where was everyone? It was then that I realized no one had come out to investigate the noise. There was no sounds of cars or birds or anything for that matter. What was going on?

I don't know what it was, but something brought me to a stop as I pulled my sisters in close. Next thing I knew the road in front of us exploded, showering asphalt and dirt everywhere. After a few seconds I looked up, making sure that they were alright.

"Tich...trying to avoid all the fun are we?"

That voice...I whip around and go wide-eyed as the strange man stands where the road exploded. How did he...? At that point, it didn't really matter how he got there, but rather that he WAS there. I grab my sisters and sprint off in the other direction, the small detail of him floating over the crater completely lost in the moment.

Running was all I could do at the moment, fueled by pure adrenaline and determination to protect my sisters. I didn't know where I was going, but taking a quick look around I found we had come back to in front of our house. Something was on the road up ahead. I couldn't tell what it was in the dark, but as we got closer...

I stopped dead in my tracks, quickly averting my sisters' eyes. No...it wasn't possible, right? This all just some kind of bad dream, right? As much as I wanted it to be, the bodies of my parents lying on the road in a pool of their own blood was very much reality. They had died to protect us...I had to get...

"Boo."

Jerking around I find myself staring at the stranger. Before I could do anything, he wraps his hand around my neck and lifts me off the ground. He was really strong. I desperately try to free myself, kicking and clawing at whatever I could reach as he laughed.

"Aw...how cute. Since those two didn't have it...that must mean one of you does."

'It'? What is 'it'? Behind me I could hear feet running on the road. They must be trying to get away Maybe if I can keep his focus on me...

Sharp screams catch my attention as I desperately try to see what happened. He couldn't have done anything to them! He was standing in the same spot holding onto me! Did he have a partner or something? A twin? As if to brag, he turns me so I can see behind me. This...wasn't possible. How could...this be?

"It's just a simple magic bind. Or are you just trying to feign your ignorance, owner of the Book of Darkness?"

Magic? Bind? Book of Darkness? What...what was going on? What was he talking about? Magic doesn't exist! But...I couldn't think of any other explanation at the time for the bands of light that held my sisters captive a few inches above the ground.

"Hmmm...perhaps I might just need to 'persuade' you to hand over the Book of Darkness..."

I let out a sharp gasp as I find myself bound in a similar manner. Is this...really magic? Or maybe some black-opts government technology? My thoughts are broken as I see the man walking over to Arael, the youngest sister. He extends his hand and a...a sword of some kind just materializes! What the HELL is going on here?!

"Such a waste of beauty..."

The sound of slitting flesh...of screams of horror...of blood dripping onto the road below. It was all so sudden. I could hear my other sister screaming and...is that me? Yes, I was also screaming. I struggled desperately against the bindings, trying to find some way of getting out. My eyes...I couldn't tear them away as I could only watch Arael's eyes widen in pure horror, her mouth open in a silent scream. And then...her binds giving way, letting her slump lifelessly onto the floor next to my parents.

"Well, guess she didn't have it. Next~"

I don't think I ever stopped screaming. My pleas were left unanswered as he stood in front of Armisael, sword still dripping crimson fluid from its tip. I don't know why I couldn't pull my eyes away or even close them. Maybe it was the shock of the whole situation or maybe it was some of his 'magic.' Whatever it was I could only watch and scream as he ran her through.

Tears? When had I started crying? They wouldn't stop coming...the tears and the screaming. My family was lying before me...dead. He turns to face me, sword poised and ready.

"And then there was one. I believe you have a saying here, 'third time's a charm.'"

Everyone became silent. Maybe I had lost my voice, but my screaming stopped as I stared at my soon to be killer. I had failed my parents. I promised to protect my sisters...to be the big brother and keep them safe. I failed...I failed them...to keep them safe...to protect them. The sword was thrust forward to wards me chest to end it all...

And I screamed.

----------------------------------
Shamsel bolted upright in bed, eyes wide in terror and mouth open in a silent scream. His breathing was raged and quick as his eyes slowly adjusted to the dim light of the room. Trying to calm himself down, he closes his eyes and takes deep breaths. His clothes were soaked in a cold sweat, some still dripping him his forehead...no it wasn't sweat. It was tears.

A quick glance at his clock showed it was 10 minutes before he usually awoke. The images...the sounds...the feelings were all still fresh in his mind. He brings his knees up to his chest and wraps his arms around them as he buries his face in his knees...

...and cries.

If someone had been there, the might have heard him silently mumbling to himself as the tear continued to come:

"I failed to protect you...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

The tears would continue to come until his morning alarm went off, signaling the start of a new day.

Whoa.

Talk about a shocking childhood... I assume that what happens next is roughly the same thing that made him transfer to the Rogues in the first place... mutilated corpses etc...

Good job on this.

Currently pegged at 12K words. I'm pondering whether to make it shorter by dropping off the mock battle scene between Nanoha and Leona versus Fate and Hayate. >_>

Bluecheese supply running low.

:heh: That's absoulelty crazy regardless.... I wish I could write like that.

I'll be looking forward to it! Although if you release it anytime soon I probably won't get back to you until about 1.5 weeks...exams *sigh*
*After reading 4 to 6 new pages of thread, falls down gasping for breath*

Is this the backlog you speak of? I've never seen a thread move so fast, except on 4chan! My god, am I expected to do this every day?
And this is just the weekend..:heh:

It can be much worse during the week...:uhoh:

Before I make the mistake of time warping/uber force-fields (which I don't really plan on), just specifically what kinds of spells are in the Nanoverse? I mean, other than the ones used in the anime. Are there some mentioned in the manga/novels/Sound Stages I don't know about? My knowledge of any sorcery comes from D&D, which is a horribly broken system in its own right (Stop time for 4 rounds while I can do almost whatever I please? YES PLZ.)
From what I've seen, there's not many other spells that have been mentioned. You'll have to do what the rest of us have done and make them up.

Although anything like that D&D spell above is going to be torn to pieces as soon as you mention it....:uhoh:

Or maybe if you have enough guts and FIGHTING SPIRIT along with the TRUE SPIRIT OF MEN you can achieve anything ;) .

Yare yare.... another hot-blooded indivdual..... Like we needed more in here:rolleyes: :p

Oh, oh, this reminds me. Do any planets in the Nanoverse have anything like planetary shielding? Not necessarily global, as that'd be kind of pointless, but like, shields over key areas? (Major cities/industrial complexes/etc.)

The only one that we've seen is the ground force HQ shield so it is possible.

No other examples from canon thus far... I don't think we're going to get many either. Since we don't even have info on half the stuff that's been mentioned..

This makes me wish that we had a technical manual on TSAB ships or something.

Alot of us do.... We've got next to no information about anything in the nanohaverse....

...This is kinda fun.
I'm making something for characters to be based off of. I haven't even gotten to the real characters yet! I could enjoy this ;)
Well as long as you're having fun thats the main thing :D

Thinking about what you've written before posting here is a good thing. The cries to burn you at the stake will quiet down a fair bit...:heh: Basically anything haxx or illogical is going to be shot down in flames (in most cases) Unless you have a really, really good reason for the haxx.

Time for me to get back to work :D

Welcome to the OC board. :p Don't worry, you'll get used to it. Or not.

If this thread makes me unfit for marriage, will you take me?
Wait wrong anime.

lol Time Stop is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to 9th Level spells. How about Apocalypse from the Sky, which does massive amounts of damage to everything within a one-hundred mile radius. Or Plague of Undead, which literally summons a horde of undead to fight for you. Reality Maelstrom rips a hole in the time-space continuum and sucks everything in. Black Blade of Disaster makes Bardiche's Zamber form look like a scalpel.

But I digress. Like I said, D&D wizards are way overpowered to begin with.

Yare yare.... another hot-blooded indivdual..... Like we needed more in here:rolleyes: :p

THERE'S NEVER ENOUGH HOT BLOOD!

The only one that we've seen is the ground force HQ shield so it is possible.

That would be an interesting fan-project though: "The Time-Space Administration Bureau Technical Manual."

I'll get better over time. It took me five tries to get Evangelion right, so I suspect that it'll take me a little while to get the Nanoverse down.

Based on the fact that she's a Japanese citizen born and living under their laws on their territory since birth.

That's deontological. Utilitarian will also account for the amount of Good Nanoha could do on Earth (pretty ordinary, another worker ... etc) versus the amount of good she can do in the TSAB (lots, approximately a 10 Order of Magnitude difference).

Ark, I just knew you were going to say something like that. Who has the "right" to call upon the services of a citizen of a nation? The government of that nation or some government that has no juristriction over that territory? You can argue benefits all you want, but such actions show utter disrespect to national boundaries. They've led to wars in the past, as you have correctly stated, and are unacceptable behaviour for nations.

So...much...backlog :eyespin:

Been trying to figure out how to do a post like this for a while and I finally got a good idea :). Takes place after Early Reflections (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1210382&postcount=13399).


"Sham~"

I looked up from my comfortable position on the couch over at the kitchen. Through the door I could see my mother smiling at me as she was doing the dishes after dinner. She didn't have to say another word as I immediately knew what she wanted. With a silent sigh, I roll off the couch and maneuver my way around my two sisters to go wipe the dishes. Sometimes I wonder why I have to do so many chores around the house while my sisters can just sit around and watch TV. Of course, the answer is always the same:

"You're the oldest and need to set a good example for your sisters. Plus you need to learn some responsibilities."

Even though that's why mom and dad tell me, I can't help but wonder if it's really because they like the free labor, a.k.a. their son. As I helped with the dishes, I couldn't help but glance out the kitchen window at the evening sky. Dinner tonight was a bit later than usual since dad was working late on some big engineering project at work. What it was, he really couldn't say. If it's anything like the other things I've seen him help make, it's gonna be very cool.

With the dishes washed, dried, and put neatly away I hang up the damp towel and flop back down on my original spot on the couch. Mom came in a short while later with her papers from work that she needed to finish. Dad was on the other end of the couch reading the paper for the day. My two sisters, Arael and Armisael, were on the floor watching some cartoon on the TV. I don't really pay much attention to what they watch nowadays as I don't find those shows as interesting anymore. Now anime, that's something completely different. That reminds me...I need to get a copy of that newer series from my friends when I see them at school.

CRASH

I instinctively dove of the couch as the window behind me shattered. My sisters screamed, diving for cover next to me at the base of the couch. What the hell was that? Some punks on a drive-by?

Lifting my head up, I took a quick survey around to try and find out what it was that went through the window. Besides all the shattered glass I couldn't see anything. The TV was black, but no damage to the screen. Huh...when did they turn it off?

"Come out, come out where ever you are~"

My parents were instantly on their feet and peering out the window. Apparently whoever it was that broke the window was still outside. I picked up my sisters and pulled them away from the couch towards the kitchen as I saw my mother heading for the phone and dialing for who I presume was 911.

"What do you want? Who are you?" I could hear my dad shouting out the window.

"You know what I want."

Turning my head I could see mom slamming the phone back on the cradle. The phone lines are dead? Just who is this guy? We don't have anything of real value in here...

My thoughts are broken as I feel my mother grabbing my arm and ushering us towards the rear door of the house. Like most houses here, ours had a door that lead out into the backyard. Made it so much easier to get outside than having to go out the front and all the way around the house. Rushing into to the backyard, I presumed we were going to cut through the neighbor's yard to get away. At least, that was until we saw a figure blocking out intended path of escape.

"Ah, I don't think so."

That voice...if was the same guy from outside! But how did he know we were going out here? How did he even get here so fast? I could feel my mother holding us protectively as she stared him down. He was an odd-looking man, maybe around my parent's age with his black hair pulled back into a ponytail. What got my attention was his clothes. It was...odd. Long pants with boots and some kinda cape attached to the waist. His jacket wasn't closed, exposing his chest and there was some kind of armor on his shoulders and wrists. Some kind of new clothing style or something? Or maybe some cosplayer on drugs?

Behind us, I heard my dad run out the door and stand between us and him. He held two broom handles in his hands, tossing one to my mother. I felt her stand up and then stand next to my father.

"Shamsel," I looked up at my father, his back still facing us, "Take your sisters and run."

To say I was shocked would be an understatement. I looked between mom and dad and then to my frightened siblings and then back to the man who remained in his spot, a smug look on his face.

"But..."

"Just go. Go and protect them as an older brother should."

I took a deep breath, letting the words and situation sink in to my mind. Slowly standing, I grabbed my sisters' hands and pulled them to their feet. The next thing I knew I was running with them in front of me towards the street.

"We love you, remember that," I could hear mom and dad shout as I ran, but I never stopped...I never looked back.

The road seemed so far away. After what seemed like an eternity, we made it to the road and made our way down the street. Why was this happening? Why now? Why to us? As we ran down the block, something poked from the back of mind. Where was everyone? It was then that I realized no one had come out to investigate the noise. There was no sounds of cars or birds or anything for that matter. What was going on?

I don't know what it was, but something brought me to a stop as I pulled my sisters in close. Next thing I knew the road in front of us exploded, showering asphalt and dirt everywhere. After a few seconds I looked up, making sure that they were alright.

"Tich...trying to avoid all the fun are we?"

That voice...I whip around and go wide-eyed as the strange man stands where the road exploded. How did he...? At that point, it didn't really matter how he got there, but rather that he WAS there. I grab my sisters and sprint off in the other direction, the small detail of him floating over the crater completely lost in the moment.

Running was all I could do at the moment, fueled by pure adrenaline and determination to protect my sisters. I didn't know where I was going, but taking a quick look around I found we had come back to in front of our house. Something was on the road up ahead. I couldn't tell what it was in the dark, but as we got closer...

I stopped dead in my tracks, quickly averting my sisters' eyes. No...it wasn't possible, right? This all just some kind of bad dream, right? As much as I wanted it to be, the bodies of my parents lying on the road in a pool of their own blood was very much reality. They had died to protect us...I had to get...

"Boo."

Jerking around I find myself staring at the stranger. Before I could do anything, he wraps his hand around my neck and lifts me off the ground. He was really strong. I desperately try to free myself, kicking and clawing at whatever I could reach as he laughed.

"Aw...how cute. Since those two didn't have it...that must mean one of you does."

'It'? What is 'it'? Behind me I could hear feet running on the road. They must be trying to get away Maybe if I can keep his focus on me...

Sharp screams catch my attention as I desperately try to see what happened. He couldn't have done anything to them! He was standing in the same spot holding onto me! Did he have a partner or something? A twin? As if to brag, he turns me so I can see behind me. This...wasn't possible. How could...this be?

"It's just a simple magic bind. Or are you just trying to feign your ignorance, owner of the Book of Darkness?"

Magic? Bind? Book of Darkness? What...what was going on? What was he talking about? Magic doesn't exist! But...I couldn't think of any other explanation at the time for the bands of light that held my sisters captive a few inches above the ground.

"Hmmm...perhaps I might just need to 'persuade' you to hand over the Book of Darkness..."

I let out a sharp gasp as I find myself bound in a similar manner. Is this...really magic? Or maybe some black-opts government technology? My thoughts are broken as I see the man walking over to Arael, the youngest sister. He extends his hand and a...a sword of some kind just materializes! What the HELL is going on here?!

"Such a waste of beauty..."

The sound of slitting flesh...of screams of horror...of blood dripping onto the road below. It was all so sudden. I could hear my other sister screaming and...is that me? Yes, I was also screaming. I struggled desperately against the bindings, trying to find some way of getting out. My eyes...I couldn't tear them away as I could only watch Arael's eyes widen in pure horror, her mouth open in a silent scream. And then...her binds giving way, letting her slump lifelessly onto the floor next to my parents.

"Well, guess she didn't have it. Next~"

I don't think I ever stopped screaming. My pleas were left unanswered as he stood in front of Armisael, sword still dripping crimson fluid from its tip. I don't know why I couldn't pull my eyes away or even close them. Maybe it was the shock of the whole situation or maybe it was some of his 'magic.' Whatever it was I could only watch and scream as he ran her through.

Tears? When had I started crying? They wouldn't stop coming...the tears and the screaming. My family was lying before me...dead. He turns to face me, sword poised and ready.

"And then there was one. I believe you have a saying here, 'third time's a charm.'"

Everyone became silent. Maybe I had lost my voice, but my screaming stopped as I stared at my soon to be killer. I had failed my parents. I promised to protect my sisters...to be the big brother and keep them safe. I failed...I failed them...to keep them safe...to protect them. The sword was thrust forward to wards me chest to end it all...

And I screamed.

----------------------------------
Shamsel bolted upright in bed, eyes wide in terror and mouth open in a silent scream. His breathing was raged and quick as his eyes slowly adjusted to the dim light of the room. Trying to calm himself down, he closes his eyes and takes deep breaths. His clothes were soaked in a cold sweat, some still dripping him his forehead...no it wasn't sweat. It was tears.

A quick glance at his clock showed it was 10 minutes before he usually awoke. The images...the sounds...the feelings were all still fresh in his mind. He brings his knees up to his chest and wraps his arms around them as he buries his face in his knees...

...and cries.

If someone had been there, the might have heard him silently mumbling to himself as the tear continued to come:

"I failed to protect you...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

The tears would continue to come until his morning alarm went off, signaling the start of a new day.


So Shamsel had a backstory like this. Very well then. :nod:



Uh, "it"?

[size=1]I have the strangest feeling when I said that ...[/size

That wouldn't be too far off I suppose. :heh:


Question at Chaos:

Might be wrong here but the Stain program is merely a offshoot of Sipher with him being the master program right? Would Sipher have the ability to override those with the Stain inside them at any time?


Oi, oi, I'm not a serial murderer. :heh:

Creation, not creator. ;)


Tormenk IS: Perfect Confusion

Makes me kind of sad my ability to confuse people overtakes that of my specialty. :heh:



What the ...

DOES NOT COMPUTE! :eyespin::eyespin:

Oh yes it does. :D

At least in Seto no Hanayome where a father does that to understand his daughter. :heh:



Currently pegged at 12K words. I'm pondering whether to make it shorter by dropping off the mock battle scene between Nanoha and Leona versus Fate and Hayate. >_>

The mock fight between these four sounds interesting enough but it's your call. :)


Another questionnaire! :D

Here's for Leona.


Mental or physical?
Mental.
Pain or pleasure?
Neither.
What’s your strength/specialization?
The mind.
Swords or guns?
Swords.
Ever tire of anything?
Not really, life is too short to tire of it.
Any terrible experience in the past or dark secrets?
Plenty. And don't ask.
Did anything that haunts you until now?
Yes.
Made any promises? If yes, what was the promise?
Some, and you just have to ask, don't you? Not telling.
What would you give to protect those around you?
My life.
Any commitments in life?
None so far, but one imminent.
Reliant on any person/people?
Mostly myself.
Closest person to you? Who?
I, me, myself. Isn't that obvious? *rolls eyes*
Abandoned anyone?
Yes.
Hurt anyone before?
Yes.
Hurt by anyone before?
Yes.
Made any choices you wish you could change now?
No, I believe in the choices I make, even if it means hurting others.
Lost anything precious?
Yes.
One life for another?
If possible, no.
Would you kill anything that threatens the lives of your family and friends?
If possible, no.
Killed any people close to you by your own hand?
... Yes.
Any final thoughts?
Your questions are too difficult to answer now. Just read the story and you'll know.

Since the questions are so dark, Leona cannot answer truthfully, or she'll spoil the entire thing. :mad:

You did this on purpose, didn't you, Grinder?!

Looks like Leona and Katrina has something in common. :hmm:

Yessss dark they are. :D While not on purpose, the questions in this list is predisposed towards drawing out the vulnerabilities the character answering them has. Courtesy of Grinder and his kitten. :D

Yeah, I'm not touching that topic with a 10-foot rusty halberd.

Yes this is Backlog-tan, Saya. :D

Ark, I just knew you were going to say something like that. Who has the "right" to call upon the services of a citizen of a nation? The government of that nation or some government that has no juristriction over that territory? You can argue benefits all you want, but such actions show utter disrespect to national boundaries. They've led to wars in the past, as you have correctly stated, and are unacceptable behaviour for nations. So basically you’re saying that the right to impress someone into the service of the state is based on “dibs”?:eyebrow:

Though even this is debatable sovereignty as we know it is based on being recognized as sovereign by other states. If the TSAB doesn’t recognize Japan (and it has little reason too) they might basically consider even non-administered worlds inside their space to still be their property. This is pretty much how the Federation in Trek seems to work for instance they’ve claimed a huge swath of space as “theirs”, but haven’t actually totally exploded never mind integrated the planets inside it into the Federation, which hasn’t stopped them from fucking with said planets when they feel like it…

Really TSAB basically controls the planet she lives on, oh sure you can get technical about it but fact is the TSAB could rule the earth in a second if it wanted too AND it’s protected it from outside threats before (incompetent or not earth could well have been destroyed, twice, if not for their intervention). So who’s to say that according to its laws it’s claim on any interesting individuals on a planet overrides that of any local government? Well actually it obviously dose and from a legal standpoint it’s not even an impossible position to defend at all.

This is allot like the debate of how "sovereign" the states in the United States are, in theory they're all supposed to be little countries unto themselves, in practice that ain't how it works. Also it maybe "unacceptable" now maybe, but it was SOP a few centuries ago shit it was common even at the turn of the century (see US army rolling on into Mexico when some bandits pissed us off) all these big shit storms over sovereignty and "international" law are a recent thing and pretty stupid anyway as anyone with power dose what they want and bullies people other people around (just like they've always done) anyway so it's all basically a joke.

Keroko
2007-11-04, 05:46
I won't defend that if it's true it totally self serving and immoral, but I wasn't even really purposing that, so much as drafting off Administered worlds, but even with that Keroko seemed to react rather negatively to the idea of ANY drafting going on.

Not really, I'm just using the non-drafted Mid-Childans as examples of contradictions to drafting being canon. My real gripes are two things:

1. The drafting of mages on non-administered planets. These planets are called non-administered for a reason, the TSAB has no authority over these planets. Though really, even StrikerS shows contradiction to drafting in general, as Subaru and Ginga had also been given a choice.

2. The canonality of the novel. The novel has shown itself to directly contradict and alter canon. The argument of it being the most 'recent' source became redundant when it was shown that StrikerS still uses the anime as its canon source. Anime, manga and soundtages are intertwined, and so far have not yet conflicted with one another. The novel has directly conflicted with the anime. Am I to believe a single story that is pretty much a 'what if' story compared to three other sources?

So...much...backlog :eyespin:

Magic? Bind? Book of Darkness? What...what was going on? What was he talking about? Magic doesn't exist! But...I couldn't think of any other explanation at the time for the bands of light that held my sisters captive a few inches above the ground.

"Hmmm...perhaps I might just need to 'persuade' you to hand over the Book of Darkness..."

I let out a sharp gasp as I find myself bound in a similar manner. Is this...really magic? Or maybe some black-opts government technology? My thoughts are broken as I see the man walking over to Arael, the youngest sister. He extends his hand and a...a sword of some kind just materializes! What the HELL is going on here?!

"Such a waste of beauty..."

The sound of slitting flesh...of screams of horror...of blood dripping onto the road below. It was all so sudden. I could hear my other sister screaming and...is that me? Yes, I was also screaming. I struggled desperately against the bindings, trying to find some way of getting out. My eyes...I couldn't tear them away as I could only watch Arael's eyes widen in pure horror, her mouth open in a silent scream. And then...her binds giving way, letting her slump lifelessly onto the floor next to my parents.

"Well, guess she didn't have it. Next~"

I don't think I ever stopped screaming. My pleas were left unanswered as he stood in front of Armisael, sword still dripping crimson fluid from its tip. I don't know why I couldn't pull my eyes away or even close them. Maybe it was the shock of the whole situation or maybe it was some of his 'magic.' Whatever it was I could only watch and scream as he ran her through.

Tears? When had I started crying? They wouldn't stop coming...the tears and the screaming. My family was lying before me...dead. He turns to face me, sword poised and ready.

"And then there was one. I believe you have a saying here, 'third time's a charm.'"

Everyone became silent. Maybe I had lost my voice, but my screaming stopped as I stared at my soon to be killer. I had failed my parents. I promised to protect my sisters...to be the big brother and keep them safe. I failed...I failed them...to keep them safe...to protect them. The sword was thrust forward to wards me chest to end it all...

And I screamed.

----------------------------------
Shamsel bolted upright in bed, eyes wide in terror and mouth open in a silent scream. His breathing was raged and quick as his eyes slowly adjusted to the dim light of the room. Trying to calm himself down, he closes his eyes and takes deep breaths. His clothes were soaked in a cold sweat, some still dripping him his forehead...no it wasn't sweat. It was tears.

A quick glance at his clock showed it was 10 minutes before he usually awoke. The images...the sounds...the feelings were all still fresh in his mind. He brings his knees up to his chest and wraps his arms around them as he buries his face in his knees...

...and cries.

If someone had been there, the might have heard him silently mumbling to himself as the tear continued to come:

"I failed to protect you...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

The tears would continue to come until his morning alarm went off, signaling the start of a new day.


Tragic past, huh? So how was he saved?

Ark, I just knew you were going to say something like that. Who has the "right" to call upon the services of a citizen of a nation? The government of that nation or some government that has no juristriction over that territory? You can argue benefits all you want, but such actions show utter disrespect to national boundaries. They've led to wars in the past, as you have correctly stated, and are unacceptable behaviour for nations.

You are still arguing deontologically, but deontology as actually practiced varies with time, as Tk3997 points out even as little as 100 years ago it was basically still Might makes Right.

At least this time, they'd have Utilitarian ethics tilting decisively to one side to base their decisions on, which is a lot more than could be said for most Might makes Right scenarios.When we look back, I believe we'd consider WWII and the Cold War to have been a good thing for humankind. Between the horrors of WWII and the threat of nuclear holocaust in a Bipolar World lock, countries have become a lot less mutually aggressive. By the time the world managed to return to a more unipolar state (with America as its undisputed leader), the moral Zeitgeist had changed.The United Federation of Planets at least lives in a multipolar world (Klingons, Romulans and Cardassians in AQ alone) that forces it to have some mutual respect for somebody. The TSAB lives in a unipolar world for at least the past 75 years. Why would it write laws or even have moral beliefs accepting other powers as its equal?
Not really, I'm just using the non-drafted Mid-Childans as examples of contradictions to drafting being canon. My real gripes are two things:

1. The drafting of mages on non-administered planets. These planets are called non-administered for a reason, the TSAB has no authority over these planets. Though really, even StrikerS shows contradiction to drafting in general, as Subaru and Ginga had also been given a choice.

You will notice they weren't 18, and thus had already volunteered before the issue can be decided. Besides, I won't be conscripting Subaru unless I was doing Universal Military Service and everyone has to join. She will probably have learnt no magic if not for being saved for Nanoha.

Second, think of the very term "non-administered planet" 未管理世界 for a moment. Can you see the very Hubris of the term? The TSAB does not "have no authority over these planets", at least according to its mind. It just doesn't bother to administer it for its own reasons - on a whim, it can become "administered".

Frankly, though considering their military incompetence, their only way to easily turn Earth into an Administered World would be to threaten destruction with Arcenciel.

2. The canonality of the novel. The novel has shown itself to directly contradict and alter canon. The argument of it being the most 'recent' source became redundant when it was shown that StrikerS still uses the anime as its canon source. Anime, manga and soundtages are intertwined, and so far have not yet conflicted with one another. The novel has directly conflicted with the anime. Am I to believe a single story that is pretty much a 'what if' story compared to three other sources?

Really ... the only real link to the 1st season in StrikerS was a scene of a Starlight Breaker, which fits both versions very well. IIRC no one explicitly tagged the fight to which it belonged. Further, see also all other arguments. You excise parts of clear direct contradiction and retain all other parts. Standard procedure for analysis.

Don't worry. Take your time - I have no plans on going anywhere.

And Aurion + Female = Bind is generally true... though Mel's not been subjected to it. Though it's probably best that it never happens; she'd probably overload all males present w/HELPLESS MOE a la Ninomiya-kun's Mayu.

You make it sound like it happens all the everytime Aurion interacts with females...:heh: C'mon! It was like this!

Hayate = Mind Game.:D
Almaria & Signum = Mock Battle. To win.

Satty's female OC's = "Don't disturb me while I use some serious mindf**k on Vincent.":heh:

Though I am curious about what do you mean by this helpless MOE bit.:confused: I know helplessness can be considered MOE by itself, but is what you mentioned some sort of upgrade? Can you explain?:heh:

Wow... Thanks!:D:D:D

Currently pegged at 12K words. I'm pondering whether to make it shorter by dropping off the mock battle scene between Nanoha and Leona versus Fate and Hayate. >_>

Hayate&Fate vs. Nanoha&Leona mock battle?!?!:eek

WANT!!!:D:D:D

@ Thread...

all this talk about the military must not continue any longer... if you wanted, go to the appropriate thread- not here in the OC.

Nah... The current matter about TSAB policies on recruitment has relevant applications on several works here in the OC thread. I don't really think it's doing any harm.

BTW, I'll read the previews later.:heh:

If anything, it should look very similar to this...

Just replace the skirt with cyclings. I don't know what gives everyone the impression of ZTS there...:heh:

Anyway, good details on the overalls. Though now that I look at it, I've noticed that everyone here while list the level of attack and all for their spells, don't exactly list the spell level on its own standard overall. :heh:

Yeah.:D Though I think I should be slowing down the casting time of some of her spells.:heh:

More bluecheese! :eek: Looks like you've kept yourself busy, unlike me who's taking periodic breaks from writing. :heh:

*After reading 4 to 6 new pages of thread, falls down gasping for breath*

Is this the backlog you speak of? I've never seen a thread move so fast, except on 4chan! My god, am I expected to do this every day?This is pretty fast for a weekend although it varies day to day depends on if the thread catches a tangent then it can explode or it can just slowly creep along, you learn to skim it for the good stuff after awhile.

*Stares at argument about conscription*

Yeah, I'm not touching that topic with a 10-foot rusty halberd. Ahh but it's fun! Well suit yourself!


Before I make the mistake of time warping/uber force-fields (which I don't really plan on), just specifically what kinds of spells are in the Nanoverse? I mean, other than the ones used in the anime. Are there some mentioned in the manga/novels/Sound Stages I don't know about? My knowledge of any sorcery comes from D&D, which is a horribly broken system in its own right (Stop time for 4 rounds while I can do almost whatever I please? YES PLZ.)
These are the guidelines I work under, others bend and break these nearly at will sometimes though, I tend to let a bit slide if it’s only in one area though and not to outrageous.

I start out with stuff I think is pretty much impossible:
-Time manipulation of any kind is out IMO it’s just never shown or even hinted at in anything so far as I know.
-Ploymorphing, magic illusions to make you or objects look different are seen, but I don’t think turning people into toads physically would fit AT ALL.
-Resurrection of ANY kind IMO Nanoha magic is too realistic to allow raising the dead.

Now we get into a subject that’s a bit nebulous mental magic:
-We have some sort of “telepathy”, but what exactly that is, is debatable as it basiclly just seems to be used as skull phone, higher level mental magic’s like forceful mind reading or memory manipulation is basiclly unsupported IMO.

Next up we have stuff that’s possible but more limited then in many magic settings:
-Really, really fast super speed, speed boosts are seen, but I don’t think mages dodging bullets or moving like the Flash would fit.
-Healing is again seen, but your average “zap away dozens of bullet and stab wounds” isn’t we still see hospitals and slings and talk of recovery times so healing magic is clearly limited.

On a final note we never really see a spell do much more damage then a few aircraft bombs many do far, far less any spell that gets into the “take out entire city blocks or small towns” range is already pushing into the too much range any mention of “nuclear” in relation to a power level will result in a savage mauling by me at least.



I have allot more, but those are some pretty good rough ones.

Well to be honest that's something that's kinda stuck with me. My dad shoved Star Wars down my throat when I was six, and so the concept of "Rebels vs. Empire" really stuck with me. *headdesk* Even though everyone and their brother will probably say the Empire should have won, they didn't. Being bigger apparently really is a disadvantage in war *shrug*.

Or maybe if you have enough guts and FIGHTING SPIRIT along with the TRUE SPIRIT OF MEN you can achieve anything ;) .
Well the problem was the Emperor was a dolt… “I have a cunning plan! I’ll use myself, the only thing holding the entire state together, as bait in a trap for the majority of my enemies forces!”

“Brilliant sir! Should I call up 500 Star Destroy for the operation and 10,000 stormtroopers?”

“No you fool call JUST enough ships to stalemate the rebels and only a pittance of troops that can be easily overpowered by a small commado team!”

Even despite that he STILL might have won if not for a bunch of freaking teddy bears… Of coruse after the movie we then get the New Republic which has like government character shields. No matter how ragingly incompetent it is nothing can seem to topple it; because the good guys are part of it. Acutally at times it seems like a group of about 30 to 40 people is the only thing holding together a government that spans possibly millions of worlds…

That said the “small underdog group defeats huge empire” trope is done to death in both fantasy and Sci-fi and mostly makes me role my eyes now. Another reason I liked Nanoha’s setting the heroes now pretty much WORK for the huge empire.


Oh, oh, this reminds me. Do any planets in the Nanoverse have anything like planetary shielding? Not necessarily global, as that'd be kind of pointless, but like, shields over key areas? (Major cities/industrial complexes/etc.) As mentioned the HQ seems to have some sort of shield I wouldn’t have much issue with fairly strong shields over important faculties, but I don’t think any kind of “planetary shield grid” would fit the setting and I think those shields could be bombed down with a focused unopposed barrage by a small fleet.

Actually as soon as I saw the beginning of this part the first thing that hit me was "oh fuck no pilots/fuel. Durrhurr."
It just so how very much can go wrong when trying to do stuff like this.


I still think reverse-engineering to some degree is possible when presented with some advanced technology. In this case, maybe I could further advance their tech and give them some form of space travel within the system? That'd provide the basic understanding, wouldn't it? Or no?Would work better perhaps or perhaps not, if TSAB space travel is based on Magi-tech the principle could still be totally alien to people using actual somewhat realistic space travel tech. Then again the idea of an actual war between planets that amounts to anything besides "Gain control of orbit and start dropping nukes" would be hard fathom as well... An actual planetary invasion tends to require science fictionally efficient space travel tech or totally fictional systems.



I actually have no real comment except this:

You dare insult the F-14?! DIE DIE DIE! F-14 > *.
(Pretentious conceited F-14 fan -_-)
I actually meant they’d probably only be able to build something that was sort of like an F-14, but inferior to the original even with decades of research.

That said the F-14 had issues it wasn’t a terrible plane, but it was a hanger queen extraordinaire and a total beast on the maintenance crews, and it had problems with engines early on though upgrades mostly sorted that. Still it was awfully complex for what it was meant too do and modern fly by wire aircraft that are actively unstable have defeated much of the point of variable geometry wings, they where a solution to a passing problem and the weight penalties from them defeat allot of the “advantages” even before the above system appeared.

The F-15 was and is IMO a better aircraft simpler, just as effective, and more adaptable while the F-14 was morphed into a so-so bomber with upgrades the F-15E is flat out better at the job, not least because it can carry stuff on its wings. You need only look at foreign sales to see that, even the F-18 sold better then the 14 as did the F-15 and the 16... well that dosen't bear mentioning.


It WAS cool, but as is often the case with such things it was a bit inefficient too.


This is something else that got me thinking of raising their tech levels. And then instead of a global civil war you'd have an interplanetary civil war *evil grin.*
that would require a rather high tech level actually probably centuries ahead of our own, it's your plot just consider that fact and interplanetary war is going to demand huge advacnes in many areas, and might not even be realistically feasible without sci-fi tech.

True... well, how about this: a literate society that's on the verge of global economic collapse because of a sustained global or interplanetary war? Place the system out far enough (I think Lowegear or someone suggested 200 days travel in modern TSAB times). The Ramza incident occurs, slightly more advanced planet pwns the other habitable planet, and so on.It works to a point, but I just find the entire idea of a much lower tech power acutally being able to attack and disable a TSAB warship before it either flees or simply crushes them pretty unlikely frankly. Them finding a drifting wreck in local space and with massive effort salvaging valuable tech from it I can buy or it making a barely controlled crash landing on a planet after taking heavy damage, but them acutally shooting it down seems like a huge stretch with any kind of near future tech given that the TSAB navy is working quite literally with “magi-tech”.


Mm, well, it was just an idea. If I do incorporate the idea of inter-system fleets, then maybe the incident could occur in a different method. Thoughts?The problem is any semi-realistic spaceship still wouldn't have the kind of properties we see in TSAB naval vessels, accelration still being the killer the TSAB has artificial gravity and so quite possible inertial dampers and can move from the surface of a planet into orbit easily, that isn't easy at all more so for something so big. Basically any ship that could catch and effectively attack a TSAB vessle would already be well into the sci-fi zone and probably close to them in tech level making the worth of the vessel itself suspect...


In the long run, yes. I was trying to put it in context to what was going on. Nowadays the F-15 is getting up in its years, but it can still off most of what its up against. I mean, we're not planning on going to war with nations that have Typoons, Flankers, and Viper Zero's.
Acutally Flankers are so prolific that small African countries have them besides you ought not to build for the last war; you build for the next one. Admittedly figuring out what the next one will look like can be a bitch… Also modern fighter have such long developments times that you need to plans decades ahead since if you wait until you need them you’ll never get them up in time


To be honest, I've always seen advanced railgun technology occurring before laser weaponry would be viable.
You’ll probably lose that bet, laser weapons are already in testing and advances in solid state models promise even better outputs and smaller size. In fact one nearly made it to production, THEL (Tactical High Energy Laser) shot down mortars and artillery rockets in live fire testing, that’s arguably already weapons grade. Popular science had a nice article about it in one of their issues last year.

Maybe the captain made an error in judgment and ended up within sensor range? Or the computer's calculations were off slightly, not accounting for probability or some such (example: if sensor systems orbit the planet, they maybe the computer did not anticipate a subtle gravitational shift due to the planet's rotation etc etc. Like the space version of the Butterfly Effect. From what I understand, this occurs all the time.He'd have to pop out damn near on top of them for them to attack him and the first thing he's going to do when he see he's so close is start backing off, it's rather more likely he'll be able to issue that command before anyone on the ground sees, identifies (or fails too) the contact, deliberates on what to do, and decides to fire on it. Given the speed a TSAB ship probably has it could be well outside the range of any engagement by then and if his vector was out bound to start with even IF some weapon caught up and hit him he'd continue on that course (this being space) not somehow fall out of the sky into the planet.

This makes me wish that we had a technical manual on TSAB ships or something. It has it’s ups and downs on the one hand it gives us authors more freedom, on the other hand it gives us authors more freedom… A good author can use that ambiguity to bring in interesting concepts and explore them in a rational interesting way; a hack can use a lack of set limits to run roughshod over common sense, logic, and reason in a wank riddled piece of crap with precious little solid evidence to be used to rein them in.

That’s the problem with freedom in general really it frees stupid people to be stupid.


...oh wow. I forgot about things like Impact Explosions. Jesus wtf is wrong with me. *headdesk* My apologies. Maybe this space-angle would be more viable?
Yeah that’s a pretty common issue in allot of sci-fi huge ass star ships crashing down or into stuff often just seem to dig a trench and not much else when they land…

Macross is good one to look at to see it done right when the SDF-1 crashes its HUGE the shockwave from its passing levels buildings (which it would) and the blast when it impacts is visible from most of the hemisphere. Of coruse it goes with a wildly unlikely scenario of it impacting into the shallow water around some tiny little inland in the pacific this thus side stepping the global dust cloud that ought to have happened(while making it easy to recover). I can’t recall on tsunamis, but I think they did happen. Anyway it was clearly a mega disaster of the first order which any large scale space craft crashing uncontrolled onto a planet would be.

The average sci-fi warship is effectively the size of a country buster asteroid some of the bigger ones are almost continent busters. Acutally ships might well be MORE dangerous then an asteroid of the same size. Most asteroids are now thought to be pretty much gravel piles loosely held together by gravity more like a dirt clod then a stone, but a ship would likely be made almost totally out of heavy solid metals AND probably armored externally against thermal energy (as most ray guns would use heating to do their damage). This means more of it is likely to make it to the ground, add in a radioactive or good forbid unstable anti-matter (or technobabble) power source and you’ve got the makings of one hell of disaster on the ground below a major orbital battle.


Gomen, gomen, in a lot of those cases you were right, and a little research would have gone a long way.
Eh nothing that bad you said some stuff I said it was wrong because of X and we move on to fixing it. Like I said I have no issue with people that say something wrong, but seem willing to try and correct it. I actually tolerate it more here as allot of is ambiguous and large amounts of info can't be easily tracked down so it often is faster to just ask.


Then cut the number by 2/3 or 3/4? What would be considered a high number but not a hax number?
I personally think more then 15 to 20% would be pushing it.


The thing is that if the Jewel Seed incident was soooo important (Lost Logia, Precia, Project Fate, etc. etc.), I think they could have mobilized two ships rather than one.

Part of me just thinks it was stuff the writers didn't think about at the time.Well one possibility is simply that it didn't seem that important at first or that they didn't even know about it for awhile. They seem to have been drawn in to investigate after it was underway and it escalated quickly and they just couldn't get more ships to the scene before it was concluded.


I agree. In any event, it was stuff like this that makes me think the TSAB can be really crappy about sending what where to do whatever. Some of this was Graham, but I think some of it was shitty planning.
More force would have helped, but it seems acutally fairly likely they'd have won fairly quickly if he hadn't interfered. You also can't just send EVERYTHING at any problem ideally you want enough to win by a comfortable margin, but no more. Before he interfered they seemed to have that force ratio the Knights appeared to be pretty much on the ropes in the very first engagement for instance.

Or maybe it was overconfidence that Chrono/Fate/Nanoha could do it.Acutally somewhat justified given their freakish power level, and Yunno and Arf aren't any kind of slouches either I say again if Graham dosen't butt in it's entirely possibly they beat the Knights in Ep.5 and the entire thing is over.

But then, I didn't think Nanoha was officially part of the TSAB yet? Granted, she had helped them in the past, but IMO an organization would be foolish to immediately trust someone that powerful, on an unadministered world, as to let them go off and do whatever. If Fate could be pretty much brainwashed by Precia (granted, it had probably been going on since Fate's creation) that easy at that early of and age, then safe to say the same could have been done to Nanoha. That wasn’t really brain washing it was misplaced and undeserved loyalty. Children will do some pretty terrible things to try and please their parents, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard of parents using their children to help them steal stuff for instance. She was a terrible parent, but she was still Fate’s “mother” and that’s an extremely powerful psychological bond that even truly stunning levels abuse can have difficultly breaking. (I’ve heard of stuff that makes what she did seem positively ‘meh’, emersion into bathtubs or sinks full of scolding hot water is a particularly sickening one, ever seen a boiled ham?)

Also the entire incident was basiclly kicked off with them brutally assaulting her; she probably would have helped if for no other reason then good old fashion pay back. In fact keeping her away would probably have been harder!


So it's possible, however, very unlikely, that Belka was a planet? Got it.
Very, very unlikely IMO.


This isn't a bad thing. Like I said, I could be a whiny bitch about it, but then, nothing would get done.That's the right way to look at it IMO.



lol this is actually a good reimage of my old idea.

But it got me to thinking about something else too. What if this star system was one subjugated by the TSAB? As with all galactic (or part galactic) governments, I'm sure no one went peacefully. Maybe this system just would not stop harrassing the TSAB so they finally went "Oh fuck it" and pwnd the shit out of them. This would lead to further resentment to the TSAB, but it'd also give me a more viable reason for the Order of Freelance Mage's existence: Erusian mages loyal to the TSAB, not to their homeworld.Either works I made a planet that has some of those elements though it joined largely by choice it still has some subtle dissidence going on.


...This is kinda fun.
I'm making something for characters to be based off of. I haven't even gotten to the real characters yet! I could enjoy this ;)Well that is the point of all this, I do find just debating and coming up with background and theories one of the more enjoyable aspect of the entire process myself.

C2F'S next Harem list, targetting them in order from top to bottom



OI OI! That's not it! It's the new list for the Blood Market!

But that doesn't matter! The point IS-!!!


... It's not from top to bottom.


Now when did I say that? ;)


That's the proverbial green-light to go wild if I've ever seen one :p



:confused::heh:

BTW, that part about the real Erio getting revived as Nero idea is pretty cool.:D


One of my better stroke of genius...

And rather than revive... A better use is re-used :p



Well, I have Mel...

<pauses> Tsundere? No. Dojikko? Kinda, but not really? MILF? Definitely not. Yamato Nadeshiko? Not even Earthling...

She looks great in a swimsuit...

Oh-Hooo~ :D ?


... On second thoughts nevermind <.< Not my type... >.>


Sure.

Starfire's probably my favorite - her version of English is just too funny.

:heh:


Mel Yoshitaka.

She's probably the best looking, and definitely the most racked out of the current list.

Heh, sure sure... Why not? if you say so... :p :p :p :p :p

01. Keroko (Keroko >.>)

I can extend to 12 if there's not enough space...



Uh, "it"?

I have the strangest feeling when I said that ...


Yes... Soon, you'll feel nothing at all... :D :D :D

Then, you would join our ranks brother...



I need time to ponder!

[Alter-ego]But, if you really want to, just do it.[/Alter-ego]

Uh, underwater radar? Isn't it ... sonar?

Just nod your head and pretend you understand! Or else The Godfather would kill you, your family...!



Really? Judging from Jeno's cold monologues speaking of how he was before he met Spica, I must've thought he was already one then...

Whatever. :p

Jeno was just one bored and lost kid with not a care in the world, and nothing on his mind but to become stronger for no reasons other than because :p

P.S - No brooding :p

Question at Chaos:

Might be wrong here but the Stain program is merely a offshoot of Sipher with him being the master program right? Would Sipher have the ability to override those with the Stain inside them at any time?


Sipher has control to all Stain programs, that's how he could sent mini-Sipher to guide the Destroyer-Canidates through their Initation...

HOWEVER, this is only because the Stain program for that is a newborn and couldn't do anything... During this time, mini-Sipher would be with it and it's host every step of the way, teaching them the ropes.

As it evolves, Sipher would have less control over the program. Once it becomes Sentient, Sipher could only observe it, but cannot affect it's decision directly in anyway...

Unless he REALLY wants/needs to... As in REALLY REALLY... As in "Even-if-it-kills-me" kind of really... As in "If-it's-the-last-thing-I'll-ever-do" kind of really...

Oh, BTW, we are still doing this here only because the thread is still somewhat slow. If the thread starts getting fast and we get in the way, I'd suggest moving this kind of discussion elsewhere.

“Brilliant sir! Should I call up 500 Star Destroy for the operation and 10,000 stormtroopers?”

In his defence, he was looking to Win Over what might be the biggest prize of the galaxy, the most powerful Jedi ever built and all. And he might not get it if he actually deployed enough force. At the very least, he demonstrated one positive quality - when he's doing a risky plan, he's willing to be part of those risked, which is a lot more than could be said for many Generals and rulers.

And even after everything, the man had an ejection seat to Byss (though he barely made the journey).

That said the “small underdog group defeats huge empire” trope is done to death in both fantasy and Sci-fi and mostly makes me role my eyes now. Another reason I liked Nanoha’s setting the heroes now pretty much WORK for the huge empire.

There I agree.

The F-15 was and is IMO a better aircraft simpler, just as effective, and more adaptable while the F-14 was morphed into a so-so bomber with upgrades the F-15E is flat out better at the job, not least because it can carry stuff on its wings. You need only look at foreign sales to see that, even the F-18 sold better then the 14 as did the F-15 and the 16... well that dosen't bear mentioning.

To be fair, the F-14 had a role that just never came to pass. In that role, if the Phoenix missiles and the AWG-9 system in generally even marginally works it'd be eons superior to the F-15.

More force would have helped, but it seems acutally fairly likely they'd have won fairly quickly if he hadn't interfered. You also can't just send EVERYTHING at any problem ideally you want enough to win by a comfortable margin, but no more. Before he interfered they seemed to have that force ratio the Knights appeared to be pretty much on the ropes in the very first engagement for instance.

To be fair, Signum's decision at the beginning of Ep5 was horrible. The crap mages sustaining the barriers are basically in two possible locations, close in inside the barrier or close in outside the barrier and Signum would probably be able to find the emissions shortly. If she had concentrated on eliminating the mages, she would have finished in a minute or two and they could all escape before Vita and Zafira get depleted down to nothing. Alternatively, she can do as Shamal will have recommended and break the barrier with a Full Drive Sturm Falken, thus getting them out in 20-30 seconds (in time for dinner - what are 4 cartridges against going home to beloved Hayate in short order). Just poor, poor decision making, that one...

In real terms, their force ratio was marginal and if any extra forces were available, they should have been deployed. As the numbers eventually filed out, it was 1 S-, 1 AAA+, 1 AA+ and 1 AA (plus a book which is basically an ammo tank) versus 1 AAA+ (with a huge weakness in power), 2 AAAs, 1 A (albeit with a particularly strong shield) and 1 A->AA. This is not exactly a desirable Correlation.

And the results showed it. Zafira, even while fighting Arf, had enough reserve to calmly take in the whole situation. Chrono seems to have been lucky to ambush Shamal, which was negated as Graham's familiar moved in. And really Shamal should just have hit the book sooner - Chrono and his command were lucky she hesitated (remember that their official assessment of the Wolkenritter depicted them as emotionless), because if she had hit the book sooner, it might have become a win and they can replenish the lost pages off the Linker Cores of dozens of prone TSAB mages.

Programming that can gain sentience would place them on the level of Unison Devices. Not to mention the benefits of the Stain past a certain stage.

The part of him forcing control would be nearly unneeded since Sipher would just probably consume them, unless its some kind of special situation.

Still this is going to give you lots to think about. :D

In other words: Big dorama I'm-about-to-die button.

To be fair, Signum's decision at the beginning of Ep5 was horrible. The crap mages sustaining the barriers are basically in two possible locations, close in inside the barrier or close in outside the barrier and Signum would probably be able to find the emissions shortly.

Just poor, poor decision making, that one...

I actually like the fact that the Nanoha characters make mistakes, it shows they're not completely perfect in each and every way.

My OC Keroko also made mistakes, some which cost her dearly. During the Crosys arc, she and her Squadron encountered a Necron tomb. Having no prior knowledge of the Necron, nobody knew of the danger that was inside. In fact, nobody knew what was inside at all, only that 'strange readings' were comming from inside. Keroko chose to go inside, and as a result they were ambushed by the Necron's, and three Rogues were lost. Now, the Rogues may be able to improvise and fill a ground comando role if neccissary, but they are Air-mages first, and Ground-mages second. The fact that they were going underground put the Squadron in a major tactical disadvantage, add to that the unknown factor, and one might wonder why Keroko didn't simply call on the propper forces to explore the tomb.

Simple answer: She fucked up. She weighted her options, and took the wrong decicion.

Between the horrors of WWII and the threat of nuclear holocaust in a Bipolar World lock, countries have become a lot less mutually aggressive.

You might be interested in knowing that archeologists have discovered there has been a trend towards decreasing violence throughout the course of human prehistory to present. This result is still somewhat contriversial because it is contrary to most people's image of primitive humans as peaceful and nature-loving. This may appear contradictory to scale of carnage in the last century, but the fact of the matter is that while we can cause more destructive fights, we are less eager to incite fights between ourselves and other peoples in the first place.

Really ... the only real link to the 1st season in StrikerS was a scene of a Starlight Breaker, which fits both versions very well.

No, you overlooked episode 9? All those recorded scenes from season 1 and 2 show that the anime is the canon material for this series.

I continue will support the argument that the TSAB does not practice Impressment until it is stated otherwise in the anime, manga or sound stages. We will just have to agree to disagree on the issue.

mental magic:
higher level mental magic’s like forceful mind reading or memory manipulation is basically unsupported IMO.

Actually, Accous used forceful mind-reading on Uno in ep24. At least, he was going to.

Well, I can actually believe this, but that kinda fits into my statement. WWII and the Cold War probably accelerated what may have been a natural process. It basically made War a far more unattractive option than any time in the past.

After all, from an evolutionary viewpoint, with the advent of civilization, people who refrain from violence tended to get an advantage, so it is naturally we are slowly creeping towards pacifism - let's just hope we don't fall too far into the other direction.

No, you overlooked episode 9? All those recorded scenes from season 1 and 2 show that the anime is the canon material for this series.

Episode 9 is precisely what I'm referring to. If you carefully look at the scenes that were actually quoted, you get the Starlight Breaker scene for Season 1, which fits into the anime version, the novel version and for that matter almost anything.

Actually, Accous used forceful mind-reading on Uno in ep24. At least, he was going to.

Did he say mind-reading? IIRC, he said he was going to get the truth, but it is not clear whether he was going to get it by Mind-Reading. He might have been intending ordinary interrogation. I'm downloading Ep24 to recheck.

Episode 9 is precisely what I'm referring to. If you carefully look at the scenes that were actually quoted, you get the Starlight Breaker scene for Season 1, which fits into the anime version, the novel version and for that matter almost anything.

And the other scenes don't matter because.... why?

Did he say mind-reading? IIRC, he said he was going to get the truth, but it is not clear whether he was going to get it by Mind-Reading. He might have been intending ordinary interrogation. I'm downloading Ep24 to recheck.

Yes he did. He says, "Let me take a look inside your head" then forms a green sphere on his hand.

Huh, I somehow completely missed this one. Sorry about that.

You will notice they weren't 18, and thus had already volunteered before the issue can be decided. Besides, I won't be conscripting Subaru unless I was doing Universal Military Service and everyone has to join. She will probably have learnt no magic if not for being saved for Nanoha.

You will also note that Genya said something about 'never planning for them to be in the millitairy' if conscription was indeed practiced, then this would make no sense as they would come into the millitairy anyway. It's more logical that they could make the choice of entering service, or not.

Second, think of the very term "non-administered planet" 未管理世界 for a moment. Can you see the very Hubris of the term? The TSAB does not "have no authority over these planets", at least according to its mind. It just doesn't bother to administer it for its own reasons - on a whim, it can become "administered".

Frankly, though considering their military incompetence, their only way to easily turn Earth into an Administered World would be to threaten destruction with Arcenciel.

I think the main problem here is that you are quite adamant on the TSAB being some form of conquering authority that will force its laws upon anyone and everyone they feel like, but honestly is there any such proof that they are in the series? Or manga? Or sound stages? There isn't, in fact, anything that was even a bit shady was done in the dark.

In my opinion non-administrated planets are planets with a definite form of authority, but no magical culture. These planets rely on technollogy that is forbiden by TSAB terms, so bringing them into the TSAB system will be risky, time consuming, expensive and perhaps even not even worth the effort. However, since there is always a chance of Lost Logia apearing, or criminals using them hiding there, they will still need to keep an eye on those planets.

Hence, the term non-administrated planets would be more like 'Planets we keep an eye on, but don't directly interfere with'.

Really ... the only real link to the 1st season in StrikerS was a scene of a Starlight Breaker, which fits both versions very well. IIRC no one explicitly tagged the fight to which it belonged. Further, see also all other arguments. You excise parts of clear direct contradiction and retain all other parts. Standard procedure for analysis.

All the scenes in episode 9 were from the anime, which is proof that they are using the anime as the base for StrikerS.

Yet, what proof is there they are using the novel? None.

And the other scenes don't matter because.... why?

IIRC, after the Starlight Breaker, they shifted over to footage from the Book of Darkness Incident, which makes it a completely different chronological zone.

Yes he did. He says, "Let me take a look inside your head" then forms a green sphere on his hand.

Checked. You are right.

Huh, I somehow completely missed this one. Sorry about that.

The thread's starting to speed up so tracking is becoming difficult. Want to head back to Military Decisions thread for your next reply? But then maybe it is coming to an end.

You will also note that Genya said something about 'never planning for them to be in the millitairy' if conscription was indeed practiced, then this would make no sense as they would come into the millitairy anyway. It's more logical that they could make the choice of entering service, or not.

Well, if he did say that, it'd be a point. I can be anal and say that as an officer, if he can arrange for Subaru to enter Officer's School he can probably arrange an exemption, but with the other evidence either way so weak (non-existent), I'd give you the win.

Not that, BTW, I see this as a good thing for the TSAB. As I've said before, I can see the TSAB being stupid enough not to conscript.

I think the main problem here is that you are quite adamant on the TSAB being some form of conquering authority that will force its laws upon anyone and everyone they feel like, but honestly is there any such proof that they are in the series? Or manga? Or sound stages? There isn't, in fact, anything that was even a bit shady was done in the dark.

Do you notice that it is you and JimmyC that are abscribing all the violently negative emotions to Conscription and Impressment? Tk3997 sees Impressment as an inevitability (the draft is a good thing) and I even see both as having Utilitarian advantages (even though like everyone else I don't like the deontology on the Impressment).
Do you kind of notice that the series, manga and sound stages revolve mostly around our protagonists, which are people of good moral qualities (even the novel made it clear Lindy did everything in her power and succeeded in stopping the overt Impressment, no?).
However, one also cannot help but notice that the moment you manage to get a peek past the shoulders of our protagonists, you find a much less efficient and clean world. From the nepotism surrounding Fate and most blatantly Graham, to General Regius and the High Council, to the Impressment, to the TSAB wimps running at the sight of drones, to the clear inadequacy of their tactical training - the TSAB just isn't as white as you think it is.
Finally, if dirty things are done in the dark, where can be "darker" to the TSAB perspective than various unadministered worlds barely known to the populace? Who will notice Impressments being done there? Who will even care if they notice? Almost certainly not the Midchildran constituency!

In my opinion non-administrated planets are planets with a definite form of authority, but no magical culture. These planets rely on technollogy that is forbiden by TSAB terms, so bringing them into the TSAB system will be risky, time consuming, expensive and perhaps even not even worth the effort. However, since there is always a chance of Lost Logia apearing, or criminals using them hiding there, they will still need to keep an eye on those planets.

Hence, the term non-administrated planets would be more like 'Planets we keep an eye on, but don't directly interfere with'.

The problem is that terminology actually indicates Thought Process. Who decides they won't interfere with a planet? The TSAB!

You will notice that your own entire explanation revolves around the concept that it'd be of Negative Utility Value for the TSAB to try and assert administrative dominance over the unadministered planet. Did you notice that none of it involves respecting Sovereignty and Self Determination or anything similar? Did you notice that they will "keep an eye" on the unadministered planets, and even you must admit that canon shows them interfering rather blatantly when they feel it necessary without any sign of cooperation with local authorities. In other words, the 97th's Unadministered status is at the sufferance of the TSAB, to be compromised or even terminated at any time they please.

Now, before you start blasting me for making the TSAB out into a tyrant again, I will say in their defense that they probably mean well, a magitech version of The White Man's burden. I can even concede that we will hardly be horribly off under TSAB administration (though I weep for most military otaku) and may even enjoy a higher standard of living (that's for the "1st World", starving people in Africa can probably hardly wait for the TSAB or anyone to pull them out of their plight). However, such TSAB attitudes, IMO, should be recognized for the fuller understanding of the agency and Midchildran society as a whole.

All the scenes in episode 9 were from the anime, which is proof that they are using the anime as the base for StrikerS.

You are not viewing this from a SoD perspective. From a SoD perspective, the scenes from Ep9 were not from "a anime". The Forwards were viewing live footage from a real event. The limited information content available in said footage makes it impossible to determine which past reality is correct. Further, see other points.

Yet, what proof is there they are using the novel? None.

How do you expect that they prove they are using the novel using a visual media?

EDIT:



Damn I'm good :D

The crappy copy-pasta movie which pretty much killed half the awesomeness that was Mamoru Hosoda? :mad:

The original Japanese 20 minute movie and War Games were much better representations of the original work.

I actually like the fact that the Nanoha characters make mistakes, it shows they're not completely perfect in each and every way.

If we look in perspectives, a lot of fictional characters make mistakes and are very flawed as well. But the main importance is to address those flaws.

StrikerS for one, even if it executed some parts well like Teana, Subaru, Nanoha to a degree, etc, doesn't really bring itself to shine its execution on the flaws of pretty much... RF6.

Episode 9 is precisely what I'm referring to. If you carefully look at the scenes that were actually quoted, you get the Starlight Breaker scene for Season 1, which fits into the anime version, the novel version and for that matter almost anything.

Episode 9's scenes were completely based of anime's S1 and S2. Since there's no way they'd be bothered to animate scenes out of the novel anyway.

I think a more fitting question would be...

Was there ANY S1 scenes from Ep.9 that might've contradicted anything the novel showed?

:rolleyes:

I'll remember the Nuu~~ though. :cool:

Was the issue EVER about the choice of utilitarianism quotas of talent? If anything, the closest I can think along the lines is control of power. Nanoha for one, even if she really had no real choice in staying on Earth, ASSUMING, doesn't mean that she had to be TSAB even if she transferred to say, Mid-childa or anywhere else. The question seems to lie closer in control of power in a responsive environment. At the least, we can assume that talent like Nanoha within Earth-context is probably a one-in-3-billion thing, and that's dangerous. Since Nanoha is no Lost-Logia or class-one-priority, they can't exactly keep a task force there to keep an eye either unless there's vouch by say... string pullings. On the other hand, Subaru is a person living in a magic-civilization.

TSAB, while the top-jackasses may practice things in secrecy, it's not like it's an silent-veiled autocratic organization. Even if superior talent is wanted, it's not they can force it out of the talent.



In my opinion non-administrated planets are planets with a definite form of authority, but no magical culture. These planets rely on technollogy that is forbiden by TSAB terms, so bringing them into the TSAB system will be risky, time consuming, expensive and perhaps even not even worth the effort. However, since there is always a chance of Lost Logia apearing, or criminals using them hiding there, they will still need to keep an eye on those planets.

Er... whut? How is any human tech forbidden by TSAB terms?

I've always thought that Non-Management Worlds are like say... Hyda IV to Elicoor using Star Ocean III terms. The difference level between civilizations and culture are dimensions apart, no pun intended and trying to bridge carelessly is extremely dangerous, almost like giving babies or children potential to go beyond what they should be handling. But at the same time, risk of Lost Logias and people possessing powers beyond their civilization exist, so they need to do things undercover.

We decide if you're ready to join us super powers, otherwise, it's our foreign policy to do things our way, kinda method.

So...much...backlog :eyespin:

Been trying to figure out how to do a post like this for a while and I finally got a good idea :). Takes place after Early Reflections (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1210382&postcount=13399).


"Sham~"

I looked up from my comfortable position on the couch over at the kitchen. Through the door I could see my mother smiling at me as she was doing the dishes after dinner. She didn't have to say another word as I immediately knew what she wanted. With a silent sigh, I roll off the couch and maneuver my way around my two sisters to go wipe the dishes. Sometimes I wonder why I have to do so many chores around the house while my sisters can just sit around and watch TV. Of course, the answer is always the same:

"You're the oldest and need to set a good example for your sisters. Plus you need to learn some responsibilities."

Even though that's why mom and dad tell me, I can't help but wonder if it's really because they like the free labor, a.k.a. their son. As I helped with the dishes, I couldn't help but glance out the kitchen window at the evening sky. Dinner tonight was a bit later than usual since dad was working late on some big engineering project at work. What it was, he really couldn't say. If it's anything like the other things I've seen him help make, it's gonna be very cool.

With the dishes washed, dried, and put neatly away I hang up the damp towel and flop back down on my original spot on the couch. Mom came in a short while later with her papers from work that she needed to finish. Dad was on the other end of the couch reading the paper for the day. My two sisters, Arael and Armisael, were on the floor watching some cartoon on the TV. I don't really pay much attention to what they watch nowadays as I don't find those shows as interesting anymore. Now anime, that's something completely different. That reminds me...I need to get a copy of that newer series from my friends when I see them at school.

CRASH

I instinctively dove of the couch as the window behind me shattered. My sisters screamed, diving for cover next to me at the base of the couch. What the hell was that? Some punks on a drive-by?

Lifting my head up, I took a quick survey around to try and find out what it was that went through the window. Besides all the shattered glass I couldn't see anything. The TV was black, but no damage to the screen. Huh...when did they turn it off?

"Come out, come out where ever you are~"

My parents were instantly on their feet and peering out the window. Apparently whoever it was that broke the window was still outside. I picked up my sisters and pulled them away from the couch towards the kitchen as I saw my mother heading for the phone and dialing for who I presume was 911.

"What do you want? Who are you?" I could hear my dad shouting out the window.

"You know what I want."

Turning my head I could see mom slamming the phone back on the cradle. The phone lines are dead? Just who is this guy? We don't have anything of real value in here...

My thoughts are broken as I feel my mother grabbing my arm and ushering us towards the rear door of the house. Like most houses here, ours had a door that lead out into the backyard. Made it so much easier to get outside than having to go out the front and all the way around the house. Rushing into to the backyard, I presumed we were going to cut through the neighbor's yard to get away. At least, that was until we saw a figure blocking out intended path of escape.

"Ah, I don't think so."

That voice...if was the same guy from outside! But how did he know we were going out here? How did he even get here so fast? I could feel my mother holding us protectively as she stared him down. He was an odd-looking man, maybe around my parent's age with his black hair pulled back into a ponytail. What got my attention was his clothes. It was...odd. Long pants with boots and some kinda cape attached to the waist. His jacket wasn't closed, exposing his chest and there was some kind of armor on his shoulders and wrists. Some kind of new clothing style or something? Or maybe some cosplayer on drugs?

Behind us, I heard my dad run out the door and stand between us and him. He held two broom handles in his hands, tossing one to my mother. I felt her stand up and then stand next to my father.

"Shamsel," I looked up at my father, his back still facing us, "Take your sisters and run."

To say I was shocked would be an understatement. I looked between mom and dad and then to my frightened siblings and then back to the man who remained in his spot, a smug look on his face.

"But..."

"Just go. Go and protect them as an older brother should."

I took a deep breath, letting the words and situation sink in to my mind. Slowly standing, I grabbed my sisters' hands and pulled them to their feet. The next thing I knew I was running with them in front of me towards the street.

"We love you, remember that," I could hear mom and dad shout as I ran, but I never stopped...I never looked back.

The road seemed so far away. After what seemed like an eternity, we made it to the road and made our way down the street. Why was this happening? Why now? Why to us? As we ran down the block, something poked from the back of mind. Where was everyone? It was then that I realized no one had come out to investigate the noise. There was no sounds of cars or birds or anything for that matter. What was going on?

I don't know what it was, but something brought me to a stop as I pulled my sisters in close. Next thing I knew the road in front of us exploded, showering asphalt and dirt everywhere. After a few seconds I looked up, making sure that they were alright.

"Tich...trying to avoid all the fun are we?"

That voice...I whip around and go wide-eyed as the strange man stands where the road exploded. How did he...? At that point, it didn't really matter how he got there, but rather that he WAS there. I grab my sisters and sprint off in the other direction, the small detail of him floating over the crater completely lost in the moment.

Running was all I could do at the moment, fueled by pure adrenaline and determination to protect my sisters. I didn't know where I was going, but taking a quick look around I found we had come back to in front of our house. Something was on the road up ahead. I couldn't tell what it was in the dark, but as we got closer...

I stopped dead in my tracks, quickly averting my sisters' eyes. No...it wasn't possible, right? This all just some kind of bad dream, right? As much as I wanted it to be, the bodies of my parents lying on the road in a pool of their own blood was very much reality. They had died to protect us...I had to get...

"Boo."

Jerking around I find myself staring at the stranger. Before I could do anything, he wraps his hand around my neck and lifts me off the ground. He was really strong. I desperately try to free myself, kicking and clawing at whatever I could reach as he laughed.

"Aw...how cute. Since those two didn't have it...that must mean one of you does."

'It'? What is 'it'? Behind me I could hear feet running on the road. They must be trying to get away Maybe if I can keep his focus on me...

Sharp screams catch my attention as I desperately try to see what happened. He couldn't have done anything to them! He was standing in the same spot holding onto me! Did he have a partner or something? A twin? As if to brag, he turns me so I can see behind me. This...wasn't possible. How could...this be?

"It's just a simple magic bind. Or are you just trying to feign your ignorance, owner of the Book of Darkness?"

Magic? Bind? Book of Darkness? What...what was going on? What was he talking about? Magic doesn't exist! But...I couldn't think of any other explanation at the time for the bands of light that held my sisters captive a few inches above the ground.

"Hmmm...perhaps I might just need to 'persuade' you to hand over the Book of Darkness..."

I let out a sharp gasp as I find myself bound in a similar manner. Is this...really magic? Or maybe some black-opts government technology? My thoughts are broken as I see the man walking over to Arael, the youngest sister. He extends his hand and a...a sword of some kind just materializes! What the HELL is going on here?!

"Such a waste of beauty..."

The sound of slitting flesh...of screams of horror...of blood dripping onto the road below. It was all so sudden. I could hear my other sister screaming and...is that me? Yes, I was also screaming. I struggled desperately against the bindings, trying to find some way of getting out. My eyes...I couldn't tear them away as I could only watch Arael's eyes widen in pure horror, her mouth open in a silent scream. And then...her binds giving way, letting her slump lifelessly onto the floor next to my parents.

"Well, guess she didn't have it. Next~"

I don't think I ever stopped screaming. My pleas were left unanswered as he stood in front of Armisael, sword still dripping crimson fluid from its tip. I don't know why I couldn't pull my eyes away or even close them. Maybe it was the shock of the whole situation or maybe it was some of his 'magic.' Whatever it was I could only watch and scream as he ran her through.

Tears? When had I started crying? They wouldn't stop coming...the tears and the screaming. My family was lying before me...dead. He turns to face me, sword poised and ready.

"And then there was one. I believe you have a saying here, 'third time's a charm.'"

Everyone became silent. Maybe I had lost my voice, but my screaming stopped as I stared at my soon to be killer. I had failed my parents. I promised to protect my sisters...to be the big brother and keep them safe. I failed...I failed them...to keep them safe...to protect them. The sword was thrust forward to wards me chest to end it all...

And I screamed.

----------------------------------
Shamsel bolted upright in bed, eyes wide in terror and mouth open in a silent scream. His breathing was raged and quick as his eyes slowly adjusted to the dim light of the room. Trying to calm himself down, he closes his eyes and takes deep breaths. His clothes were soaked in a cold sweat, some still dripping him his forehead...no it wasn't sweat. It was tears.

A quick glance at his clock showed it was 10 minutes before he usually awoke. The images...the sounds...the feelings were all still fresh in his mind. He brings his knees up to his chest and wraps his arms around them as he buries his face in his knees...

...and cries.

If someone had been there, the might have heard him silently mumbling to himself as the tear continued to come:

"I failed to protect you...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

The tears would continue to come until his morning alarm went off, signaling the start of a new day.

Nice piece, well written. Though now I want to know what happens after, which I assume will be explained in the next chapter? Also, why Book of Darkness? :uhoh:


Where's FA? I need a scary onionhead emote. :D

:heh: That's absoulelty crazy regardless.... I wish I could write like that.

I'll be looking forward to it! Although if you release it anytime soon I probably won't get back to you until about 1.5 weeks...exams *sigh*

Actually, I have a habit of soaking up on some random ideas to make a story, but somehow, I was having a huge writer's block this morning that I couldn't finish Chapter Four. I just looked at the computer screen for several minutes, wandered around for a bit, returned, and still get the block. >_>

Luckily, after dinner and a load of talks with friends (*wink* FieryAeon *wink*), the juice returned, or else, I need to extend the ETA. :p

Anyway, it's now 15K, and probably it will finish by next Saturday. :D

And mind you, that much of words in a single chapter can be utterly ... boring.

That wouldn't be too far off I suppose. :heh:

Perhaps a little too close. :rolleyes:

Creation, not creator. ;)

Makes me kind of sad my ability to confuse people overtakes that of my specialty. :heh:

Looks like Leona and Katrina has something in common. :hmm:

Yessss dark they are. :D While not on purpose, the questions in this list is predisposed towards drawing out the vulnerabilities the character answering them has. Courtesy of Grinder and his kitten. :D

Ouch, I'm almost feeling sorry for... whoever that was. :heh:

If we look in perspectives, a lot of fictional characters make mistakes and are very flawed as well. But the main importance is to address those flaws.

StrikerS for one, even if it executed some parts well like Teana, Subaru, Nanoha to a degree, etc, doesn't really bring itself to shine its execution on the flaws of pretty much... RF6.

I think we all agree that StrikerS was epic failure in explaining these kinds of things.

I'll get to the millitary stuff later in the military thread.

Ah, the memories. :D One of the reasons I'm hoping for a fourth season is to see the fields of blue returning.

Either it's the result of a very bad accident and misunderstanding...

OR something out of Yuuno/Chrono's fantasy...

OR They drank something they shouldn't have... :uhoh:

Huff...Huff...

Where was I? Oh yes...


*Koji placed a ring in Maren's finger...*
:heh:

Ok, I though of this a while ago, it's quite funny...:D
Maren can sometimes be very innocent :rolleyes:

Koji waited in the living room, sitting on the couch, with his hands resting on his knees.
"They sure are taking a lot of time..." He said as he tapped his finger on his knee.

Then the sound of steps were heard on the stairs near the living room.
"We're ready~" Yui said cheerfully.
"Oh..." Koji stood up speechless, as he looked at Yui, Maren and Treize wearing yukata for the festival.
"H-How does it look, Koji-sama?" Maren asked, embarrassed.

"A-Ah..." He snaped out, "It suits you...a lot."
Maren smiled softly, "Thank you."
"Onii-chan, how about me~" She spun around once.
"Cute as always." He replied. "And Treize too." He looked at her.
Treize nodded, "...Thank you."

"Shall we go?" Koji asked them.
"Yes~" Yui replied for everyone.
"Then let's go!" He threw a fist upwards.
"...go~" Treize copied Koji.


And so, they left the house and met up with everyone else to go to the festival.
They were having a lot of fun, but Koji couldn't help notice that Maren's behavior was unusual.
Maren was avoiding moving too much and her face was red.

As they returned from the festival, Koji approached Maren.
"Maren, is something wrong? Your face is red, do you have a cold?" Koji asked.
"No...it's these clothes..." She said shyly.
"Oh, you're not used to wearing a yukata, is that it?"

"W-well...it's a bit embarrassing..."
"Embarrassing, why?" Koji blinked.
Maren's face got redder and she fidgeted, "B-Because...you can't wear underwear with it..."
"...eh?...EH????" Koji shouted in surprise.

When Koji shouted, the group stopped walking and turned to them.
"Koji-kun, is something wrong?" Nanoha asked.
"N-Nothing! Nothing at all!!" Koji waved his hands.
"Okay..." She said and continued to walk, along with everyone else.

Koji got closer to Maren, "W-who told you that?"
"Yui did...when we were trying them on." She replied.
He sighed, "As I thought..."
"But it was confirmed by Hayate-san and Shamal-san, so I thought it was true..." She explained.
"And they were involved as well..." Koji sighed again.

Grabbing Maren by her hand, they caught up with Yui and Treize.
"Yui!" He called her.
"acha...Onii-chan found out..." She said playfully.
"Yui don't pull such pranks on Maren!" He said with a red face.
"It wasn't just Maren-chan, Trei-chan isn't using them either..." She said, then turned to Treize, "ne?"
"un..." She nodded.

"Eh?" Koji's eye twitched, "Y-Yui!"
"datte~ That's the way it's worn." She smiled innocently.
"Y-Yui, d-don't tell me..." Koji stepped back.
"Hmm...I'll leave that to Onii-chan's imagination~" She stroke a pose and winked at him.
Koji couldn't even reply, his eye just twitched at the mere thought of it...

Tragic past, huh? So how was he saved?

I don't think Shamsel could answer that question himself :heh:. I'll extract that little explanation from his profile...

...Having detected the barrier, the nearest Bureau mages made haste to the scene in hopes of preventing anymore innocent deaths. As they neared the dark barrier, it cracked and exploded from the inside. All mages had a general understanding on barriers and their mechanics. They also knew that it would take a tremendous amount of magical power to destroy one by force, especially from the inside. Wasting no time, the mages converged on the scene. The smoking crater quickly drew their attention and they feared for the worst. They came upon the remains of the house and the corpses of the family. Further down the road, one of the Bureau mages found the boy unconscious with a smaller, smoking crater in front of him and the rogue mage no where in sight...


Nice piece, well written. Though now I want to know what happens after, which I assume will be explained in the next chapter? Also, why Book of Darkness? :uhoh:


Thank you :blush:. It took me a while to write it and make it sound and express the feelings that I wanted. I will say that it was difficult to write as I rarely write from 1st Person POV, let alone tragic stuff like this. I like WAFF and Romance a lot better :nod:
The Book of Darkness? I had that little tid-bit in the background (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1200471&postcount=12998) section of his profile. Let me copy that section...

...After the TSAB confirmed the existence of the Book of Darkness in Japan, they tried all they could to keep that information under wraps and away from the general public. However, the amount of resources being diverted to the ‘backwater’ planet in addition to a few information leaks by TSAB personnel who were selling information for money, eventually caught the attention of numerous mages who had heard the Book of Darkness and the rumored limitless power it had.

Thus they set out for Earth in hopes of finding the owner of the Book of Darkness and acquiring the power for themselves before the TSAB. Realizing that the Book of Darkness would be possessed by someone with magical abilities, many began to deploy barriers as they hoped from one populated are to another to isolate and identify these people. Then they would attack their targets and kill them, believing that the Book of Darkness would be free for the taking once its owner was dead...

And just keeping tabs, i'm trying to compile a list of 'Magical Diseases', a list of fiction made ailments that affect magic users in general- so far i have 2.


AT: Comically termed as "Asunaric Temperance", this is a genetically acquired sickness that makes the affected 'immune to magic'- which in reality is an impervious magical shield made out of overflowing mana that comes from a somewhat overproductive Medial (my term for the magic circuit) System and minute organelles found by MC medicine termed as 'Logians'. as the cells are over-reactive the body begins to slowly degenerate. Sufferers die by the age of 14 onwards due to heat exhaustion- often grisly.

German eh... We would have much dealings with this one... Soon he would join our ranks, just as the others had before... :D

Eeeeeevil.

Misunderstood :nod:


Blowing up hmself in the process?

Erm, no... Why :heh: ?


I think we all agree that StrikerS was epic failure in explaining these kinds of things.

There are other failures to mention as well... >.>


Maybe after I can stop running.

He's over there!

Shoot!

Oh shi-

GO Keroko! We'll cover you!!

Jeno: "Wait, so we're on his side now?"



Ah, the memories. :D One of the reasons I'm hoping for a fourth season is to see the fields of blue returning.

Huh? What?

:heh:



'what would happen if you could get the Takamachi sisters drunk?'

*launches decoy and continues running*

Drunk? Naahhh...

This is just tipsy :D

Chrono: "Sorry Yuuno, if you're not with us, you're against us..."

*Tied up Yuuno mumbles something through the gag*



*Up in space, Keroko-tan shoots awake and locks on to Chaos*

*Climb out of the wreckage*

Okay, THAT was uncalled for :mad: !


And yes, I'm curious.

Jeno: "HEY :frustrated: !"

Chrono did it. Yuuno enjoyed it. Or at least Chrono in Chaos' hands is far from nice. :D

:heh:

Ok, I though of this a while ago, it's quite funny...:D
Maren can sometimes be very innocent :rolleyes:

Koji waited in the living room, sitting on the couch, with his hands resting on his knees.
"They sure are taking a lot of time..." He said as he tapped his finger on his knee.

Then the sound of steps were heard on the stairs near the living room.
"We're ready~" Yui said cheerfully.
"Oh..." Koji stood up speechless, as he looked at Yui, Maren and Treize wearing yukata for the festival.
"H-How does it look, Koji-sama?" Maren asked, embarrassed.

"A-Ah..." He snaped out, "It suits you...a lot."
Maren smiled softly, "Thank you."
"Onii-chan, how about me~" She spun around once.
"Cute as always." He replied. "And Treize too." He looked at her.
Treize nodded, "...Thank you."

"Shall we go?" Koji asked them.
"Yes~" Yui replied for everyone.
"Then let's go!" He threw a fist upwards.
"...go~" Treize copied Koji.


And so, they left the house and met up with everyone else to go to the festival.
They were having a lot of fun, but Koji couldn't help notice that Maren's behavior was unusual.
Maren was avoiding moving too much and her face was red.

As they returned from the festival, Koji approached Maren.
"Maren, is something wrong? Your face is red, do you have a cold?" Koji asked.
"No...it's these clothes..." She said shyly.
"Oh, you're not used to wearing a yukata, is that it?"

"W-well...it's a bit embarrassing..."
"Embarrassing, why?" Koji blinked.
Maren's face got redder and she fidgeted, "B-Because...you can't wear underwear with it..."
"...eh?...EH????" Koji shouted in surprise.

When Koji shouted, the group stopped walking and turned to them.
"Koji-kun, is something wrong?" Nanoha asked.
"N-Nothing! Nothing at all!!" Koji waved his hands.
"Okay..." She said and continued to walk along with everyone else.

Koji got closer to Maren, "W-who told you that?"
"Yui did...when we were trying them on." She replied.
He sighed, "As I thought..."
"But it was confirmed by Hayate-san and Shamal-san, so I thought it was true..." She explained.
"And they were involved as well..." Koji sighed again.

Grabbing Maren by her hand, they caught up with Yui and Treize.
"Yui!" He called her.
"acha...Onii-chan found out..." She said playfully.
"Yui don't pull such pranks on Maren!" He said with a red face.
"It wasn't just Maren-chan, Trei-chan isn't using them either..." She said, then turned to Treize, "ne?"
"un..." She nodded.

"Eh?" Koji's eye twitched, "Y-Yui!"
"datte~ That's the way it's worn." She smiled innocently.
"Y-Yui, d-don't tell me..." Koji stepped back.
"Hmm...I'll leave that to Onii-chan's imagination~" She stroke a pose and winked at him.
:heh::heh::heh:

Ah the whispers of Yui. What would she say to the innocent duo next? :D

Ahh but it's fun! Well suit yourself!

lol I just can't form a solid opinion on the subject.

These are the guidelines I work under, others bend and break these nearly at will sometimes though, I tend to let a bit slide if it’s only in one area though and not to outrageous.

I start out with stuff I think is pretty much impossible:
-Time manipulation of any kind is out IMO it’s just never shown or even hinted at in anything so far as I know.
-Ploymorphing, magic illusions to make you or objects look different are seen, but I don’t think turning people into toads physically would fit AT ALL.
-Resurrection of ANY kind IMO Nanoha magic is too realistic to allow raising the dead.

Now we get into a subject that’s a bit nebulous mental magic:
-We have some sort of “telepathy”, but what exactly that is, is debatable as it basiclly just seems to be used as skull phone, higher level mental magic’s like forceful mind reading or memory manipulation is basiclly unsupported IMO.

Next up we have stuff that’s possible but more limited then in many magic settings:
-Really, really fast super speed, speed boosts are seen, but I don’t think mages dodging bullets or moving like the Flash would fit.
-Healing is again seen, but your average “zap away dozens of bullet and stab wounds” isn’t we still see hospitals and slings and talk of recovery times so healing magic is clearly limited.

*jots down notes in NotePad* Right, that wasn't so bad.

On a final note we never really see a spell do much more damage then a few aircraft bombs many do far, far less any spell that gets into the “take out entire city blocks or small towns” range is already pushing into the too much range any mention of “nuclear” in relation to a power level will result in a savage mauling by me at least.

I dunno, Nanoha does some pretty powerful shit. But then, she is the main character. She's got every right to pull out a ton of Spiral Energy- I MEAN a ton of magic power from out of nowhere.

Well the problem was the Emperor was a dolt… “I have a cunning plan! I’ll use myself, the only thing holding the entire state together, as bait in a trap for the majority of my enemies forces!”

“Brilliant sir! Should I call up 500 Star Destroy for the operation and 10,000 stormtroopers?”

“No you fool call JUST enough ships to stalemate the rebels and only a pittance of troops that can be easily overpowered by a small commado team!”

Haha, best characterization of the trap in RotJ ever. It's probably what happened, to be honest >.<

Even despite that he STILL might have won if not for a bunch of freaking teddy bears… Of coruse after the movie we then get the New Republic which has like government character shields. No matter how ragingly incompetent it is nothing can seem to topple it; because the good guys are part of it. Acutally at times it seems like a group of about 30 to 40 people is the only thing holding together a government that spans possibly millions of worlds…

Plot armor is a powerful thing. If Nanoha had plot armor, we'd all accuse her of hax.

That said the “small underdog group defeats huge empire” trope is done to death in both fantasy and Sci-fi and mostly makes me role my eyes now. Another reason I liked Nanoha’s setting the heroes now pretty much WORK for the huge empire.

What if said underdog group had anti-matter cannons? :p j/k.

As mentioned the HQ seems to have some sort of shield I wouldn’t have much issue with fairly strong shields over important faculties, but I don’t think any kind of “planetary shield grid” would fit the setting and I think those shields could be bombed down with a focused unopposed barrage by a small fleet.

And also, it'd be pointless to shield an entire planet. You can't inhabit 100% of a planet; there's no way (which is why I always found Coruscant's existence to be utterly ridiculous, even if they are the heart of a galactic republic/empire/whathaveyou).

It just so how very much can go wrong when trying to do stuff like this.

Well, at least I'm forcing myself to think, ne?

Would work better perhaps or perhaps not, if TSAB space travel is based on Magi-tech the principle could still be totally alien to people using actual somewhat realistic space travel tech. Then again the idea of an actual war between planets that amounts to anything besides "Gain control of orbit and start dropping nukes" would be hard fathom as well... An actual planetary invasion tends to require science fictionally efficient space travel tech or totally fictional systems.

You wouldn't wanna nuke a planet you plan on conquering and using as your own. A planetary non-nuclear bombardment of major cities would be more likely.

The concept of Magi-tech is kinda iffy. Raising Heart was a Device, after all, and (granted, Yuuno helped her a little) Nanoha caught on pretty quick (then again, she also had huge innate talent. Huge). Part of it could be reversed, but until they figured out "oh hay magic?" it'd take them a while. And that could take anywhere from a few days to a few decades.

I actually meant they’d probably only be able to build something that was sort of like an F-14, but inferior to the original even with decades of research.

That said the F-14 had issues it wasn’t a terrible plane, but it was a hanger queen extraordinaire and a total beast on the maintenance crews, and it had problems with engines early on though upgrades mostly sorted that. Still it was awfully complex for what it was meant too do and modern fly by wire aircraft that are actively unstable have defeated much of the point of variable geometry wings, they where a solution to a passing problem and the weight penalties from them defeat allot of the “advantages” even before the above system appeared.

The F-14 was also designed near the end of the rapid jet design phase. Remember that shortly after the invention of the jet engine the U.S. was pumping out new designs almost once a year, if not more.

The F-15 was and is IMO a better aircraft simpler, just as effective, and more adaptable while the F-14 was morphed into a so-so bomber with upgrades the F-15E is flat out better at the job, not least because it can carry stuff on its wings. You need only look at foreign sales to see that, even the F-18 sold better then the 14 as did the F-15 and the 16... well that dosen't bear mentioning.

The F-14 was never designed to be a bomber. It was supposed to be a high-speed long-range interceptor. It was the sniper of the Cold War era; the range of the Phoenix missile alone would have hit any bomber BVR. But of course it never got to actually do that.


It WAS cool, but as is often the case with such things it was a bit inefficient too.

Which is why Starlight Breaker, while effectively being a beast, might be the most inefficient spell known to man.

Then again, it gets the job done.

that would require a rather high tech level actually probably centuries ahead of our own, it's your plot just consider that fact and interplanetary war is going to demand huge advacnes in many areas, and might not even be realistically feasible without sci-fi tech.

Well that would fit in with my original concept; a group of mages that mix conventional technology with Magic. It's possible that this civilization is heavy on the sci-fi tech, which, while awesome in its own right, is inferior to the TSAB Magi-tech.

It works to a point, but I just find the entire idea of a much lower tech power acutally being able to attack and disable a TSAB warship before it either flees or simply crushes them pretty unlikely frankly. Them finding a drifting wreck in local space and with massive effort salvaging valuable tech from it I can buy or it making a barely controlled crash landing on a planet after taking heavy damage, but them acutally shooting it down seems like a huge stretch with any kind of near future tech given that the TSAB navy is working quite literally with “magi-tech”.


The problem is any semi-realistic spaceship still wouldn't have the kind of properties we see in TSAB naval vessels, accelration still being the killer the TSAB has artificial gravity and so quite possible inertial dampers and can move from the surface of a planet into orbit easily, that isn't easy at all more so for something so big. Basically any ship that could catch and effectively attack a TSAB vessle would already be well into the sci-fi zone and probably close to them in tech level making the worth of the vessel itself suspect...

Well any nation wants to learn as much about his or her neighbors, whether it be through subterfuge and espionage or just downright taking something away from them. But all in all, I want it to be that the TSAB warship that is derelict/ruined/accidentally pwnd itself/what have you would provide a sufficient leak to make the Erusians arrogant enough to think they can take on the TSAB.

Acutally Flankers are so prolific that small African countries have them besides you ought not to build for the last war; you build for the next one. Admittedly figuring out what the next one will look like can be a bitch… Also modern fighter have such long developments times that you need to plans decades ahead since if you wait until you need them you’ll never get them up in time[/FONT]

Half of flying a jet is the pilot him/herself. The Israelis did a practice test not too long ago, F-15Is vs... I think it was Flankers. Either way, they raped the Flankers because the pilots were superior to their competition. Granted, even an ace MiG-21 pilot would lose to a n00b F-22A pilot due to the weaponry involved.

And also, the F-22A has been in development for much longer than a decade. Hell, my dad knew about the F-22 during his Air Force days over twenty years ago.

You’ll probably lose that bet, laser weapons are already in testing and advances in solid state models promise even better outputs and smaller size. In fact one nearly made it to production, THEL (Tactical High Energy Laser) shot down mortars and artillery rockets in live fire testing, that’s arguably already weapons grade. Popular science had a nice article about it in one of their issues last year.

Yeah but don't the lasers require sustained lock on to their target and sustained firing (similar to a Battlemech's pulse laser) to do any damage? A burst of energy won't do any good, and a continuous stream of energy seems rather wasteful to me than just charging up a particle and firing it. Then again, charging a particle to fire it may take even more energy.

He'd have to pop out damn near on top of them for them to attack him and the first thing he's going to do when he see he's so close is start backing off, it's rather more likely he'll be able to issue that command before anyone on the ground sees, identifies (or fails too) the contact, deliberates on what to do, and decides to fire on it. Given the speed a TSAB ship probably has it could be well outside the range of any engagement by then and if his vector was out bound to start with even IF some weapon caught up and hit him he'd continue on that course (this being space) not somehow fall out of the sky into the planet.

That's true. How fast do these ships go? I know they can break through to heaven dimensional space, but I don't know how.

Do you think its possible that someone could get the drop on the ship?

Yeah that’s a pretty common issue in allot of sci-fi huge ass star ships crashing down or into stuff often just seem to dig a trench and not much else when they land…

Macross is good one to look at to see it done right when the SDF-1 crashes its HUGE the shockwave from its passing levels buildings (which it would) and the blast when it impacts is visible from most of the hemisphere. Of coruse it goes with a wildly unlikely scenario of it impacting into the shallow water around some tiny little inland in the pacific this thus side stepping the global dust cloud that ought to have happened(while making it easy to recover). I can’t recall on tsunamis, but I think they did happen. Anyway it was clearly a mega disaster of the first order which any large scale space craft crashing uncontrolled onto a planet would be.

Ah, Macross. It did a lot of stuff right when it came to stuff like that.

The average sci-fi warship is effectively the size of a country buster asteroid some of the bigger ones are almost continent busters. Acutally ships might well be MORE dangerous then an asteroid of the same size. Most asteroids are now thought to be pretty much gravel piles loosely held together by gravity more like a dirt clod then a stone, but a ship would likely be made almost totally out of heavy solid metals AND probably armored externally against thermal energy (as most ray guns would use heating to do their damage). This means more of it is likely to make it to the ground, add in a radioactive or good forbid unstable anti-matter (or technobabble) power source and you’ve got the makings of one hell of disaster on the ground below a major orbital battle.

If the average warship (say, space cruiser sized), was powered by a fusion reactor, hurled into the atmosphere of a planet with shields up, and Impacted, we would see a global disaster.

...good way to kick a planet's ass as a last ditch effort though. "RAM IT!"

I personally think more then 15 to 20% would be pushing it.

I was gonna say more along the lines of 25-30%. Midchilda seems to have magic everything when it comes to security.

Well one possibility is simply that it didn't seem that important at first or that they didn't even know about it for awhile. They seem to have been drawn in to investigate after it was underway and it escalated quickly and they just couldn't get more ships to the scene before it was concluded.

That could be likely. Since there was no RF6 back in those days to dedicate resources to finding Lost Logia (among other things they did in StrikerS, of course), it could be likely that except for certain ones (the BOD, Relics, etc.) they might not have considered the possibility that a few Jewel Seeds would be too bad (after all, if every drone had a Jewel Seed or JS Replica in it, we're looking at hundreds if not thousands).

More force would have helped, but it seems acutally fairly likely they'd have won fairly quickly if he hadn't interfered. You also can't just send EVERYTHING at any problem ideally you want enough to win by a comfortable margin, but no more. Before he interfered they seemed to have that force ratio the Knights appeared to be pretty much on the ropes in the very first engagement for instance.

Acutally somewhat justified given their freakish power level, and Yunno and Arf aren't any kind of slouches either I say again if Graham dosen't butt in it's entirely possibly they beat the Knights in Ep.5 and the entire thing is over.

If the BOD was dangerous enough, I would have wanted more than that, but that's just me.

...Then again, they also had an Arc-en-Ciel-armed ship. From what I could tell the Arc isn't exactly a handout.

That wasn’t really brain washing it was misplaced and undeserved loyalty. Children will do some pretty terrible things to try and please their parents, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard of parents using their children to help them steal stuff for instance. She was a terrible parent, but she was still Fate’s “mother” and that’s an extremely powerful psychological bond that even truly stunning levels abuse can have difficultly breaking. (I’ve heard of stuff that makes what she did seem positively ‘meh’, emersion into bathtubs or sinks full of scolding hot water is a particularly sickening one, ever seen a boiled ham?)

That's wrong and disgusting and- *shuts up*. Yeah let's not talk about child abuse.

Either works I made a planet that has some of those elements though it joined largely by choice it still has some subtle dissidence going on.

The idea of a subjugated world kind of appeals to me really, the more I think about it. Every good space empire needs a system under constant martial law.

Well that is the point of all this, I do find just debating and coming up with background and theories one of the more enjoyable aspect of the entire process myself.

It's been a while since I had to debate anything. It's refreshing.

===================

'what would happen if you could get the Takamachi sisters drunk?'

*launches decoy and continues running*
Already happened, although it was Nanoha instead of Keroko. :uhoh:

“Hikki-chama…”

He glanced up. A sinister grin was the first thing he saw, before his body was strangled by Nanoha’s sealing bind. “What the hell was that for?!” he screamed and writhed to get free from the bind.

Nanoha cackled. Slowly she crawled towards him, mischievous smile carved upon her face, as she murmured his name in hoarse breath. She stopped crawling, her face barely an inch away from his. “Hikki-chama… do I look cute?” she mumbled, hiccuping between each sentence.

“Nanoha, you’re drunk…” he gulped.

Nanoha giggled. Her arms crawled up his body and came to rest on his chest. She traced an imaginary circle on it, hiccupping again as a result of the strong brew she consumed. “You do find me cute, don’t you?” she whispered and began encircling her arms about his neck. Her gaze became dangerously seductive, and her voice became even huskier. “Say something… ne?”
You get the idea. :uhoh: :uhoh:

I can't seem to ascertain the direction the conversations in this thread is going. :eyespin: Still I'll just reply whatever some of the posts.
:heh: That's the way :D Just reply to what you understand :D
Actually, I have a habit of soaking up on some random ideas to make a story, but somehow, I was having a huge writer's block this morning that I couldn't finish Chapter Four. I just looked at the computer screen for several minutes, wandered around for a bit, returned, and still get the block. >_>

Luckily, after dinner and a load of talks with friends (*wink* FieryAeon *wink*), the juice returned, or else, I need to extend the ETA. :p

Anyway, it's now 15K, and probably it will finish by next Saturday. :D

And mind you, that much of words in a single chapter can be utterly ... boring.
Ahhh I see. ETA next Saturday? :D That's good, I'll have your reply back to you within a few days then...

Well, we'll see if it's boring or not, once you post it.... Although you'll have to separate it out into at least two posts (post limit of 50k characters).

Browsing through the beginnings of Outer-Canaan certainly yielded some interesting info. Not to mention the monstrous growth rate of backlog back then. :eek::heh:
:heh: Ahh the memories... We've lost a lot of people in the last few months due to unknown issues...:sad: I wasn't there at the very beginning, got involved around the time that the backlog was starting to zip along with everyone pitching in characters :D

:heh:

Ok, I though of this a while ago, it's quite funny...:D
Maren can sometimes be very innocent :rolleyes:

Koji waited in the living room, sitting on the couch, with his hands resting on his knees.
"They sure are taking a lot of time..." He said as he tapped his finger on his knee.

Then the sound of steps were heard on the stairs near the living room.
"We're ready~" Yui said cheerfully.
"Oh..." Koji stood up speechless, as he looked at Yui, Maren and Treize wearing yukata for the festival.
"H-How does it look, Koji-sama?" Maren asked, embarrassed.

"A-Ah..." He snaped out, "It suits you...a lot."
Maren smiled softly, "Thank you."
"Onii-chan, how about me~" She spun around once.
"Cute as always." He replied. "And Treize too." He looked at her.
Treize nodded, "...Thank you."

"Shall we go?" Koji asked them.
"Yes~" Yui replied for everyone.
"Then let's go!" He threw a fist upwards.
"...go~" Treize copied Koji.


And so, they left the house and met up with everyone else to go to the festival.
They were having a lot of fun, but Koji couldn't help notice that Maren's behavior was unusual.
Maren was avoiding moving too much and her face was red.

As they returned from the festival, Koji approached Maren.
"Maren, is something wrong? Your face is red, do you have a cold?" Koji asked.
"No...it's these clothes..." She said shyly.
"Oh, you're not used to wearing a yukata, is that it?"

"W-well...it's a bit embarrassing..."
"Embarrassing, why?" Koji blinked.
Maren's face got redder and she fidgeted, "B-Because...you can't wear underwear with it..."
"...eh?...EH????" Koji shouted in surprise.

When Koji shouted, the group stopped walking and turned to them.
"Koji-kun, is something wrong?" Nanoha asked.
"N-Nothing! Nothing at all!!" Koji waved his hands.
"Okay..." She said and continued to walk, along with everyone else.

Koji got closer to Maren, "W-who told you that?"
"Yui did...when we were trying them on." She replied.
He sighed, "As I thought..."
"But it was confirmed by Hayate-san and Shamal-san, so I thought it was true..." She explained.
"And they were involved as well..." Koji sighed again.

Grabbing Maren by her hand, they caught up with Yui and Treize.
"Yui!" He called her.
"acha...Onii-chan found out..." She said playfully.
"Yui don't pull such pranks on Maren!" He said with a red face.
"It wasn't just Maren-chan, Trei-chan isn't using them either..." She said, then turned to Treize, "ne?"
"un..." She nodded.

"Eh?" Koji's eye twitched, "Y-Yui!"
"datte~ That's the way it's worn." She smiled innocently.
"Y-Yui, d-don't tell me..." Koji stepped back.
"Hmm...I'll leave that to Onii-chan's imagination~" She stroke a pose and winked at him.
Koji couldn't even reply, his eye just twitched at the mere thought of it...
:heh::heh::heh:
*runs*
:D lol

AWESOME!!! That's great :D Ahhh Innocent indeed :D

I don't think Shamsel could answer that question himself :heh:. I'll extract that little explanation from his profile...

...Having detected the barrier, the nearest Bureau mages made haste to the scene in hopes of preventing anymore innocent deaths. As they neared the dark barrier, it cracked and exploded from the inside. All mages had a general understanding on barriers and their mechanics. They also knew that it would take a tremendous amount of magical power to destroy one by force, especially from the inside. Wasting no time, the mages converged on the scene. The smoking crater quickly drew their attention and they feared for the worst. They came upon the remains of the house and the corpses of the family. Further down the road, one of the Bureau mages found the boy unconscious with a smaller, smoking crater in front of him and the rogue mage no where in sight...



Thank you :blush:. It took me a while to write it and make it sound and express the feelings that I wanted. I will say that it was difficult to write as I rarely write from 1st Person POV, let alone tragic stuff like this. I like WAFF and Romance a lot better :nod:
The Book of Darkness? I had that little tid-bit in the background (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1200471&postcount=12998) section of his profile. Let me copy that section...

...After the TSAB confirmed the existence of the Book of Darkness in Japan, they tried all they could to keep that information under wraps and away from the general public. However, the amount of resources being diverted to the ‘backwater’ planet in addition to a few information leaks by TSAB personnel who were selling information for money, eventually caught the attention of numerous mages who had heard the Book of Darkness and the rumored limitless power it had.

Thus they set out for Earth in hopes of finding the owner of the Book of Darkness and acquiring the power for themselves before the TSAB. Realizing that the Book of Darkness would be possessed by someone with magical abilities, many began to deploy barriers as they hoped from one populated are to another to isolate and identify these people. Then they would attack their targets and kill them, believing that the Book of Darkness would be free for the taking once its owner was dead...

Booo I got ignored :p Oh well, you just confirmed what I was thinking anyways :D
So, no problems!

Truth? Only what the minds perceive of it.

In any case, freedom's subjective and..

Freedom only allows stupid people to be stupid.

Do it right, and I'll reward you with a choice of Bikini Dark Spica, or Dere Dark Spica... Private Messaged of course :D That way you could mock the rest of the pitiful mortals on this plane...

That was Bluecheesium. However, the post backlog as we know it didn't pick up until a few dozen pages later (in fact, back then the thread was pretty slow)

Was referring more to the "Erio-ness" of Koji as a young eligible shota :heh: But you're right :heh:
Yeah, that was probably around the time that I pitched in for the first time..:eyespin:

I wonder what happened to An Hero... maybe he couldn't get the net again back in Russia...

I've seen tshouryuu lurking somethings, but he hasn't posted in ages... IIRC, he stopped because he was getting annoyed at the haxx that was flying around in the thread. Pity though, My name is Tais was great comedey :D

Not much clue about the others unfortunatey..... But hopefully Fuyu will have some time when it's her holidays again to drop by for a while :D

@FlameSparkZ: :bow::bow::bow: at the Holloween pic!:D:D:D The outfits were very fitting!:D And nice scenario in the Knight's Trial as well.:D

@Evangelion Xgouki: Shamsel's past sure is very painful...:upset: I can hardly imagine how hard it would weigh on him.:upset:

@Saint X: Nice teasers.:D I'm really interested with those unhittable targets Nanoha and Keroko-chan are fighting.:D

I have basically closed my lid, but every so often I do click on "Last Page" and poke a periscope in. If Keroko's post wasn't #14841, and thus at the very top of a page, it is very likely I'd just have left without noticing the debate.

Noted.

This one to going out to LoweGear and USB :p We all know why I chose this song :D

Though it fits much better when Mai was still on a rampage... >.> No matter, there are always more girls out there to fill the bill...

Title: "Run Around" :D


Wesson: "Things. Are. Starting to accelerate into something
Never stopping always trouble bubbling NOW!"

Smith: "I. Think I'm getting dizzy, too much spinning
Page by page the plot is thickening quickening!"

Wesson: "It's getting... Too insane!"

Smith: "I'm trying to maintain!"

Both: "Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa!"


"You run around!
I run around!
We're all gonna run run run around!
You run around!
I run around!
We all do a run run run around!"


"It is getting closer, More intense, ever spinning
Twisting turning roller coaster!"

"Inch by inch the gap is closing, Pressure building, Temperature rising!"

"Higher and higher!"

"It's getting too crazy..."

"...I wish I could maybe!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa!"


Run run baby...
Run run baby...
Run run baby...
Run run baby...
Run run baby...
Run run baby...

"Like a rocket!"
"Like a rocket!"

"Never stopping!"
"You'll never stop it!"


"You run around!
I run around!
We're all gonna run run run around!
You run around!
I run around!
We all do a run run run around!
You run around! (You run around)
I run around!
We're all gonna run run run around!
You run around! (You run around)
I run around!
We all do a run run run around!"



VERY NICE PICK FOR A SONG!:D:D:D

Strange is it... For ZERO in Nightmare of Nunnaly to actually possess the Shiroki Kuro no Tsubasa that is possessed by Saga as well...

Just as planned. http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff133/onionethan/onion_Emoticons/060_.gif

How come any sort of Canon seems to work for you?!?!:frustrated::heh::eyespin:

Actually, I have a habit of soaking up on some random ideas to make a story, but somehow, I was having a huge writer's block this morning that I couldn't finish Chapter Four. I just looked at the computer screen for several minutes, wandered around for a bit, returned, and still get the block. >_>

Luckily, after dinner and a load of talks with friends (*wink* FieryAeon *wink*), the juice returned, or else, I need to extend the ETA. :p

Anyway, it's now 15K, and probably it will finish by next Saturday. :D

Can't wait!:D

And mind you, that much of words in a single chapter can be utterly ... boring.

I don't expect it to be boring.:p I like them long.:D

:heh:

Ok, I though of this a while ago, it's quite funny...:D
Maren can sometimes be very innocent :rolleyes:

Koji waited in the living room, sitting on the couch, with his hands resting on his knees.
"They sure are taking a lot of time..." He said as he tapped his finger on his knee.

Then the sound of steps were heard on the stairs near the living room.
"We're ready~" Yui said cheerfully.
"Oh..." Koji stood up speechless, as he looked at Yui, Maren and Treize wearing yukata for the festival.
"H-How does it look, Koji-sama?" Maren asked, embarrassed.

"A-Ah..." He snaped out, "It suits you...a lot."
Maren smiled softly, "Thank you."
"Onii-chan, how about me~" She spun around once.
"Cute as always." He replied. "And Treize too." He looked at her.
Treize nodded, "...Thank you."

"Shall we go?" Koji asked them.
"Yes~" Yui replied for everyone.
"Then let's go!" He threw a fist upwards.
"...go~" Treize copied Koji.


And so, they left the house and met up with everyone else to go to the festival.
They were having a lot of fun, but Koji couldn't help notice that Maren's behavior was unusual.
Maren was avoiding moving too much and her face was red.

As they returned from the festival, Koji approached Maren.
"Maren, is something wrong? Your face is red, do you have a cold?" Koji asked.
"No...it's these clothes..." She said shyly.
"Oh, you're not used to wearing a yukata, is that it?"

"W-well...it's a bit embarrassing..."
"Embarrassing, why?" Koji blinked.
Maren's face got redder and she fidgeted, "B-Because...you can't wear underwear with it..."
"...eh?...EH????" Koji shouted in surprise.

When Koji shouted, the group stopped walking and turned to them.
"Koji-kun, is something wrong?" Nanoha asked.
"N-Nothing! Nothing at all!!" Koji waved his hands.
"Okay..." She said and continued to walk, along with everyone else.

Koji got closer to Maren, "W-who told you that?"
"Yui did...when we were trying them on." She replied.
He sighed, "As I thought..."
"But it was confirmed by Hayate-san and Shamal-san, so I thought it was true..." She explained.
"And they were involved as well..." Koji sighed again.

Grabbing Maren by her hand, they caught up with Yui and Treize.
"Yui!" He called her.
"acha...Onii-chan found out..." She said playfully.
"Yui don't pull such pranks on Maren!" He said with a red face.
"It wasn't just Maren-chan, Trei-chan isn't using them either..." She said, then turned to Treize, "ne?"
"un..." She nodded.

"Eh?" Koji's eye twitched, "Y-Yui!"
"datte~ That's the way it's worn." She smiled innocently.
"Y-Yui, d-don't tell me..." Koji stepped back.
"Hmm...I'll leave that to Onii-chan's imagination~" She stroke a pose and winked at him.
Koji couldn't even reply, his eye just twitched at the mere thought of it...
:heh::heh::heh:

Maren was victimized...:uhoh::uhoh::eyespin::D:D:D

Nooooooo Proooooooblem....

Well, considering what they have in common (eyeglasses lovers), I suspect an exclusively secret world that only the three of them know. :uhoh: :uhoh: :uhoh:

On-the-spot profiles:
Logic-tan

Real name: Matilda McLeod (Terran; nationality: Irish)
Close friend of Frieda.
Belkan Knight's prolific computer expert.
Loves ice-cream and Irish music.
Suffers from arachnophobia.
Doesn't like rain (but frequently challenged by Frieda to pose as a priestess getting wet in rain. :uhoh: ).


Reason-tan

Real name: Asakura Keiko (Terran; nationality: Japanese)
Belkan Knight's official psychiatrist.
Silent intelligent type. (IQ: 180)
Can read people's mind and thought (think of Nanoverse version of Yakumo, since she can't read all minds :heh: )
Has a familiar cat named Iori.
Has an older (but simple-minded) sister named Saeko.


More of them coming soon. And do I suspect the Megane Trio? :uhoh: :uhoh:

You make it sound like it happens all the everytime Aurion interacts with females...:heh: C'mon! It was like this!

Hayate = Mind Game.:D
Almaria & Signum = Mock Battle. To win.
Reinforce 1 = She was trying to nuke him to oblivion.:heh::uhoh: Naturally, that should stop her from going on and on.:heh:
Satty's female OC's = "Don't disturb me while I use some serious mindf**k on Vincent.":heh:

Though I am curious about what do you mean by this helpless MOE bit.:confused: I know helplessness can be considered MOE by itself, but is what you mentioned some sort of upgrade? Can you explain?:heh:



Still, you can't deny the trend...

And re:Helpless MOE

I guess you could call it an upgrade.


Basically, Mel would take the whole "binding" thing and make it as MOE and INNOCENT as possible.

No Priestess Yakumo picture, though :sad: :heh: but this is the best I can do to depict Asakura as a Belkan priestess :D

Sorry, Lowe, no "priestess in rain" pictures for now. :p :uhoh: :heh:

That reminds me: if Freya is San & Aura is Runa, then should there be a Shiranui-san? :uhoh:

AWESOME Armor for Matilda there :eek::D:D:D

No priestess Yakumo? That's a shame... Though who says a priestess has to dress like a nun?

VERY NICE PICK FOR A SONG!:D:D:D
I remember that movie... Though I never got to watch the Japanese version...:upset:


Same here :heh:

But I did catch the Japanese version 4th movie with Paladin mode, the 5th and 6th movie with the Tamers... And a bit of the 7th movie about the Frontiers...

In my opinion, Tamers and Zero Two are the best of the lot... I especially like Tamers for it's dark theme near the end... Not crappy presudo-dark, but deep dark stuff, for kids anyway.

Just being a gentleman I know, your possessiveness is borne out of your devotion for her :)

Jeno: "I'm not possessive :frustrated: !! I just... I just..."

(Yes, they can be possessive)




Too bad :heh:



They're BOTH dark :frustrated:!

Alright, then, to complete the Gemini Sisters' Seto no Hanayome vibe, I present to you...

http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/93/1188317054223dn8.jpg
Name: Galatea (real name unknown)
Age: appears to be 19; actual creation date unknown
Birthday: unknown
Origin: 42nd Administered World -- Narulia
Affiliation: Lawful Good
Position/rank in TSAB: none
Height: 168cm
Weight: 42kg
Affiliation: The School
Rank: Class-A Senior Officer
Relationship: Aura (sister); Freya (sister); Poseidon (partner); Takeru (rival); Frieda Johansen (rival); Yutaro Wakamoto (former name: Phantom 21) (rival).
Eye colour: ruby
Hair colour: jet black
Magic system: Mid-Childa
Magic symbol: circle
Device name: Sao
Device type: Lost Logia - Unison Device
Device appearance:

(normal form) humanoid (height: 16cm; weight: 45kg; eye colour: purple)
(Combat Mode) Oxtongue Rifle
(Full Mode) Unison Armour (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weiss_Ritter)

Other devices: Roger (Automata, panda plush doll)
Appearance: see picture (left: Sao; right: Galatea)
Personalities: Galatea is often described by her opponents as ‘a cold-blooded woman who enjoys nothing more than the excitement of battle’ and her moniker “Black Witch” seems to suggest this. Despite her cold demeanours and her reputations, Galatea is in reality a warm-hearted woman who cares very much of her sisters. The reason she chooses not to display her emotion is to show people that unnecessary emotional breakdown can -- and will -- be very dangerous to one’s survival, although she admits “there is nothing wrong for a girl to cry”. She can tolerate alcohol and loves rice wine, even having the special talent to identify each product she takes.
Combat style: Galatea is exceptionally trained for long-range, hit-and-run combat style. She employs Sao’s full capability in its Combat Mode and uses her exceptionally accurate sniping technique to take out enemies from far away. Whenever possible, she will use Sao’s Unison Armour Mode to further take advantage of the Lost Logia’s firepower.
Possible voice actors:

(Galatea) Kitamura Eri (Shiranui Akeno, Seto no Hanayome)
(Sao) Kuwashima Houko (Clare, Claymore)
(Roger) Ueda Yuji (Mugi-maru, Nurse Witch Komugi-chan)

Notes:

Galatea has weak spot against MANLY man. This fact has been exploited a lot by Sao and Roger “to cheer up their somewhat cold master.”
Galatea spends her pastime making pottery and reading classical poetry.
Galatea’s conservative speech and mannerism suggest her (and probably the Gemini Sisters’) origin as a noble family member, although she doesn’t mind talking to people in casual language.
Sao is among a few Devices to have Unison Armour mode. The other Devices are Baron’s Bamidman, Maxim’s Trombe Dei and the Linebackers. It is believed that Armstrong’s device, Forneus, also possesses its own Unison Armour mode but it cannot be confirmed as no evidence of its usage exists.
Galatea’s name comes from the sea-nymph of the same name in Greek story ‘Acis and Galatea’.

THE GEMINI SISTERS II
CHAPTER 1

// Belkan Knights HQ //

Takeru dodged Signum’s attack and counter-fired with Schwarz Todd’s Rapid Fire. The Wolkenritter hastily jumped out of firing range and tossed a Hiryu Issen. The young gunslinger rolled across the floor and continued firing at Signum’s position, reloading the dual handguns in quick succession.

Outside the arena, the Gemini Sisters and Yutaro were watching the duel in amazement. Frieda was also present, monitoring Takeru’s progress with the help of the Belkan Knights’ psychiatrist and computer expert (both of whom, Kyoko Asakura and Matilda McLeod, happened to be her friends). The rest of the Wolkenritters were also there, cheering and rooting for Signum.

“Well, I didn’t know Takeru is a good combatant,” Yutaro commented.

“Of course he is,” Aura said and blushed. “Because he had captured my heart, I shall never run away from her no matter where I hide. He is my hunter…”

Freya could only sigh. She had nothing more to say regarding her twin sister’s obsession towards big gun, and she did not want to start an argument with her.

“Takeru’s performance has increased since he underwent the special training,” Kyoko spoke. “But he seems to be having a personality conflict of sorts.”

“Come on, Kyoko!” Matilda uttered. “You can’t be that serious. Takeru I know is always dead serious. Right, Frieda?”

The spectacled woman simply giggled. “We’ll see.”

“AH!”

Everybody turned back to the arena. Signum repelled Takeru’s melee attack and delivered a hard kick onto the boy’s torso in a counterattack manoeuvre. The boy was sent flying across the arena before he crashed on the floor.

“Takeru!” Aura gasped.

Signum approached Takeru, who was recovering from the attack. “What’s the matter, Takeru? You seem to be losing concentration,” she said and offered the boy her hand.

“I don’t know,” Takeru replied and was pulled up as he took the hand. “I thought I saw something flashing in my eyes, but I can’t understand.”

“That is only your illusion. Never lose your concentrate in fighting your opponent, or you will lose your life,” Signum replied and resumed her stance. “So, shall we resume?”

Takeru grinned and opened his Gun Kata pose. “Sure. Why not?”

The mock duel continued. Everyone continued their observation on the clash, commenting on each combatant’s ability and cooing at their exchanges of blows. Occasionally Zafira and Shamal shouted for Signum and flagged banners with her names, which was later followed by some knights who were a big fan of the Pink Cloud Knight.

“Does that mean Takeru is in love with that girl?”

“Impossible! I thought Takeru’s only into older woman!”

“But Erio said in his report that the girl… what’s her name? Aura? Ah, whatever! She gave him a kiss and told him not to forget it!”

(Aura overheard the conversation and hid her face in embarrassment. “They’re saying it out loud… hatsukashi…”)

“No freaking way! This is blasphemy!”

Takeru stopped. His concentration on the mock duel thwarted, he simply glared at the knights. His face was burning with embarrassment. The knights were embarrassing him in front of Riot Force 6. They were embarrassing him right in front of Yutaro and the Gemini Sisters.

Right in front of Aura.

“So does that mean…” The knights cheered and threw their fists high above their head. “OUR GUNSLINGER BOY HAS GROWN UP!! TAKERU! PIERCE THROUGH THE HEAVENS WITH YOUR BIG GUN! NOTHING IN THIS WORLD IS IMPOSSIBLE!”

“Hey, what do you think you’re doing?” Signum asked, and was promptly ignored as the knights continued cheering for their gunslinger boy.

“Meister?” Silberkugel asked.

Takeru closed his eyes. “…do it.”

“Ja. Panzer Faust Form.”

Panzer Faust Silberkugel killed “fan boy-mode” knights with Blitzkrieg: Kugelregen.

Yutaro and the Gemini Sisters looked at the charred remains of the knights. “Can we say, owned?” Yutaro said.

-x-x-x-x-x-

The woman remained silent. Having seated outside the mansion for the entire night, her only activity was to drink rice wine and recite classical Japanese poems. Her beauty was unspoken: silky hair flowing down her shoulders; ruby eyes that seemed to glitter with the stars; vibrant lips that seem to carve out a natural smile; her all-black dresses that simply added spice in her splendour.

A pink-haired maid came out of the mansion. “It’s getting late, Master. You should be going to sleep by now,” she reminded as she approached the woman. “What’s the matter?”

The black-haired woman shook her head. “It’s nothing,” she replied and gazed into the night sky. “But the stars… they brought in memories I thought I had forgotten,” she spoke and continued drinking rice wine.

“Now, now, Master,” the maid said and poured in another cup of rice wine into the ceramic cup the woman was holding. “It’s because you’re missing them, it is not? Besides it has been a long since they left this mansion, isn’t it?”

She chuckled. “I think I should pay my precious twin sisters a visit. What do you think, Sao?”

“I will follow whatever words you say, Master,” the maid replied.

“Well, then,” she said and finished the last of the rice wine. “What should we do first?”

No really, otherwise I wouldn't be asking.

Aaaaah sisters indeed :D:D:D:D:D:D

Siscon seems to be popular at the moment. :uhoh:

Actually, the backlog didn't even exist back in the first 20 pages or so... it was only when we started doing profile-fics that the Bluecheesium-infused backlog spiralled out of control :heh:

And the backlog growth depends on subject... like the CinquexErio one :heh::D

Already happened, although it was Nanoha instead of Keroko. :uhoh:

“Hikki-chama…”

He glanced up. A sinister grin was the first thing he saw, before his body was strangled by Nanoha’s sealing bind. “What the hell was that for?!” he screamed and writhed to get free from the bind.

Nanoha cackled. Slowly she crawled towards him, mischievous smile carved upon her face, as she murmured his name in hoarse breath. She stopped crawling, her face barely an inch away from his. “Hikki-chama… do I look cute?” she mumbled, hiccuping between each sentence.

“Nanoha, you’re drunk…” he gulped.

Nanoha giggled. Her arms crawled up his body and came to rest on his chest. She traced an imaginary circle on it, hiccupping again as a result of the strong brew she consumed. “You do find me cute, don’t you?” she whispered and began encircling her arms about his neck. Her gaze became dangerously seductive, and her voice became even huskier. “Say something… ne?”

Some Notes
Notes:

Galatea is afraid of cockroaches.
Galatea has weak spot against MANLY man. This fact has been exploited a lot by Sao and Roger “to cheer up their somewhat cold master.”
Galatea spends her pastime making pottery and reading classical poetry.
Sao is among a few Devices to have Unison Armour mode. The other Devices are Baron’s Bamidman, Maxim’s Trombe Dei and the Linebackers. It is believed that Armstrong’s device, Forneus, also possesses its own Unison Armour mode but it cannot be confirmed as no evidence of its usage exists.
Galatea’s name comes from the sea-nymph of the same name in Greek story ‘Acis and Galatea’.




MANLY MEN huh?

S&W: CHANCE!!!!!!!!

I think I'm beginning to like doing Galatea-oneesama's story. :D :D

THE GEMINI SISTERS II
CHAPTER 1

// Belkan Knights HQ //

Takeru dodged Signum’s attack and counter-fired with Schwarz Todd’s Rapid Fire. The Wolkenritter hastily jumped out of firing range and tossed a Hiryu Issen. The young gunslinger rolled across the floor and continued firing at Signum’s position, reloading the dual handguns in quick succession.

Outside the arena, the Gemini Sisters and Yutaro were watching the duel in amazement. Frieda was also present, monitoring Takeru’s progress with the help of the Belkan Knights’ psychiatrist and computer expert (both of whom, Kyoko Asakura and Matilda McLeod, happened to be her friends). The rest of the Wolkenritters were also there, cheering and rooting for Signum.

“Well, I didn’t know Takeru is a good combatant,” Yutaro commented.

“Of course he is,” Aura said and blushed. “Because he had captured my heart, I shall never run away from her no matter where I hide. He is my hunter…”

Freya could only sigh. She had nothing more to say regarding her twin sister’s obsession towards big gun, and she did not want to start an argument with her.

“Takeru’s performance has increased since he underwent the special training,” Kyoko spoke. “But he seems to be having a personality conflict of sorts.”

“Come on, Kyoko!” Matilda uttered. “You can’t be that serious. Takeru I know is always dead serious. Right, Frieda?”

The spectacled woman simply giggled. “We’ll see.”

“AH!”

Everybody turned back to the arena. Signum repelled Takeru’s melee attack and delivered a hard kick onto the boy’s torso in a counterattack manoeuvre. The boy was sent flying across the arena before he crashed on the floor.

“Takeru!” Aura gasped.

Signum approached Takeru, who was recovering from the attack. “What’s the matter, Takeru? You seem to be losing concentration,” she said and offered the boy her hand.

“I don’t know,” Takeru replied and was pulled up as he took the hand. “I thought I saw something flashing in my eyes, but I can’t understand.”

“That is only your illusion. Never lose your concentrate in fighting your opponent, or you will lose your life,” Signum replied and resumed her stance. “So, shall we resume?”

Takeru grinned and opened his Gun Kata pose. “Sure. Why not?”

The mock duel continued. Everyone continued their observation on the clash, commenting on each combatant’s ability and cooing at their exchanges of blows. Occasionally Zafira and Shamal shouted for Signum and flagged banners with her names, which was later followed by some knights who were a big fan of the Pink Cloud Knight.

“Does that mean Takeru is in love with that girl?”

“Impossible! I thought Takeru’s only into older woman!”

“But Erio said in his report that the girl… what’s her name? Aura? Ah, whatever! She gave him a kiss and told him not to forget it!”

(Aura overheard the conversation and hid her face in embarrassment. “They’re saying it out loud… hatsukashi…”)

“No freaking way! This is blasphemy!”

Takeru stopped. His concentration on the mock duel thwarted, he simply glared at the knights. His face was burning with embarrassment. The knights were embarrassing him in front of Riot Force 6. They were embarrassing him right in front of Yutaro and the Gemini Sisters.

Right in front of Aura.

“So does that mean…” The knights cheered and threw their fists high above their head. “OUR GUNSLINGER BOY HAS GROWN UP!! TAKERU! PIERCE THROUGH THE HEAVENS WITH YOUR BIG GUN! NOTHING IN THIS WORLD IS IMPOSSIBLE!”

“Hey, what do you think you’re doing?” Signum asked, and was promptly ignored as the knights continued cheering for their gunslinger boy.

“Meister?” Silberkugel asked.

Takeru closed his eyes. “…do it.”

“Ja. Panzer Faust Form.”

Panzer Faust Silberkugel killed “fan boy-mode” knights with Blitzkrieg: Kugelregen.

Yutaro and the Gemini Sisters looked at the charred remains of the knights. “Can we say, owned?” Yutaro said.

-x-x-x-x-x-

The woman remained silent. Having seated outside the mansion for the entire night, her only activity was to drink rice wine and recite classical Japanese poems. Her beauty was unspoken: silky hair flowing down her shoulders; ruby eyes that seemed to glitter with the stars; vibrant lips that seem to carve out a natural smile; her all-black dresses that simply added spice in her splendour.

A pink-haired maid came out of the mansion. “It’s getting late, Master. You should be going to sleep by now,” she reminded as she approached the woman. “What’s the matter?”

The black-haired woman shook her head. “It’s nothing,” she replied and gazed into the night sky. “But the stars… they brought in memories I thought I had forgotten,” she spoke and continued drinking rice wine.

“Now, now, Master,” the maid said and poured in another cup of rice wine into the ceramic cup the woman was holding. “Is it because you’re remembering them? It’s been a long since they left this mention, isn’t it?”

She chuckled. “I think I should pay my precious twin sisters a visit. What do you think, Sao?”

“I will follow whatever words you say, Master,” the maid replied.

“Well, then,” she said and finished the last of the rice wine. “What should we do first?”


Even here, the spectators are never safe :heh::heh::heh:

RAWR!! ROARING BACKLOG SMASHER!!


Actually, I have a habit of soaking up on some random ideas to make a story, but somehow, I was having a huge writer's block this morning that I couldn't finish Chapter Four. I just looked at the computer screen for several minutes, wandered around for a bit, returned, and still get the block. >_>

Luckily, after dinner and a load of talks with friends (*wink* FieryAeon *wink*), the juice returned, or else, I need to extend the ETA. :p

Anyway, it's now 15K, and probably it will finish by next Saturday. :D

And mind you, that much of words in a single chapter can be utterly ... boring.

Huh? So now we are responsible for your juice resupplying? Then shall we go for a steamboat dinner every time you get writer's block? :heh:


Have not watched it. :heh:

*goes to FieryAeon to borrow more DVDs*

Seto no Hanayome eh? The fansub group I'm downloading from is only halfway through. :uhoh: (I have a bad habit of sticking to one group once I start downloading a series from them and find it good.)


Which are not uncommonly for heroines. :heh:

Most notably, a lot of them fall for GAR men.

Never thought I would see the words "ah beng" here. :heh:
Its not hard to pick up the common things they say, when you are in contact with them so often on the private DotA server I used to play on.

True I suppose. But if one isn't flesh and blood, e.g cyborg,etc; one probably will not have the emotional or mental capacity to enjoy eternity/forever anyway. :rolleyes:

Because I'm that leet, deal with it :p


Ouch....:mad: That's exactly the kind of things that rile up the ah bengs here even more. I know because I use to have to deal with them on a daily basis. :eyespin:

Jean: He did. :heh:
Sylvia: Lost of words. :uhoh:


Sorry, not the question, I meant what do you mean by 'Chaos-style' ?
Overly Suggestive Works. :D


:heh:

Ok, I though of this a while ago, it's quite funny...:D
Maren can sometimes be very innocent :rolleyes:

Koji waited in the living room, sitting on the couch, with his hands resting on his knees.
"They sure are taking a lot of time..." He said as he tapped his finger on his knee.

Then the sound of steps were heard on the stairs near the living room.
"We're ready~" Yui said cheerfully.
"Oh..." Koji stood up speechless, as he looked at Yui, Maren and Treize wearing yukata for the festival.
"H-How does it look, Koji-sama?" Maren asked, embarrassed.

"A-Ah..." He snaped out, "It suits you...a lot."
Maren smiled softly, "Thank you."
"Onii-chan, how about me~" She spun around once.
"Cute as always." He replied. "And Treize too." He looked at her.
Treize nodded, "...Thank you."

"Shall we go?" Koji asked them.
"Yes~" Yui replied for everyone.
"Then let's go!" He threw a fist upwards.
"...go~" Treize copied Koji.


And so, they left the house and met up with everyone else to go to the festival.
They were having a lot of fun, but Koji couldn't help notice that Maren's behavior was unusual.
Maren was avoiding moving too much and her face was red.

As they returned from the festival, Koji approached Maren.
"Maren, is something wrong? Your face is red, do you have a cold?" Koji asked.
"No...it's these clothes..." She said shyly.
"Oh, you're not used to wearing a yukata, is that it?"

"W-well...it's a bit embarrassing..."
"Embarrassing, why?" Koji blinked.
Maren's face got redder and she fidgeted, "B-Because...you can't wear underwear with it..."
"...eh?...EH????" Koji shouted in surprise.

When Koji shouted, the group stopped walking and turned to them.
"Koji-kun, is something wrong?" Nanoha asked.
"N-Nothing! Nothing at all!!" Koji waved his hands.
"Okay..." She said and continued to walk, along with everyone else.

Koji got closer to Maren, "W-who told you that?"
"Yui did...when we were trying them on." She replied.
He sighed, "As I thought..."
"But it was confirmed by Hayate-san and Shamal-san, so I thought it was true..." She explained.
"And they were involved as well..." Koji sighed again.

Grabbing Maren by her hand, they caught up with Yui and Treize.
"Yui!" He called her.
"acha...Onii-chan found out..." She said playfully.
"Yui don't pull such pranks on Maren!" He said with a red face.
"It wasn't just Maren-chan, Trei-chan isn't using them either..." She said, then turned to Treize, "ne?"
"un..." She nodded.

"Eh?" Koji's eye twitched, "Y-Yui!"
"datte~ That's the way it's worn." She smiled innocently.
"Y-Yui, d-don't tell me..." Koji stepped back.
"Hmm...I'll leave that to Onii-chan's imagination~" She stroke a pose and winked at him.
Koji couldn't even reply, his eye just twitched at the mere thought of it...
:heh::heh::heh:
*runs*
I don't know about yutakas, but it is true that traditionally girls don't wear underwear under their kimonos. Though I'm sure that's changed in recent years, except for girls that are going out of their way for a "special night" with their boyfriends. :uhoh:


Thank you :blush:. It took me a while to write it and make it sound and express the feelings that I wanted. I will say that it was difficult to write as I rarely write from 1st Person POV, let alone tragic stuff like this. I like WAFF and Romance a lot better :nod:
The Book of Darkness? I had that little tid-bit in the background (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1200471&postcount=12998) section of his profile. Let me copy that section...

...After the TSAB confirmed the existence of the Book of Darkness in Japan, they tried all they could to keep that information under wraps and away from the general public. However, the amount of resources being diverted to the ‘backwater’ planet in addition to a few information leaks by TSAB personnel who were selling information for money, eventually caught the attention of numerous mages who had heard the Book of Darkness and the rumored limitless power it had.

Thus they set out for Earth in hopes of finding the owner of the Book of Darkness and acquiring the power for themselves before the TSAB. Realizing that the Book of Darkness would be possessed by someone with magical abilities, many began to deploy barriers as they hoped from one populated are to another to isolate and identify these people. Then they would attack their targets and kill them, believing that the Book of Darkness would be free for the taking once its owner was dead...

Ok that makes a lot of sense. So basically the rogue mages detected that Shamsel's family had magical potential and thought it possible that the BoD was with them. Kinda tragic to have your family killed because of moronic rogue mages.

Version 2.0 of the History of the Order of Freelance Mages is more or less done. I'll be making some edits, of course, but this is probably the base I'm gonna use to make my characters.



In the early days of the TSAB's expansion and influence over their little slice of galaxy, many of their ships were lost to the void. Sometimes AI would malfunction; sometimes a small error in the calculations would bounce a ship into a star or a supernova; and sometimes, the ship's crew would simply revolt and have to be brought down by other nearby TSAB ships.

In this endless void known as space, one ship, the cruiser Ramza, and its sister ship, the Alma, were travelling together through this endless void. They had jumped just ouside of a star system known at the time as Non-Administered System 457, and was under observation. Two planets within the system seemed to be in a constant state of war. Using non-magical, advanced technology (though not quite on the level of the TSAB), they fought each other tooth and nail. Laser cannons the size of tractor-trailers fired at each other through the void; space fighters weaved between the blasts and fired missiles and railgun slugs at the other in a constant dance of death; even the planets themselves seemed to be at odds with each other. The Ramza's crew saw that the orbits of the planets were oddly-shaped: In fact, the orbits intercepted each other, and it was a wonder the two planets hadn't collided. The planets themselves, due to the odd pull of both the system's local star and their own planetary mass, plus years of war, had taken a toll on the shape and face of the celestial bodies. Not only were they raked with scars from weapons, they seemed to be pulled and pushed into an odd shape that was less of a sphere or an oval and more of a really massive asteroid.

In effect, the planets were tearing each other apart. Apparently, this applied to the citizens as well. Intercepted radio transmissions revealed that the citizens were in a constant state of hatred at the other planet. The peoples' homeworld, Erusia, and the other planet, Sotoa, hated each other so much that their hate was palatable, even from this far in space. The crews of the TSAB ships were slightly disgusted at this, but made a note of the planets' location in their logs. Assuming that both planets still existed in a few decades, maybe they would be ready for administration, and peace would rule this system.

And then the Ramza Incident happened.


It wasn't really anything major, at least not to the ships involved. In the early days of the TSAB, ships malfunctioned all the time for one reason or another. Sometimes the magitech reactors powering the ships would malfunction and go berserk, sometimes shutting down permenantly... or sometimes exploding in a violent flash of light and heat. Sometimes the AI would stop functioning, perhaps due to a virus or simply because at the time advanced AI was still in its early stages. Sometimes the crew would revolt, or something decidedly human would occur.

In these cases, the TSAB had certain regulations set up. Since most ships were designed for defense and not salvage, few except the biggest of ships had tractor beams loaded. In the event of a reactor malfunction, the crew would evacuate the ship and get as far away from it as possible before it exploded - or if it didn't. In the event of something else, the crew would attempt to send out a distress signal. In the event of a distress signal being unusable, they would again evacuate to the nearest TSAB ship. It was why scouts traveled in groups of two, and why those ships were always undermanned.

It's not for certain what happened to the Ramza back then; perhaps it was a reactor malfunction, or maybe the AI tried to kill everyone, or maybe something else happened. No one knows for sure. All that's known is that something happened, and when it happened, the captain deemed it wise to drop everything and run for the Alma. Certain precautions that should have been taken weren't due to neglect. For example, the AI's database should have been wiped out, but in whatever panic that occured this was not done. Any and all Devices were also supposed to have been taken off of the ship, but again, this was not done. Instead, all that occured was a mass evacuation to the accompanying ship as mentioned in the log... then nothing. Shortly after this, the Alma also disappeared into the void of space. They haven't been seen since.

Whatever happened, though, and the crew's reaction to it, would cause a shift in the way war worked for the people of Un-Administered System 457. The Ramza, despite being left derelict and drifting in space, nonetheless succumbed to the star's faint, but existant, gravitational pull. The ship slowly made its way to the warring planets. In a year's time, it literally drifted into the middle of a large-scale firefight between both sides.

This was the Ramza Incident. When two warring sides stopped fighting when something alien, something inhuman to them, drifted into their battle. Their lasers and missiles never even hurt the vessel, its armor or shields too thick and hard for them to penetrate. Both sides conveted the strange craft as they sent their salvage ships after it, using their tractor beams to hold it in place as scientists from both sides were forced into the ship, to uncover its secrets. With their limited knowledge, they couldn't have, shouldn't have learned anything from the Ramza.

But then, the planet was supposed to have been found. It was supposed to have been recorded. But it never was.

And over one-hundred years later, the fruits of constant research and attention would reveal to the people of Un-Administered System 457 the secrets of this vessel.


It had been a century since the Ramza Incident. The place where System 457 lay was at the edge of the Yellow Zone now, far away from the eyes of the TSAB.

It had taken them a hundred years of time and research and effort, but finally, the people of System 457 were unified. They had taken the time and the effort, over five generations, to take apart and put back together the Ramza, learning everything they could about it. They learned the Mid-Childan language, learned how to use Devices (well, some of them did. Roughly 17% of the collective population of the system was theorized to have the ability to use the Devices), and even learned how to make crude versions of the Ramza itself. Somewhere along the way, they ripped out the Magitech reactor and placed within the ship a block of standard fusion reactors, then, after they gleaned everything they could from the AI, they erased it the best they could and installed their own within the ship. Putting their best crew on it, they made the ship, the "Erusian Flag Ship Berkut", theirs. It wasn't perfect by any means, but to them, it was the best they had.

Meanwhile, the TSAB had been sending out ships to find their lost ones in an effort to make sure no damage had been done. Just in case, they were sending fleets of ships, five cruisers apiece, to the far reaches of the galaxy. Many ships were recovered in this method - or pieces of ships. One fleet, the 5th Fleet, stumbled upon System 457 in their travels, having learned of the missing Ramza.

What greeted them was a much different sight than what had greeted them before. Instead of a constant war raging between two worlds, instead there was peace. Both worlds united under one banner, and despite their large warfleets, they seemed to be unassuming in appearance. The fleet approached, having detected the Ramza within the orbit of one of the worlds. As soon as they were in sensor range, they were contacted by the Captain of the former Ramza.

This was First Contact for these people, known as Erusians. They were cautious but willing to listen.

It was for this reason that maybe there was a chance for what the future held for the Erusian people to change. During the conversation between the two captains (the Erusians had even taken Mid-Childan as their second or third language over the century), they agreed that a peace conference from the TSAB would be sent, and the fate of the Ramza and the Erusians would be discussed. The 5th Fleet left without worry.

The fleet would return a year later, this time with a sixth ship. This ship, a ship of peace, launched a shuttle to the Erusian homeworld. Together, they met with a delegation from the Erusians, and together, the two groups began to talk about peace.

But there was a problem. The translation of Erusian to Mid-Childan was not perfect. Many words were misused or mistaken. One of these words would spark a conflict that would mean the end of the Erusians as a free people. That word, was "Administration." This word was mistaken, to the Erusians. To them, it meant something in their language.

Delat' Nevol'nikov. Roughly Translated: "Enslavement."

The TSAB delegation never made it off the planet. After a heated argument, the leaders of Erusia made a grave mistake; they had the delegation killed. The TSAB peace officers had not brought their Devices with them. Had they done so, they may have made it back alive.

Shortly after the delegation was killed, the 5th Fleet noticed that at one point or another, they had become surrounded by Erusian warships. The leader of the fleet quickly sent out the order to raise shields, but by the time the message was relayed, the former Ramza and all the battleships of the Erusian fleet opened fire.

A century had been kind to both sides. For the Erusians, it saw a steady increase in their knowledge and their design of war. Against the TSAB, however, it was an outdated concept, the Ramza was. Nominally, one ship like the Ramza taking on its descendant would be a heated, but the victor would be easy to determine. However, even a TSAB ship cannot withstand the sheer force that twenty battleship-sized weapons have on her hulls. One of the 5th Fleet's warships were quickly lost to the planetary weapons.

This sparked a quick battle between both sides. Even with their older technology, the Erusians put up a sizeable threat due to one thing alone: Sheer numbers. The Erusians had been bred for war, it seemed. For every destroyer that would be swatted aside, a cruiser would take its place. The Erusians knew that, individually, there was no way they could win. However, if they directed their fire consistently on one ship, it would go down. They may not have had Magitech for their ships (that was limited to the Devices found onboard the Ramza itself; as of that time, they still only had a limited understanding of the Devices themselves, only the results), but they had weapons they had been refining for centuries. The Erusians themselves lost 12 ships in that conflict. The TSAB lost four out of six by the time they decided to get help.


The TSAB quickly came to a conclusion on how to deal with something like this. They were going to subjugate and take over Erusia in retaliation for what they had done. They amassed an equal number of warships compared to what Erusia had.

Erusia had approximately five-hundred ships of various ages and sizes, ranging from ships that were active when the Ramza drifted into orbit to knockoff versions of the Ramza itself. Each ship bristled with weaponry; it seemed that to the Erusians, location was no object. They were extremely heavily armed, compared to the TSAB's more modest but more advanced arms.

The TSAB wasnted this battle over and quickly. They amassed three fleets of warships, approximately fifty ships apiece. Then they assembled a fourth fleet, one primarily filled with troop transports, to land on the Erusian world and take it over from the ground.

This took time. By the time the gathering of the fleet was over, the year was MC056. Among the people involved were Admiral Graham and a young Lindy Harlown, along with a few select Enforcer Units and the last users of Belkan magic. The numbers were heavily lopsided - 150 warships of cruiser and destroyer class versus 200 Erusian warships.

The combined TSAB warped in on the dawn of June MC056.

War began with a flash. Both sides instantly raised shields and begun to fight each other. The Erusians were less advanced than the TSAB, but from their inception into the Navy the average Erusian was taught centuries of fighting strategies and tactics. This, along with holding their strategy of destroy-one-ship-at-a-time, was actually a threat to the TSAB. A few barrages of weaponry would rupture and destroy shields, and another few would cause the hull to leak and crack under pressure.

But this time it was the TSAB that had advantage of numbers. Partway through the fight, three more fleets for the TSAB had warped in compared to the one for the Erusians. It was at this point, when reinforcements arrived, that the TSAB sent the Erusians a message.

"You can't win. But there are alternatives to fighting. Surrender now, and we can save countless lives."

Less than 30 seconds later, the Fleet Commander for the Erusians responded.

"An Erusian would die rather than surrender. We will fight until the last possible ship is destroyed!"

And this they did.

It took hours. Both sides fought each other down, destroying ships everywhere. The void of space was scattered with mixed TSAB and Erusian ship parts. More reinforcements for both sides came, and it wasn't long before the Erusians were outnumbered 3 to 1... then 5 to 1... then 10 to 1.

Eventually, it all came down to one ship: the Berkut. As two TSAB Cruisers flanked it, they were offered one last chance of surrender.

"No harm will come to the crew." They promised/lied. "If you surrender now, we will not invade your homeworld."

And then, agonizing silence. It seemed like the Erusians were going to agree; the Berkut powered down her battered shields, lowered her dead/empty weapons, released a few escape pods toward the planet below, and brought the engines to a full stop. Soon, a transmission opened to the two flagships flanking it. The Fleet Commander smiled to them bitterly.

"Didn't I tell you? We would rather die!"

Within the bowels of the Ramza/Berkut, the eight blocks of Fusion reactors overheated. Eight blocks of fusion reactors were simultaneously forced to detonate. The Ramza/Berkut glowed bright white, and before they could react, the Berkut exploded.

Despite all their technology, a point-blank Fusion explosion is still extremely powerful. Shields crumpled, hull melted, and the last known Erusian ship detonated in a blaze of fury, taking with it two TSAB flagships.

The numbers were counted. Counting the reinforcemnts, the Erusians had whittled the TSAB to 3/4s their number. They were down to a total of 297 ships. Of course, the Erusian ships numbered at 100% destruction... all 825 of them.

This is all of 2.0 for now. I haven't quite covered the landside of the war.
Suffice to say I think this is a more viable solution to the war. It's a far more "realistic" answer to the battle. The TSAB would inevitably have taken losses, but the Erusians would have suffered more.

But it requires Nagasumi a victim - in this case, Yutaro, to drink T3H POTION to achieve the desired effect. :uhoh:

Now where did Liana put that bottle? <_<

Even here, the spectators are never safe :heh::heh::heh:

Looking forward to Galatea meeting her sisters soon :D

Anyone can pick up a weapon and blast away. I prefer to be more... subtle. It's much more satisfying to see an enemy collapse while thinking he has won. Untill the very last moment, that is.

Version 2.0 of the History of the Order of Freelance Mages is more or less done. I'll be making some edits, of course, but this is probably the base I'm gonna use to make my characters.



In the early days of the TSAB's expansion and influence over their little slice of galaxy, many of their ships were lost to the void. Sometimes AI would malfunction; sometimes a small error in the calculations would bounce a ship into a star or a supernova; and sometimes, the ship's crew would simply revolt and have to be brought down by other nearby TSAB ships.

In this endless void known as space, one ship, the cruiser Ramza, and its sister ship, the Alma, were travelling together through this endless void. They had jumped just ouside of a star system known at the time as Non-Administered System 457, and was under observation. Two planets within the system seemed to be in a constant state of war. Using non-magical, advanced technology (though not quite on the level of the TSAB), they fought each other tooth and nail. Laser cannons the size of tractor-trailers fired at each other through the void; space fighters weaved between the blasts and fired missiles and railgun slugs at the other in a constant dance of death; even the planets themselves seemed to be at odds with each other. The Ramza's crew saw that the orbits of the planets were oddly-shaped: In fact, the orbits intercepted each other, and it was a wonder the two planets hadn't collided. The planets themselves, due to the odd pull of both the system's local star and their own planetary mass, plus years of war, had taken a toll on the shape and face of the celestial bodies. Not only were they raked with scars from weapons, they seemed to be pulled and pushed into an odd shape that was less of a sphere or an oval and more of a really massive asteroid.

In effect, the planets were tearing each other apart. Apparently, this applied to the citizens as well. Intercepted radio transmissions revealed that the citizens were in a constant state of hatred at the other planet. The peoples' homeworld, Erusia, and the other planet, Sotoa, hated each other so much that their hate was palatable, even from this far in space. The crews of the TSAB ships were slightly disgusted at this, but made a note of the planets' location in their logs. Assuming that both planets still existed in a few decades, maybe they would be ready for administration, and peace would rule this system.

And then the Ramza Incident happened.


It wasn't really anything major, at least not to the ships involved. In the early days of the TSAB, ships malfunctioned all the time for one reason or another. Sometimes the magitech reactors powering the ships would malfunction and go berserk, sometimes shutting down permenantly... or sometimes exploding in a violent flash of light and heat. Sometimes the AI would stop functioning, perhaps due to a virus or simply because at the time advanced AI was still in its early stages. Sometimes the crew would revolt, or something decidedly human would occur.

In these cases, the TSAB had certain regulations set up. Since most ships were designed for defense and not salvage, few except the biggest of ships had tractor beams loaded. In the event of a reactor malfunction, the crew would evacuate the ship and get as far away from it as possible before it exploded - or if it didn't. In the event of something else, the crew would attempt to send out a distress signal. In the event of a distress signal being unusable, they would again evacuate to the nearest TSAB ship. It was why scouts traveled in groups of two, and why those ships were always undermanned.

It's not for certain what happened to the Ramza back then; perhaps it was a reactor malfunction, or maybe the AI tried to kill everyone, or maybe something else happened. No one knows for sure. All that's known is that something happened, and when it happened, the captain deemed it wise to drop everything and run for the Alma. Certain precautions that should have been taken weren't due to neglect. For example, the AI's database should have been wiped out, but in whatever panic that occured this was not done. Any and all Devices were also supposed to have been taken off of the ship, but again, this was not done.

They haven't been seen since.

Interesting this new version is. Alot of happenstance and unknowns, but still that's how most of recorded history would read. And also the interesting part about the mistranslation leading to the war.

But then it requires Freya to sing the Song of Heroes. :uhoh:

But then, again, what is NaGARsumi Yutaro's specialty? :uhoh:

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Exactly what'll be this School Girls combo attack?! :eek::uhoh:
I'm only making wild guesses. After all, Banpresto never expanded more on the School Girls, do they? :uhoh:

But then nothing is safe from my hand. :naughty: :uhoh:

Ah sou ka...

FORGIVE ME FOR MY LACK OF FAITH!!!! :bow::bow::bow:

How about wet-dripping-tight-hugging-clothes-Yakumo?

:D:D:D
WILL DO!!!

*runs from Tenma*

Depends on you. The first one would be Most Explosive though :uhoh::uhoh::uhoh:
:uhoh: :uhoh: And in the end it would cause everyone to root for Mistress Galatea, and mafia leaders to mysteriously support her. :uhoh: :uhoh:

That he has :heh:

I don't think most of the names have been used, and I think Altea is a good name to use. :nod:

AWESOME!!! That's great :D Ahhh Innocent indeed :D
Yeah :heh:

All you have to do is to 'pretend' you know where you're going, and end up lost with her.. .Works all the time!
Right...:heh:

And then "stumble" upon an "abandoned cottage" conveniently filled with everything you need :nod:

That's an idea :)

But they're still inexperience, so keep it simple...
Actually...since it was September by the end of the JS Incident, and these fesivals only happen in the end of Summer, this would be in MC076 :heh:

We also don't know what's the time gap between the graduation in April and the Epilogue where everyone has gone their own way :heh:

I don't know about yutakas, but it is true that traditionally girls don't wear underwear under their kimonos. Though I'm sure that's changed in recent years, except for girls that are going out of their way for a "special night" with their boyfriends. :uhoh:
Yukatas and kimonos are pretty much the same thing, actually I think yukatas are cooler than kimonos, since I only hear the characters mention yukata during the summer :heh:

THE GEMINI SISTERS II
CHAPTER 1

// Belkan Knights HQ //

Takeru dodged Signum’s attack and counter-fired with Schwarz Todd’s Rapid Fire. The Wolkenritter hastily jumped out of firing range and tossed a Hiryu Issen. The young gunslinger rolled across the floor and continued firing at Signum’s position, reloading the dual handguns in quick succession.

Outside the arena, the Gemini Sisters and Yutaro were watching the duel in amazement. Frieda was also present, monitoring Takeru’s progress with the help of the Belkan Knights’ psychiatrist and computer expert (both of whom, Kyoko Asakura and Matilda McLeod, happened to be her friends). The rest of the Wolkenritters were also there, cheering and rooting for Signum.

“Well, I didn’t know Takeru is a good combatant,” Yutaro commented.

“Of course he is,” Aura said and blushed. “Because he had captured my heart, I shall never run away from her no matter where I hide. He is my hunter…”

Freya could only sigh. She had nothing more to say regarding her twin sister’s obsession towards big gun, and she did not want to start an argument with her.

“Takeru’s performance has increased since he underwent the special training,” Kyoko spoke. “But he seems to be having a personality conflict of sorts.”

“Come on, Kyoko!” Matilda uttered. “You can’t be that serious. Takeru I know is always dead serious. Right, Frieda?”

The spectacled woman simply giggled. “We’ll see.”

“AH!”

Everybody turned back to the arena. Signum repelled Takeru’s melee attack and delivered a hard kick onto the boy’s torso in a counterattack manoeuvre. The boy was sent flying across the arena before he crashed on the floor.

“Takeru!” Aura gasped.

Signum approached Takeru, who was recovering from the attack. “What’s the matter, Takeru? You seem to be losing concentration,” she said and offered the boy her hand.

“I don’t know,” Takeru replied and was pulled up as he took the hand. “I thought I saw something flashing in my eyes, but I can’t understand.”

“That is only your illusion. Never lose your concentrate in fighting your opponent, or you will lose your life,” Signum replied and resumed her stance. “So, shall we resume?”

Takeru grinned and opened his Gun Kata pose. “Sure. Why not?”

The mock duel continued. Everyone continued their observation on the clash, commenting on each combatant’s ability and cooing at their exchanges of blows. Occasionally Zafira and Shamal shouted for Signum and flagged banners with her names, which was later followed by some knights who were a big fan of the Pink Cloud Knight.

“Does that mean Takeru is in love with that girl?”

“Impossible! I thought Takeru’s only into older woman!”

“But Erio said in his report that the girl… what’s her name? Aura? Ah, whatever! She gave him a kiss and told him not to forget it!”

(Aura overheard the conversation and hid her face in embarrassment. “They’re saying it out loud… hatsukashi…”)

“No freaking way! This is blasphemy!”

Takeru stopped. His concentration on the mock duel thwarted, he simply glared at the knights. His face was burning with embarrassment. The knights were embarrassing him in front of Riot Force 6. They were embarrassing him right in front of Yutaro and the Gemini Sisters.

Right in front of Aura.

“So does that mean…” The knights cheered and threw their fists high above their head. “OUR GUNSLINGER BOY HAS GROWN UP!! TAKERU! PIERCE THROUGH THE HEAVENS WITH YOUR BIG GUN! NOTHING IN THIS WORLD IS IMPOSSIBLE!”

“Hey, what do you think you’re doing?” Signum asked, and was promptly ignored as the knights continued cheering for their gunslinger boy.

“Meister?” Silberkugel asked.

Takeru closed his eyes. “…do it.”

“Ja. Panzer Faust Form.”

Panzer Faust Silberkugel killed “fan boy-mode” knights with Blitzkrieg: Kugelregen.

Yutaro and the Gemini Sisters looked at the charred remains of the knights. “Can we say, owned?” Yutaro said.

-x-x-x-x-x-

The woman remained silent. Having seated outside the mansion for the entire night, her only activity was to drink rice wine and recite classical Japanese poems. Her beauty was unspoken: silky hair flowing down her shoulders; ruby eyes that seemed to glitter with the stars; vibrant lips that seem to carve out a natural smile; her all-black dresses that simply added spice in her splendour.

A pink-haired maid came out of the mansion. “It’s getting late, Master. You should be going to sleep by now,” she reminded as she approached the woman. “What’s the matter?”

The black-haired woman shook her head. “It’s nothing,” she replied and gazed into the night sky. “But the stars… they brought in memories I thought I had forgotten,” she spoke and continued drinking rice wine.

“Now, now, Master,” the maid said and poured in another cup of rice wine into the ceramic cup the woman was holding. “It’s because you’re missing them, it is not? Besides it has been a long since they left this mansion, isn’t it?”

She chuckled. “I think I should pay my precious twin sisters a visit. What do you think, Sao?”

“I will follow whatever words you say, Master,” the maid replied.

“Well, then,” she said and finished the last of the rice wine. “What should we do first?”

Thats great! :D
Poor lil' knights :D

Yeah, he's in our school...

I'm assuming he's your CP to have such a.. profound effect on you.

And now I'm wondering whether every random guy I come across in school is you or not. :eyespin:


One step at a time...

So says the impatient guy.


They're called stroke of genius :nod:

Manifestation of thoughts anyone? :rolleyes:


Koji isn't the Erio, he's the Yuuno... Everybody here wants him to do it...


I'll agree on this point. :D


Beauty contest. So far, the contestants I got are

- Spica (Dark ver.)

P.S - Attempting to kidnap Leona... I only assumed all the creators have images...

Nope. Most go around without a fixed image AFAIK.


Jeno: "Erm, No :uhoh: ... That's not it of course... >.> I mean, IT'S A MATTER OF PRINCIPLES!"


Yes principles. :nod:


Put down the girl and walk away, nobody has done anything wrong yet...

*Snipers on the rooftop*

I've learnt from Tormenk to hang the carrot a little longer =D

Mada mada. You ain't learnt anything from me yet. :p


But with FSZ at the helm, it's one LLLLLLLOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG ass wait...

It's his creations on the main stage after all. Although between the two of us, it'll be June before it comes to fruition. :heh::heh:

Though I have to ask, did my earlier comment on Maren spark off that idea?



Ah HA! I knew that would bring people to confess their darkest secret :D

Give me the Anime and I'll give you what you want :D

Not from this avatar. :p



More like "Dynames, sniping- what the!?!"

Orbital Bombardement >>> Dynames.

Hmm. Makes me think of a scenario where the Cradle does that. Interesting no?


Takamachi sisters. Notice the plural. ;)

Good good. :nod: Takamachi sisters come in a package now. :D


Seems I've created quite the expectations. :heh: Now to see if I can create a believable scenario. :uhoh:

In BJs no less. :D


Like Leona?
Leona: Oh Admiral Chrono, every night I sigh when I remember your manliness. :love:

*runs*

I'm thinking Leona has the colder vibes in general, judging from PF's depiction.


Like? I hope its not related to the vices of Vice. :uhoh:

Not at all. Unless you choose to think so that way. :)


True I suppose. But if one isn't flesh and blood, e.g cyborg,etc; one probably will not have the emotional or mental capacity to enjoy eternity/forever anyway. :rolleyes:

Or be wrecked by the pains of it.


Ouch....:mad: That's exactly the kind of things that rile up the ah bengs here even more. I know because I use to have to deal with them on a daily basis. :eyespin:


Chaos should have more than sufficient experience in riling up people. Or would that be vice versa? :uhoh:


:heh::heh::heh: The army said they don't wanna accept me. You're better off shipping Tormenk off to National Service. :D

You ain't getting rid of me this easily. :D


Ok that makes a lot of sense. So basically the rogue mages detected that Shamsel's family had magical potential and thought it possible that the BoD was with them. Kinda tragic to have your family killed because of moronic rogue mages.


Tragic still to carry that burden throughout your life.


Sometimes I don't experience Monday 'mornings' unless you count 3-5am in the morning as your kind of 'mornings'. :heh: I wake up feeling more blur and lethargic than cynical.

Cynical is ever present. Just particularly strong these few days. :heh:


From wherever it is he generates those ideas. :rolleyes:

I'm thinking a swirling blackhole. :nod:


Interestingly innovative. :D

Cynicism for my drive. ;)



Anyone can pick up a weapon and blast away. I prefer to be more... subtle. It's much more satisfying to see an enemy collapse while thinking he has won. Untill the very last moment, that is.

Battles of the mind are so much more pleasing.

Some liken it to be a battle. Others take it as a game. And the rare few take pleasure in just observing. ;)


I am... utterly and completely confused. :heh:

Thats where Dark Spica came from. :nod:


Version 2.0 of the History of the Order of Freelance Mages is more or less done. I'll be making some edits, of course, but this is probably the base I'm gonna use to make my characters.



In the early days of the TSAB's expansion and influence over their little slice of galaxy, many of their ships were lost to the void. Sometimes AI would malfunction; sometimes a small error in the calculations would bounce a ship into a star or a supernova; and sometimes, the ship's crew would simply revolt and have to be brought down by other nearby TSAB ships.

In this endless void known as space, one ship, the cruiser Ramza, and its sister ship, the Alma, were travelling together through this endless void. They had jumped just ouside of a star system known at the time as Non-Administered System 457, and was under observation. Two planets within the system seemed to be in a constant state of war. Using non-magical, advanced technology (though not quite on the level of the TSAB), they fought each other tooth and nail. Laser cannons the size of tractor-trailers fired at each other through the void; space fighters weaved between the blasts and fired missiles and railgun slugs at the other in a constant dance of death; even the planets themselves seemed to be at odds with each other. The Ramza's crew saw that the orbits of the planets were oddly-shaped: In fact, the orbits intercepted each other, and it was a wonder the two planets hadn't collided. The planets themselves, due to the odd pull of both the system's local star and their own planetary mass, plus years of war, had taken a toll on the shape and face of the celestial bodies. Not only were they raked with scars from weapons, they seemed to be pulled and pushed into an odd shape that was less of a sphere or an oval and more of a really massive asteroid.

In effect, the planets were tearing each other apart. Apparently, this applied to the citizens as well. Intercepted radio transmissions revealed that the citizens were in a constant state of hatred at the other planet. The peoples' homeworld, Erusia, and the other planet, Sotoa, hated each other so much that their hate was palatable, even from this far in space. The crews of the TSAB ships were slightly disgusted at this, but made a note of the planets' location in their logs. Assuming that both planets still existed in a few decades, maybe they would be ready for administration, and peace would rule this system.

And then the Ramza Incident happened.


It wasn't really anything major, at least not to the ships involved. In the early days of the TSAB, ships malfunctioned all the time for one reason or another. Sometimes the magitech reactors powering the ships would malfunction and go berserk, sometimes shutting down permenantly... or sometimes exploding in a violent flash of light and heat. Sometimes the AI would stop functioning, perhaps due to a virus or simply because at the time advanced AI was still in its early stages. Sometimes the crew would revolt, or something decidedly human would occur.

In these cases, the TSAB had certain regulations set up. Since most ships were designed for defense and not salvage, few except the biggest of ships had tractor beams loaded. In the event of a reactor malfunction, the crew would evacuate the ship and get as far away from it as possible before it exploded - or if it didn't. In the event of something else, the crew would attempt to send out a distress signal. In the event of a distress signal being unusable, they would again evacuate to the nearest TSAB ship. It was why scouts traveled in groups of two, and why those ships were always undermanned.

It's not for certain what happened to the Ramza back then; perhaps it was a reactor malfunction, or maybe the AI tried to kill everyone, or maybe something else happened. No one knows for sure. All that's known is that something happened, and when it happened, the captain deemed it wise to drop everything and run for the Alma. Certain precautions that should have been taken weren't due to neglect. For example, the AI's database should have been wiped out, but in whatever panic that occured this was not done. Any and all Devices were also supposed to have been taken off of the ship, but again, this was not done. Instead, all that occured was a mass evacuation to the accompanying ship as mentioned in the log... then nothing. Shortly after this, the Alma also disappeared into the void of space. They haven't been seen since.

Whatever happened, though, and the crew's reaction to it, would cause a shift in the way war worked for the people of Un-Administered System 457. The Ramza, despite being left derelict and drifting in space, nonetheless succumbed to the star's faint, but existant, gravitational pull. The ship slowly made its way to the warring planets. In a year's time, it literally drifted into the middle of a large-scale firefight between both sides.

This was the Ramza Incident. When two warring sides stopped fighting when something alien, something inhuman to them, drifted into their battle. Their lasers and missiles never even hurt the vessel, its armor or shields too thick and hard for them to penetrate. Both sides conveted the strange craft as they sent their salvage ships after it, using their tractor beams to hold it in place as scientists from both sides were forced into the ship, to uncover its secrets. With their limited knowledge, they couldn't have, shouldn't have learned anything from the Ramza.

But then, the planet was supposed to have been found. It was supposed to have been recorded. But it never was.

And over one-hundred years later, the fruits of constant research and attention would reveal to the people of Un-Administered System 457 the secrets of this vessel.


It had been a century since the Ramza Incident. The place where System 457 lay was at the edge of the Yellow Zone now, far away from the eyes of the TSAB.

It had taken them a hundred years of time and research and effort, but finally, the people of System 457 were unified. They had taken the time and the effort, over five generations, to take apart and put back together the Ramza, learning everything they could about it. They learned the Mid-Childan language, learned how to use Devices (well, some of them did. Roughly 17% of the collective population of the system was theorized to have the ability to use the Devices), and even learned how to make crude versions of the Ramza itself. Somewhere along the way, they ripped out the Magitech reactor and placed within the ship a block of standard fusion reactors, then, after they gleaned everything they could from the AI, they erased it the best they could and installed their own within the ship. Putting their best crew on it, they made the ship, the "Erusian Flag Ship Berkut", theirs. It wasn't perfect by any means, but to them, it was the best they had.

Meanwhile, the TSAB had been sending out ships to find their lost ones in an effort to make sure no damage had been done. Just in case, they were sending fleets of ships, five cruisers apiece, to the far reaches of the galaxy. Many ships were recovered in this method - or pieces of ships. One fleet, the 5th Fleet, stumbled upon System 457 in their travels, having learned of the missing Ramza.

What greeted them was a much different sight than what had greeted them before. Instead of a constant war raging between two worlds, instead there was peace. Both worlds united under one banner, and despite their large warfleets, they seemed to be unassuming in appearance. The fleet approached, having detected the Ramza within the orbit of one of the worlds. As soon as they were in sensor range, they were contacted by the Captain of the former Ramza.

This was First Contact for these people, known as Erusians. They were cautious but willing to listen.

It was for this reason that maybe there was a chance for what the future held for the Erusian people to change. During the conversation between the two captains (the Erusians had even taken Mid-Childan as their second or third language over the century), they agreed that a peace conference from the TSAB would be sent, and the fate of the Ramza and the Erusians would be discussed. The 5th Fleet left without worry.

The fleet would return a year later, this time with a sixth ship. This ship, a ship of peace, launched a shuttle to the Erusian homeworld. Together, they met with a delegation from the Erusians, and together, the two groups began to talk about peace.

But there was a problem. The translation of Erusian to Mid-Childan was not perfect. Many words were misused or mistaken. One of these words would spark a conflict that would mean the end of the Erusians as a free people. That word, was "Administration." This word was mistaken, to the Erusians. To them, it meant something in their language.

Delat' Nevol'nikov. Roughly Translated: "Enslavement."

The TSAB delegation never made it off the planet. After a heated argument, the leaders of Erusia made a grave mistake; they had the delegation killed. The TSAB peace officers had not brought their Devices with them. Had they done so, they may have made it back alive.

Shortly after the delegation was killed, the 5th Fleet noticed that at one point or another, they had become surrounded by Erusian warships. The leader of the fleet quickly sent out the order to raise shields, but by the time the message was relayed, the former Ramza and all the battleships of the Erusian fleet opened fire.

A century had been kind to both sides. For the Erusians, it saw a steady increase in their knowledge and their design of war. Against the TSAB, however, it was an outdated concept, the Ramza was. Nominally, one ship like the Ramza taking on its descendant would be a heated, but the victor would be easy to determine. However, even a TSAB ship cannot withstand the sheer force that twenty battleship-sized weapons have on her hulls. One of the 5th Fleet's warships were quickly lost to the planetary weapons.

This sparked a quick battle between both sides. Even with their older technology, the Erusians put up a sizeable threat due to one thing alone: Sheer numbers. The Erusians had been bred for war, it seemed. For every destroyer that would be swatted aside, a cruiser would take its place. The Erusians knew that, individually, there was no way they could win. However, if they directed their fire consistently on one ship, it would go down. They may not have had Magitech for their ships (that was limited to the Devices found onboard the Ramza itself; as of that time, they still only had a limited understanding of the Devices themselves, only the results), but they had weapons they had been refining for centuries. The Erusians themselves lost 12 ships in that conflict. The TSAB lost four out of six by the time they decided to get help.


The TSAB quickly came to a conclusion on how to deal with something like this. They were going to subjugate and take over Erusia in retaliation for what they had done. They amassed an equal number of warships compared to what Erusia had.

Erusia had approximately five-hundred ships of various ages and sizes, ranging from ships that were active when the Ramza drifted into orbit to knockoff versions of the Ramza itself. Each ship bristled with weaponry; it seemed that to the Erusians, location was no object. They were extremely heavily armed, compared to the TSAB's more modest but more advanced arms.

The TSAB wasnted this battle over and quickly. They amassed three fleets of warships, approximately fifty ships apiece. Then they assembled a fourth fleet, one primarily filled with troop transports, to land on the Erusian world and take it over from the ground.

This took time. By the time the gathering of the fleet was over, the year was MC056. Among the people involved were Admiral Graham and a young Lindy Harlown, along with a few select Enforcer Units and the last users of Belkan magic. The numbers were heavily lopsided - 150 warships of cruiser and destroyer class versus 200 Erusian warships.

The combined TSAB warped in on the dawn of June MC056.

War began with a flash. Both sides instantly raised shields and begun to fight each other. The Erusians were less advanced than the TSAB, but from their inception into the Navy the average Erusian was taught centuries of fighting strategies and tactics. This, along with holding their strategy of destroy-one-ship-at-a-time, was actually a threat to the TSAB. A few barrages of weaponry would rupture and destroy shields, and another few would cause the hull to leak and crack under pressure.

But this time it was the TSAB that had advantage of numbers. Partway through the fight, three more fleets for the TSAB had warped in compared to the one for the Erusians. It was at this point, when reinforcements arrived, that the TSAB sent the Erusians a message.

"You can't win. But there are alternatives to fighting. Surrender now, and we can save countless lives."

Less than 30 seconds later, the Fleet Commander for the Erusians responded.

"An Erusian would die rather than surrender. We will fight until the last possible ship is destroyed!"

And this they did.

It took hours. Both sides fought each other down, destroying ships everywhere. The void of space was scattered with mixed TSAB and Erusian ship parts. More reinforcements for both sides came, and it wasn't long before the Erusians were outnumbered 3 to 1... then 5 to 1... then 10 to 1.

Eventually, it all came down to one ship: the Berkut. As two TSAB Cruisers flanked it, they were offered one last chance of surrender.

"No harm will come to the crew." They promised/lied. "If you surrender now, we will not invade your homeworld."

And then, agonizing silence. It seemed like the Erusians were going to agree; the Berkut powered down her battered shields, lowered her dead/empty weapons, released a few escape pods toward the planet below, and brought the engines to a full stop. Soon, a transmission opened to the two flagships flanking it. The Fleet Commander smiled to them bitterly.

"Didn't I tell you? We would rather die!"

Within the bowels of the Ramza/Berkut, the eight blocks of Fusion reactors overheated. Eight blocks of fusion reactors were simultaneously forced to detonate. The Ramza/Berkut glowed bright white, and before they could react, the Berkut exploded.

Despite all their technology, a point-blank Fusion explosion is still extremely powerful. Shields crumpled, hull melted, and the last known Erusian ship detonated in a blaze of fury, taking with it two TSAB flagships.

The numbers were counted. Counting the reinforcemnts, the Erusians had whittled the TSAB to 3/4s their number. They were down to a total of 297 ships. Of course, the Erusian ships numbered at 100% destruction... all 825 of them.

This is all of 2.0 for now. I haven't quite covered the landside of the war.
Suffice to say I think this is a more viable solution to the war. It's a far more "realistic" answer to the battle. The TSAB would inevitably have taken losses, but the Erusians would have suffered more.

Nice history overall and carving out a great story. Although the translator certainly has a lot of blame to take for triggering a war like this. :rolleyes: The kamikaze Captain had me laughing though. :D

I'm not sure...It involves Koji tripping on a stone, Maren catches him but gets dragged alone and falls on top of him

Alone and in a intimate position. I'm sure nothing will happen. :nod:

[CENTER]THE GEMINI SISTERS II
CHAPTER 1
*snip*
Well, this is definately interesting :D SHould be good to see how she handles stuff with her sisters :p

Takamachi sisters. Notice the plural. ;)

Seems I've created quite the expectations. :heh: Now to see if I can create a believable scenario. :uhoh:
Well, there's an easy enough solution if you're so inclined.... Just get both of them drunk.... I might get stoned for this... and you could always make Nanoha think Keroko is Fate.:uhoh:

*runs at lightspeed*

Huh? So now we are responsible for your juice resupplying? Then shall we go for a steamboat dinner every time you get writer's block? :heh:
I can think of worse ways to get over writers block...
He's the bluecheese bomber and I now apparently gave him more ammunition. :heh:

*good job* :D :D
Version 2.0 of the History of the Order of Freelance Mages is more or less done. I'll be making some edits, of course, but this is probably the base I'm gonna use to make my characters.


*snip*


*snip*
Just one problem with this. The ship must have been really close to begin with in order to be effected by the planet's combined gravitational fields, that it get's dragged towards the planets.

I don't have the time to do the calculations, but I can't see it happening within a year. Cloaking could be an option as to why it was so close to begin with, but then that raises the issue of why it didn't fail when the ship ai went down in the first place, in which case they would have noticed the really big ship that was floating close to their planet.

One other thing. If they couldn't scratch the ship, how exactly did they get on board? Unless their shield magically disappeared as they boarding craft approached:rolleyes:

*snip*

*snip*

This is all of 2.0 for now. I haven't quite covered the landside of the war.
Suffice to say I think this is a more viable solution to the war. It's a far more "realistic" answer to the battle. The TSAB would inevitably have taken losses, but the Erusians would have suffered more.
First thing, you've started off saying that there were ~500 eurasian ships, but then you only had 200 warships involved in the fight agaisnt the TSAB. Then at the end, the eurasian count is 825 ships?:eyebrow: Make up your mind.

Also, you've got the same problems with the TSAB. there was orginally 150 warships (3 fleets), then you said a further 3 fleets warped in bringing us to 300. 297 isn't three quarters of 300.... heck even if you count the troop transports that you mentioned, 297/350 != 3/4.

Further more, I think you're going to need more men for the land-campaign. Those 50 ships are going to have at most say ~800 ground troops each, with maybe 200 on the normal warships. That's what ~100k ground troops to try and conquer 2 whole worlds? I don't see that being anywhere near possible, especially if you keep the opposition as crazy as they were in your original. As as soon as one city's taken, they'd drop a few nukes on the place, effectively wiping out whatever force just took the city. Rinse and repeat and you'll be out of men long before they're out of cities/towns even on one world.

Unless of course you were planning on just having the TSAB navy provide aircover by vaping large areas of land:rolleyes: Then by all means, you've probably got enough force there.

Overall much better than before, but still things to work on before it makes sense.
Somehow i start seeing my youth burried under tons of translation requests :heh:


I don't think I mentioned it before, but welcome to the thread :D If you haven't already, check out the very first page of the thread for lots of handy info, especially post 5; which has the list of most of the OC's in the thread.

KAOS MAYHEM MONDAY MASSACRE!!!


~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~




Like Leona?
Leona: Oh Admiral Chrono, every night I sigh when I remember your manliness. :love:

*runs*

I don't think that's quite it... :heh:

For one thing, Chrono isn't very manly unless he's giving the GAR speeches, or binding girls :nod:.

... Unless Leona swings that way then Forgot what I've said as I wish you happiness :nod:



*Wonders what was Chaos doing at that time.*

Taking advantage of a girl, you happy now?



Ouch....:mad: That's exactly the kind of things that rile up the ah bengs here even more. I know because I use to have to deal with them on a daily basis. :eyespin:


I know. I usually just say a bunch of meanless well constructed sentences :nod:



:heh::heh::heh: The army said they don't wanna accept me. You're better off shipping Tormenk off to National Service. :D


Damn... >.>


Hmm...It would be even better if you could just give me the link. Right now, I'm just blindly searching here and there. Google images doesn't seem to help either.


LoweGear gave up his soul to me for that link, what can you offer me :D ?



Itsuki: He hesitated. :rolleyes:
Jean: He did. :heh:
Sylvia: Lost of words. :uhoh:

Jeno: "I hope you weren't expecting anything brilliant out of that :p"



Overly Suggestive Works. :D

There seems to be alot of Chaos-styles... :eyespin:

-=[Trickster Mode]=-



I don't know about yutakas, but it is true that traditionally girls don't wear underwear under their kimonos. Though I'm sure that's changed in recent years, except for girls that are going out of their way for a "special night" with their boyfriends. :uhoh:

Sigh... That's just so nice...


I should find an image of Keroko in Yukata...

*cough*

Why am I not surprised that you would have thought of this? :heh:

What else could I say?



Sometimes I don't experience Monday 'mornings' unless you count 3-5am in the morning as your kind of 'mornings'. :heh: I wake up feeling more blur and lethargic than cynical.

I used to have the power to wake up at 5 am regularly.



From wherever it is he generates those ideas. :rolleyes:

Wanna know the secret to the dark side?


*kicks lazy mode Chaos into the first page of the thread*

Couldn't you just sent it to me :eyespin: ?



Anyone can pick up a weapon and blast away. I prefer to be more... subtle. It's much more satisfying to see an enemy collapse while thinking he has won. Untill the very last moment, that is.

Battles of the mind are so much more pleasing.

No, I mean that you're tame :heh:



Good. Then you can hold them of a bit longer.

*Jeno grin a lustful grin*



I am... utterly and completely confused. :heh:

You will understand in due time... :nod:

For now, all you have to know is Dark Spica is very real...



Good thing I didn't post T3H R3ST :heh:
*runs*


No matter, it has already played out in my head... Just answer this...

Is it like Matoko's scene from Kanan's game where it's out in the open? Or Saber's scene from the F/SN game where they found a place?

Foreplay would be light since Koji would have little resistance to go through... Interuptions would be no-no... But the aftermath would definitely be Fel's scene :naughty:

I believe you know what I mean. Don't you, comrade... :D :D :D :D :D ?



Actually...since it was September by the end of the JS Incident, and these fesivals only happen in the end of Summer, this would be in MC076 :heh:

We also don't know what's the time gap between the graduation in April and the Epilogue where everyone has gone their own way :heh:

Oh come on, now you're just teasing me :( !



It can't be helped :heh:
But hey, at least Koji isn't Sakai Yuuji :rolleyes:

What we need... Is a super male character... Who is a fusion of Yuji and Saito... With all the good points, and none of the bad...

I'm assuming he's your CP to have such a.. profound effect on you.

Actually no ;heh: He is a very good friend of mine that came to this school with me... I meant him when we're in sec 3 :heh:


And now I'm wondering whether every random guy I come across in school is you or not. :eyespin:

Enginnering :heh:


I'll agree on this point. :D

Erio is different, NOBODY wants him to settle down yet :D



Yes principles. :nod:

Jeno: "What :eyebrow: ?"



Mada mada. You ain't learnt anything from me yet. :p

I wasn't serious :heh:


It's his creations on the main stage after all. Although between the two of us, it'll be June before it comes to fruition. :heh::heh:

Though I have to ask, did my earlier comment on Maren spark off that idea?

Which idea? Koji and Maren doing it out in the open?



Not from this avatar. :p

You don't have what I want.

*Kick into a hole*


Chaos should have more than sufficient experience in riling up people. Or would that be vice versa? :uhoh:

Ah well... Lets just say I had fun... While I last... >.>

Hmm. Makes me think of a scenario where the Cradle does that. Interesting no?

Working scenario, actually. :D

Good good. :nod: Takamachi sisters come in a package now. :D

In BJs no less. :D

:heh:

Some liken it to be a battle. Others take it as a game. And the rare few take pleasure in just observing. ;)

Well, to quote Pellaeon: "It isn't the killing, you know. It's the beauty of battles that I love—the choreography and the challenge of executing everything just right—and the challenge of matching your wits against a capable opponent. I guess I carry a little more Thrawn with me than I'd like to believe."

Probably the reason why I'm loving Legend of Galactic Heroes at the moment.

Thats where Dark Spica came from. :nod:

... and what does that have to do with KeroNano? :uhoh:

Well, there's an easy enough solution if you're so inclined.... Just get both of them drunk.... I might get stoned for this... and you could always make Nanoha think Keroko is Fate.:uhoh:

*runs at lightspeed*

I'm neutral, so no stones from me. :rolleyes:

Though as a solution, the getting drunk seems to be the best option. Nanoha seeing Keroko as Fate does not compute concidering Nanoha has known Keroko since they were seven. :heh: And what motivation would Keroko have then. :rolleyes:

No, getting horendously drunk and seeing 'sisterly love' bloom seems a tad less complex.

Taking advantage of a girl, you happy now?

When aren't you doing that?

LoweGear gave up his soul to me for that link, what can you offer me :D ?

*points up to the sky, where Keroko-tan's satelite is still hovering.* Your life?

I should find an image of Keroko in Yukata...

*cough*

*rolls eyes* I'll see what I can do...

No, I mean that you're tame :heh:

*smiles* Sure I am.

Powerfull emotion, that lust.

It just occured to me, that you didn't seem to push for Null :heh:

I assumed she has a Full-to-Over sized mode :p ?

Compared to some heavy-weights in this thread, Null would be a total-underdog.

OVER-sized mode is something I don't intend to introduce yet, since it's not canonically proven that it can grow beyond just size... but assuming there is, then Null could be a competitor...

If she becomes oversize on her own, while hiding her Unison features... (( tail, pointy ears, etc ))

http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/4882/adultflonneetnafc3fad0ec1.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Alright, then, to complete the Gemini Sisters' Seto no Hanayome vibe, I present to you...

http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/93/1188317054223dn8.jpg
Name: Galatea (real name unknown)
Age: appears to be 19; actual creation date unknown
Birthday: unknown
Origin: 42nd Administered World -- Narulia
Affiliation: Lawful Good
Position/rank in TSAB: none
Height: 168cm
Weight: 42kg
Eye colour: ruby
Hair colour: jet black
Magic system: Mid-Childa
Magic symbol: circle
Device name: Sao
Device type: Lost Logia - Unison Device
Device appearance:

(normal form) humanoid (height: 16cm; weight: 45kg; eye colour: purple)
(Combat Mode) Oxtongue Rifle
(Full Mode) Unison Armour (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weiss_Ritter)

Other devices: Roger (Automata, panda plush doll)
Appearance: see picture (left: Sao; right: Galatea)
Personalities: despite her cold demeanours, Galatea is in reality a warm-hearted girl who cares very much of her sisters. The reason she chooses not to display her emotion is to show people that unnecessary emotional breakdown can -- and will -- be very dangerous to one’s survival, although she admits “there is nothing wrong for a girl to cry”. She can tolerate alcohol and loves rice wine, even having the special talent to identify each product she takes.
Combat style: Galatea is specialized in long-range, hit-and-run combat style. She employs Sao’s full capability in its Combat Mode and uses her exceptionally accurate sniping technique to take out enemies from far away.
Relationship: Aura (sister); Freya (sister); Poseidon (partner); Takeru (rival); Frieda (rival); Nagasumi Yutaro (rival).
Possible voice actors:

(Galatea) Kitamura Eri (Shiranui Akeno, Seto no Hanayome)
(Sao) Kuwashima Houko (Clare, Claymore)
(Roger) Ueda Yuji (Mugi-maru, Nurse Witch Komugi-chan)

Notes:

Galatea is afraid of cockroaches.
Galatea has weak spot against MANLY man. This fact has been exploited a lot by Sao and Roger “to cheer up their somewhat cold master.”
Galatea spends her pastime making pottery and reading classical poetry.
Sao is among a few Devices to have Unison Armour mode. The other Devices are Baron’s Bamidman, Maxim’s Trombe Dei and the Linebackers. It is believed that Armstrong’s device, Forneus, also possesses its own Unison Armour mode but it cannot be confirmed as no evidence of its usage exists.
Galatea’s name comes from the sea-nymph of the same name in Greek story ‘Acis and Galatea’.



No background detail is available ATM, but I bet everyone wants more of Freya's oneesama, right? :naughty: :naughty:

*dodges Sao's Oxtongue Rifle B-Mode*

ARMSTRONG ALERT!? :eyespin: *runs*

What rank though?

THE GEMINI SISTERS II
CHAPTER 1

// Belkan Knights HQ //

Takeru dodged Signum’s attack and counter-fired with Schwarz Todd’s Rapid Fire. The Wolkenritter hastily jumped out of firing range and tossed a Hiryu Issen. The young gunslinger rolled across the floor and continued firing at Signum’s position, reloading the dual handguns in quick succession.

Outside the arena, the Gemini Sisters and Yutaro were watching the duel in amazement. Frieda was also present, monitoring Takeru’s progress with the help of the Belkan Knights’ psychiatrist and computer expert (both of whom, Kyoko Asakura and Matilda McLeod, happened to be her friends). The rest of the Wolkenritters were also there, cheering and rooting for Signum.

“Well, I didn’t know Takeru is a good combatant,” Yutaro commented.

“Of course he is,” Aura said and blushed. “Because he had captured my heart, I shall never run away from her no matter where I hide. He is my hunter…”

Freya could only sigh. She had nothing more to say regarding her twin sister’s obsession towards big gun, and she did not want to start an argument with her.

“Takeru’s performance has increased since he underwent the special training,” Kyoko spoke. “But he seems to be having a personality conflict of sorts.”

“Come on, Kyoko!” Matilda uttered. “You can’t be that serious. Takeru I know is always dead serious. Right, Frieda?”

The spectacled woman simply giggled. “We’ll see.”

“AH!”

Everybody turned back to the arena. Signum repelled Takeru’s melee attack and delivered a hard kick onto the boy’s torso in a counterattack manoeuvre. The boy was sent flying across the arena before he crashed on the floor.

“Takeru!” Aura gasped.

Signum approached Takeru, who was recovering from the attack. “What’s the matter, Takeru? You seem to be losing concentration,” she said and offered the boy her hand.

“I don’t know,” Takeru replied and was pulled up as he took the hand. “I thought I saw something flashing in my eyes, but I can’t understand.”

“That is only your illusion. Never lose your concentrate in fighting your opponent, or you will lose your life,” Signum replied and resumed her stance. “So, shall we resume?”

Takeru grinned and opened his Gun Kata pose. “Sure. Why not?”

The mock duel continued. Everyone continued their observation on the clash, commenting on each combatant’s ability and cooing at their exchanges of blows. Occasionally Zafira and Shamal shouted for Signum and flagged banners with her names, which was later followed by some knights who were a big fan of the Pink Cloud Knight.

“Does that mean Takeru is in love with that girl?”

“Impossible! I thought Takeru’s only into older woman!”

“But Erio said in his report that the girl… what’s her name? Aura? Ah, whatever! She gave him a kiss and told him not to forget it!”

(Aura overheard the conversation and hid her face in embarrassment. “They’re saying it out loud… hatsukashi…”)

“No freaking way! This is blasphemy!”

Takeru stopped. His concentration on the mock duel thwarted, he simply glared at the knights. His face was burning with embarrassment. The knights were embarrassing him in front of Riot Force 6. They were embarrassing him right in front of Yutaro and the Gemini Sisters.

Right in front of Aura.

“So does that mean…” The knights cheered and threw their fists high above their head. “OUR GUNSLINGER BOY HAS GROWN UP!! TAKERU! PIERCE THROUGH THE HEAVENS WITH YOUR BIG GUN! NOTHING IN THIS WORLD IS IMPOSSIBLE!”

“Hey, what do you think you’re doing?” Signum asked, and was promptly ignored as the knights continued cheering for their gunslinger boy.

“Meister?” Silberkugel asked.

Takeru closed his eyes. “…do it.”

“Ja. Panzer Faust Form.”

Panzer Faust Silberkugel killed “fan boy-mode” knights with Blitzkrieg: Kugelregen.

Yutaro and the Gemini Sisters looked at the charred remains of the knights. “Can we say, owned?” Yutaro said.

The woman remained silent. Having seated outside the mansion for the entire night, her only activity was to drink rice wine and recite classical Japanese poems. Her beauty was unspoken: silky hair flowing down her shoulders; ruby eyes that seemed to glitter with the stars; vibrant lips that seem to carve out a natural smile; her all-black dresses that simply added spice in her splendour.

A pink-haired maid came out of the mansion. “It’s getting late, Master. You should be going to sleep by now,” she reminded as she approached the woman. “What’s the matter?”

The black-haired woman shook her head. “It’s nothing,” she replied and gazed into the night sky. “But the stars… they brought in memories I thought I had forgotten,” she spoke and continued drinking rice wine.

“Now, now, Master,” the maid said and poured in another cup of rice wine into the ceramic cup the woman was holding. “It’s because you’re missing them, it is not? Besides it has been a long since they left this mansion, isn’t it?”

She chuckled. “I think I should pay my precious twin sisters a visit. What do you think, Sao?”

“I will follow whatever words you say, Master,” the maid replied.

“Well, then,” she said and finished the last of the rice wine. “What should we do first?”

Ah~ as expected of USB... Though it's nice to see a more natural piece from you, after a good overblow of :eyespin: crack.

He's Nighty, nuff said.

Version 2.0 of the History of the Order of Freelance Mages is more or less done. I'll be making some edits, of course, but this is probably the base I'm gonna use to make my characters.



In the early days of the TSAB's expansion and influence over their little slice of galaxy, many of their ships were lost to the void. Sometimes AI would malfunction; sometimes a small error in the calculations would bounce a ship into a star or a supernova; and sometimes, the ship's crew would simply revolt and have to be brought down by other nearby TSAB ships.

In this endless void known as space, one ship, the cruiser Ramza, and its sister ship, the Alma, were travelling together through this endless void. They had jumped just ouside of a star system known at the time as Non-Administered System 457, and was under observation. Two planets within the system seemed to be in a constant state of war. Using non-magical, advanced technology (though not quite on the level of the TSAB), they fought each other tooth and nail. Laser cannons the size of tractor-trailers fired at each other through the void; space fighters weaved between the blasts and fired missiles and railgun slugs at the other in a constant dance of death; even the planets themselves seemed to be at odds with each other. The Ramza's crew saw that the orbits of the planets were oddly-shaped: In fact, the orbits intercepted each other, and it was a wonder the two planets hadn't collided. The planets themselves, due to the odd pull of both the system's local star and their own planetary mass, plus years of war, had taken a toll on the shape and face of the celestial bodies. Not only were they raked with scars from weapons, they seemed to be pulled and pushed into an odd shape that was less of a sphere or an oval and more of a really massive asteroid.

In effect, the planets were tearing each other apart. Apparently, this applied to the citizens as well. Intercepted radio transmissions revealed that the citizens were in a constant state of hatred at the other planet. The peoples' homeworld, Erusia, and the other planet, Sotoa, hated each other so much that their hate was palatable, even from this far in space. The crews of the TSAB ships were slightly disgusted at this, but made a note of the planets' location in their logs. Assuming that both planets still existed in a few decades, maybe they would be ready for administration, and peace would rule this system.

And then the Ramza Incident happened.


It wasn't really anything major, at least not to the ships involved. In the early days of the TSAB, ships malfunctioned all the time for one reason or another. Sometimes the magitech reactors powering the ships would malfunction and go berserk, sometimes shutting down permenantly... or sometimes exploding in a violent flash of light and heat. Sometimes the AI would stop functioning, perhaps due to a virus or simply because at the time advanced AI was still in its early stages. Sometimes the crew would revolt, or something decidedly human would occur.

In these cases, the TSAB had certain regulations set up. Since most ships were designed for defense and not salvage, few except the biggest of ships had tractor beams loaded. In the event of a reactor malfunction, the crew would evacuate the ship and get as far away from it as possible before it exploded - or if it didn't. In the event of something else, the crew would attempt to send out a distress signal. In the event of a distress signal being unusable, they would again evacuate to the nearest TSAB ship. It was why scouts traveled in groups of two, and why those ships were always undermanned.

It's not for certain what happened to the Ramza back then; perhaps it was a reactor malfunction, or maybe the AI tried to kill everyone, or maybe something else happened. No one knows for sure. All that's known is that something happened, and when it happened, the captain deemed it wise to drop everything and run for the Alma. Certain precautions that should have been taken weren't due to neglect. For example, the AI's database should have been wiped out, but in whatever panic that occured this was not done. Any and all Devices were also supposed to have been taken off of the ship, but again, this was not done. Instead, all that occured was a mass evacuation to the accompanying ship as mentioned in the log... then nothing. Shortly after this, the Alma also disappeared into the void of space. They haven't been seen since.

Whatever happened, though, and the crew's reaction to it, would cause a shift in the way war worked for the people of Un-Administered System 457. The Ramza, despite being left derelict and drifting in space, nonetheless succumbed to the star's faint, but existant, gravitational pull. The ship slowly made its way to the warring planets. In a year's time, it literally drifted into the middle of a large-scale firefight between both sides.

This was the Ramza Incident. When two warring sides stopped fighting when something alien, something inhuman to them, drifted into their battle. Their lasers and missiles never even hurt the vessel, its armor or shields too thick and hard for them to penetrate. Both sides conveted the strange craft as they sent their salvage ships after it, using their tractor beams to hold it in place as scientists from both sides were forced into the ship, to uncover its secrets. With their limited knowledge, they couldn't have, shouldn't have learned anything from the Ramza.

But then, the planet was supposed to have been found. It was supposed to have been recorded. But it never was.

And over one-hundred years later, the fruits of constant research and attention would reveal to the people of Un-Administered System 457 the secrets of this vessel.


It had been a century since the Ramza Incident. The place where System 457 lay was at the edge of the Yellow Zone now, far away from the eyes of the TSAB.

It had taken them a hundred years of time and research and effort, but finally, the people of System 457 were unified. They had taken the time and the effort, over five generations, to take apart and put back together the Ramza, learning everything they could about it. They learned the Mid-Childan language, learned how to use Devices (well, some of them did. Roughly 17% of the collective population of the system was theorized to have the ability to use the Devices), and even learned how to make crude versions of the Ramza itself. Somewhere along the way, they ripped out the Magitech reactor and placed within the ship a block of standard fusion reactors, then, after they gleaned everything they could from the AI, they erased it the best they could and installed their own within the ship. Putting their best crew on it, they made the ship, the "Erusian Flag Ship Berkut", theirs. It wasn't perfect by any means, but to them, it was the best they had.

Meanwhile, the TSAB had been sending out ships to find their lost ones in an effort to make sure no damage had been done. Just in case, they were sending fleets of ships, five cruisers apiece, to the far reaches of the galaxy. Many ships were recovered in this method - or pieces of ships. One fleet, the 5th Fleet, stumbled upon System 457 in their travels, having learned of the missing Ramza.

What greeted them was a much different sight than what had greeted them before. Instead of a constant war raging between two worlds, instead there was peace. Both worlds united under one banner, and despite their large warfleets, they seemed to be unassuming in appearance. The fleet approached, having detected the Ramza within the orbit of one of the worlds. As soon as they were in sensor range, they were contacted by the Captain of the former Ramza.

This was First Contact for these people, known as Erusians. They were cautious but willing to listen.

It was for this reason that maybe there was a chance for what the future held for the Erusian people to change. During the conversation between the two captains (the Erusians had even taken Mid-Childan as their second or third language over the century), they agreed that a peace conference from the TSAB would be sent, and the fate of the Ramza and the Erusians would be discussed. The 5th Fleet left without worry.

The fleet would return a year later, this time with a sixth ship. This ship, a ship of peace, launched a shuttle to the Erusian homeworld. Together, they met with a delegation from the Erusians, and together, the two groups began to talk about peace.

But there was a problem. The translation of Erusian to Mid-Childan was not perfect. Many words were misused or mistaken. One of these words would spark a conflict that would mean the end of the Erusians as a free people. That word, was "Administration." This word was mistaken, to the Erusians. To them, it meant something in their language.

Delat' Nevol'nikov. Roughly Translated: "Enslavement."

The TSAB delegation never made it off the planet. After a heated argument, the leaders of Erusia made a grave mistake; they had the delegation killed. The TSAB peace officers had not brought their Devices with them. Had they done so, they may have made it back alive.

Shortly after the delegation was killed, the 5th Fleet noticed that at one point or another, they had become surrounded by Erusian warships. The leader of the fleet quickly sent out the order to raise shields, but by the time the message was relayed, the former Ramza and all the battleships of the Erusian fleet opened fire.

A century had been kind to both sides. For the Erusians, it saw a steady increase in their knowledge and their design of war. Against the TSAB, however, it was an outdated concept, the Ramza was. Nominally, one ship like the Ramza taking on its descendant would be a heated, but the victor would be easy to determine. However, even a TSAB ship cannot withstand the sheer force that twenty battleship-sized weapons have on her hulls. One of the 5th Fleet's warships were quickly lost to the planetary weapons.

This sparked a quick battle between both sides. Even with their older technology, the Erusians put up a sizeable threat due to one thing alone: Sheer numbers. The Erusians had been bred for war, it seemed. For every destroyer that would be swatted aside, a cruiser would take its place. The Erusians knew that, individually, there was no way they could win. However, if they directed their fire consistently on one ship, it would go down. They may not have had Magitech for their ships (that was limited to the Devices found onboard the Ramza itself; as of that time, they still only had a limited understanding of the Devices themselves, only the results), but they had weapons they had been refining for centuries. The Erusians themselves lost 12 ships in that conflict. The TSAB lost four out of six by the time they decided to get help.


The TSAB quickly came to a conclusion on how to deal with something like this. They were going to subjugate and take over Erusia in retaliation for what they had done. They amassed an equal number of warships compared to what Erusia had.

Erusia had approximately five-hundred ships of various ages and sizes, ranging from ships that were active when the Ramza drifted into orbit to knockoff versions of the Ramza itself. Each ship bristled with weaponry; it seemed that to the Erusians, location was no object. They were extremely heavily armed, compared to the TSAB's more modest but more advanced arms.

The TSAB wasnted this battle over and quickly. They amassed three fleets of warships, approximately fifty ships apiece. Then they assembled a fourth fleet, one primarily filled with troop transports, to land on the Erusian world and take it over from the ground.

This took time. By the time the gathering of the fleet was over, the year was MC056. Among the people involved were Admiral Graham and a young Lindy Harlown, along with a few select Enforcer Units and the last users of Belkan magic. The numbers were heavily lopsided - 150 warships of cruiser and destroyer class versus 200 Erusian warships.

The combined TSAB warped in on the dawn of June MC056.

War began with a flash. Both sides instantly raised shields and begun to fight each other. The Erusians were less advanced than the TSAB, but from their inception into the Navy the average Erusian was taught centuries of fighting strategies and tactics. This, along with holding their strategy of destroy-one-ship-at-a-time, was actually a threat to the TSAB. A few barrages of weaponry would rupture and destroy shields, and another few would cause the hull to leak and crack under pressure.

But this time it was the TSAB that had advantage of numbers. Partway through the fight, three more fleets for the TSAB had warped in compared to the one for the Erusians. It was at this point, when reinforcements arrived, that the TSAB sent the Erusians a message.

"You can't win. But there are alternatives to fighting. Surrender now, and we can save countless lives."

Less than 30 seconds later, the Fleet Commander for the Erusians responded.

"An Erusian would die rather than surrender. We will fight until the last possible ship is destroyed!"

And this they did.

It took hours. Both sides fought each other down, destroying ships everywhere. The void of space was scattered with mixed TSAB and Erusian ship parts. More reinforcements for both sides came, and it wasn't long before the Erusians were outnumbered 3 to 1... then 5 to 1... then 10 to 1.

Eventually, it all came down to one ship: the Berkut. As two TSAB Cruisers flanked it, they were offered one last chance of surrender.

"No harm will come to the crew." They promised/lied. "If you surrender now, we will not invade your homeworld."

And then, agonizing silence. It seemed like the Erusians were going to agree; the Berkut powered down her battered shields, lowered her dead/empty weapons, released a few escape pods toward the planet below, and brought the engines to a full stop. Soon, a transmission opened to the two flagships flanking it. The Fleet Commander smiled to them bitterly.

"Didn't I tell you? We would rather die!"

Within the bowels of the Ramza/Berkut, the eight blocks of Fusion reactors overheated. Eight blocks of fusion reactors were simultaneously forced to detonate. The Ramza/Berkut glowed bright white, and before they could react, the Berkut exploded.

Despite all their technology, a point-blank Fusion explosion is still extremely powerful. Shields crumpled, hull melted, and the last known Erusian ship detonated in a blaze of fury, taking with it two TSAB flagships.

The numbers were counted. Counting the reinforcemnts, the Erusians had whittled the TSAB to 3/4s their number. They were down to a total of 297 ships. Of course, the Erusian ships numbered at 100% destruction... all 825 of them.

This is all of 2.0 for now. I haven't quite covered the landside of the war.
Suffice to say I think this is a more viable solution to the war. It's a far more "realistic" answer to the battle. The TSAB would inevitably have taken losses, but the Erusians would have suffered more.

I like... but for some reason, I'm finding it hard to comment on... like there's SOMETHING I want to say, but can't find it.

It's a good read though. :)

For one thing, Chrono isn't very manly unless he's giving the GAR speeches, or binding girls :nod:.

Well, 10 years ago.

Too bad other than Vice and Zest, pretty much every other male in Nanohaverse got the sthick treatment. We saw what was for most parts, what we were expected to see and know, but beyond that, :mad:


What we need... Is a super male character... Who is a fusion of Yuji and Saito... With all the good points, and none of the bad...

You mean Kanon, right? :heh:
Saber's scene...not sure about that :heh:

Hmmm, yeah... To both.


Though...the words 'on top' come to mind :rolleyes:
And Fel's aftermath scene would rock :D
*runs*

Fel aftermath scene is a must :D

As for on top... If Maren took advantage when she's on top, that would give Koji the green lights to go all the way... ESPECIALLY with no undergarments.

Well played :nod:



Such a champion is yet to be born :heh:

Sigh... :(


Wait, there might be one though... :uhoh:



Ok, some teasing on the next part (I think :heh: )

(k-kawaii...) Koji said to himself.
The girl's left eye twitched, she walked to him, looked at him in the eyes and kicked him in the shin.
"Ouch!" He winced as he held his shin.
"Don't call me cute!" She sneered.

Mind reader tsundere :heh::heh:
*runs*

Come to think of it, even if the test is different person to person, Erio would still meet her right?

What if he passed... Something else.

???: Loss of words.

Jeno: "Erm... I'm just... 'Selectively Courteous'?"

Compared to some heavy-weights in this thread, Null would be a total-underdog.

OVER-sized mode is something I don't intend to introduce yet, since it's not canonically proven that it can grow beyond just size... but assuming there is, then Null could be a competitor...

If she becomes oversize on her own, while hiding her Unison features... (( tail, pointy ears, etc ))

So this is the red-eyed person from before?

That's going to be a tough task for Koji to stop thinking....:heh:
Yeah :heh:

Hmmm, yeah... To both.
I thought so.

Fel aftermath scene is a must :D

If things go the same way as they did for Koji :rolleyes:
Knowing Erio, he just might see her too :uhoh:

Here's a hint to what's going to happen and also how that area works.

It'll be similar to when Fate got absorved by the Book of Darkness in A's
