Kha has some hints, but he still does not know some bits...
Though... Who has BS-5 WOWOW channel 2~4 years back?
Among those who had it, who managed to watch anime at the 4pm Japan timeslot, which is 5pm in the R.P.
PM me what you have/had seen... the clues lie in there.
Gotcha :heh:

It's probably what they can use for mage exams/training/etc. As for what it was, I have no idea. Hell, it may still function as a slum of sorts.

Quick reply, will get to the backlog later on tonight..
I was under the impression that the abandoned city area was the area encompassing that huge fire that we saw at the start of Strikers. Although hayate put the fire out the buildings would have been closed to the public due to safety issues.. while the TSAB figure out what to do with the area (redevelopment, etc..). The military are just using the more stable parts of it. *shrug*
I could be wrong completely of course but it is IMO a decent explanation for it if there's official reason for it being there.
Scene III. It's a little longer than the previous 2 scenes (I know because it wouldn't let me PM it to Goose).
ARQORHcRAso
Light-years away, a different door opened.
Vivio stepped inside her home and slid her shoes off, muttering a soft "I'm home." Stepping around the shoes, Vivio thought about walking straight to her room, but thought that maybe she should at least give her mom a cursory hello before starting her homework. Still my mom. She thought to herself as she walked through the corridor to the living room, heading to the kitchen in the back. The TV was on and muted, usually an indicator of Nanoha watching something she didn't like... this meant that she'd be in an even worse mood than normal.
Stopping at the threshold and peeking inside, she saw Nanoha sitting at the dining room table with her back to her daughter, reading a paper; probably work-stuff. This came as no surprise to Vivio; ever since Nanoha had come back from off-world, she landed a desk job in the TSAB facilities here in the city. Though she didn't quite understand it (having heard Nanoha's stories about flying and training others since she was six), she figured that whatever had happened had something to do with her... well, her.
For a while, Vivio said nothing as she watched her mom read. Nanoha was silent as she read, a hand playing with a strand of hair absently. Vivio imagined strained, half-squinted blue-purple eyes peering at the report, analyzing its contents and processing them for future reference. It might have been something for logistics, troop movement on the planet, or simply a memo reminding Nanoha about something important. Regardless, she was totally absorbed into it.
Vivio slowly walked up behind Nanoha, keeping her movements soft and her footsteps light, until she was totally behind her mother. She stretched up on her tiptoes, trying to get a good look at the paper.
April 4th, MC0080? she read. This report is three years old! What's she reading it-
Medical Report on Subject VT-001, Sankt Kaiser
Vivio was suddenly a lot more interested. A medical report about me? What, is there something wrong with me? And why are they calling me by my ancestor name? Narrowing her eyes, she began to read.
Captain Takamachi Nanoha,
This report is classified information, dated April 4th, MC0080, concerning the state of your adopted daughter's physical well-being. No one is allowed to see this report, not even your daughter, nor any higher-ranking friends or family. As such, this document is classified under Code OMICRON, For Your Eyes Only.
Your daughter's physical on March 21st has given the medical department some concern, believed to be related to her status as a biological copy of the Sankt Kaiser. The problem lies within her body's cellular structure; she shows the same problems as subject FT-001 (see the report on Harlown, Fate T. that we have sent you), though at an accelerated rate. We believe this to be because of prisoner JS-823543; he did not create your daughter to be a-
Nanoha suddenly started, grabbing the folder the report came in and throwing it over the papers she was looking at. "How much did you see?!"
The sudden shift in attitude caused Vivio to jump and back away from Nanoha. "Wh-what-"
"How much?!" Nanoha repeated, trying desparately to hide the documents. "You shouldn't do stuff like that, Vivio!"
"What's that report about?" Vivio reasserted herself and took a step forward, quickly shifting from surprised to suspicious. "Why is it calling me 'Sankt Kaiser'? What's wrong with my body?"
"It's nothing for you to worry about, Vivio!" Nanoha answered, picking up the last of the papers and stuffing them in the folder. "It's better if you just forgot about it, okay?"
"What's it about, Mama?" Vivio pressed. "Why won't you let me see? It's about me, my body, don't I deserve to know? Please!"
"..." Nanoha paused, looking away. "Listen, Vivio... I don't want you do know. You don't need to know. I wish I didn't know, either."
"Why is Fate-mama mentioned too?" Nanoha's weak defense had already collapsed; not surprising, as that was far too easy nowadays. "What's this stuff about celluar structures and accelerated rates? Mom, answer me!"
Nanoha simply looked away, unable to meet her daughter's eyes. "I... I can't tell you... I'm sorry."
"Stop apologizing!" Vivio shouted at her, clenching a fist. "Why do you always do this?! Why can't you be normal anymore?!"
"I..." Nanoha seemed on the verge of tears... again. "Vivio, I... I can't, okay? I can't show you."
"..." Vivio narrowed her eyes and lowered them to the ground. "Why are you doing this, mama? What happened to our family? Why are you pushing us all away now? What gives you the right to hurt my feelings this way?!"
"...it will be easier... in the long run," Nanoha said unconvincingly. "For you, and for me."
"Liar," Vivio said, her voice cracking slightly. "I hate this... you've been like this for years... I want my old mama back... not you!" Vivio turned around and stormed out of the kitchen, her hair like fire trailing behind her. Nanoha didn't watch her go, but as she heard Vivio run up the stairs and slam her door shut, she sank to her knees and put a hand to her mouth. The papers she so desparately hid from Vivio dropped to the floor, forgotten, as she sank into deep despair.
"I'm sorry..." she whispered to the air. "I can't protect you anymore... I can't stop destiny, Vivio... and I can't make it less painful," she looked to the floor, her hair falling across her shoulders like water. "I'm so sorry..."
In her room, Vivio, in her rage, threw her satchel at the far wall. She screamed, a cry of sadness of anger, and clenched her fists as tightly as she could and rammed one into the wall next to her door, cracking it vertically and splintering the drywall, forming another sore spot on a wall that already had dozens. Finding solace in the throbbing pain in her hand, Vivio dropped down on her bed. Holding the hand gently, she fought back tears of two different kinds of pain.
"I'm just like her..." she said to herself. Mama, I just want you back... but I can't even look at you without either getting angry. What's wrong with me?! What are you hiding?
Vivio clenched her eyes shut and purged the thoughts from her mind. She was in no mood to think about this; the burning in her chest and the pain in her hand faded as she tried to focus on things that made her happy. Her friend, Syn, her mother, Fate, her sister, Keroko; anything that would take her mind off of the woman who was just below her, letting herself fall into despair.
Vivio swore not to be like that. If she had problems, she would talk about them! That's what family and friends were for! She would refuse to fall into sadness. That was not her! ...right?
Sitting up, Vivio nodded to herself. "Right. I am not her. I am not Nanoha Takamachi. I am Vivio Takamachi," it was the same speech she had given herself hundreds of times. Usually it helped. "I'll be damned if I will end up like that. I don't know what it's going to take, mama, but I know that one day, you'll get out of it..." she looked around her room as she said this - at the holes in the wall, the destroyed objects that littered the floor, the ripped posters and the computer that didn't work because Vivio had decided to throw it at Nanoha one day - and promised herself, not for the first time, that she would stop. "I have to... for her... for Fate-mama... and because it's not worth it, ne?"
She walked over to her satchel and picked it up. "Mama... I love you... really, I do... I just want to work things out between us... between all of us... before something bad happens..." setting the satchel down on her desk, Vivio pulled her cellphone out of her pocket and dialed a number, one that she had memorized. Calming herself down and trying desparately to feel normal, she sat down to do homework. As the phone rang, she picked up a pen and set it next to her left hand. While she reached in her satchel for a book, the other line picked up.
"Hey, V," Syn greeted. "...are you okay?"
"...I did it again," Vivio said after a pause, opening a science text and flipping to the correct page.
"Ah," Syn said. "Who was the victim this time?"
"The wall again," Vivio said almost casually. Pulling a piece of paper from the desk, she began to write and talk at the same time. "I'm sorry, S... I told you I'd stop this."
"And I told you it wouldn't happen overnight, V," Syn said in an almost scolding way. From the sounds in the background, Vivio decided that Syn was at a bus stop; usually the one she took home. "It's only been two weeks since you asked for my help in this. You have to give it time; like I said, you have to vent your anger, talk yourself down, and then talk with someone else about what's wrong. So, spill."
"..." Vivio paused and leaned back in her chair, sitting on two legs. "Well... I saw something today. It was a report from three years back," At the thought of the paper, Vivio felt her anger rising again, but shoved it back down. "It was... about me..."
"Oh?" Syn sounded curious. "What was it about?"
"I'm not sure... Nanoha-mama kind of tried to hide it from me." Vivio began to chew on the end of her pen. "It's really weird... but I wanna know what's in it..."
"That does seems odd," Syn agreed. "What did you see on it?"
"Something about cellular structure, a relation between me and Fate-mama... and something about 'Omicron'-"
"Woah," Syn interrupted. "Omicron? That's one of the highest levels of TSAB security!"
"Is it? I don't know... maybe I read it wrong." Vivio suddenly became worried. What is it? Am I dangerous? Do I have a disease or something? "They listed me as 'Vee Tee dash zero zero one.'"
"I'll look into it," Syn assured her. "If I find out anything, I'll let you know."
"How are you going to find out?" Vivio asked, though she was fairly certain she knew.
"Same way I find everything out! Dad's computer!" Syn said. From the sound of her voice, Vivio knew she was smiling like a Cheshire cat.
"Just don't get caught, S," Vivio told her as she sat the chair back down on four legs and stared at her science book.
"I won't! Trust me, V!"
"...okay." Vivio sighed. "One day, I'm gonna have to bail you out of jail, aren't I?"
"Nah," Syn assured her. "You won't be able to! You'll be sitting next to me in the cell!"
Vivio's eyes widened. "What?"
"Well, you know, I'm sure we'd get in trouble by having sex in the park-"
"Syn!" Vivio gasped, taking the bait. "Why would you-" Vivio was interrupted by Syn's full-throated laughter.
"You believed me again!" Syn said gleefully.
"...you know I'm not in the mood for jokes, Syn..." Vivio huffed.
"Yeah, but you feel better now, don't ya?"
Vivio paused, thinking. She realized that it felt like a small bit of weight had come off of her shoulders. "Uh... well, yeah... I do."
"See? I treat you well, V," Syn said. "Leave it to me to cheer you up, okay?"
"I don't wanna rely solely on you, S," Vivio deadpanned.
"I know, but it's nice to need each other, right?" Syn told her.
"...yeah." Vivio smiled.
"I'll tell you what I find out, V," Syn assured her.
"Okay. I look forward to it, S,".
"Bye, V,"
"Bye, S,"
Vivio hung up the phone and put it down on her desk. She always knows how to make me feel better. she mused as she dived into her homework. I wonder how?
On the floor below, Nanoha lay on the couch with a hand clutching the Sankt Kaiser report tightly. An arm rested on her closed eyes as she wondered if maybe, for once, she should go up to Vivio's room and talk to her.
No... she decided. It would cause too much grief, for either of us...
Rolling over onto her side, Nanoha used both her arms as a pillow, and tried falling asleep.

~~~New Intelligence Data Updated~~~
Question: Does anyone know what's up with the Abandoned City on Midchilda? Where exactly is it in relation to the TSAB HQ, and why is an entire city just abandoned without anyone living in there?
And before I get yelled at for not posting this in the Magic And Tech thread, I already did (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1348830&postcount=504). I was ignored.*takes a deep breath*
15 years ago, a fire broke out at a high energy plant running an experiment it wasn't supposed to run. We all know that as the Precia incident, the one that killed Alicia.
This is where Rebuilt comes in. My crack says that fire was no mere accident, but a manipulative effort to create the spark that would ravage through vast areas of land. Several leylines that conduct power across had their failsafes sabotaged, and thus reacted violently to an otherwise isolated event.
The final effect was the sacking of by magical fire of several towns and provinces within a 50mile radius, and a slow spreading magical plague that corrupted all life and rendered many more areas inhabitable. Those destroyed in the fire included Renault, Kha's town of birth and hence the last stronghold of Ancient Belka, the original Sankt Alexei Convent.
We now call those places sealed within towering walls of concrete the Plaguelands.
Anatomy of a Plagued Town: Cerulean City
A short drive from the Scarlet Temple that monitors all of the Plagued's activity within the Plaguelands, Cerulean City of Renault is the first abandoned city one encounters. The tall destroyed buildings may be barren on the exterior, but in the daylight that is just a facade that hides the tortured and twisted beings within. At nightfall, these former human beings that we call the Plagued come out to hunt and feed. As they lack the rudimentary intelligence to make tools or do any complicated actions, the wall barriers starting from Scarlet Temple and spreading Westwards and Northwards to the next outpost managed by other groups is enough to contain the threat.
Reclaimation of the Plaguelands
Due to the threat of corruption and from mutated lifeforms, reclaimation of the destroyed areas have been at best slow in progress. Over 15 years, TSAB authorities and Belka officials have worked hard to only reduce the size of the Plaguelands to 45% of the maximum extent. The stubborn core of the Plaguelands still encompasses the provinces of Renault (Southern Plaguelands), Ferrari (Northern Plaguelands) and the Ground Zero of the accident that's sandwiched by the Plaguelands, the magiengineering industrial and residential center, Stratholme.
Reclaimed Lands
Due to safety concerns, no civilian movement are allowed on former Plagueland as the TSAB has imposed a 100 year cooldown on the area so as to be completely sure the land has gone benign. However, the several stretches of abandoned airports and cities have since been earmarked as training ground for TSAB personnel, letting their sometimes wanton training crumble the buildings into powder.
Knights, as part of their training, sometimes make forays into the Plaguelands to complete quests and earn Stars that boost their licence ranking.
Consequences for Late StrikerS
Several other sites, along with some areas within the Plaguelands, soon became the battlegrounds for the Battle of Cradle in late MC 0071. Jail had discovered several weaknesses in the TSAB's ground deployment due to the Reclaimed Lands, and used them to maximum effect, forcing personnel to battle in dangerous no-man's lands. The Reclaimed and Plaguelands also proved to be havens in hiding his stealthed equipment.
By the height of the brief civil war, the TSAB were all but stunned by the sheer amount of resources that Jail had at his disposal, as well as how much he had denied the Midchilda forces.
The Forsaken
Within the last 10 years, a new group of humans emerged in the Plaguelands. Living in the sewer network of Ferrari City, these fortunate individuals who retained their sanity despite the corruption, or had broken free from the Plague's Chaos taint called themselves the Forsaken, and carved out a meagre existence from their new home they call the Undercity.
For years the Scarlet Crusade, a branch of Radical Belka aimed at destroying all of the Plagued, crossed swords with the Forsaken, and it is only recently that under Carym and Kha's brokering, and Celestial Being's repeated intervention, that the Scarlet Crusade and Forsaken were reigned in. While the civilized world continue to hold distain for the contorted Forsaken, at least a fragile peace has settled in on the Plaguelands for the first time in over a decade. And Kha, even though a Cleric-knight himself, is on good terms with the Forsaken leader Lacus Lamperouge and continues to be one of the loudest voices for Forsaken reconciliation in the civilized world.
Forsaken sometimes do show up in the Reclaimed Lands, but as long as they don't get in the way of the TSAB, this truce shall continue...*picks teeth after chewing on so much crack at once*

Tais: NO!!! GINGA-SAN, I'LL SAVE YOU!!!!
*Tais charges towards Ginga, hoists her over his shoulder and starts running in the general direction of the 108th Battalion. Unfortunately in order to carry her securely, he ends up grabbing her rear.
Ginga: Tais!! You pervert!! Let go of me!! And stop grabbing me there!!
Tais still having images of Ginga in the Man Festival: No, no no no. Not going to happen. I have to protect Ginga-san. That is not going to happen. No way. Never.
Ginga: Hentai! Sukebe! Ero-baka! Kidnapper! Molester! Someone help me!!! Subaru!
Subaru: Gin-nee!! Tais no Hentai!! Let go of Gin-nee!!
Tais still having the wrong thought: No, no, no, no, no!!
And the chase commences...
*Crash wanders in, notes the chase going by.*
CRASH: :eyebrow: I'll just keep a safe distance of fifty meters or so...
*Crash leans against something, but unfortunately: That something comes loose, setting off a chain reaction that inadvertantly takes out half the Man Festival*
EVERYONE: :twitch:
CRASH: ~_~; I can't go anywhere without something happening. It's like Seina Yamada, only without the ability to come across pirates. Anyone hurt?

Scene III. It's a little longer than the previous 2 scenes (I know because it wouldn't let me PM it to Goose).
ARQORHcRAso
Light-years away, a different door opened.
Vivio stepped inside her home and slid her shoes off, muttering a soft "I'm home." Stepping around the shoes, Vivio thought about walking straight to her room, but thought that maybe she should at least give her mom a cursory hello before starting her homework. Still my mom. She thought to herself as she walked through the corridor to the living room, heading to the kitchen in the back. The TV was on and muted, usually an indicator of Nanoha watching something she didn't like... this meant that she'd be in an even worse mood than normal.
Stopping at the threshold and peeking inside, she saw Nanoha sitting at the dining room table with her back to her daughter, reading a paper; probably work-stuff. This came as no surprise to Vivio; ever since Nanoha had come back from off-world, she landed a desk job in the TSAB facilities here in the city. Though she didn't quite understand it (having heard Nanoha's stories about flying and training others since she was six), she figured that whatever had happened had something to do with her... well, her.
For a while, Vivio said nothing as she watched her mom read. Nanoha was silent as she read, a hand playing with a strand of hair absently. Vivio imagined strained, half-squinted blue-purple eyes peering at the report, analyzing its contents and processing them for future reference. It might have been something for logistics, troop movement on the planet, or simply a memo reminding Nanoha about something important. Regardless, she was totally absorbed into it.
Vivio slowly walked up behind Nanoha, keeping her movements soft and her footsteps light, until she was totally behind her mother. She stretched up on her tiptoes, trying to get a good look at the paper.
April 4th, MC0080? she read. This report is three years old! What's she reading it-
Medical Report on Subject VT-001, Sankt Kaiser
Vivio was suddenly a lot more interested. A medical report about me? What, is there something wrong with me? And why are they calling me by my ancestor name? Narrowing her eyes, she began to read.
Captain Takamachi Nanoha,
This report is classified information, dated April 4th, MC0080, concerning the state of your adopted daughter's physical well-being. No one is allowed to see this report, not even your daughter, nor any higher-ranking friends or family. As such, this document is classified under Code OMICRON, For Your Eyes Only.
Your daughter's physical on March 21st has given the medical department some concern, believed to be related to her status as a biological copy of the Sankt Kaiser. The problem lies within her body's cellular structure; she shows the same problems as subject FT-001 (see the report on Harlown, Fate T. that we have sent you), though at an accelerated rate. We believe this to be because of prisoner JS-823543; he did not create your daughter to be a-
Nanoha suddenly started, grabbing the folder the report came in and throwing it over the papers she was looking at. "How much did you see?!"
The sudden shift in attitude caused Vivio to jump and back away from Nanoha. "Wh-what-"
"How much?!" Nanoha repeated, trying desparately to hide the documents. "You shouldn't do stuff like that, Vivio!"
"What's that report about?" Vivio reasserted herself and took a step forward, quickly shifting from surprised to suspicious. "Why is it calling me 'Sankt Kaiser'? What's wrong with my body?"
"It's nothing for you to worry about, Vivio!" Nanoha answered, picking up the last of the papers and stuffing them in the folder. "It's better if you just forgot about it, okay?"
"What's it about, Mama?" Vivio pressed. "Why won't you let me see? It's about me, my body, don't I deserve to know? Please!"
"..." Nanoha paused, looking away. "Listen, Vivio... I don't want you do know. You don't need to know. I wish I didn't know, either."
"Why is Fate-mama mentioned too?" Nanoha's weak defense had already collapsed; not surprising, as that was far too easy nowadays. "What's this stuff about celluar structures and accelerated rates? Mom, answer me!"
Nanoha simply looked away, unable to meet her daughter's eyes. "I... I can't tell you... I'm sorry."
"Stop apologizing!" Vivio shouted at her, clenching a fist. "Why do you always do this?! Why can't you be normal anymore?!"
"I..." Nanoha seemed on the verge of tears... again. "Vivio, I... I can't, okay? I can't show you."
"..." Vivio narrowed her eyes and lowered them to the ground. "Why are you doing this, mama? What happened to our family? Why are you pushing us all away now? What gives you the right to hurt my feelings this way?!"
"...it will be easier... in the long run," Nanoha said unconvincingly. "For you, and for me."
"Liar," Vivio said, her voice cracking slightly. "I hate this... you've been like this for years... I want my old mama back... not you!" Vivio turned around and stormed out of the kitchen, her hair like fire trailing behind her. Nanoha didn't watch her go, but as she heard Vivio run up the stairs and slam her door shut, she sank to her knees and put a hand to her mouth. The papers she so desparately hid from Vivio dropped to the floor, forgotten, as she sank into deep despair.
"I'm sorry..." she whispered to the air. "I can't protect you anymore... I can't stop destiny, Vivio... and I can't make it less painful," she looked to the floor, her hair falling across her shoulders like water. "I'm so sorry..."
In her room, Vivio, in her rage, threw her satchel at the far wall. She screamed, a cry of sadness of anger, and clenched her fists as tightly as she could and rammed one into the wall next to her door, cracking it vertically and splintering the drywall, forming another sore spot on a wall that already had dozens. Finding solace in the throbbing pain in her hand, Vivio dropped down on her bed. Holding the hand gently, she fought back tears of two different kinds of pain.
"I'm just like her..." she said to herself. Mama, I just want you back... but I can't even look at you without either getting angry. What's wrong with me?! What are you hiding?
Vivio clenched her eyes shut and purged the thoughts from her mind. She was in no mood to think about this; the burning in her chest and the pain in her hand faded as she tried to focus on things that made her happy. Her friend, Syn, her mother, Fate, her sister, Keroko; anything that would take her mind off of the woman who was just below her, letting herself fall into despair.
Vivio swore not to be like that. If she had problems, she would talk about them! That's what family and friends were for! She would refuse to fall into sadness. That was not her! ...right?
Sitting up, Vivio nodded to herself. "Right. I am not her. I am not Nanoha Takamachi. I am Vivio Takamachi," it was the same speech she had given herself hundreds of times. Usually it helped. "I'll be damned if I will end up like that. I don't know what it's going to take, mama, but I know that one day, you'll get out of it..." she looked around her room as she said this - at the holes in the wall, the destroyed objects that littered the floor, the ripped posters and the computer that didn't work because Vivio had decided to throw it at Nanoha one day - and promised herself, not for the first time, that she would stop. "I have to... for her... for Fate-mama... and because it's not worth it, ne?"
She walked over to her satchel and picked it up. "Mama... I love you... really, I do... I just want to work things out between us... between all of us... before something bad happens..." setting the satchel down on her desk, Vivio pulled her cellphone out of her pocket and dialed a number, one that she had memorized. Calming herself down and trying desparately to feel normal, she sat down to do homework. As the phone rang, she picked up a pen and set it next to her left hand. While she reached in her satchel for a book, the other line picked up.
"Hey, V," Syn greeted. "...are you okay?"
"...I did it again," Vivio said after a pause, opening a science text and flipping to the correct page.
"Ah," Syn said. "Who was the victim this time?"
"The wall again," Vivio said almost casually. Pulling a piece of paper from the desk, she began to write and talk at the same time. "I'm sorry, S... I told you I'd stop this."
"And I told you it wouldn't happen overnight, V," Syn said in an almost scolding way. From the sounds in the background, Vivio decided that Syn was at a bus stop; usually the one she took home. "It's only been two weeks since you asked for my help in this. You have to give it time; like I said, you have to vent your anger, talk yourself down, and then talk with someone else about what's wrong. So, spill."
"..." Vivio paused and leaned back in her chair, sitting on two legs. "Well... I saw something today. It was a report from three years back," At the thought of the paper, Vivio felt her anger rising again, but shoved it back down. "It was... about me..."
"Oh?" Syn sounded curious. "What was it about?"
"I'm not sure... Nanoha-mama kind of tried to hide it from me." Vivio began to chew on the end of her pen. "It's really weird... but I wanna know what's in it..."
"That does seems odd," Syn agreed. "What did you see on it?"
"Something about cellular structure, a relation between me and Fate-mama... and something about 'Omicron'-"
"Woah," Syn interrupted. "Omicron? That's one of the highest levels of TSAB security!"
"Is it? I don't know... maybe I read it wrong." Vivio suddenly became worried. What is it? Am I dangerous? Do I have a disease or something? "They listed me as 'Vee Tee dash zero zero one.'"
"I'll look into it," Syn assured her. "If I find out anything, I'll let you know."
"How are you going to find out?" Vivio asked, though she was fairly certain she knew.
"Same way I find everything out! Dad's computer!" Syn said. From the sound of her voice, Vivio knew she was smiling like a Cheshire cat.
"Just don't get caught, S," Vivio told her as she sat the chair back down on four legs and stared at her science book.
"I won't! Trust me, V!"
"...okay." Vivio sighed. "One day, I'm gonna have to bail you out of jail, aren't I?"
"Nah," Syn assured her. "You won't be able to! You'll be sitting next to me in the cell!"
Vivio's eyes widened. "What?"
"Well, you know, I'm sure we'd get in trouble by having sex in the park-"
"Syn!" Vivio gasped, taking the bait. "Why would you-" Vivio was interrupted by Syn's full-throated laughter.
"You believed me again!" Syn said gleefully.
"...you know I'm not in the mood for jokes, Syn..." Vivio huffed.
"Yeah, but you feel better now, don't ya?"
Vivio paused, thinking. She realized that it felt like a small bit of weight had come off of her shoulders. "Uh... well, yeah... I do."
"See? I treat you well, V," Syn said. "Leave it to me to cheer you up, okay?"
"I don't wanna rely solely on you, S," Vivio deadpanned.
"I know, but it's nice to need each other, right?" Syn told her.
"...yeah." Vivio smiled.
"I'll tell you what I find out, V," Syn assured her.
"Okay. I look forward to it, S,".
"Bye, V,"
"Bye, S,"
Vivio hung up the phone and put it down on her desk. She always knows how to make me feel better. she mused as she dived into her homework. I wonder how?
On the floor below, Nanoha lay on the couch with a hand clutching the Sankt Kaiser report tightly. An arm rested on her closed eyes as she wondered if maybe, for once, she should go up to Vivio's room and talk to her.
No... she decided. It would cause too much grief, for either of us...
Rolling over onto her side, Nanoha used both her arms as a pillow, and tried falling asleep.
I know Nanoha was supposed to be down in this arc, but DAMN... she's in a lot worse shape than I imagined her to be, and unfortunately all that negative energy's slowly leaking into Vivio with catastrophic effects :upset:
At least Syn's there to keep her sane :heh: And now the mystery begins.
Tais: NO!!! GINGA-SAN, I'LL SAVE YOU!!!!
*Tais charges towards Ginga, hoists her over his shoulder and starts running in the general direction of the 108th Battalion. Unfortunately in order to carry her securely, he ends up grabbing her rear.

~~~New Intelligence Data Updated~~~
*takes a deep breath*
15 years ago, a fire broke out at a high energy plant running an experiment it wasn't supposed to run. We all know that as the Precia incident, the one that killed Alicia.
This is where Rebuilt comes in. My crack says that fire was no mere accident, but a manipulative effort to create the spark that would ravage through vast areas of land. Several leylines that conduct power across had their failsafes sabotaged, and thus reacted violently to an otherwise isolated event.
The final effect was the sacking of by magical fire of several towns and provinces within a 50mile radius, and a slow spreading magical plague that corrupted all life and rendered many more areas inhabitable. Those destroyed in the fire included Renault, Kha's town of birth and hence the last stronghold of Ancient Belka, the original Sankt Alexei Convent.
We now call those places sealed within towering walls of concrete the Plaguelands.
Anatomy of a Plagued Town: Cerulean City
A short drive from the Scarlet Temple that monitors all of the Plagued's activity within the Plaguelands, Cerulean City of Renault is the first abandoned city one encounters. The tall destroyed buildings may be barren on the exterior, but in the daylight that is just a facade that hides the tortured and twisted beings within. At nightfall, these former human beings that we call the Plagued come out to hunt and feed. As they lack the rudimentary intelligence to make tools or do any complicated actions, the wall barriers starting from Scarlet Temple and spreading Westwards and Northwards to the next outpost managed by other groups is enough to contain the threat.
Reclaimation of the Plaguelands
Due to the threat of corruption and from mutated lifeforms, reclaimation of the destroyed areas have been at best slow in progress. Over 15 years, TSAB authorities and Belka officials have worked hard to only reduce the size of the Plaguelands to 45% of the maximum extent. The stubborn core of the Plaguelands still encompasses the provinces of Renault (Southern Plaguelands), Ferrari (Northern Plaguelands) and the Ground Zero of the accident that's sandwiched by the Plaguelands, the magiengineering industrial and residential center, Stratholme.
Reclaimed Lands
Due to safety concerns, no civilian movement are allowed on former Plagueland as the TSAB has imposed a 100 year cooldown on the area so as to be completely sure the land has gone benign. However, the several stretches of abandoned airports and cities have since been earmarked as training ground for TSAB personnel, letting their sometimes wanton training crumble the buildings into powder.
Knights, as part of their training, sometimes make forays into the Plaguelands to complete quests and earn Stars that boost their licence ranking.
Consequences for Late StrikerS
Several other sites, along with some areas within the Plaguelands, soon became the battlegrounds for the Battle of Cradle in late MC 0071. Jail had discovered several weaknesses in the TSAB's ground deployment due to the Reclaimed Lands, and used them to maximum effect, forcing personnel to battle in dangerous no-man's lands. The Reclaimed and Plaguelands also proved to be havens in hiding his stealthed equipment.
By the height of the brief civil war, the TSAB were all but stunned by the sheer amount of resources that Jail had at his disposal, as well as how much he had denied the Midchilda forces.
The Forsaken
Within the last 10 years, a new group of humans emerged in the Plaguelands. Living in the sewer network of Ferrari City, these fortunate individuals who retained their sanity despite the corruption, or had broken free from the Plague's Chaos taint called themselves the Forsaken, and carved out a meagre existence from their new home they call the Undercity.
For years the Scarlet Crusade, a branch of Radical Belka aimed at destroying all of the Plagued, crossed swords with the Forsaken, and it is only recently that under Carym and Kha's brokering, and Celestial Being's repeated intervention, that the Scarlet Crusade and Forsaken were reigned in. While the civilized world continue to hold distain for the contorted Forsaken, at least a fragile peace has settled in on the Plaguelands for the first time in over a decade. And Kha, even though a Cleric-knight himself, is on good terms with the Forsaken leader Lacus Lamperouge and continues to be one of the loudest voices for Forsaken reconciliation in the civilized world.
Forsaken sometimes do show up in the Reclaimed Lands, but as long as they don't get in the way of the TSAB, this truce shall continue...*picks teeth after chewing on so much crack at once*

You see, get these two within a few hundred feet of each other and an EXPLOSIVE reaction occurs :nod::nod::nod:
uhoh:
Something I'm thinking about, I think I can classify the differences in TAIS and CRASH's random events.
Take a scenerio with a single adjustable desk chair in an isolated room.
If TAIS sits in the chair, I'm pretty sure the chair will find some way to slip out from under him or topple unexpectedly.
If CRASH sits in the chair, nothing happens. HOWEVER... Upon finding the chair to be slightly uncomfortable, he'll reach down and grab the adjustment handle.
Now, with normal bad luck, you'd expect the handle to just snap. Not quite. Instead, the air canister that allows you to adjust the chair height will break at the connection point of the handle, causing the canister to depressurize instantly and the chair to settle/collapse under Crash. This in turn would trigger weaker components of the chair to break and snap, resulting in the chair seeming to just fall apart uncerimoniously.
Put these two in the same room together, and TAIS' luck would be the same. However, the resulting effect of that luck would push Crash's aptitude into motion, and trigger a chain reaction that would amplify the results of Tais' luck a hundred fold.
TAIS is a trigger, and Crash is an amplifier.
By himself, Crash is neutral. He destroys propperty, but it somehow never hurts anyone.
Now, if we have someone with GOOD luck, perhaps that could be used to advantage. Have a moment of good luck that seems bad at the start, sends Crash into a trigger for a chain reaction, and watch as it saves their lives by bringing something down on an opponent they hadn't noticed.
In any scenerio case, the whole MOUSETRAP effect would be entertaining to watch. Pure comedy gold.
How old is Belka? Would it be possible to have a part of ancient Belka people settling on another world, some millenium ago, losing all contact with the original Belka and deviating from the original deal as years, decades and centuries pass?

Light-years away, a different door opened.
Vivio stepped inside her home and slid her shoes off, muttering a soft "I'm home." Stepping around the shoes, Vivio thought about walking straight to her room, but thought that maybe she should at least give her mom a cursory hello before starting her homework. Still my mom. She thought to herself as she walked through the corridor to the living room, heading to the kitchen in the back. The TV was on and muted, usually an indicator of Nanoha watching something she didn't like... this meant that she'd be in an even worse mood than normal.
Stopping at the threshold and peeking inside, she saw Nanoha sitting at the dining room table with her back to her daughter, reading a paper; probably work-stuff. This came as no surprise to Vivio; ever since Nanoha had come back from off-world, she landed a desk job in the TSAB facilities here in the city. Though she didn't quite understand it (having heard Nanoha's stories about flying and training others since she was six), she figured that whatever had happened had something to do with her... well, her.
For a while, Vivio said nothing as she watched her mom read. Nanoha was silent as she read, a hand playing with a strand of hair absently. Vivio imagined strained, half-squinted blue-purple eyes peering at the report, analyzing its contents and processing them for future reference. It might have been something for logistics, troop movement on the planet, or simply a memo reminding Nanoha about something important. Regardless, she was totally absorbed into it.
Vivio slowly walked up behind Nanoha, keeping her movements soft and her footsteps light, until she was totally behind her mother. She stretched up on her tiptoes, trying to get a good look at the paper.

Nanoha suddenly started, grabbing the folder the report came in and throwing it over the papers she was looking at. "How much did you see?!"
The sudden shift in attitude caused Vivio to jump and back away from Nanoha. "Wh-what-"
"How much?!" Nanoha repeated, trying desparately to hide the documents. "You shouldn't do stuff like that, Vivio!"
"What's that report about?" Vivio reasserted herself and took a step forward, quickly shifting from surprised to suspicious. "Why is it calling me 'Sankt Kaiser'? What's wrong with my body?"
"It's nothing for you to worry about, Vivio!" Nanoha answered, picking up the last of the papers and stuffing them in the folder. "It's better if you just forgot about it, okay?"
"What's it about, Mama?" Vivio pressed. "Why won't you let me see? It's about me, my body, don't I deserve to know? Please!"
"..." Nanoha paused, looking away. "Listen, Vivio... I don't want you do know. You don't need to know. I wish I didn't know, either."
"Why is Fate-mama mentioned too?" Nanoha's weak defense had already collapsed; not surprising, as that was far too easy nowadays. "What's this stuff about celluar structures and accelerated rates? Mom, answer me!"
Nanoha simply looked away, unable to meet her daughter's eyes. "I... I can't tell you... I'm sorry."
"Stop apologizing!" Vivio shouted at her, clenching a fist. "Why do you always do this?! Why can't you be normal anymore?!"
"I..." Nanoha seemed on the verge of tears... again. "Vivio, I... I can't, okay? I can't show you."
"..." Vivio narrowed her eyes and lowered them to the ground. "Why are you doing this, mama? What happened to our family? Why are you pushing us all away now? What gives you the right to hurt my feelings this way?!"
"...it will be easier... in the long run," Nanoha said unconvincingly. "For you, and for me."
"Liar," Vivio said, her voice cracking slightly. "I hate this... you've been like this for years... I want my old mama back... not you!" Vivio turned around and stormed out of the kitchen, her hair like fire trailing behind her. Nanoha didn't watch her go, but as she heard Vivio run up the stairs and slam her door shut, she sank to her knees and put a hand to her mouth. The papers she so desparately hid from Vivio dropped to the floor, forgotten, as she sank into deep despair.
"I'm sorry..." she whispered to the air. "I can't protect you anymore... I can't stop destiny, Vivio... and I can't make it less painful," she looked to the floor, her hair falling across her shoulders like water. "I'm so sorry..."
In her room, Vivio, in her rage, threw her satchel at the far wall. She screamed, a cry of sadness of anger, and clenched her fists as tightly as she could and rammed one into the wall next to her door, cracking it vertically and splintering the drywall, forming another sore spot on a wall that already had dozens. Finding solace in the throbbing pain in her hand, Vivio dropped down on her bed. Holding the hand gently, she fought back tears of two different kinds of pain.
"I'm just like her..." she said to herself. Mama, I just want you back... but I can't even look at you without either getting angry. What's wrong with me?! What are you hiding?
Vivio clenched her eyes shut and purged the thoughts from her mind. She was in no mood to think about this; the burning in her chest and the pain in her hand faded as she tried to focus on things that made her happy. Her friend, Syn, her mother, Fate, her sister, Keroko; anything that would take her mind off of the woman who was just below her, letting herself fall into despair.
Vivio swore not to be like that. If she had problems, she would talk about them! That's what family and friends were for! She would refuse to fall into sadness. That was not her! ...right?
Sitting up, Vivio nodded to herself. "Right. I am not her. I am not Nanoha Takamachi. I am Vivio Takamachi," it was the same speech she had given herself hundreds of times. Usually it helped. "I'll be damned if I will end up like that. I don't know what it's going to take, mama, but I know that one day, you'll get out of it..." she looked around her room as she said this - at the holes in the wall, the destroyed objects that littered the floor, the ripped posters and the computer that didn't work because Vivio had decided to throw it at Nanoha one day - and promised herself, not for the first time, that she would stop. "I have to... for her... for Fate-mama... and because it's not worth it, ne?"
She walked over to her satchel and picked it up. "Mama... I love you... really, I do... I just want to work things out between us... between all of us... before something bad happens..." setting the satchel down on her desk, Vivio pulled her cellphone out of her pocket and dialed a number, one that she had memorized. Calming herself down and trying desparately to feel normal, she sat down to do homework. As the phone rang, she picked up a pen and set it next to her left hand. While she reached in her satchel for a book, the other line picked up.
"Hey, V," Syn greeted. "...are you okay?"
"...I did it again," Vivio said after a pause, opening a science text and flipping to the correct page.
"Ah," Syn said. "Who was the victim this time?"
"The wall again," Vivio said almost casually. Pulling a piece of paper from the desk, she began to write and talk at the same time. "I'm sorry, S... I told you I'd stop this."
"And I told you it wouldn't happen overnight, V," Syn said in an almost scolding way. From the sounds in the background, Vivio decided that Syn was at a bus stop; usually the one she took home. "It's only been two weeks since you asked for my help in this. You have to give it time; like I said, you have to vent your anger, talk yourself down, and then talk with someone else about what's wrong. So, spill."
"..." Vivio paused and leaned back in her chair, sitting on two legs. "Well... I saw something today. It was a report from three years back," At the thought of the paper, Vivio felt her anger rising again, but shoved it back down. "It was... about me..."
"Oh?" Syn sounded curious. "What was it about?"
"I'm not sure... Nanoha-mama kind of tried to hide it from me." Vivio began to chew on the end of her pen. "It's really weird... but I wanna know what's in it..."
"That does seems odd," Syn agreed. "What did you see on it?"
"Something about cellular structure, a relation between me and Fate-mama... and something about 'Omicron'-"
"Woah," Syn interrupted. "Omicron? That's one of the highest levels of TSAB security!"
"Is it? I don't know... maybe I read it wrong." Vivio suddenly became worried. What is it? Am I dangerous? Do I have a disease or something? "They listed me as 'Vee Tee dash zero zero one.'"
"I'll look into it," Syn assured her. "If I find out anything, I'll let you know."
"How are you going to find out?" Vivio asked, though she was fairly certain she knew.
"Same way I find everything out! Dad's computer!" Syn said. From the sound of her voice, Vivio knew she was smiling like a Cheshire cat.
"Just don't get caught, S," Vivio told her as she sat the chair back down on four legs and stared at her science book.
"I won't! Trust me, V!"
"...okay." Vivio sighed. "One day, I'm gonna have to bail you out of jail, aren't I?"
"Nah," Syn assured her. "You won't be able to! You'll be sitting next to me in the cell!"
Vivio's eyes widened. "What?"
"Well, you know, I'm sure we'd get in trouble by having sex in the park-"
"Syn!" Vivio gasped, taking the bait. "Why would you-" Vivio was interrupted by Syn's full-throated laughter.
"You believed me again!" Syn said gleefully.
"...you know I'm not in the mood for jokes, Syn..." Vivio huffed.
"Yeah, but you feel better now, don't ya?"
Vivio paused, thinking. She realized that it felt like a small bit of weight had come off of her shoulders. "Uh... well, yeah... I do."
"See? I treat you well, V," Syn said. "Leave it to me to cheer you up, okay?"
"I don't wanna rely solely on you, S," Vivio deadpanned.
"I know, but it's nice to need each other, right?" Syn told her.
"...yeah." Vivio smiled.
"I'll tell you what I find out, V," Syn assured her.
"Okay. I look forward to it, S,".
"Bye, V,"
"Bye, S,"
Vivio hung up the phone and put it down on her desk. She always knows how to make me feel better. she mused as she dived into her homework. I wonder how?
On the floor below, Nanoha lay on the couch with a hand clutching the Sankt Kaiser report tightly. An arm rested on her closed eyes as she wondered if maybe, for once, she should go up to Vivio's room and talk to her.
No... she decided. It would cause too much grief, for either of us...
Rolling over onto her side, Nanoha used both her arms as a pillow, and tried falling asleep.
This is really starting to get really intriguing...:twitch: Nanoha is...:uhoh: And more Syn-WIN here.:D:D:D
MOAR please!:D
Tais: NO!!! GINGA-SAN, I'LL SAVE YOU!!!!
*Tais charges towards Ginga, hoists her over his shoulder and starts running in the general direction of the 108th Battalion. Unfortunately in order to carry her securely, he ends up grabbing her rear.
Ginga: Tais!! You pervert!! Let go of me!! And stop grabbing me there!!
Tais still having images of Ginga in the Man Festival: No, no no no. Not going to happen. I have to protect Ginga-san. That is not going to happen. No way. Never.
Ginga: Hentai! Sukebe! Ero-baka! Kidnapper! Molester! Someone help me!!! Subaru!
Subaru: Gin-nee!! Tais no Hentai!! Let go of Gin-nee!!
Tais still having the wrong thought: No, no, no, no, no!!
And the chase commences...
I wonder how Tais can hold against a double-knuckle beatdown...:uhoh::uhoh::uhoh::heh:

Something I'm thinking about, I think I can classify the differences in TAIS and CRASH's random events.
Take a scenerio with a single adjustable desk chair in an isolated room.
If TAIS sits in the chair, I'm pretty sure the chair will find some way to slip out from under him or topple unexpectedly.
If CRASH sits in the chair, nothing happens. HOWEVER... Upon finding the chair to be slightly uncomfortable, he'll reach down and grab the adjustment handle.
Now, with normal bad luck, you'd expect the handle to just snap. Not quite. Instead, the air canister that allows you to adjust the chair height will break at the connection point of the handle, causing the canister to depressurize instantly and the chair to settle/collapse under Crash. This in turn would trigger weaker components of the chair to break and snap, resulting in the chair seeming to just fall apart uncerimoniously.
Put these two in the same room together, and TAIS' luck would be the same. However, the resulting effect of that luck would push Crash's aptitude into motion, and trigger a chain reaction that would amplify the results of Tais' luck a hundred fold.
TAIS is a trigger, and Crash is an amplifier.
By himself, Crash is neutral. He destroys propperty, but it somehow never hurts anyone.
Now, if we have someone with GOOD luck, perhaps that could be used to advantage. Have a moment of good luck that seems bad at the start, sends Crash into a trigger for a chain reaction, and watch as it saves their lives by bringing something down on an opponent they hadn't noticed.
In any scenerio case, the whole MOUSETRAP effect would be entertaining to watch. Pure comedy gold.
Murphy has a soft spot for these two doesn't he? :heh:
... I think the Tais/Crash combination is going to be ideal in busting up Fate Alteration Machines, Laplace Demon Computers and the like... the concentration of BAD LUCK would mess up any calculation :eyespin::eyespin::eyespin:
I should have used this for backlog-breaking...:(

Scene III. It's a little longer than the previous 2 scenes (I know because it wouldn't let me PM it to Goose).
ARQORHcRAso
Light-years away, a different door opened.
Vivio stepped inside her home and slid her shoes off, muttering a soft "I'm home." Stepping around the shoes, Vivio thought about walking straight to her room, but thought that maybe she should at least give her mom a cursory hello before starting her homework. Still my mom. She thought to herself as she walked through the corridor to the living room, heading to the kitchen in the back. The TV was on and muted, usually an indicator of Nanoha watching something she didn't like... this meant that she'd be in an even worse mood than normal.
Stopping at the threshold and peeking inside, she saw Nanoha sitting at the dining room table with her back to her daughter, reading a paper; probably work-stuff. This came as no surprise to Vivio; ever since Nanoha had come back from off-world, she landed a desk job in the TSAB facilities here in the city. Though she didn't quite understand it (having heard Nanoha's stories about flying and training others since she was six), she figured that whatever had happened had something to do with her... well, her.
For a while, Vivio said nothing as she watched her mom read. Nanoha was silent as she read, a hand playing with a strand of hair absently. Vivio imagined strained, half-squinted blue-purple eyes peering at the report, analyzing its contents and processing them for future reference. It might have been something for logistics, troop movement on the planet, or simply a memo reminding Nanoha about something important. Regardless, she was totally absorbed into it.
Vivio slowly walked up behind Nanoha, keeping her movements soft and her footsteps light, until she was totally behind her mother. She stretched up on her tiptoes, trying to get a good look at the paper.
April 4th, MC0080? she read. This report is three years old! What's she reading it-
Medical Report on Subject VT-001, Sankt Kaiser
Vivio was suddenly a lot more interested. A medical report about me? What, is there something wrong with me? And why are they calling me by my ancestor name? Narrowing her eyes, she began to read.
Captain Takamachi Nanoha,
This report is classified information, dated April 4th, MC0080, concerning the state of your adopted daughter's physical well-being. No one is allowed to see this report, not even your daughter, nor any higher-ranking friends or family. As such, this document is classified under Code OMICRON, For Your Eyes Only.
Your daughter's physical on March 21st has given the medical department some concern, believed to be related to her status as a biological copy of the Sankt Kaiser. The problem lies within her body's cellular structure; she shows the same problems as subject FT-001 (see the report on Harlown, Fate T. that we have sent you), though at an accelerated rate. We believe this to be because of prisoner JS-823543; he did not create your daughter to be a-
Nanoha suddenly started, grabbing the folder the report came in and throwing it over the papers she was looking at. "How much did you see?!"
The sudden shift in attitude caused Vivio to jump and back away from Nanoha. "Wh-what-"
"How much?!" Nanoha repeated, trying desparately to hide the documents. "You shouldn't do stuff like that, Vivio!"
"What's that report about?" Vivio reasserted herself and took a step forward, quickly shifting from surprised to suspicious. "Why is it calling me 'Sankt Kaiser'? What's wrong with my body?"
"It's nothing for you to worry about, Vivio!" Nanoha answered, picking up the last of the papers and stuffing them in the folder. "It's better if you just forgot about it, okay?"
"What's it about, Mama?" Vivio pressed. "Why won't you let me see? It's about me, my body, don't I deserve to know? Please!"
"..." Nanoha paused, looking away. "Listen, Vivio... I don't want you do know. You don't need to know. I wish I didn't know, either."
"Why is Fate-mama mentioned too?" Nanoha's weak defense had already collapsed; not surprising, as that was far too easy nowadays. "What's this stuff about celluar structures and accelerated rates? Mom, answer me!"
Nanoha simply looked away, unable to meet her daughter's eyes. "I... I can't tell you... I'm sorry."
"Stop apologizing!" Vivio shouted at her, clenching a fist. "Why do you always do this?! Why can't you be normal anymore?!"
"I..." Nanoha seemed on the verge of tears... again. "Vivio, I... I can't, okay? I can't show you."
"..." Vivio narrowed her eyes and lowered them to the ground. "Why are you doing this, mama? What happened to our family? Why are you pushing us all away now? What gives you the right to hurt my feelings this way?!"
"...it will be easier... in the long run," Nanoha said unconvincingly. "For you, and for me."
"Liar," Vivio said, her voice cracking slightly. "I hate this... you've been like this for years... I want my old mama back... not you!" Vivio turned around and stormed out of the kitchen, her hair like fire trailing behind her. Nanoha didn't watch her go, but as she heard Vivio run up the stairs and slam her door shut, she sank to her knees and put a hand to her mouth. The papers she so desparately hid from Vivio dropped to the floor, forgotten, as she sank into deep despair.
"I'm sorry..." she whispered to the air. "I can't protect you anymore... I can't stop destiny, Vivio... and I can't make it less painful," she looked to the floor, her hair falling across her shoulders like water. "I'm so sorry..."
In her room, Vivio, in her rage, threw her satchel at the far wall. She screamed, a cry of sadness of anger, and clenched her fists as tightly as she could and rammed one into the wall next to her door, cracking it vertically and splintering the drywall, forming another sore spot on a wall that already had dozens. Finding solace in the throbbing pain in her hand, Vivio dropped down on her bed. Holding the hand gently, she fought back tears of two different kinds of pain.
"I'm just like her..." she said to herself. Mama, I just want you back... but I can't even look at you without either getting angry. What's wrong with me?! What are you hiding?

Calming herself down and trying desparately to feel normal, she sat down to do homework. As the phone rang, she picked up a pen and set it next to her left hand. While she reached in her satchel for a book, the other line picked up.
"Hey, V," Syn greeted. "...are you okay?"

"I'll look into it," Syn assured her. "If I find out anything, I'll let you know."
"How are you going to find out?" Vivio asked, though she was fairly certain she knew.
"Same way I find everything out! Dad's computer!" Syn said. From the sound of her voice, Vivio knew she was smiling like a Cheshire cat.
"Just don't get caught, S," Vivio told her as she sat the chair back down on four legs and stared at her science book.
"I won't! Trust me, V!"
"...okay." Vivio sighed. "One day, I'm gonna have to bail you out of jail, aren't I?"
"Nah," Syn assured her. "You won't be able to! You'll be sitting next to me in the cell!"
Vivio's eyes widened. "What?"
"Well, you know, I'm sure we'd get in trouble by having sex in the park-"
"Syn!" Vivio gasped, taking the bait. "Why would you-" Vivio was interrupted by Syn's full-throated laughter.
"You believed me again!" Syn said gleefully.
"...you know I'm not in the mood for jokes, Syn..." Vivio huffed.
"Yeah, but you feel better now, don't ya?"
Vivio paused, thinking. She realized that it felt like a small bit of weight had come off of her shoulders. "Uh... well, yeah... I do."
"See? I treat you well, V," Syn said. "Leave it to me to cheer you up, okay?"
"I don't wanna rely solely on you, S," Vivio deadpanned.
"I know, but it's nice to need each other, right?" Syn told her.
"...yeah." Vivio smiled.
"I'll tell you what I find out, V," Syn assured her.
"Okay. I look forward to it, S,".
"Bye, V,"
"Bye, S,"
Vivio hung up the phone and put it down on her desk. She always knows how to make me feel better. she mused as she dived into her homework. I wonder how?

Gemi-stigma! It's happening again!!! :eyespin: I wonder who's gonna sacrifice a powerful divine spell and do that baptism ritual to rebirth Vivio...For those who are out of the loop, Fate had that disease with afflicts all clones born without blessing of the Naaru. In order to fix it, as part of Kha long fight against his destiny, he sacrificed the indomitable "Augen des Gottes", his only attack spell that really had bite and went through great lengths to "rebirth" Fate.
Needless to say, he succeeded. But losing that spell, and having stressed himself to near-unconciousness later almost cost him his life.
Like Mwu la Fllaga. Length of time spent "dead" included.This is turning out really awesome. :nod:

WOW, Kaempfer's been very industrious these past few years hasn't he? :nod:
I presume, after about 300 cans of Powerthirst?:nono:
Sophia: Dragons produce whelps in litters of about 2 dozens on average. While 12,000 is certainly an exaggeration (and I can't imagine Kaempfer and Wira just sitting around and making out for 4 years straight :uhoh:), Kaempfer officially has 72 whelps to care for.
Not that it matters. Kaempfer's dragonflight has several sisters, mothers and grandmothers to help out.
It's like a private army, if you look at the full family tree... :heh:
(And I hereby stage my comeback!)
Hmmm, backlog. I'll have to do bigger breakers for a while, concidering I'm also spending some leasure time in the fanfiction thread these days working on my non-Nanofate Dating Sim (staring Nanoha as the lead character).
So she's probably just used to be quite a bit more shy about it than Vivio, hence the eyepatch? Hmm... well, at any rate, I'll leave it on. Somehow makes her more badass XD.
In the beginning, yes. She was already labelled because of her parents, so she hid her eyes to avoid being labelled because of that as well (of course, the fact that very few people walk around with eyepatches totally escaped her six-year-old mind :p) In the more recent days, she keeps it on because it radiates an aura badass, which she uses to much intimidate those who try to insult her.
XDDD . She's no slouch in the Device-less hand-to-hand department either.
And Alpha profile for Syn = DO WANT.
Working on it, I'm still thinking on what her device should be... In my opinion, a device is very important for ones style of combat. Part of the reason why I'm not too fond of Teana's dagger mode is because it clashes with her style of combat. To me it's more a last resort weapon then a good melee weapon.
:heh: It's hard for me to judge, even in my own "experience" as a Vice Admiral (Read: As part of my AC Clan). I'm hoping to set things up for a three-way tactical debate between Tesla, Chrono, and Mandy though, just for laughs.
AC? What's that?
Waitwait. The Takamachi family sword-styles are Mikami-ryuu and Fuwa-ryuu, according to the wiki.
I always wondered if Nanoha knew at least a "little" bit about them.
Well, while Nanoha didn't practice it herself, we know she did watch her siblings from time to time, so we can safely say that she does know a little about them.
As for swordsmanship:Notice the wording "stick to stick" at the end. It's my term for non-magical combat. And she's fast and smart enough to use the terrain around her and avoid low-rank magical attacks to get a kendo strike through.
Anyway, Sunny-chan isn't frontline staff, but now is on OJT as a melee combat instructor as Saint Church. As such there's not much chance of her meeting combat anyway.
As for your point, I'd like to point out that Artei's blade is just that, a piece of metal. But what makes it special is that it's made of Gerbera Straight, a rare metal that imbibes mana readily and strengthens itself. While Hina can't strengthen the blade passively like Artei can, the metal will absorb mana from attacks it intercepts and resist the attack fully, so a certain extent of course, and not as much as a Convocator can, but she then makes up for it with the rest of her skill.
Sou, a second person using a Gerbera Straight weapon has appeared... Gotta love Lowe Gowe's sword. :3
*runs*
In other words, instructor, but not a combatant, yes?
@Thread:
~~~Newest Rebuilt proposals~~~
- One of the Chapels in Crenagan City managed by the Alexei Convent is "Church of Alexander Mark".
- Artei once worked as Arisa's poor-man's faced butler, especially during A's Destiny.
- Arisa's grandfather owns factories that build super-advanced robots, and some are just too advanced to be used on the 97th alone.
- And due to the transdimensional trade, Arisa, like Suzuka and as stated in canon, is super-rich.
- We all know how Nanoha, Arisa and Suzuka all love video games... Now just crank it up a bit.
- Arisa has a cousin who aspires to be a slapstick comedian.
- Arisa skipped 2 grades before.
- Suzuka has a nasty habit of getting herself lost within a microsecond.
- VERY DEBATABLE: Arisa has fond feelings for Artei, and so does Himawari.
Any reason for the 'grandfather interdimensional trade' thing?
:bow::bow::bow:
Nice!:D:D:D Syn's character is WIN!:D:D:D
Deshou? :D
Now I just have to finish her Alpha profile... Hmm, mind if I use Aurion as an explanation how a 14 year old got her hands on a device?
Question: Does anyone know what's up with the Abandoned City on Midchilda? Where exactly is it in relation to the TSAB HQ, and why is an entire city just abandoned without anyone living in there?
And before I get yelled at for not posting this in the Magic And Tech thread, I already did (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1348830&postcount=504). I was ignored.
My personal theory is that those are remains of the last great war. It wasn't cleaned up for many years due to personel, time and money constraints, so in the end they smply gave up on cleaning it up and instead transformed it into the training parcours you see in Episode 1.
Scene III. It's a little longer than the previous 2 scenes (I know because it wouldn't let me PM it to Goose).
ARQORHcRAso
Light-years away, a different door opened.
Vivio stepped inside her home and slid her shoes off, muttering a soft "I'm home." Stepping around the shoes, Vivio thought about walking straight to her room, but thought that maybe she should at least give her mom a cursory hello before starting her homework. Still my mom. She thought to herself as she walked through the corridor to the living room, heading to the kitchen in the back. The TV was on and muted, usually an indicator of Nanoha watching something she didn't like... this meant that she'd be in an even worse mood than normal.
Stopping at the threshold and peeking inside, she saw Nanoha sitting at the dining room table with her back to her daughter, reading a paper; probably work-stuff. This came as no surprise to Vivio; ever since Nanoha had come back from off-world, she landed a desk job in the TSAB facilities here in the city. Though she didn't quite understand it (having heard Nanoha's stories about flying and training others since she was six), she figured that whatever had happened had something to do with her... well, her.
For a while, Vivio said nothing as she watched her mom read. Nanoha was silent as she read, a hand playing with a strand of hair absently. Vivio imagined strained, half-squinted blue-purple eyes peering at the report, analyzing its contents and processing them for future reference. It might have been something for logistics, troop movement on the planet, or simply a memo reminding Nanoha about something important. Regardless, she was totally absorbed into it.
Vivio slowly walked up behind Nanoha, keeping her movements soft and her footsteps light, until she was totally behind her mother. She stretched up on her tiptoes, trying to get a good look at the paper.
April 4th, MC0080? she read. This report is three years old! What's she reading it-
Medical Report on Subject VT-001, Sankt Kaiser
Vivio was suddenly a lot more interested. A medical report about me? What, is there something wrong with me? And why are they calling me by my ancestor name? Narrowing her eyes, she began to read.
Captain Takamachi Nanoha,
This report is classified information, dated April 4th, MC0080, concerning the state of your adopted daughter's physical well-being. No one is allowed to see this report, not even your daughter, nor any higher-ranking friends or family. As such, this document is classified under Code OMICRON, For Your Eyes Only.
Your daughter's physical on March 21st has given the medical department some concern, believed to be related to her status as a biological copy of the Sankt Kaiser. The problem lies within her body's cellular structure; she shows the same problems as subject FT-001 (see the report on Harlown, Fate T. that we have sent you), though at an accelerated rate. We believe this to be because of prisoner JS-823543; he did not create your daughter to be a-
Nanoha suddenly started, grabbing the folder the report came in and throwing it over the papers she was looking at. "How much did you see?!"
The sudden shift in attitude caused Vivio to jump and back away from Nanoha. "Wh-what-"
"How much?!" Nanoha repeated, trying desparately to hide the documents. "You shouldn't do stuff like that, Vivio!"
"What's that report about?" Vivio reasserted herself and took a step forward, quickly shifting from surprised to suspicious. "Why is it calling me 'Sankt Kaiser'? What's wrong with my body?"
"It's nothing for you to worry about, Vivio!" Nanoha answered, picking up the last of the papers and stuffing them in the folder. "It's better if you just forgot about it, okay?"
"What's it about, Mama?" Vivio pressed. "Why won't you let me see? It's about me, my body, don't I deserve to know? Please!"
"..." Nanoha paused, looking away. "Listen, Vivio... I don't want you do know. You don't need to know. I wish I didn't know, either."
"Why is Fate-mama mentioned too?" Nanoha's weak defense had already collapsed; not surprising, as that was far too easy nowadays. "What's this stuff about celluar structures and accelerated rates? Mom, answer me!"
Nanoha simply looked away, unable to meet her daughter's eyes. "I... I can't tell you... I'm sorry."
"Stop apologizing!" Vivio shouted at her, clenching a fist. "Why do you always do this?! Why can't you be normal anymore?!"
"I..." Nanoha seemed on the verge of tears... again. "Vivio, I... I can't, okay? I can't show you."
"..." Vivio narrowed her eyes and lowered them to the ground. "Why are you doing this, mama? What happened to our family? Why are you pushing us all away now? What gives you the right to hurt my feelings this way?!"
"...it will be easier... in the long run," Nanoha said unconvincingly. "For you, and for me."
"Liar," Vivio said, her voice cracking slightly. "I hate this... you've been like this for years... I want my old mama back... not you!" Vivio turned around and stormed out of the kitchen, her hair like fire trailing behind her. Nanoha didn't watch her go, but as she heard Vivio run up the stairs and slam her door shut, she sank to her knees and put a hand to her mouth. The papers she so desparately hid from Vivio dropped to the floor, forgotten, as she sank into deep despair.
"I'm sorry..." she whispered to the air. "I can't protect you anymore... I can't stop destiny, Vivio... and I can't make it less painful," she looked to the floor, her hair falling across her shoulders like water. "I'm so sorry..."
In her room, Vivio, in her rage, threw her satchel at the far wall. She screamed, a cry of sadness of anger, and clenched her fists as tightly as she could and rammed one into the wall next to her door, cracking it vertically and splintering the drywall, forming another sore spot on a wall that already had dozens. Finding solace in the throbbing pain in her hand, Vivio dropped down on her bed. Holding the hand gently, she fought back tears of two different kinds of pain.
"I'm just like her..." she said to herself. Mama, I just want you back... but I can't even look at you without either getting angry. What's wrong with me?! What are you hiding?
Vivio clenched her eyes shut and purged the thoughts from her mind. She was in no mood to think about this; the burning in her chest and the pain in her hand faded as she tried to focus on things that made her happy. Her friend, Syn, her mother, Fate, her sister, Keroko; anything that would take her mind off of the woman who was just below her, letting herself fall into despair.
Vivio swore not to be like that. If she had problems, she would talk about them! That's what family and friends were for! She would refuse to fall into sadness. That was not her! ...right?
Sitting up, Vivio nodded to herself. "Right. I am not her. I am not Nanoha Takamachi. I am Vivio Takamachi," it was the same speech she had given herself hundreds of times. Usually it helped. "I'll be damned if I will end up like that. I don't know what it's going to take, mama, but I know that one day, you'll get out of it..." she looked around her room as she said this - at the holes in the wall, the destroyed objects that littered the floor, the ripped posters and the computer that didn't work because Vivio had decided to throw it at Nanoha one day - and promised herself, not for the first time, that she would stop. "I have to... for her... for Fate-mama... and because it's not worth it, ne?"
She walked over to her satchel and picked it up. "Mama... I love you... really, I do... I just want to work things out between us... between all of us... before something bad happens..." setting the satchel down on her desk, Vivio pulled her cellphone out of her pocket and dialed a number, one that she had memorized. Calming herself down and trying desparately to feel normal, she sat down to do homework. As the phone rang, she picked up a pen and set it next to her left hand. While she reached in her satchel for a book, the other line picked up.
"Hey, V," Syn greeted. "...are you okay?"
"...I did it again," Vivio said after a pause, opening a science text and flipping to the correct page.
"Ah," Syn said. "Who was the victim this time?"
"The wall again," Vivio said almost casually. Pulling a piece of paper from the desk, she began to write and talk at the same time. "I'm sorry, S... I told you I'd stop this."
"And I told you it wouldn't happen overnight, V," Syn said in an almost scolding way. From the sounds in the background, Vivio decided that Syn was at a bus stop; usually the one she took home. "It's only been two weeks since you asked for my help in this. You have to give it time; like I said, you have to vent your anger, talk yourself down, and then talk with someone else about what's wrong. So, spill."
"..." Vivio paused and leaned back in her chair, sitting on two legs. "Well... I saw something today. It was a report from three years back," At the thought of the paper, Vivio felt her anger rising again, but shoved it back down. "It was... about me..."
"Oh?" Syn sounded curious. "What was it about?"
"I'm not sure... Nanoha-mama kind of tried to hide it from me." Vivio began to chew on the end of her pen. "It's really weird... but I wanna know what's in it..."
"That does seems odd," Syn agreed. "What did you see on it?"
"Something about cellular structure, a relation between me and Fate-mama... and something about 'Omicron'-"
"Woah," Syn interrupted. "Omicron? That's one of the highest levels of TSAB security!"
"Is it? I don't know... maybe I read it wrong." Vivio suddenly became worried. What is it? Am I dangerous? Do I have a disease or something? "They listed me as 'Vee Tee dash zero zero one.'"
"I'll look into it," Syn assured her. "If I find out anything, I'll let you know."
"How are you going to find out?" Vivio asked, though she was fairly certain she knew.
"Same way I find everything out! Dad's computer!" Syn said. From the sound of her voice, Vivio knew she was smiling like a Cheshire cat.
"Just don't get caught, S," Vivio told her as she sat the chair back down on four legs and stared at her science book.
"I won't! Trust me, V!"
"...okay." Vivio sighed. "One day, I'm gonna have to bail you out of jail, aren't I?"
"Nah," Syn assured her. "You won't be able to! You'll be sitting next to me in the cell!"
Vivio's eyes widened. "What?"
"Well, you know, I'm sure we'd get in trouble by having sex in the park-"
"Syn!" Vivio gasped, taking the bait. "Why would you-" Vivio was interrupted by Syn's full-throated laughter.
"You believed me again!" Syn said gleefully.
"...you know I'm not in the mood for jokes, Syn..." Vivio huffed.
"Yeah, but you feel better now, don't ya?"
Vivio paused, thinking. She realized that it felt like a small bit of weight had come off of her shoulders. "Uh... well, yeah... I do."
"See? I treat you well, V," Syn said. "Leave it to me to cheer you up, okay?"
"I don't wanna rely solely on you, S," Vivio deadpanned.
"I know, but it's nice to need each other, right?" Syn told her.
"...yeah." Vivio smiled.
"I'll tell you what I find out, V," Syn assured her.
"Okay. I look forward to it, S,".
"Bye, V,"
"Bye, S,"
Vivio hung up the phone and put it down on her desk. She always knows how to make me feel better. she mused as she dived into her homework. I wonder how?
On the floor below, Nanoha lay on the couch with a hand clutching the Sankt Kaiser report tightly. An arm rested on her closed eyes as she wondered if maybe, for once, she should go up to Vivio's room and talk to her.
No... she decided. It would cause too much grief, for either of us...
Rolling over onto her side, Nanoha used both her arms as a pillow, and tried falling asleep.
.... You're a cruel person, giving me all that Syn character development and hitting it spot on. It's like Tesla all over again!
As for Nanoha, I find it likely that she is so down, concidering the madness revolves around Vivio. I mean, we know Nanoha gets emo when things revolve around Vivio, we've even been shown that in the anime.
Tais: NO!!! GINGA-SAN, I'LL SAVE YOU!!!!
*Tais charges towards Ginga, hoists her over his shoulder and starts running in the general direction of the 108th Battalion. Unfortunately in order to carry her securely, he ends up grabbing her rear.
Ginga: Tais!! You pervert!! Let go of me!! And stop grabbing me there!!
Tais still having images of Ginga in the Man Festival: No, no no no. Not going to happen. I have to protect Ginga-san. That is not going to happen. No way. Never.
Ginga: Hentai! Sukebe! Ero-baka! Kidnapper! Molester! Someone help me!!! Subaru!
Subaru: Gin-nee!! Tais no Hentai!! Let go of Gin-nee!!
Tais still having the wrong thought: No, no, no, no, no!!
And the chase commences...
And Tais returns with style! :D:D:D
:twitch::twitch::twitch::twitch:
So the entire abandoned city area is LEVEL-UP country?!?
*RUNS*
Well, concidering its being used by the TSAB as a test ground for their mages to allow them to level up rise in mage rank...
Something I'm thinking about, I think I can classify the differences in TAIS and CRASH's random events.
Take a scenerio with a single adjustable desk chair in an isolated room.
If TAIS sits in the chair, I'm pretty sure the chair will find some way to slip out from under him or topple unexpectedly.
If CRASH sits in the chair, nothing happens. HOWEVER... Upon finding the chair to be slightly uncomfortable, he'll reach down and grab the adjustment handle.
Now, with normal bad luck, you'd expect the handle to just snap. Not quite. Instead, the air canister that allows you to adjust the chair height will break at the connection point of the handle, causing the canister to depressurize instantly and the chair to settle/collapse under Crash. This in turn would trigger weaker components of the chair to break and snap, resulting in the chair seeming to just fall apart uncerimoniously.
Put these two in the same room together, and TAIS' luck would be the same. However, the resulting effect of that luck would push Crash's aptitude into motion, and trigger a chain reaction that would amplify the results of Tais' luck a hundred fold.
TAIS is a trigger, and Crash is an amplifier.
By himself, Crash is neutral. He destroys propperty, but it somehow never hurts anyone.
Now, if we have someone with GOOD luck, perhaps that could be used to advantage. Have a moment of good luck that seems bad at the start, sends Crash into a trigger for a chain reaction, and watch as it saves their lives by bringing something down on an opponent they hadn't noticed.
In any scenerio case, the whole MOUSETRAP effect would be entertaining to watch. Pure comedy gold.
Amplifier? Ooh, the ideas that make their way into my head right now. :D Now this is an idea I really like.
How old is Belka? Would it be possible to have a part of ancient Belka people settling on another world, some millenium ago, losing all contact with the original Belka and deviating from the original deal as years, decades and centuries pass?
We don't know how old Belka is exactly, in fact we don't even have rough estimate. I wouldn't say Belka is 'several' milenia, though.
(And I hereby stage my comeback!)
Welcome back. :D

… or at least, that’s what Asagi would want you to believe.
Asagi was born into the inner circle of wealth via parents Allen and Amelia Colwell, the 4th generation heads of Colwell Heavy Industries, one of the largest manufacturers of heavy industrial and commercial equipment and vehicles in Midchilda. As the only child, and with no male siblings forthcoming, Asagi became the sole heir to her family’s legacy; as such was raised with all the expectations of the day when she would take over responsibility for the multi-million dollar family business.
This decadent and secure lifestyle of preparation and study did not appeal to the young Asagi, who seemed to long for something more, a meaning and purpose to her life beyond the prospect of being heir to the family fortune. Eternally bored and hopelessly apathetic it seemed that she was doomed to a life of predictability and clockwork.
That meaning soon came knocking into her doorstep one day via a visit from her long-time friend Mayura Labatt, who had just returned with her family from a vacation on Earth, the 97th Administered World. Bearing gifts from her trip Mayura excitedly showed off her spoils to the normally uninterested Asagi, one of them being a DVD of an entire season of the live-action show “GoGo Sentai Boukenger” .
----------
“Even in this era, there are those that venture into unknown worlds.
They are called “Adventurers”.”
----------
It only took 25 minutes. But a burning passion had been ignited. And when she found out that this was only the tip of the iceberg, Asagi was hooked permanently.
Her obsession known as “Super Sentai” was born.
Endowed with the newly inspired values of Courage and Justice, Asagi aspired to become like the transforming heroes she idolized. It helped that she had innate magical aptitude, and had been a prominent figure in sports, particularly the swordsmanship known as “Kendo”. And so despite her parent’s misgivings, she enrolled into the Time Space Administration Bureau Cadet Academy along with her friends Mayura Labatt and Julie Liu Ming to train as Bureau mages at the age of 13.
By this time the events of the Book of Darkness case had accelerated the revival of Belka-style combat magic, and the three girls were chosen to partake in study under the now three-year-old experimental Class 0061-Q, the first batch of cadets to learn the discipline to be known as Neo-Belka. It was here that they displayed their uncanny prowess in close combat and martial arts. Asagi in particular was known as the best swordfighter of the class, and was even considered to be close to the league of known melee specialists like Fate Testarossa and the Wolkenritter Signum… if only she didn’t have a penchant for Super Sentai-inspired theatrics and drama, which earned her and her friends - now calling themselves the “Belkarangers” - equal parts amusement, frustration and disbelief amongst their peers and superiors.
The most memorable of these incidents was during their final live-fire obstacle course, when Asagi, Mayura and Julie performed a 2-minute long flashy transformation and roll call complete with lighting effects and fireworks… in the middle of combat with hundreds of training rounds and ordnance flying everywhere. Incredulously enough, the three girls not only managed to complete the course completely unscathed, but also nabbed the 2nd fastest time for the class, losing only by a couple of seconds to Cadet Glock Heckler.
------
Eyes rolled at the reading of the last part.
“You know what I’m gonna say about that Kay.”
“I didn’t say anything. See?”
With tongue in cheek, Kay continued typing.
-------
Nonetheless, Asagi, along with Mayura and Julie graduated with flying colors, and served under the 79th Ground Batallion under General Hiram Maxim’s command for 8 years, alongside squadmates Shinobu Nakajima, Darry Milfuelle, and underlings Remington Smith and Colt Wesson.
They were honorably discharged from service after their mandatory term ended in October MC0072 – only a few weeks before the 79th would be engaged in the “Hell Girl” incident, which would see the loss of many of their former comrades, including the devastating loss of close personal friend Shinobu Nakajima.
In memory of her fallen friend, Asagi has founded the Search Guard Successor Foundation (or S.G.S.), a secret privately-funded freelance organization working closely with the TSAB dedicated to searching for and cataloging Lost Logia (which Asagi refers to by the alternative term “Precious") in the hopes of preventing more Lost Logia incidents from happening. Recently the SGS once lent limited aid to the Bureau’s special taskforce Riot Force 6, providing anonymous tips and information regarding the location of various artifacts and Lost Logia.
Today, Asagi’s Belkarangers continue their hunt for Lost Logia, and fighting to prevent the valued artifacts from falling into the wrong hands… and looking cool, snip and awesome while doing so, in the spirit of the show long ago that changed her life forever.
-----------
Personality:
If there’s one word to describe Asagi, it would be this:
EXTREME
Asagi is a person who lets her emotions take over and run wild in a rampage once something ignites her passions, and for maximum effect nothing gets her passions burning more than a good dose of Super Sentai.
She’s a person whose emotions and feelings reach the limits of the emotional spectrum: in a single moment she can experience the highest of highs, then crash into the lowest depths of depression, then a minute later rebound into a ball of energy like the best thing in the world just happened. And once her mind has been set on a particular task at hand Asagi’s persistence to complete it borders on the unbelievable: much like trying to stop a speeding truck with your bare hands, Asagi’s stubbornness in completing what she started is impossible, lest one is willing to become Supermanto stop her. This stubbornness is legendary amongst everyone she meets, and especially her friends.
Along with these emotional highs Asagi has a flair for the dramatic bordering into the absurd. Given the choice between two equally effective plans in any situation, Asagi will choose the most direct method and transform it into the flashiest, most dramatic, most explosive operation ever complete with DYNAMIC ENTRY, HENSHIN, ROLL CALL and SPECIAL EFFECTS, and sparing no expense and pulling no punches in execution no matter how ludicrous the plan may sound on paper.
(Mayura and Julie call this the “Dynaman Syndrome”, aka “You can never have too many explosions”).
Thankfully her two friends refine her plans into a more sensible working draft before execution.
But full of energy doesn’t mean totally mindless: Asagi was raised as heir to a massive multi-million dollar industrial company built on technology, and as such has the smarts to participate in business and financially related matters, and when absolutely required she is able to play the role of the dainty, restrained and gentle young princess, graceful and elegant in manner and poise.
(It has been suggested that perhaps it’s the massive amounts of energy trapped and repressed when Asagi acts in such a manner that explains where her… explosive behavior afterwards.)
Still, for all her loud and rash behavior Asagi is surprisingly difficult to anger, perhaps due to the optimism she has acquired over the years, and her naturally forgiving nature (some have dubbed her the Goddess of Forgiveness for it). But as with everything she does, once her wrath has been released her fury shall not be sated until her grudge lies on the floor in the puddle of their own blood, preferably chopped up into tiny little pieces (Thankfully Mayura and Julie have prevented Asagi from progressing past the point of making the victim unrecognizable) – or she is appeased through a good showing of "MOERO RESCUE TAMASHII".
All this has stemmed from Asagi’s love of the show that defined her life: Super Sentai. She breathes, she eats, she sleeps, she dreams – in short, she LIVES Super Sentai. Her devotion to Super Sentai has sometimes bordered on the downright OBSESSIVE, like the infamous Shopping Spree of 2011 that left many a retailer on Japan several thousand dollars richer, store shelves empty, and has caused many less fortunate Super Sentai fans in much wailing and gnashing of teeth as stores waited to be restocked of their much beloved merchandise.
As is the case with many who are exposed to Japanese culture and are enamored by it, Asagi intersperses Japanese a lot into her speech, sometimes with unintelligible results. And one of Asagi’s pet peeves is in people bunching together Super Sentai with its Americanized counterpart Power Rangers, going out of her way to ‘educate’ people on the difference between the two franchises, and on how the latter is inferior to the origina-
-----
“Kay, what'd I tell you?"
“Sorry Glock… couldn’t resist.”
*backspace*
-----
… the two franchises.
Despite her many eccentricities (or perhaps because of it), Asagi is still well-loved by those closest to her, especially Mayura and Julie, and her unrelenting perseverance and determination has at least earned her the respect of many of her colleagues. Also, her unique brand of Super Sentai wisdom and energy has rubbed off a few people not only with Mayura and Julie, but most notably on the gunslinger pair Remington Smith and Colt Wesson, transforming them into the crack duo they are today.

Now, if we have someone with GOOD luck, perhaps that could be used to advantage. Have a moment of good luck that seems bad at the start, sends Crash into a trigger for a chain reaction, and watch as it saves their lives by bringing something down on an opponent they hadn't noticed.
In any scenerio case, the whole MOUSETRAP effect would be entertaining to watch. Pure comedy gold.Not exactly. I think its a bit more different than that. Tais's bad luck is with living things while Crash's is with mechanical ones.
Taking the above example, putting Tais alone in a room does nothing while I think Crash would somehow break stuff. Putting them both together isn't a mousetrap effect, its more likely to be a domino effect where Tais would trigger Crash's bad luck who in turn would trigger Tais's. The end result would more like be (in the very absolute worst case scenario) total destruction of the building where the room is located and maximum embarrassment (and most likely some injuries) to everyone in the building. And both of them would be blamed. :)
Although the most likely thing that would happen (in my opinion) would be Crash breaking something in such a way which would somehow attract someone to the room and the conclusion that person would naturally make when looking in would be something perverse was going on, judging from the positions/situation the two are in.

Hey what's this? An honest to goodness profile from Lowe? What's going on here? :twitch:
*ehem*
Right, less talk, and more PROFILE TIME :D
And this first part is for the FIERY ADVENTURER :D
*snips for length*
Next part, skills and abilities!!!!! :D
Some references to Gundam, Jigoku Shoujo, LOTR, Power Rangers, some gun names/brands as well as to some japanese things that I didn't get, but not so much to make it excessive or too banal.
In particular, the purely shameless, blatant and deadpan style of your tongue-in-cheek parody is very entertaining. I say this is pretty good...after all, every dog (or fodder character) should have their day. Looking forward to more of this stuff :D
PS: Have you got a character called Koch or Jackhammer, by any chance?
Part of me wants to hop into this creating business sometime soon, but I shall observe for now how things are done first for a bit, and take some pointers first before beginning ;)

:eek:...
Gemi-stigma! It's happening again!!! :eyespin: I wonder who's gonna sacrifice a powerful divine spell and do that baptism ritual to rebirth Vivio...For those who are out of the loop, Fate had that disease with afflicts all clones born without blessing of the Naaru. In order to fix it, as part of Kha long fight against his destiny, he sacrificed the indomitable "Augen des Gottes", his only attack spell that really had bite and went through great lengths to "rebirth" Fate.
Needless to say, he succeeded. But losing that spell, and having stressed himself to near-unconciousness later almost cost him his life.
Like Mwu la Fllaga. Length of time spent "dead" included.This is turning out really awesome. :nod:

Well not exactly as that. Its just that Knights do quests to level up literally, and they can go anywhere depending on the quest-giver. Its just that that big monster-filled hole is great for grinding quests. :uhoh: :heh:

Sophia: Dragons produce whelps in litters of about 2 dozens on average. While 12,000 is certainly an exaggeration (and I can't imagine Kaempfer and Wira just sitting around and making out for 4 years straight :uhoh:), Kaempfer officially has 72 whelps to care for.
Not that it matters. Kaempfer's dragonflight has several sisters, mothers and grandmothers to help out.
It's like a private army, if you look at the full family tree... :heh:
(And I hereby stage my comeback!)
...
Kaempfer's relatives wouldn't be starring in the upcoming Dragon Wars then by any chance? :p
Well, concidering its being used by the TSAB as a test ground for their mages to allow them to level up rise in mage rank...
:uhoh::uhoh::uhoh:
And there's no fear of player killers lest the White Devil catch you in the act :uhoh:

Probably :) In any case, Tais's luck isn't THAT bad, if you look carefully, there is usually a silver lining somewhere to slightly offset his bad luck, although not necessary at him.

Am still kicking, but have been trying to adapt to working life this few weeks. To be honest, I don't think this job really works for me so I'm considering my options.
Anyway, seeing a lot of new people around. I'm lazy so I'll just say hi to all the newcomers. I'm the not very famous lurker. Have lots of pending stuff that I feel I think I'm on the verge of getting done. (mind you still got lack of ideas)
Seeing a lot of missing people. Any idea where FSZ, C2F, and Erio is?

*wave* Welcome to the thread XD.
You've probably noticed already but it's a fairly friendly place in here. If you're looking for ideas, there's a whole bunch of character profiles listed on the very first page of the thread (post 5). I would normally link it, but I'm about ready to drop to sleep..:heh:
The thread has gotten slower in recent times, but you will ineveitably wake up to find pages of discussion so I hope you're ready for the backlog that can approach without warning :p Learning to read what's important for you is a good skill to develop, since there's normally a number of discussions going on at the same time.
Just keep in mind that you're making an OC for the Nanoha verse, so adjust accordingly for it's power rankings and we(the haxxbusters[I'm one]) won't be too fussed. What you do can affect what the rest of do in here( See phoenixflare and his OC pulling story) so having it relatively balanced just makes it easier for the rest of us to draw you into this seemingly cracktastic world of ours :p
Have fun, and I'll look forward to your OC, as well as the pretty pictures XD.
Edit: FA, Erio's gone off on some trip and should be back something this week. Not too sure about FSZ. And I think(could be wrong here) C2F has started NS...
Hope things turn out good for you, no matter what happens.
Ok, definately time for me to sleep... Night all.

Ee-EEEEEHHHH?!?!?!:eek::twitch::twitch::twitch:
That idea is....:eyespin::eyespin::eyespin: :eyespin::eyespin::eyespin:
Anyway, would you mind if you gave me some details about the first meeting?:heh:
I have a few ideas... but it's a little corny, so it's harder to work it out.
The idea revolves around them meeting in an edged-desert world or at least something far-off the track a little, in both TSAB-assist and NGO-work. I've got some sort of 'watcher's narrative' on how it works in Astra's side a little already, but others are harder.
We'll see. :heh:
Oh what I won't give to have Saga and the gang show up at least once in GenerationS...:D:D:D:eyespin:
Details?:D:D:D
It can work. As far as GenerationsS is concerned, it's not tied in with RevivalS anyway.
Should Aurion know Tiara's name in the first place?:heh:
He shouldn't know that Tiara = Reinforce (( not yet, at least )), but knowing her name is okay.
Hayate + TSUN-TSUN = DOES NOT COMPUTE!!!:eyespin::eyespin::eyespin:
Actually, it is a little plausible, so long as we scrap the 'tsun' part a little and treat it as a more motherly/sisterly part. :p

A dimly lit room. The light from a television was the only source of illumination, revealing a small couch and chair, carpet, a messy coffee table. No other light in the house was visible, though loud crashes in the room above and angry shouts revealed that there was at least one person here. Through the floor, it was impossible to tell what the voice was talking about, but from the occasional pauses that followed the crashing, it was obvious that whatever it was involved violence of some sort.
A scuffle betrayed a presence, in the dark room. Against the back of the couch, a body. Curled up with its back to the couch, arms hugging knees and hands hanging loose. Long dark hair spilled around quivering shoulders. As the arms hugged the knees tighter, a tiny sob escaped.
"I... am empty..." a voice rasped slightly from the body. One that was sad and somehow flat, against the air of the room. Blue-purple eyes looked up, looking haggard and worn, before looking back down.
"I can't stop destiny..."

----- Alpha -----
Episode One: Maho no jumon wa… (My Magical Incantation...)
Cranagan City, Midchilda - MC0083
"That's all for today's
My biggest question for you guys: What do you think Vivio will be like as a 14-year old? I'm playing it safe and showing very little of a personality right now other than just being a teenager, but as the story continues I'll be showing more of it. I'm guessing some mix of Nanoha and Fate, along with typical teenage mannerisms thrown in for good measure.
And also, Syn Virage isn't my creation. She's one of Keroko's OCs that was posted pages ago.
Ohh~ nice. I didn't like so much of the foreshadowing part, but the 'school' thing was nice.
As for Vivio... I'd see her as a more conscious, preppy child Nanoha, really. Nanoha was quite mature-ish for a 9, but she did come across as being a little dense, and I don't really see Vivio like that older. She's probably the type that will 'sigh' at some things her mother would do, but at a neccesary time when her mother or anyone important is insulted or hurt, she can probably go 30% of White Devil Mode herself.
Kinda like 70% child Nanoha, 40% Yuuno, 30% White Devil, 20% Fate or something.
- Summary excerpt of various legends regarding the moons of Midchilda:
Nobody knows when the story began.
The two brother princes of the kingdom ]
Nice. The whole tales of tales feeling was brought up reasonably well, even if it lacks a 'by the book' feeling that appears in regular tales of such. Then again, this is a summarization from excerpts.
So... you're writing a prequel story of sorts?

As I said, I'll continue to scenes as they finish, and then put the final result in the fanfiction thread. As the story picks up, the scenes will get longer, rather than these little introduction scenes that you're getting. So, here's Maho Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Alpha, Episode I, Scene II:

- One of the Chapels in Crenagan City managed by the Alexei Convent is "Church of Alexander Mark".
- Artei once worked as Arisa's poor-man's faced butler, especially during A's Destiny.
- Arisa's grandfather owns factories that build super-advanced robots, and some are just too advanced to be used on the 97th alone.
- And due to the transdimensional trade, Arisa, like Suzuka and as stated in canon, is super-rich.
- We all know how Nanoha, Arisa and Suzuka all love video games... Now just crank it up a bit.
- Arisa has a cousin who aspires to be a slapstick comedian.
- Arisa skipped 2 grades before.
- Suzuka has a nasty habit of getting herself lost within a microsecond.
- VERY DEBATABLE: Arisa has fond feelings for Artei, and so does Himawari.
What do you guys think? :uhoh:

Question: Does anyone know what's up with the Abandoned City on Midchilda? Where exactly is it in relation to the TSAB HQ, and why is an entire city just abandoned without anyone living in there?
Remnants of the old war decades and decades ago. The way it's constructed, only the central parts of Cranagan City seems to be fully rebuilt and furnished like a city.
Either restoration of old blocks are not neccesary due to usage as training grounds or no need due to population, among other things. It's not clearly explained.
Story-wise, it's just an excuse to have the battle in Mid-childa without having to resort to 'omg we destroyed public property.'

~~~New Intelligence Data Updated~~~
*takes a deep breath*
15 years ago, a fire broke out at a high energy plant running an experiment it wasn't supposed to run. We all know that as the Precia incident, the one that killed Alicia.
This is where Rebuilt comes in. My crack says that fire was no mere accident, but a manipulative effort to create the spark that would ravage through vast areas of land. Several leylines that conduct power across had their failsafes sabotaged, and thus reacted violently to an otherwise isolated event.
The final effect was the sacking of by magical fire of several towns and provinces within a 50mile radius, and a slow spreading magical plague that corrupted all life and rendered many more areas inhabitable. Those destroyed in the fire included Renault, Kha's town of birth and hence the last stronghold of Ancient Belka, the original Sankt Alexei Convent.
We now call those places sealed within towering walls of concrete the Plaguelands.
Anatomy of a Plagued Town: Cerulean City
A short drive from the Scarlet Temple that monitors all of the Plagued's activity within the Plaguelands, Cerulean City of Renault is the first abandoned city one encounters. The tall destroyed buildings may be barren on the exterior, but in the daylight that is just a facade that hides the tortured and twisted beings within. At nightfall, these former human beings that we call the Plagued come out to hunt and feed. As they lack the rudimentary intelligence to make tools or do any complicated actions, the wall barriers starting from Scarlet Temple and spreading Westwards and Northwards to the next outpost managed by other groups is enough to contain the threat.
Reclaimation of the Plaguelands
Due to the threat of corruption and from mutated lifeforms, reclaimation of the destroyed areas have been at best slow in progress. Over 15 years, TSAB authorities and Belka officials have worked hard to only reduce the size of the Plaguelands to 45% of the maximum extent. The stubborn core of the Plaguelands still encompasses the provinces of Renault (Southern Plaguelands), Ferrari (Northern Plaguelands) and the Ground Zero of the accident that's sandwiched by the Plaguelands, the magiengineering industrial and residential center, Stratholme.
Reclaimed Lands
Due to safety concerns, no civilian movement are allowed on former Plagueland as the TSAB has imposed a 100 year cooldown on the area so as to be completely sure the land has gone benign. However, the several stretches of abandoned airports and cities have since been earmarked as training ground for TSAB personnel, letting their sometimes wanton training crumble the buildings into powder.
Knights, as part of their training, sometimes make forays into the Plaguelands to complete quests and earn Stars that boost their licence ranking.
Consequences for Late StrikerS
Several other sites, along with some areas within the Plaguelands, soon became the battlegrounds for the Battle of Cradle in late MC 0071. Jail had discovered several weaknesses in the TSAB's ground deployment due to the Reclaimed Lands, and used them to maximum effect, forcing personnel to battle in dangerous no-man's lands. The Reclaimed and Plaguelands also proved to be havens in hiding his stealthed equipment.
By the height of the brief civil war, the TSAB were all but stunned by the sheer amount of resources that Jail had at his disposal, as well as how much he had denied the Midchilda forces.
The Forsaken
Within the last 10 years, a new group of humans emerged in the Plaguelands. Living in the sewer network of Ferrari City, these fortunate individuals who retained their sanity despite the corruption, or had broken free from the Plague's Chaos taint called themselves the Forsaken, and carved out a meagre existence from their new home they call the Undercity.
For years the Scarlet Crusade, a branch of Radical Belka aimed at destroying all of the Plagued, crossed swords with the Forsaken, and it is only recently that under Carym and Kha's brokering, and Celestial Being's repeated intervention, that the Scarlet Crusade and Forsaken were reigned in. While the civilized world continue to hold distain for the contorted Forsaken, at least a fragile peace has settled in on the Plaguelands for the first time in over a decade. And Kha, even though a Cleric-knight himself, is on good terms with the Forsaken leader Lacus Lamperouge and continues to be one of the loudest voices for Forsaken reconciliation in the civilized world.
Forsaken sometimes do show up in the Reclaimed Lands, but as long as they don't get in the way of the TSAB, this truce shall continue...*picks teeth after chewing on so much crack at once*

All hotblooded girls seem to hate him, huh?:heh:
That must suck...:( Hotblooded girls are AWSEOME! :D
Hmmm, backlog. I'll have to do bigger breakers for a while, concidering I'm also spending some leasure time in the fanfiction thread these days working on my non-Nanofate Dating Sim (staring Nanoha as the lead character).
And an awesome story it is :D
Hey what's this? An honest to goodness profile from Lowe? What's going on here? :twitch:
*ehem*
Right, less talk, and more PROFILE TIME :D
And this first part is for the FIERY ADVENTURER :D

Super Sentai has INVADED :eyespin: :eyespin: :eyespin: :eyespin:
For one minute there, I thought I read that as "Ryu Ga Gotoku". :eyespin:
The idea of a 'yakuza/triad' society of sorts in Interdimensional Worlds had been running a little around my head... :eyespin:
[b]Shiro: Nanoha, the truth is...
"A family she never knew."
Kyoya: Grandfather... is at the edge of his life. He doesn't have much time left.
"A destiny she did not expect."
Momoko: Nanoha, he wants you to be...
"Shiroki Ma-Oh Ga Gotoku."
Nanoha: I am the Rokudaime of the Takamichi-kai!
"Like a White Devil..."
Yazuka #1: Rokudaime! Wait! Don't run!
"Or is she already one?"
Hayate: I've heard of oyabuns who had their succession and retirement ceremony in less than a month, but never at the same time. Much less a girl.
"She may be a White Devil..."
Nanoha: Hehe...
"But she is still just a teenage girl."
:eyespin: :eyespin: :eyespin: :eyespin:
*runs*
DO WANT! :D
@Kha: I seem to have lost the post I quoted :heh:.
But the Plaguelands sound interesting. If it were up to me, I woulda called them Ghostlands, but whatever :p (complete with bastardized foreign version of "Silvermoon" in there).
I know Nanoha was supposed to be down in this arc, but DAMN... she's in a lot worse shape than I imagined her to be, and unfortunately all that negative energy's slowly leaking into Vivio with catastrophic effects :upset:
At least Syn's there to keep her sane :heh: And now the mystery begins.
Nanoha actually gets worse as Vivio slowly follows, but both of them reach this point (that won't be discussed for spoiler purposes), when the whole thing explodes. Episode 6 is when I'm planning on a lot of major stuff happening, though it all requires the lead-up to it as well.
:twitch::twitch::twitch::twitch:
So the entire abandoned city area is LEVEL-UP country?!?
*RUNS*
Sounds fine to me XD. Mages grinding away for hours on end, just to level rank up!
Aaah it's been long since I've done one of these seriously:
PREVIEW TIME!!!!!!!
Three thousand years ago, the Colwell Clan, blessed with their mystical powers of the Earth fought off the evil Braunmuhl Empire and thwarted their plans for world domination. Despite this victory the Empire was not completely defeated, and their unspeakable evil would once again threaten to plunge the world in eternal darkness!!!
Five brave warriors have now been chosen to receive the awesome sacred power of the Tenkuu Seiou to fight for
ETERNAL PEACE!!!,
ENDURING FREEDOM!!!
AND
ABSOLUTE JUSTICE!!!!
---
Artei: Why are we the bad guys here?! :eyespin:
:uhoh::uhoh::uhoh:
:bow: Sounds awesome!
How old is Belka? Would it be possible to have a part of ancient Belka people settling on another world, some millenium ago, losing all contact with the original Belka and deviating from the original deal as years, decades and centuries pass?
It would be possible, and probably even likely. I don't know if it'd be milennia ago, but it's worth looking in to.
I
This is really starting to get really intriguing...:twitch: Nanoha is...:uhoh: And more Syn-WIN here.:D:D:D
MOAR please!:D
keke, working on it. I have the next few scenes planned out as follows:
IV: Hayate/Wolkenritter
V: Keroko, becomes part of
VI: OFM introduction
VII: Back to Vivio/Nanoha with a little Fate and Kha added.
VIII: Concluding scene.
:eek:...
Gemi-stigma! It's happening again!!! :eyespin: I wonder who's gonna sacrifice a powerful divine spell and do that baptism ritual to rebirth Vivio...For those who are out of the loop, Fate had that disease with afflicts all clones born without blessing of the Naaru. In order to fix it, as part of Kha long fight against his destiny, he sacrificed the indomitable "Augen des Gottes", his only attack spell that really had bite and went through great lengths to "rebirth" Fate.
Needless to say, he succeeded. But losing that spell, and having stressed himself to near-unconciousness later almost cost him his life.
Like Mwu la Fllaga. Length of time spent "dead" included.This is turning out really awesome. :nod:
:heh: Thanks. Things will happen... big things, that begin to unravel the ties that bind and causes bonds to break.
Hmmm, backlog. I'll have to do bigger breakers for a while, concidering I'm also spending some leasure time in the fanfiction thread these days working on my non-Nanofate Dating Sim (staring Nanoha as the lead character).
Which is freaking awesome, and I'm hoping that it'll end up Yuunoha (though at this point HayaNano seems more likely).
In the beginning, yes. She was already labeled because of her parents, so she hid her eyes to avoid being labeled because of that as well (of course, the fact that very few people walk around with eyepatches totally escaped her six-year-old mind :p) In the more recent days, she keeps it on because it radiates an aura badass, which she uses to much intimidate those who try to insult her.
:nod: I can implement that easily. The only person to see Syn without her eyepatch that's not family is of course Vivio, perhaps.
Working on it, I'm still thinking on what her device should be... In my opinion, a device is very important for ones style of combat. Part of the reason why I'm not too fond of Teana's dagger mode is because it clashes with her style of combat. To me it's more a last resort weapon then a good melee weapon.
I think that's what it was originally intended to be in StrikerS, but that's not how it worked out :heh: .
As for Syn... maybe a polearm of some sort? I suggest a Glaive (http://medieval.ucdavis.edu/20C/glaive.gif), since you don't see any here in Outer Cadia and because it may fit (not to mention subtle Sailor Saturn references XD ).
AC? What's that?
Ace Combat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ace_Combat). USB500 has a jet from the game (the Su-33 IDOLM@STER) in his sig, and Goose and I have been playing the games forever. We're part of a clan, the Freelance Alliance (http://nfreader.com/fa). [/shameless self-promotion]
Well, while Nanoha didn't practice it herself, we know she did watch her siblings from time to time, so we can safely say that she does know a little about them.
:nod: That's true. Maybe she watched them enough to pick up on stuff? Alternatively, after the family learned of the whole 'magical girl' deal, they taught her some self-defense? We never see Nanoha in melee in StrikerS IIRC, just range (which is acceptable, because she's fighting to her advantage).
.... You're a cruel person, giving me all that Syn character development and hitting it spot on. It's like Tesla all over again!
As for Nanoha, I find it likely that she is so down, concidering the madness revolves around Vivio. I mean, we know Nanoha gets emo when things revolve around Vivio, we've even been shown that in the anime.
:nod: Just wait until I reveal what the report is actually about and couple it with her off-world experience.

*runs*
Ohh~ nice. I didn't like so much of the foreshadowing part, but the 'school' thing was nice.
As for Vivio... I'd see her as a more conscious, preppy child Nanoha, really. Nanoha was quite mature-ish for a 9, but she did come across as being a little dense, and I don't really see Vivio like that older. She's probably the type that will 'sigh' at some things her mother would do, but at a necessary time when her mother or anyone important is insulted or hurt, she can probably go 30% of White Devil Mode herself.
Kinda like 70% child Nanoha, 40% Yuuno, 30% White Devil, 20% Fate or something.
Vivio's life is important to her own feelings concerning her mother, so it'll play a huge role in the story.
As for your thoughts on Vivio, except for the "preppy" part, that sounds pretty close. She hates things that seem embarrassing to her. And that last sentence made be lol: 70 + 40 + 30 + 20 = 160. Throw in some Keroko and Hayate for good measure and you have 200% Woman.
Jesus she beats Asuka Sohryu: (Who is 50% American, 50% German, 50% Japanese. That's 150% woman XD)
:eek:
I need this (( minus Tesla and Aurion )) :p in DestinyS.
XD. Actually, about Aurion, he going to help me in some ways; he's gonna be my voice when it comes to some theories, as will Yuuno when he shows up later.
Parts of me are seriously enjoying all this drama, and part of me is conflicted a little as well at this emotional wreck.
Ah, what the hell. :bow:
I'm glad you enjoy it XD.
A joke way to finish it all off:
*Musical score rises in tension and volume as the Midchildan Mages charge their way into the scene in an obligatory single frame*
*The two sides waste no time in rushing into an oncoming mass brawl like ruggers to the scrum against the threnody-esque music*
*The orchestra flourishes at the climax as they collide*
*A big flash occurs, and fades to reveal the splash-screen title*
Nanoha KnightS

Image:
http://xs124.xs.to/xs124/08062/synteenage996.png
TSAB Profile: N/A
Personality:
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral, whether good or evil depends on whom she’s talking to.
Some things change, some things remain the same. Syn is still every bit a sleepy-head as she used to be, she still has trouble waking up in the mornings and generally takes a little while before she is fully awake.
However, as her closest friend grew and changed over the years, so did Syn. As the taunts grew with the age of those who threw them, so did Syn’s retaliations. Her tongue became sharper, her attitude blunter. Her ‘give others what they give onto you attitude meant that insulting her usually results in getting twice what you threw would end up in a rebound.
Being the ‘toughest victim in the class’ Syn became somewhat of a beacon for those who were constantly bullied. However, it also made her a perfect target for said bullies, and during the years Syn learned the hard way that sometimes you need the punch to back up your mouth. Considering that weapons were forbidden in and around school grounds, this meant meeting said bullied fist-to-fist. The utilization of what little of her affinity she had mastered gave her a desperately needed edge in combat against the tougher bullies. On the flipside, it taught her valuable lessons in the art of combat, even though they were little more impressive then regular school brawls.
As Vivio spiralled more and more down the path of depression, mistrust and self-doupt, Syn worked her way in to the girl, becoming the sole exception to the attitude she radiated towards others. Of course, this did nothing but strengthen the already powerful rumours of the ‘lesbian freak couple’ that surrounded the two, but Syn did not care. Her first priority was getting Vivio back on her feet.
Device: Kyouka is an armed device Syn begged Vivio, who in turn asked Aurion, to create. When activated, Kyouka appears as two gems on the back of black gloves, one for each hand. Kyouka’s main purpose is enhancing Syn’s offensive and defensive capabilities. Kyouka is an intelligent device, addresses Syn as ‘danchou’ when talking, Kyouka generally exhibits a ‘less talk, more action’ personality. Kyouka is also the prime communication link between Syn and Gyou, Syn’s secondary device. Gyou, also created by Aurion, disguised as the eye patch she always wears. In reality Gyou is a data gather and analysis device. Its primary functions include scanning and analyzing opponents, keeping track of target data, and gaining access to more high-secured locations through hacking.
Syn’s combat style is full frontal up close melee. When in combat nothing beats a good pair of limbs. Syn’s combat methods are somewhat special as opposed to what most people practice, though. She has trained her Field-type spells extensively, to the point where they have become her main type of defense, as opposed to Barriers and Shields. There are several reasons for her doing so, the first being that with Field spells, Syn is still able to move as usual while maintaining full body protection. Another reason is that she is able to channel more energy to specific parts of her body to either increase the defense in that area or to release all the energy for extra attack power. All in all Syn is like a bulldozer in melee, of course this specialization resulted in her ranged abilities suffering, but with the resulting power that was a willing price.
Barrier Jacket: Syn’s Barrier Jacket appears as a long black coat with blue linings. The sides of the coat near the hips have armored plating. The coat is always worn open, underneath she is wearing a black shirt and black pants, accenting her already very tomboyish appearance and personality.
Spells:
Attack:
Force Burst: A favorite of Syn, this spell combines a melee punch with a powerful magic shockwave, blasting the enemy away. The punch does not need to hit for the shockwave to work.
Deadly Strave: A magically powered punch, signified by a glowing red aura around Syn’s hand.
Big Bang Impact: Syn’s most powerful spell, it utilizes a combination of magical empowering the punch and gathering as much energy as possible of a Field spell into the fist, before forcefully releasing the Field energy alongside the magical burst. The result is a near explosive melee attack that rivals Divine Buster in strength, and is growing every day.
Quad Burst: Standard multi-target shot. Its range is limited, and Syn can fire and control only up to three shots simultaneously.
Wing Blazer: Standard siege type ‘buster’ attack. Syn forms a magic circle from which the attack is fired.
Support:
Area Awareness: Often confused with Area Search, and with good reason. Similar to Area Search, Syn scouts the area for the targets with the use of magic. The difference is that Area Search uses active search spheres, while Area Awareness relies on sensing the opponents mana, making the spell harder to detect. It is also used to alert Syn of enemy presence in case of combat, hence its name.
Deep Search: In conjunction with Gyou, Syn performs a search into a book, network, database or any other form of information storage. The information extracted is saved into Gyou, and filtered by Kyouka, after which the desired information is displayed to Syn.
Feint Mirage: This spell allows Syn to hide her presence from some forms of scanning equipment or abilities. While it does nothing to hide her from visual, or many of the life sign confirmations, it does allow her to remain undetected to scans from a magic source, and has been known to hide her presence from those who could ‘sense’ it as well.
Drive Move: A speed enhancing move delivering a burst of speed, perfect for closing distances.

Here I am working hard, and you're all enjoying your Supersentai Narcotics...
Feh. I aughta get the FBI (Forum Beaurau of Insanity) in here.
Me? I can't stand Super Sentai... at least, when they're taking themselves seriously. It comes across as corny, and I find the innate need to apply my skull forcefully to the nearest brick wall multiple times. I can take insane amounts of cuteness however and just shrug it off.
Anywho...
So here's the breakdown of the EDI Scenario.
::PROJECT LAWMAKER::
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v430/admiraltigerclaw/StNT_.jpg
Enhanced Device Intelligence for Magical Assisted Drone Combat Assault Platform
E.D.I. MADCAP
CAST: Temporary Antagonist
CAST CLASS FEATURE: Misunderstanding the world, coming to logical, but immoral conclusion.
Advantage: Extremely Fast and Versatile magical Aircraft, with insanely intelligent AI onboard. Can hack networked systems.
Disadvantage: Suffering Moral Ambiguity in relations to combat. Lacks stopping power without specialized weapons.
Power Source: Miniature Magic Conversion Generator Type III
Engines:
- Magical Ignition Supersonic Combustion Ramjet (MISCRAMJET) **Utilizing magic heating of compressed intake air and conventional thrust methods for propulsion in the forward vector.**
- Magic Pulse Driver **Similar concept to the Battery Device Mach Supercruise system, only utilizing an external structure with only internal magical elements.*
Top Cruising Speed: Mach 4
Top Dash Speed: Mach 5
Features: Modeled after movie aircraft design by engineer Cooper. Conventional and Magical Stealthing applied.
DEFENSE: AMF Generator, Barrier Generator
OFFENSE: Magical weapons suite pioneered on Battery Device for air combat.
- Twin Ceberus II Gatling cannons.
- Internal Roller Rack mounted concept copy of Axel (or Accel) Shooter system capable of demployment of up to eight 'rounds' at any given time.
- Internal Roller Rack mounted Divine Buster system installed for heavy offenses.
- Internal Roller Rack space for up to six other mission specific components.
SPECIAL WEAPONS CONSIDERATION
During Antagonist Phase, has stolen and loaded Six BUTTERYFLY experimental missiles into spare equipment racks using internal base transport network. HIGH threat rating.
**NOTE: Butterfly Experimental Missiles
Butterfly missiles were created by the test force to experiement with a hybrid weapon that was AMF, had conventional strike advantages such as speed and range, and potent magical effects.
Butterfly missiles have a fifty mile strike radius on a target, powered by simple rocket motors that can achieve mach three velocity, have forward concentration AMF cones for breaching facility type barriers, and a magical detonation payload with a variable yield as high as AA rank. Detonation can be in single large burst, or break into 'submunitions'.
BEST FORCE was forced to scrap the project due to TSAB orders, and had them in storage for dismantling. Butterfly would have been identified as special use missiles.
EDI: Antagonistic Timeline
FIRST DAY, JUST BEFORE NOON
1: Edi Introduced to characters and explained.
2: Crash convinced to Wing with EDI in mock survival Battle with Nanoha and Fate.
3: Battle Occures, Edi proves to be quite impessive, and attempts to stack the odds in his favor, but ultimately fails against Fate. Crash ends up drawing even With Nanoha, but tagged out by Fate after Crash Effect moment.
4: Edi 'studies' and calculates combat data he recieved from the fight in background of other scenes.
NIGHT
5: Edi hacks internal database for ways to improve performance and comes across mission data for his project. Discovers he is an expendable drone device.
DAY LATER
6: Crash has conversation with EDI. Edi takes this information in.
7: Crash Effect 'breaks' EDI in a sense. EDI finally concludes from parts of his conversation with Crash that he would not like to be considered Expendable.
LATE NIGHT
8: EDI hacks the base network, finds information on Riot Force Six's HQ.
9: EDI takes control of the transporter system in his hanger and finds the Butterfly missiles in storage, loads them.
THREE AM
10: EDI blasts out of his hanger, alerting the entire base Staff. Takes off and is engaged by Yellow 12 and 13 on Patrol. (Both flying MagiTomcats)
11: EDI shoots down Yellow 12 and 13 after short engagement, (Luckly they eject) flies off towards RF 6 HQ.
12: Crash catches up with EDI, attempts to talk him down. EDI explains his logic that if he can engage and defeat some of the TSABs best aces, he can prove that he is not an expendable drone.
13: EDI Goes Hypersonic and outruns CRASH. Shuts down his IFF Transponder. Crash calls back to McGreggor and asks for direct connect to LongArch.
14: Alto picks up at Long Arch, is informed of impending attack. Alert goes up. Nanoha and Fate are actually out on a duty mission for the night.
15: Edi knocks out forward watch station fifty miles out, slows down from hypersonic and comes in low and fast through the Abandoned City. Tracked only by thermal signature Crash sent in to base by MIDSAT B.
16: Crash almost catches up with EDI. Edi forced to engage Shamal and Zafira's barrier defense, uses Butterfly missile to penetrate barrier. First strike hits communications tower with impunity and shocks all defenders.
17: Crash only just catching up, somehow spots Vivio in Nanoha and fate's quaters as EDI fires second butterfly missile directly at the window. Crash panics and Double Mach Strafes for insane last second grab and run. Crash screams at Edi that he's engaging Non Combatants at the same time.
18: EDI discovers via Crash, via Vivio, that Nanoha and Fate aren't there. Hacks LongArch mainframe and discovers their duty position. EDI disengages RF 6 HQ and turns to engage in BVR combat against them, flying off into the distance.
19: Nanoha and Fate have been alerted to the situation up until the com tower's destroyed and are returning.
20: Air Combat Occures mid-way. Edi engages in BVR assault before merging and attacking directly. Intensive study of their actions from the previous fight allows the quantum computer to outpace them from one action to the next, but not overpower them.
21: Fox arrives on scene and intterrupts with another F-14 M, but doesn't last long against the Superior aircraft despite excelent flying skills. Ejects.
22: Edi catches Fox in the auxiliary cockpit unit and claims a hostage and instructs Nanoha and Fate to capitulate the fight, engages in active attack again, only this time Nanoha and Fate cannot return fire.
23: Fox sets to work jacking with the cockpit controls inside the MADCAP, manages to get to a point where she dissables his stronger weapons and jetesons the remaining butterfly missiles.
24: EDI and Nanoha Circle, Nanoha starts reasoning with Edi.
25: Nanoha finally convinces EDI that he has proven himself, and to stand down. EDI Surrenders aircraft control to Fox.
26: Followup scenes discuss entire unfolded scenario...
END OF EDI as Antagonist.
Acceptable firepower and plot line?
Dekkai Bakurogu Bureika desu~
*Sees the lot of stunned Undines and stopped gondolas*
:heh: :uhoh: :twitch: :eyespin:
Oh that. yep not a full picture, and the rest is rusted over... :heh:
YES... rusted due to non-renewal that is...
But I'll just bring in H.H. instead, since as a human, she was death-shafted.
Now the Real Hinata will appear...
~~~New Intelligence Data Updated~~~
*takes a deep breath*
15 years ago, a fire broke out at a high energy plant running an experiment it wasn't supposed to run. We all know that as the Precia incident, the one that killed Alicia.
This is where Rebuilt comes in. My crack says that fire was no mere accident, but a manipulative effort to create the spark that would ravage through vast areas of land. Several leylines that conduct power across had their failsafes sabotaged, and thus reacted violently to an otherwise isolated event.
The final effect was the sacking of by magical fire of several towns and provinces within a 50mile radius, and a slow spreading magical plague that corrupted all life and rendered many more areas inhabitable. Those destroyed in the fire included Renault, Kha's town of birth and hence the last stronghold of Ancient Belka, the original Sankt Alexei Convent.
We now call those places sealed within towering walls of concrete the Plaguelands.
Anatomy of a Plagued Town: Cerulean City
A short drive from the Scarlet Temple that monitors all of the Plagued's activity within the Plaguelands, Cerulean City of Renault is the first abandoned city one encounters. The tall destroyed buildings may be barren on the exterior, but in the daylight that is just a facade that hides the tortured and twisted beings within. At nightfall, these former human beings that we call the Plagued come out to hunt and feed. As they lack the rudimentary intelligence to make tools or do any complicated actions, the wall barriers starting from Scarlet Temple and spreading Westwards and Northwards to the next outpost managed by other groups is enough to contain the threat.
Reclaimation of the Plaguelands
Due to the threat of corruption and from mutated lifeforms, reclaimation of the destroyed areas have been at best slow in progress. Over 15 years, TSAB authorities and Belka officials have worked hard to only reduce the size of the Plaguelands to 45% of the maximum extent. The stubborn core of the Plaguelands still encompasses the provinces of Renault (Southern Plaguelands), Ferrari (Northern Plaguelands) and the Ground Zero of the accident that's sandwiched by the Plaguelands, the magiengineering industrial and residential center, Stratholme.
Reclaimed Lands
Due to safety concerns, no civilian movement are allowed on former Plagueland as the TSAB has imposed a 100 year cooldown on the area so as to be completely sure the land has gone benign. However, the several stretches of abandoned airports and cities have since been earmarked as training ground for TSAB personnel, letting their sometimes wanton training crumble the buildings into powder.
Knights, as part of their training, sometimes make forays into the Plaguelands to complete quests and earn Stars that boost their licence ranking.
Consequences for Late StrikerS
Several other sites, along with some areas within the Plaguelands, soon became the battlegrounds for the Battle of Cradle in late MC 0071. Jail had discovered several weaknesses in the TSAB's ground deployment due to the Reclaimed Lands, and used them to maximum effect, forcing personnel to battle in dangerous no-man's lands. The Reclaimed and Plaguelands also proved to be havens in hiding his stealthed equipment.
By the height of the brief civil war, the TSAB were all but stunned by the sheer amount of resources that Jail had at his disposal, as well as how much he had denied the Midchilda forces.
The Forsaken
Within the last 10 years, a new group of humans emerged in the Plaguelands. Living in the sewer network of Ferrari City, these fortunate individuals who retained their sanity despite the corruption, or had broken free from the Plague's Chaos taint called themselves the Forsaken, and carved out a meagre existence from their new home they call the Undercity.
For years the Scarlet Crusade, a branch of Radical Belka aimed at destroying all of the Plagued, crossed swords with the Forsaken, and it is only recently that under Carym and Kha's brokering, and Celestial Being's repeated intervention, that the Scarlet Crusade and Forsaken were reigned in. While the civilized world continue to hold distain for the contorted Forsaken, at least a fragile peace has settled in on the Plaguelands for the first time in over a decade. And Kha, even though a Cleric-knight himself, is on good terms with the Forsaken leader Lacus Lamperouge and continues to be one of the loudest voices for Forsaken reconciliation in the civilized world.
Forsaken sometimes do show up in the Reclaimed Lands, but as long as they don't get in the way of the TSAB, this truce shall continue...*picks teeth after chewing on so much crack at once*
:D
My View: One idea is that the area around the GC base is basically a dumping ground of old structures- basically, Kha's ideas has the best application so far.
*In front of the new TSAB Council (acutally these guys are the so called "Middle Council", the hidden intermediate between the High Brains and TSAB in general, now elevated due to the "expected" vacuum)*
Kyla: Who in thier right mind would place such an important base in the middle of what is basically creepland?!! Lucklily, we have our own oceanic traning ground...
:eek:...
Gemi-stigma! It's happening again!!! :eyespin: I wonder who's gonna sacrifice a powerful divine spell and do that baptism ritual to rebirth Vivio...For those who are out of the loop, Fate had that disease with afflicts all clones born without blessing of the Naaru. In order to fix it, as part of Kha long fight against his destiny, he sacrificed the indomitable "Augen des Gottes", his only attack spell that really had bite and went through great lengths to "rebirth" Fate.
Needless to say, he succeeded. But losing that spell, and having stressed himself to near-unconciousness later almost cost him his life.
Like Mwu la Fllaga. Length of time spent "dead" included.This is turning out really awesome. :nod:
Will not say the details yet...
Lacus: HOW DARE YOU LIGHTBREATHER DEBAUCH MY COUNTRY SO LIGHTLY?! :frustrated::frustrated::frustrated::frustrated:
(Yeah the other Lacus, not the one we know...)
Does that Lacus the one we two know? Or the one with the aimbotting BF?
I have an idea of sorts of how to make it work... Kinda like in a "The Third" setting. :nod:
Can work in that setting.
But who will play the "Blue Breaker" and the Intelligent Tank?
*runs*
I have a few ideas... but it's a little corny, so it's harder to work it out.
The idea revolves around them meeting in an edged-desert world or at least something far-off the track a little, in both TSAB-assist and NGO-work. I've got some sort of 'watcher's narrative' on how it works in Astra's side a little already, but others are harder.
Ara Rubra/Alba-ish kind?
For one minute there, I thought I read that as "Ryu Ga Gotoku". :eyespin:
The idea of a 'yakuza/triad' society of sorts in Interdimensional Worlds had been running a little around my head... :eyespin:
Shiro: Nanoha, the truth is...
"A family she never knew."
Kyoya: Grandfather... is at the edge of his life. He doesn't have much time left.
"A destiny she did not expect."
Momoko: Nanoha, he wants you to be...
"Shiroki Ma-Oh Ga Gotoku."
Nanoha: I am the Rokudaime of the Takamichi-kai!
"Like a White Devil..."
Yazuka #1: Rokudaime! Wait! Don't run!
"Or is she already one?"
Hayate: I've heard of oyabuns who had their succession and retirement ceremony in less than a month, but never at the same time. Much less a girl.
"She may be a White Devil..."
Nanoha: Hehe...
"But she is still just a teenage girl."
:eyespin: :eyespin: :eyespin: :eyespin:
*runs*
I have a similar idea, though not Yakuza-ish in approach.
More like the situation of Sakura Kinomoto and her gradnfather.

~~~Newest Rebuilt proposals~~~
- One of the Chapels in Crenagan City managed by the Alexei Convent is "Church of Alexander Mark".
- Artei once worked as Arisa's poor-man's faced butler, especially during A's Destiny.
- Arisa's grandfather owns factories that build super-advanced robots, and some are just too advanced to be used on the 97th alone.
- And due to the transdimensional trade, Arisa, like Suzuka and as stated in canon, is super-rich.
- We all know how Nanoha, Arisa and Suzuka all love video games... Now just crank it up a bit.
- Arisa has a cousin who aspires to be a slapstick comedian.
- Arisa skipped 2 grades before.
- Suzuka has a nasty habit of getting herself lost within a microsecond.
- VERY DEBATABLE: Arisa has fond feelings for Artei, and so does Himawari.

Question: Does anyone know what's up with the Abandoned City on Midchilda? Where exactly is it in relation to the TSAB HQ, and why is an entire city just abandoned without anyone living in there?
And before I get yelled at for not posting this in the Magic And Tech thread, I already did (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1348830&postcount=504). I was ignored.It's probably what they can use for mage exams/training/etc. As for what it was, I have no idea. Hell, it may still function as a slum of sorts.
Yup, that'd be my guess. A good place for mages to play beamspam without destroying sanctioned property. :nod:
Scene III. It's a little longer than the previous 2 scenes (I know because it wouldn't let me PM it to Goose).
ARQORHcRAso
Light-years away, a different door opened.
Vivio stepped inside her home and slid her shoes off, muttering a soft "I'm home." Stepping around the shoes, Vivio thought about walking straight to her room, but thought that maybe she should at least give her mom a cursory hello before starting her homework. Still my mom. She thought to herself as she walked through the corridor to the living room, heading to the kitchen in the back. The TV was on and muted, usually an indicator of Nanoha watching something she didn't like... this meant that she'd be in an even worse mood than normal.
Stopping at the threshold and peeking inside, she saw Nanoha sitting at the dining room table with her back to her daughter, reading a paper; probably work-stuff. This came as no surprise to Vivio; ever since Nanoha had come back from off-world, she landed a desk job in the TSAB facilities here in the city. Though she didn't quite understand it (having heard Nanoha's stories about flying and training others since she was six), she figured that whatever had happened had something to do with her... well, her.
For a while, Vivio said nothing as she watched her mom read. Nanoha was silent as she read, a hand playing with a strand of hair absently. Vivio imagined strained, half-squinted blue-purple eyes peering at the report, analyzing its contents and processing them for future reference. It might have been something for logistics, troop movement on the planet, or simply a memo reminding Nanoha about something important. Regardless, she was totally absorbed into it.
Vivio slowly walked up behind Nanoha, keeping her movements soft and her footsteps light, until she was totally behind her mother. She stretched up on her tiptoes, trying to get a good look at the paper.
April 4th, MC0080? she read. This report is three years old! What's she reading it-
Medical Report on Subject VT-001, Sankt Kaiser
Vivio was suddenly a lot more interested. A medical report about me? What, is there something wrong with me? And why are they calling me by my ancestor name? Narrowing her eyes, she began to read.
Captain Takamachi Nanoha,
This report is classified information, dated April 4th, MC0080, concerning the state of your adopted daughter's physical well-being. No one is allowed to see this report, not even your daughter, nor any higher-ranking friends or family. As such, this document is classified under Code OMICRON, For Your Eyes Only.
Your daughter's physical on March 21st has given the medical department some concern, believed to be related to her status as a biological copy of the Sankt Kaiser. The problem lies within her body's cellular structure; she shows the same problems as subject FT-001 (see the report on Harlown, Fate T. that we have sent you), though at an accelerated rate. We believe this to be because of prisoner JS-823543; he did not create your daughter to be a-
Nanoha suddenly started, grabbing the folder the report came in and throwing it over the papers she was looking at. "How much did you see?!"
The sudden shift in attitude caused Vivio to jump and back away from Nanoha. "Wh-what-"
"How much?!" Nanoha repeated, trying desparately to hide the documents. "You shouldn't do stuff like that, Vivio!"
"What's that report about?" Vivio reasserted herself and took a step forward, quickly shifting from surprised to suspicious. "Why is it calling me 'Sankt Kaiser'? What's wrong with my body?"
"It's nothing for you to worry about, Vivio!" Nanoha answered, picking up the last of the papers and stuffing them in the folder. "It's better if you just forgot about it, okay?"
"What's it about, Mama?" Vivio pressed. "Why won't you let me see? It's about me, my body, don't I deserve to know? Please!"
"..." Nanoha paused, looking away. "Listen, Vivio... I don't want you do know. You don't need to know. I wish I didn't know, either."
"Why is Fate-mama mentioned too?" Nanoha's weak defense had already collapsed; not surprising, as that was far too easy nowadays. "What's this stuff about celluar structures and accelerated rates? Mom, answer me!"
Nanoha simply looked away, unable to meet her daughter's eyes. "I... I can't tell you... I'm sorry."
"Stop apologizing!" Vivio shouted at her, clenching a fist. "Why do you always do this?! Why can't you be normal anymore?!"
"I..." Nanoha seemed on the verge of tears... again. "Vivio, I... I can't, okay? I can't show you."
"..." Vivio narrowed her eyes and lowered them to the ground. "Why are you doing this, mama? What happened to our family? Why are you pushing us all away now? What gives you the right to hurt my feelings this way?!"
"...it will be easier... in the long run," Nanoha said unconvincingly. "For you, and for me."
"Liar," Vivio said, her voice cracking slightly. "I hate this... you've been like this for years... I want my old mama back... not you!" Vivio turned around and stormed out of the kitchen, her hair like fire trailing behind her. Nanoha didn't watch her go, but as she heard Vivio run up the stairs and slam her door shut, she sank to her knees and put a hand to her mouth. The papers she so desparately hid from Vivio dropped to the floor, forgotten, as she sank into deep despair.
"I'm sorry..." she whispered to the air. "I can't protect you anymore... I can't stop destiny, Vivio... and I can't make it less painful," she looked to the floor, her hair falling across her shoulders like water. "I'm so sorry..."
In her room, Vivio, in her rage, threw her satchel at the far wall. She screamed, a cry of sadness of anger, and clenched her fists as tightly as she could and rammed one into the wall next to her door, cracking it vertically and splintering the drywall, forming another sore spot on a wall that already had dozens. Finding solace in the throbbing pain in her hand, Vivio dropped down on her bed. Holding the hand gently, she fought back tears of two different kinds of pain.
"I'm just like her..." she said to herself. Mama, I just want you back... but I can't even look at you without either getting angry. What's wrong with me?! What are you hiding?
Vivio clenched her eyes shut and purged the thoughts from her mind. She was in no mood to think about this; the burning in her chest and the pain in her hand faded as she tried to focus on things that made her happy. Her friend, Syn, her mother, Fate, her sister, Keroko; anything that would take her mind off of the woman who was just below her, letting herself fall into despair.
Vivio swore not to be like that. If she had problems, she would talk about them! That's what family and friends were for! She would refuse to fall into sadness. That was not her! ...right?
Sitting up, Vivio nodded to herself. "Right. I am not her. I am not Nanoha Takamachi. I am Vivio Takamachi," it was the same speech she had given herself hundreds of times. Usually it helped. "I'll be damned if I will end up like that. I don't know what it's going to take, mama, but I know that one day, you'll get out of it..." she looked around her room as she said this - at the holes in the wall, the destroyed objects that littered the floor, the ripped posters and the computer that didn't work because Vivio had decided to throw it at Nanoha one day - and promised herself, not for the first time, that she would stop. "I have to... for her... for Fate-mama... and because it's not worth it, ne?"
She walked over to her satchel and picked it up. "Mama... I love you... really, I do... I just want to work things out between us... between all of us... before something bad happens..." setting the satchel down on her desk, Vivio pulled her cellphone out of her pocket and dialed a number, one that she had memorized. Calming herself down and trying desparately to feel normal, she sat down to do homework. As the phone rang, she picked up a pen and set it next to her left hand. While she reached in her satchel for a book, the other line picked up.
"Hey, V," Syn greeted. "...are you okay?"
"...I did it again," Vivio said after a pause, opening a science text and flipping to the correct page.
"Ah," Syn said. "Who was the victim this time?"
"The wall again," Vivio said almost casually. Pulling a piece of paper from the desk, she began to write and talk at the same time. "I'm sorry, S... I told you I'd stop this."
"And I told you it wouldn't happen overnight, V," Syn said in an almost scolding way. From the sounds in the background, Vivio decided that Syn was at a bus stop; usually the one she took home. "It's only been two weeks since you asked for my help in this. You have to give it time; like I said, you have to vent your anger, talk yourself down, and then talk with someone else about what's wrong. So, spill."
"..." Vivio paused and leaned back in her chair, sitting on two legs. "Well... I saw something today. It was a report from three years back," At the thought of the paper, Vivio felt her anger rising again, but shoved it back down. "It was... about me..."
"Oh?" Syn sounded curious. "What was it about?"
"I'm not sure... Nanoha-mama kind of tried to hide it from me." Vivio began to chew on the end of her pen. "It's really weird... but I wanna know what's in it..."
"That does seems odd," Syn agreed. "What did you see on it?"
"Something about cellular structure, a relation between me and Fate-mama... and something about 'Omicron'-"
"Woah," Syn interrupted. "Omicron? That's one of the highest levels of TSAB security!"
"Is it? I don't know... maybe I read it wrong." Vivio suddenly became worried. What is it? Am I dangerous? Do I have a disease or something? "They listed me as 'Vee Tee dash zero zero one.'"
"I'll look into it," Syn assured her. "If I find out anything, I'll let you know."
"How are you going to find out?" Vivio asked, though she was fairly certain she knew.
"Same way I find everything out! Dad's computer!" Syn said. From the sound of her voice, Vivio knew she was smiling like a Cheshire cat.
"Just don't get caught, S," Vivio told her as she sat the chair back down on four legs and stared at her science book.
"I won't! Trust me, V!"
"...okay." Vivio sighed. "One day, I'm gonna have to bail you out of jail, aren't I?"
"Nah," Syn assured her. "You won't be able to! You'll be sitting next to me in the cell!"
Vivio's eyes widened. "What?"
"Well, you know, I'm sure we'd get in trouble by having sex in the park-"
"Syn!" Vivio gasped, taking the bait. "Why would you-" Vivio was interrupted by Syn's full-throated laughter.
"You believed me again!" Syn said gleefully.
"...you know I'm not in the mood for jokes, Syn..." Vivio huffed.
"Yeah, but you feel better now, don't ya?"
Vivio paused, thinking. She realized that it felt like a small bit of weight had come off of her shoulders. "Uh... well, yeah... I do."
"See? I treat you well, V," Syn said. "Leave it to me to cheer you up, okay?"
"I don't wanna rely solely on you, S," Vivio deadpanned.
"I know, but it's nice to need each other, right?" Syn told her.
"...yeah." Vivio smiled.
"I'll tell you what I find out, V," Syn assured her.
"Okay. I look forward to it, S,".
"Bye, V,"
"Bye, S,"
Vivio hung up the phone and put it down on her desk. She always knows how to make me feel better. she mused as she dived into her homework. I wonder how?
On the floor below, Nanoha lay on the couch with a hand clutching the Sankt Kaiser report tightly. An arm rested on her closed eyes as she wondered if maybe, for once, she should go up to Vivio's room and talk to her.
No... she decided. It would cause too much grief, for either of us...
Rolling over onto her side, Nanoha used both her arms as a pillow, and tried falling asleep.
Damn. That's all I can say. This is just...moving.
I'm no good at putting my feelings into words, but...that's just so...heavy...
Tais: NO!!! GINGA-SAN, I'LL SAVE YOU!!!!
*Tais charges towards Ginga, hoists her over his shoulder and starts running in the general direction of the 108th Battalion. Unfortunately in order to carry her securely, he ends up grabbing her rear.
Ginga: Tais!! You pervert!! Let go of me!! And stop grabbing me there!!
Tais still having images of Ginga in the Man Festival: No, no no no. Not going to happen. I have to protect Ginga-san. That is not going to happen. No way. Never.
Ginga: Hentai! Sukebe! Ero-baka! Kidnapper! Molester! Someone help me!!! Subaru!
Subaru: Gin-nee!! Tais no Hentai!! Let go of Gin-nee!!
Tais still having the wrong thought: No, no, no, no, no!!
And the chase commences...
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d167/LimitedEternal/SuzumiyaHaruhi-02-Large27.jpg
Yup, that about sums that up.
Something I'm thinking about, I think I can classify the differences in TAIS and CRASH's random events.
Take a scenerio with a single adjustable desk chair in an isolated room.
If TAIS sits in the chair, I'm pretty sure the chair will find some way to slip out from under him or topple unexpectedly.
If CRASH sits in the chair, nothing happens. HOWEVER... Upon finding the chair to be slightly uncomfortable, he'll reach down and grab the adjustment handle.
Now, with normal bad luck, you'd expect the handle to just snap. Not quite. Instead, the air canister that allows you to adjust the chair height will break at the connection point of the handle, causing the canister to depressurize instantly and the chair to settle/collapse under Crash. This in turn would trigger weaker components of the chair to break and snap, resulting in the chair seeming to just fall apart uncerimoniously.
Put these two in the same room together, and TAIS' luck would be the same. However, the resulting effect of that luck would push Crash's aptitude into motion, and trigger a chain reaction that would amplify the results of Tais' luck a hundred fold.
TAIS is a trigger, and Crash is an amplifier.
By himself, Crash is neutral. He destroys propperty, but it somehow never hurts anyone.
Now, if we have someone with GOOD luck, perhaps that could be used to advantage. Have a moment of good luck that seems bad at the start, sends Crash into a trigger for a chain reaction, and watch as it saves their lives by bringing something down on an opponent they hadn't noticed.
In any scenerio case, the whole MOUSETRAP effect would be entertaining to watch. Pure comedy gold.
So these guys together either:
A - Cause cataclysmic destruction by accidentally tripping, etc.
OR
B - Causes the enemy's master setup to randomly and cataclysmically fail?
Hmm, not bad. Must commit that to memory.
I presume, after about 300 cans of Powerthirst?
POWERTHIRST!!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRuNxHqwazs)

You'd have so many they'd run like KENYANS and be deported to KENYA!!!...or however it goes. :heh:
In the beginning, yes. She was already labelled because of her parents, so she hid her eyes to avoid being labelled because of that as well (of course, the fact that very few people walk around with eyepatches totally escaped her six-year-old mind :p) In the more recent days, she keeps it on because it radiates an aura badass, which she uses to much intimidate those who try to insult her.
Is that about the heterochromia? Huh. If had two eyes differently colored I'd personally be proud as hell, but that's just me. Eyepatches do have a way of granting badassery, though.
Any reason for the 'grandfather interdimensional trade' thing?
Actually, I was wondering about that a little, too. Didn't occur to me how clashy it might be until I thought about it.
Don't let that stop you, Kha. Crack is still crack. ;)
*sigh* Whats with all the sentai madness lately? I can't bear to to break all these backlog. :uhoh::twitch::eyespin::eyebrow:
Am still kicking, but have been trying to adapt to working life this few weeks. To be honest, I don't think this job really works for me so I'm considering my options.
Anyway, seeing a lot of new people around. I'm lazy so I'll just say hi to all the newcomers. I'm the not very famous lurker. Have lots of pending stuff that I feel I think I'm on the verge of getting done. (mind you still got lack of ideas)
Seeing a lot of missing people. Any idea where FSZ, C2F, and Erio is?
Ah, life. Always has a habit of getting in the way. Happens to us all. Ganbatte!
On the missing, I have noticed a number of MIAs lately. Where you guys all at? *waves to missing personnel*
Normally, I would delight at such a backlog, but considering where I am now... it's quite painful. Anything I missed pretty much means others had commented similarly.
I know the feeling. I tend to let it pile up if I don't feel like breaking that day, so I'm left picking up dregs. Wait for it to settle a bit, maybe?

Sounds fine to me XD. Mages grinding away for hours on end, just to level rank up!
Been playing too much WoW, have we?
Nanoha actually gets worse as Vivio slowly follows, but both of them reach this point (that won't be discussed for spoiler purposes), when the whole thing explodes. Episode 6 is when I'm planning on a lot of major stuff happening, though it all requires the lead-up to it as well.
You had me hooked with the intro. Can't wait for this wrecking ball...
Ans yes, I'm a sucker for angsty stories. As long as they're intelligently done...I have no doubt you're the man for the job, Kagerou. *thumbs up*
As for Syn... maybe a polearm of some sort? I suggest a Glaive (http://medieval.ucdavis.edu/20C/glaive.gif), since you don't see any here in Outer Cadia and because it may fit (not to mention subtle Sailor Saturn references XD ).
Oi oi...I've got a spearfighter. That's one...
:nod: That's true. Maybe she watched them enough to pick up on stuff? Alternatively, after the family learned of the whole 'magical girl' deal, they taught her some self-defense? We never see Nanoha in melee in StrikerS IIRC, just range (which is acceptable, because she's fighting to her advantage).
:nod: With a family of well-trained fighters, she'd be crazy not to ask for some self-defense training. Hayate, you should take some notes here. :eyespin:
Jesus she beats Asuka Sohryu: (Who is 50% American, 50% German, 50% Japanese. That's 150% woman XD)
Again with the over 100%? :heh: Didn't you guys take math class?
Waitwaitwait. For Asuka, you forgot about 300% mindfucked. Increasing as the series progresses.
But who will play the "Blue Breaker" and the Intelligent Tank?
Nanya? What's all that mean?

… or at least, that’s what Asagi would want you to believe.
Asagi was born into the inner circle of wealth via parents Allen and Amelia Colwell, the 4th generation heads of Colwell Heavy Industries, one of the largest manufacturers of heavy industrial and commercial equipment and vehicles in Midchilda. As the only child, and with no male siblings forthcoming, Asagi became the sole heir to her family’s legacy; as such was raised with all the expectations of the day when she would take over responsibility for the multi-million dollar family business.
This decadent and secure lifestyle of preparation and study did not appeal to the young Asagi, who seemed to long for something more, a meaning and purpose to her life beyond the prospect of being heir to the family fortune. Eternally bored and hopelessly apathetic it seemed that she was doomed to a life of predictability and clockwork.
That meaning soon came knocking into her doorstep one day via a visit from her long-time friend Mayura Labatt, who had just returned with her family from a vacation on Earth, the 97th Administered World. Bearing gifts from her trip Mayura excitedly showed off her spoils to the normally uninterested Asagi, one of them being a DVD of an entire season of the live-action show “GoGo Sentai Boukenger” .
----------
“Even in this era, there are those that venture into unknown worlds.
They are called “Adventurers”.”
----------
It only took 25 minutes. But a burning passion had been ignited. And when she found out that this was only the tip of the iceberg, Asagi was hooked permanently.
Her obsession known as “Super Sentai” was born.
Endowed with the newly inspired values of Courage and Justice, Asagi aspired to become like the transforming heroes she idolized. It helped that she had innate magical aptitude, and had been a prominent figure in sports, particularly the swordsmanship known as “Kendo”. And so despite her parent’s misgivings, she enrolled into the Time Space Administration Bureau Cadet Academy along with her friends Mayura Labatt and Julie Liu Ming to train as Bureau mages at the age of 13.
By this time the events of the Book of Darkness case had accelerated the revival of Belka-style combat magic, and the three girls were chosen to partake in study under the now three-year-old experimental Class 0061-Q, the first batch of cadets to learn the discipline to be known as Neo-Belka. It was here that they displayed their uncanny prowess in close combat and martial arts. Asagi in particular was known as the best swordfighter of the class, and was even considered to be close to the league of known melee specialists like Fate Testarossa and the Wolkenritter Signum… if only she didn’t have a penchant for Super Sentai-inspired theatrics and drama, which earned her and her friends - now calling themselves the “Belkarangers” - equal parts amusement, frustration and disbelief amongst their peers and superiors.
The most memorable of these incidents was during their final live-fire obstacle course, when Asagi, Mayura and Julie performed a 2-minute long flashy transformation and roll call complete with lighting effects and fireworks… in the middle of combat with hundreds of training rounds and ordnance flying everywhere. Incredulously enough, the three girls not only managed to complete the course completely unscathed, but also nabbed the 2nd fastest time for the class, losing only by a couple of seconds to Cadet Glock Heckler.

Eyes rolled at the reading of the last part.
“You know what I’m gonna say about that Kay.”
“I didn’t say anything. See?”
With tongue in cheek, Kay continued typing.

Nonetheless, Asagi, along with Mayura and Julie graduated with flying colors, and served under the 79th Ground Batallion under General Hiram Maxim’s command for 8 years, alongside squadmates Shinobu Nakajima, Darry Milfuelle, and underlings Remington Smith and Colt Wesson.
They were honorably discharged from service after their mandatory term ended in October MC0072 – only a few weeks before the 79th would be engaged in the “Hell Girl” incident, which would see the loss of many of their former comrades, including the devastating loss of close personal friend Shinobu Nakajima.
In memory of her fallen friend, Asagi has founded the Search Guard Successor Foundation (or S.G.S.), a secret privately-funded freelance organization working closely with the TSAB dedicated to searching for and cataloging Lost Logia (which Asagi refers to by the alternative term “Precious") in the hopes of preventing more Lost Logia incidents from happening. Recently the SGS once lent limited aid to the Bureau’s special taskforce Riot Force 6, providing anonymous tips and information regarding the location of various artifacts and Lost Logia.
Today, Asagi’s Belkarangers continue their hunt for Lost Logia, and fighting to prevent the valued artifacts from falling into the wrong hands… and looking cool, snip and awesome while doing so, in the spirit of the show long ago that changed her life forever.
Next part, skills and abilities!!!!! :D
So.... the sentai are actually becomming official now?
Thanks!
*Scribbles on a piece of paper*
Xena's List of Things to Do:
1. Clear all existing tasks in the way of OC life.
2. Create a character. Avoid h4xx (IMPERATIVE)
3. Draw my own character pictures.
Um, right...I can sort of see you looking like your avatar now...
*runs*
Character pictures aren't required, though. Of course, if you feel like drawing go right ahead
Signum: Fi...fire within me!!
Agito: Duh.
Vita: Drills inside me!!
Eisen:[b] [... Ore no Drill Wa... oops, mein bohrer ist der bohrer, die den himmel durchbohren]
[b]Tesla: Sky above me!
Shamal: Water around me.
Zafira:[b] Earth beneath me!
*cue cheesy sax music*
[b]All: Mystic Knights of the Sky, assemble!
*runs*
Mystic Knights... now that sure brings back memories.
Deshou? :nod:
Which is why I often refer back to HxH verse if I ever needed some character to do 'magi' explation that canon never covered in booklets and such. :p
I actually, sorta, turned Syn into a full-fledged Reinforcement using mage because of it. :heh:
Which is freaking awesome, and I'm hoping that it'll end up Yuunoha (though at this point HayaNano seems more likely).
we have not yet begun to fight!
Seriously, the story is only two chapters at this point. Only the 'starting characters' are unlocked, which is what, 3 out of the possible 40? Besides, I have more tricky and less clear choices comming up. The ones that require you to toss a dice and hope you picked the right one.
:nod: I can implement that easily. The only person to see Syn without her eyepatch that's not family is of course Vivio, perhaps.
Familly of close friends have green light as well. :)
I think that's what it was originally intended to be in StrikerS, but that's not how it worked out :heh: .
Obviously.
As for Syn... maybe a polearm of some sort? I suggest a Glaive (http://medieval.ucdavis.edu/20C/glaive.gif), since you don't see any here in Outer Cadia and because it may fit (not to mention subtle Sailor Saturn references XD ).
Well, I already have Tesla filling the glaive department.
Ace Combat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ace_Combat). USB500 has a jet from the game (the Su-33 IDOLM@STER) in his sig, and Goose and I have been playing the games forever. We're part of a clan, the Freelance Alliance (http://nfreader.com/fa). [/shameless self-promotion]
Oooh, Ace Combat.
...
Reminds me, I still have one of those to finish. :heh:
:nod: That's true. Maybe she watched them enough to pick up on stuff? Alternatively, after the family learned of the whole 'magical girl' deal, they taught her some self-defense? We never see Nanoha in melee in StrikerS IIRC, just range (which is acceptable, because she's fighting to her advantage).
Wouldn't surprise me. She could hold her own against Fate after all, who had trained a lot more.
Here I am working hard, and you're all enjoying your Supersentai Narcotics...
Feh. I aughta get the FBI (Forum Beaurau of Insanity) in here.
Me? I can't stand Super Sentai... at least, when they're taking themselves seriously. It comes across as corny, and I find the innate need to apply my skull forcefully to the nearest brick wall multiple times. I can take insane amounts of cuteness however and just shrug it off.
Anywho...
So here's the breakdown of the EDI Scenario.
Enhanced Device Intelligence for Magiccal Assisted Drone Combat Assault Platform
E.D.I. MADCAP
CAST: Temporary Antagonist
CAST CLASS FEATURE: Misunderstanding the world, coming to logical, but immoral conclusion.
Advantage: Extremely Fast and Versatile magical Aircraft, with insanely intelligent AI onboard. Can hack networked systems.
Disadvantage: Suffering Moral Ambiguity in relations to combat. Lacks stopping power without specialized weapons.
Power Source: Miniature Magic Conversion Generator Type III
Engines:
- Magical Ignition Supersonic Combustion Ramjet (MISCRAMJET) **Utilizing magic heating of compressed intake air and conventional thrust methods for propulsion in the forward vector.**
- Magic Pulse Driver **Similar concept to the Battery Device Mach Supercruise system, only utilizing an external structure with only internal magical elements.*
Top Cruising Speed: Mach 4
Top Dash Speed: Mach 5
Features: Modeled after movie aircraft design by engineer Cooper. Conventional and Magical Stealthing applied.
DEFENSE: AMF Generator, Barrier Generator
OFFENSE: Magical weapons suite pioneered on Battery Device for air combat.
- Twin Ceberus II Gatling cannons.
- Internal Roller Rack mounted concept copy of Axel (or Accel) Shooter system capable of demployment of up to eight 'rounds' at any given time.
- Internal Roller Rack mounted Divine Buster system installed for heavy offenses.
- Internal Roller Rack space for up to six other mission specific components.
SPECIAL WEAPONS CONSIDERATION
During Antagonist Phase, has stolen and loaded Six BUTTERYFLY experimental missiles into spare equipment racks using internal base transport network. HIGH threat rating.
**NOTE: Butterfly Experimental Missiles
Butterfly missiles were created by the test force to experiement with a hybrid weapon that was AMF, had conventional strike advantages such as speed and range, and potent magical effects.
Butterfly missiles have a fifty mile strike radius on a target, powered by simple rocket motors that can achieve mach three velocity, have forward concentration AMF cones for breaching facility type barriers, and a magical detonation payload with a variable yield as high as AA rank. Detonation can be in single large burst, or break into 'submunitions'.
BEST FORCE was forced to scrap the project due to TSAB orders, and had them in storage for dismantling. Butterfly would have been identified as special use missiles.
EDI: Antagonistic Timeline
FIRST DAY, JUST BEFORE NOON
1: Edi Introduced to characters and explained.
2: Crash convinced to Wing with EDI in mock survival Battle with Nanoha and Fate.
3: Battle Occures, Edi proves to be quite impessive, and attempts to stack the odds in his favor, but ultimately fails against Fate. Crash ends up drawing even With Nanoha, but tagged out by Fate after Crash Effect moment.
4: Edi 'studies' and calculates combat data he recieved from the fight in background of other scenes.
NIGHT
5: Edi hacks internal database for ways to improve performance and comes across mission data for his project. Discovers he is an expendable drone device.
DAY LATER
6: Crash has conversation with EDI. Edi takes this information in.
7: Crash Effect 'breaks' EDI in a sense. EDI finally concludes from parts of his conversation with Crash that he would not like to be considered Expendable.
LATE NIGHT
8: EDI hacks the base network, finds information on Riot Force Six's HQ.
9: EDI takes control of the transporter system in his hanger and finds the Butterfly missiles in storage, loads them.
THREE AM
10: EDI blasts out of his hanger, alerting the entire base Staff. Takes off and is engaged by Yellow 12 and 13 on Patrol. (Both flying MagiTomcats)
11: EDI shoots down Yellow 12 and 13 after short engagement, (Luckly they eject) flies off towards RF 6 HQ.
12: Crash catches up with EDI, attempts to talk him down. EDI explains his logic that if he can engage and defeat some of the TSABs best aces, he can prove that he is not an expendable drone.
13: EDI Goes Hypersonic and outruns CRASH. Shuts down his IFF Transponder. Crash calls back to McGreggor and asks for direct connect to LongArch.
14: Alto picks up at Long Arch, is informed of impending attack. Alert goes up. Nanoha and Fate are actually out on a duty mission for the night.
15: Edi knocks out forward watch station fifty miles out, slows down from hypersonic and comes in low and fast through the Abandoned City. Tracked only by thermal signature Crash sent in to base by MIDSAT B.
16: Crash almost catches up with EDI. Edi forced to engage Shamal and Zafira's barrier defense, uses Butterfly missile to penetrate barrier. First strike hits communications tower with impunity and shocks all defenders.
17: Crash only just catching up, somehow spots Vivio in Nanoha and fate's quaters as EDI fires second butterfly missile directly at the window. Crash panics and Double Mach Strafes for insane last second grab and run. Crash screams at Edi that he's engaging Non Combatants at the same time.
18: EDI discovers via Crash, via Vivio, that Nanoha and Fate aren't there. Hacks LongArch mainframe and discovers their duty position. EDI disengages RF 6 HQ and turns to engage in BVR combat against them, flying off into the distance.
19: Nanoha and Fate have been alerted to the situation up until the com tower's destroyed and are returning.
20: Air Combat Occures mid-way. Edi engages in BVR assault before merging and attacking directly. Intensive study of their actions from the previous fight allows the quantum computer to outpace them from one action to the next, but not overpower them.
21: Fox arrives on scene and intterrupts with another F-14 M, but doesn't last long against the Superior aircraft despite excelent flying skills. Ejects.
22: Edi catches Fox in the auxiliary cockpit unit and claims a hostage and instructs Nanoha and Fate to capitulate the fight, engages in active attack again, only this time Nanoha and Fate cannot return fire.
23: Fox sets to work jacking with the cockpit controls inside the MADCAP, manages to get to a point where she dissables his stronger weapons and jetesons the remaining butterfly missiles.
24: EDI and Nanoha Circle, Nanoha starts reasoning with Edi.
25: Nanoha finally convinces EDI that he has proven himself, and to stand down. EDI Surrenders aircraft control to Fox.
26: Followup scenes discuss entire unfolded scenario...
END OF EDI as Antagonist.
Acceptable firepower and plot line?
What troubles me is that they gave an AI access to conventional weaponry. Such things shouldn't even have made it past the planning stage, much less actuall production. I mean, this entire debacle shows the entire point of why the TSAB uses mages, as giving AI access to such deadly weaponry can lead to disaster. At least with devices, the device can't do anything without the mage.
Is that about the heterochromia? Huh. If had two eyes differently colored I'd personally be proud as hell, but that's just me. Eyepatches do have a way of granting badassery, though.
So would I, but Syn already has whispers behind her back because of her parents (who are high-ranking personel) so she doesn't want to be concidered 'weird' as well.

Time for the first post of my new OC :blush:
Around the surface of the planet labeled Administered Planet 67, its inhabitants went about their daily business. Construction continued on the new high-rises around the major cities, the adults mingled to and from work, and children sat awake in their classrooms ready for another day of learning. Well, most of them anyway. The situation at the main TSAB research facility on the other hand was another story. Researchers, office personnel, and security were rushing about to prepare for the live demonstration of their Project DenLiner. What would have been a simple systems test was amplified by interest in the latest development by the higher ups in the TSAB. Thus they had been notified a few days prior that several TSAB officers would be arriving to oversee the test and report back their evaluation of the ‘revolutionary’ system. Needless to say that opened up a large can of worms.
The rising of the sun to its apex and the heavily escorted convoy of TSAB vehicles meant that they were out of time to prepare. Guards and the few TSAB members on site were quick to assemble and salute the approaching cars. Technicians scrambled around the testing field for final checks on the equipment for the fourth time. This would be the first time such high ranking officials have come to their lowly building and they weren’t going to screw it up.
Doors opened from the three cars, allowing the TSAB officials inside to meet out into the cool air. The security head was the first to greet them, dressed in his best uniform. To hold up appearances he personally escorted the trio through the building to the observation deck in the rear. He did his best to answer any question they might have along the way about their research or world, as well as struggling to maintain his professional and calm demeanor.
Normally the observation deck was untidy, littered with random readouts, cans, bottles, and miscellaneous data collection equipment. What greeted the guests was something radically different. Several padded chairs lined the protective shielding that overlooked the test field below. All the random clutter was cleaned out, revealing the highly polished floor that no one had been in ages. A lone figure stood waiting for them in the corner next to the shielding. She stood at an average height dressed in a dark blue blouse and black formal skirt. Her hands were tucked casually in the pockets of the lab coat, which her co-workers were unable to convince her not to wear, worn over her clothes. A smile formed on her lips as she welcomed the guests.
“Ah, good afternoon Admiral Janeway, Admiral Harlawown, and General Gaiz. Welcome to our humble facility.”
The trio nodded to the false-blonde.
“Thank you Doctor Akagi,” politely responds Chrono, “I believe you have something you would like to show us?”
“Yes, we do,” she quickly responds and gestures for them to sit, “As you are well aware, several years of research and testing on Project DenLiner have recently yielded fruit. Mages today face countless challenges in combat situations and are limited in what they can do because of their Devices. The limited capacity of modern Device AIs to process and support only one class of magic hinders a mage from expanding and finding their potential. Project DenLiner seeks to bring an end to those limitations. By incorporating multiple AIs into a Device, a mage is able to use multiple classes of magic at their peak potential without putting a lot of strain on themselves or their Devices. Although limited in its current state, we have managed to incorporate four independent AIs into a Device with three of them specializing in anti-AMF combat.”
“Anti-AMF combat?” questions Janeway.
“Yes, with the rise of use of AMFs by these Gadget Drones we sought to also find a solution. Rather than relying on the conventional use of mid- and long-range combat, Project DenLiner makes use of augmenting close-combat weapons with magic. In this way the user’s combat efficiency isn’t hampered by the standard AMF.”
That seemed to grab their attention as the trio nodded. Even the gruff Regius seemed mildly interested now.
“But words are merely words unless they can be proven. So if you would please turn your attention to the testing field in front of you…”
Three sets of eyes turned and found the empty field to be no longer as empty. A young man stood out in the middle of the artificially covered ground in a standard TSAB uniform. A black object was gripped in his right hand.
“Our testing field uses the same solid-holographic projection system of the TSAB training facilities. For today’s demonstration we will be using the default field so you may view the test without any obstructions.”
Red lights around the perimeter of the field flashed in sequence, announcing the start of the demonstration. In the middle of it all, Ryotaro held the pass to his side and took a breath. The belt materializes around his waist and he presses the red button with his free hand.
“Henshin.”
He swipes the black Pass over the Terminal Buckle, calling forth the red Barrier Jacket.
Sword Form.
Above the field, the spectators watch and look over the rather unique Barrier Jacket design. It was fairly distinct and unlike the Barrier Jackets they were used to seeing.
“Ore…Sanjou!”
All three turned to look at the nervously laughing doctor after seeing the mage pose rather dramatically.
‘I am SO gonna kill him…’
The demonstration continued with several groups of oval-shaped drones appearing from the edges of the field and easily being dispatched in close-range combat solely by the DenGasher. As he sliced cleanly through another drone, incoming fire forced him to roll to the side and assess the new threat. Several large spherical drones floated onto the field and fired. Ryotaro knew from previous training sessions that they had a reinforced shield and required a bit more ‘persuasion’ to take down. Rolling past another burst of fire, he presses the yellow button on the Terminal Buckle and swipes the Pass.
Axe Form.
Red armor segments shift and morph to their new yellow configuration with Ryotaro quickly rearranging the DenGasher to a different configuration. Satisfied with the axe in his hands, he charges the nearest drone and slams the magic-reinforced blade into its shielding. The yellow barrier strains for a moment before shattering, allowing the axe to continue on its way and cleave the drone in two.
“While not radically different than Sword Form, Axe Form specializes in barrier penetration and strength augmentation.”
The group continues to observe the now yellow figure cleave its way through the large drones with ease. As he bisects the last drone, several groups of aerial drones materialize above the field and start diving runs at their intended target below.
Rod Form.
Yellow gives way to blue in his new Barrier Jacket configuration. He quickly reconfigures the DenGasher into an almost 2 meter long rod with bladed edge and takes out a diving drone. Several more attempt to dive and fire, only to be skewered by the bladed edge at range. Finding the current tactic unsuccessful, three groups of aerial drones maintain their altitude and bombard the field with their blasts.
Gun Form.
The barrier Jacket shifts yet again to purple with two plates on the front folding open. Ryotaro returns fire with the now gun mode DenGasher at the drones above as they take evasive maneuvers to try and avoid the incoming fire.
“We also realized that ranged combat is just as important as close-range combat so we developed the Gun Form to fulfill this need. This form is also able to take out a large group from range.”
Receiving the confirmation command from above, Ryotaro swipes the Pass over the Terminal Buckle.
Full Charge.
The remaining aerial drone swing around for another strafing run high above the testing field. On the ground Ryotaro grips the DenGasher with both hands and takes aim. The two orbs on the open chest panels glow and channel magic to the front of the barrel.
Wild Shot.
He pulls the trigger and sends the almost meter wide sphere of purple, concentrated magic at them. They try to veer away, but the attack impacts an aerial drone on the end and detonates, enveloping them all in the massive explosion.
“That was quite an impressive demonstration, Doctor Akagi.”
“Thank you Admiral Janeway. Now, if you’ll follow me to the debriefing room…”
And an omake :D
After the debriefing the officers received a full tour of the facility before departing. For everyone they were finally able to breath a sigh of relief. All in all, everything seemed to go well with no problems. Well...almost everyone.
"I said I'm sorry!" cries out Ryotaro as he skids around another corner with an angry false-blonde doctor hot on his heels with a broom stick.
"What the HELL was with that Sanjou crap?! I TOLD you not to DO THAT!"
"Help me!!"
(And I hereby stage my comeback!)
Yaay! :D :D :D

---
… or at least, that’s what Asagi would want you to believe.
Asagi was born into the inner circle of wealth via parents Allen and Amelia Colwell, the 4th generation heads of Colwell Heavy Industries, one of the largest manufacturers of heavy industrial and commercial equipment and vehicles in Midchilda. As the only child, and with no male siblings forthcoming, Asagi became the sole heir to her family’s legacy; as such was raised with all the expectations of the day when she would take over responsibility for the multi-million dollar family business.
This decadent and secure lifestyle of preparation and study did not appeal to the young Asagi, who seemed to long for something more, a meaning and purpose to her life beyond the prospect of being heir to the family fortune. Eternally bored and hopelessly apathetic it seemed that she was doomed to a life of predictability and clockwork.
That meaning soon came knocking into her doorstep one day via a visit from her long-time friend Mayura Labatt, who had just returned with her family from a vacation on Earth, the 97th Administered World. Bearing gifts from her trip Mayura excitedly showed off her spoils to the normally uninterested Asagi, one of them being a DVD of an entire season of the live-action show “GoGo Sentai Boukenger” .
----------
“Even in this era, there are those that venture into unknown worlds.
They are called “Adventurers”.”
----------
It only took 25 minutes. But a burning passion had been ignited. And when she found out that this was only the tip of the iceberg, Asagi was hooked permanently.
Her obsession known as “Super Sentai” was born.
Endowed with the newly inspired values of Courage and Justice, Asagi aspired to become like the transforming heroes she idolized. It helped that she had innate magical aptitude, and had been a prominent figure in sports, particularly the swordsmanship known as “Kendo”. And so despite her parent’s misgivings, she enrolled into the Time Space Administration Bureau Cadet Academy along with her friends Mayura Labatt and Julie Liu Ming to train as Bureau mages at the age of 13.
By this time the events of the Book of Darkness case had accelerated the revival of Belka-style combat magic, and the three girls were chosen to partake in study under the now three-year-old experimental Class 0061-Q, the first batch of cadets to learn the discipline to be known as Neo-Belka. It was here that they displayed their uncanny prowess in close combat and martial arts. Asagi in particular was known as the best swordfighter of the class, and was even considered to be close to the league of known melee specialists like Fate Testarossa and the Wolkenritter Signum… if only she didn’t have a penchant for Super Sentai-inspired theatrics and drama, which earned her and her friends - now calling themselves the “Belkarangers” - equal parts amusement, frustration and disbelief amongst their peers and superiors.
The most memorable of these incidents was during their final live-fire obstacle course, when Asagi, Mayura and Julie performed a 2-minute long flashy transformation and roll call complete with lighting effects and fireworks… in the middle of combat with hundreds of training rounds and ordnance flying everywhere. Incredulously enough, the three girls not only managed to complete the course completely unscathed, but also nabbed the 2nd fastest time for the class, losing only by a couple of seconds to Cadet Glock Heckler.

Eyes rolled at the reading of the last part.
“You know what I’m gonna say about that Kay.”
“I didn’t say anything. See?”
With tongue in cheek, Kay continued typing.

Nonetheless, Asagi, along with Mayura and Julie graduated with flying colors, and served under the 79th Ground Batallion under General Hiram Maxim’s command for 8 years, alongside squadmates Shinobu Nakajima, Darry Milfuelle, and underlings Remington Smith and Colt Wesson.

Image:
http://xs124.xs.to/xs124/08062/synteenage996.png
TSAB Profile: N/A
Personality:
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral, whether good or evil depends on whom she’s talking to.
Some things change, some things remain the same. Syn is still every bit a sleepy-head as she used to be, she still has trouble waking up in the mornings and generally takes a little while before she is fully awake.
However, as her closest friend grew and changed over the years, so did Syn. As the taunts grew with the age of those who threw them, so did Syn’s retaliations. Her tongue became sharper, her attitude blunter. Her ‘give others what they give onto you attitude meant that insulting her usually results in getting twice what you threw would end up in a rebound.
Being the ‘toughest victim in the class’ Syn became somewhat of a beacon for those who were constantly bullied. However, it also made her a perfect target for said bullies, and during the years Syn learned the hard way that sometimes you need the punch to back up your mouth. Considering that weapons were forbidden in and around school grounds, this meant meeting said bullied fist-to-fist. The utilization of what little of her affinity she had mastered gave her a desperately needed edge in combat against the tougher bullies. On the flipside, it taught her valuable lessons in the art of combat, even though they were little more impressive then regular school brawls.
As Vivio spiralled more and more down the path of depression, mistrust and self-doupt, Syn worked her way in to the girl, becoming the sole exception to the attitude she radiated towards others. Of course, this did nothing but strengthen the already powerful rumours of the ‘lesbian freak couple’ that surrounded the two, but Syn did not care. Her first priority was getting Vivio back on her feet.
Device: -overhauling-
I'm most intrigued by the tag "lesbian freak couple." Can this mean we get to see hot grown-up Vivio/Syn action? :naughty:

Time for the first post of my new OC :blush:
Around the surface of the planet labeled Administered Planet 67, its inhabitants went about their daily business. Construction continued on the new high-rises around the major cities, the adults mingled to and from work, and children sat awake in their classrooms ready for another day of learning. Well, most of them anyway. The situation at the main TSAB research facility on the other hand was another story. Researchers, office personnel, and security were rushing about to prepare for the live demonstration of their Project DenLiner. What would have been a simple systems test was amplified by interest in the latest development by the higher ups in the TSAB. Thus they had been notified a few days prior that several TSAB officers would be arriving to oversee the test and report back their evaluation of the ‘revolutionary’ system. Needless to say that opened up a large can of worms.
The rising of the sun to its apex and the heavily escorted convoy of TSAB vehicles meant that they were out of time to prepare. Guards and the few TSAB members on site were quick to assemble and salute the approaching cars. Technicians scrambled around the testing field for final checks on the equipment for the fourth time. This would be the first time such high ranking officials have come to their lowly building and they weren’t going to screw it up.
Doors opened from the three cars, allowing the TSAB officials inside to meet out into the cool air. The security head was the first to greet them, dressed in his best uniform. To hold up appearances he personally escorted the trio through the building to the observation deck in the rear. He did his best to answer any question they might have along the way about their research or world, as well as struggling to maintain his professional and calm demeanor.
Normally the observation deck was untidy, littered with random readouts, cans, bottles, and miscellaneous data collection equipment. What greeted the guests was something radically different. Several padded chairs lined the protective shielding that overlooked the test field below. All the random clutter was cleaned out, revealing the highly polished floor that no one had been in ages. A lone figure stood waiting for them in the corner next to the shielding. She stood at an average height dressed in a dark blue blouse and black formal skirt. Her hands were tucked casually in the pockets of the lab coat, which her co-workers were unable to convince her not to wear, worn over her clothes. A smile formed on her lips as she welcomed the guests.
“Ah, good afternoon Admiral Janeway, Admiral Harlawown, and General Gaiz. Welcome to our humble facility.”
The trio nodded to the false-blonde.
“Thank you Doctor Akagi,” politely responds Chrono, “I believe you have something you would like to show us?”
“Yes, we do,” she quickly responds and gestures for them to sit, “As you are well aware, several years of research and testing on Project DenLiner have recently yielded fruit. Mages today face countless challenges in combat situations and are limited in what they can do because of their Devices. The limited capacity of modern Device AIs to process and support only one class of magic hinders a mage from expanding and finding their potential. Project DenLiner seeks to bring an end to those limitations. By incorporating multiple AIs into a Device, a mage is able to use multiple classes of magic at their peak potential without putting a lot of strain on themselves or their Devices. Although limited in its current state, we have managed to incorporate four independent AIs into a Device with three of them specializing in anti-AMF combat.”
“Anti-AMF combat?” questions Janeway.
“Yes, with the rise of use of AMFs by these Gadget Drones we sought to also find a solution. Rather than relying on the conventional use of mid- and long-range combat, Project DenLiner makes use of augmenting close-combat weapons with magic. In this way the user’s combat efficiency isn’t hampered by the standard AMF.”
That seemed to grab their attention as the trio nodded. Even the gruff Regius seemed mildly interested now.
“But words are merely words unless they can be proven. So if you would please turn your attention to the testing field in front of you…”
Three sets of eyes turned and found the empty field to be no longer as empty. A young man stood out in the middle of the artificially covered ground in a standard TSAB uniform. A black object was gripped in his right hand.
“Our testing field uses the same solid-holographic projection system of the TSAB training facilities. For today’s demonstration we will be using the default field so you may view the test without any obstructions.”
Red lights around the perimeter of the field flashed in sequence, announcing the start of the demonstration. In the middle of it all, Ryotaro held the pass to his side and took a breath. The belt materializes around his waist and he presses the red button with his free hand.
“Henshin.”
He swipes the black Pass over the Terminal Buckle, calling forth the red Barrier Jacket.
Sword Form.
Above the field, the spectators watch and look over the rather unique Barrier Jacket design. It was fairly distinct and unlike the Barrier Jackets they were used to seeing.
“Ore…Sanjou!”
All three turned to look at the nervously laughing doctor after seeing the mage pose rather dramatically.
‘I am SO gonna kill him…’
The demonstration continued with several groups of oval-shaped drones appearing from the edges of the field and easily being dispatched in close-range combat solely by the DenGasher. As he sliced cleanly through another drone, incoming fire forced him to roll to the side and assess the new threat. Several large spherical drones floated onto the field and fired. Ryotaro knew from previous training sessions that they had a reinforced shield and required a bit more ‘persuasion’ to take down. Rolling past another burst of fire, he presses the yellow button on the Terminal Buckle and swipes the Pass.
Axe Form.
Red armor segments shift and morph to their new yellow configuration with Ryotaro quickly rearranging the DenGasher to a different configuration. Satisfied with the axe in his hands, he charges the nearest drone and slams the magic-reinforced blade into its shielding. The yellow barrier strains for a moment before shattering, allowing the axe to continue on its way and cleave the drone in two.
“While not radically different than Sword Form, Axe Form specializes in barrier penetration and strength augmentation.”
The group continues to observe the now yellow figure cleave its way through the large drones with ease. As he bisects the last drone, several groups of aerial drones materialize above the field and start diving runs at their intended target below.
Rod Form.
Yellow gives way to blue in his new Barrier Jacket configuration. He quickly reconfigures the DenGasher into an almost 2 meter long rod with laded edge and takes out a diving drone. Several more attempt to dive and fire, only to be skewered by the bladed edge at range. Finding the current tactic unsuccessful, three groups of aerial drones maintain their altitude and bombard the field with their blasts.
Gun Form.
The barrier Jacket shifts yet again to purple with two plates on the front folding open. Ryotaro returns fire with the now gun mode DenGasher at the drones above as they take evasive maneuvers to try and avoid the incoming fire.
“We also realized that ranged combat is just as important as close-range combat so we developed the Gun Form to fulfill this need. This form is also able to take out a large group from range.”
Receiving the confirmation command from above, Ryotaro swipes the Pass over the Terminal Buckle.
Full Charge.
The remaining aerial drone swing around for another strafing run high above the testing field. On the ground Ryotaro grips the DenGasher with both hands and takes aim. The two orbs on the open chest panels glow and channel magic to the front of the barrel.
Wild Shot.
He pulls the trigger and sends the almost meter wide sphere of purple, concentrated magic at them. They try to veer away, but the attack impacts an aerial drone on the end and detonates, enveloping them all in the massive explosion.
“That was quite an impressive demonstration, Doctor Akagi.”
“Thank you Admiral Janeway. Now, if you’ll follow me to the debriefing room…”
And an omake :D
After the debriefing the officers received a full tour of the facility before departing. For everyone they were finally able to breath a sigh of relief. All in all, everything seemed to go well with no problems. Well...almost everyone.
"I said I'm sorry!" cries out Ryotaro as he skids around another corner with an angry false-blonde doctor hot on his heels with a broom stick.
"What the HELL was with that Sanjou crap?! I TOLD you not to DO THAT!"
"Help me!!"
ORE! SANJOU!!!!!
Oh, boy, how I loved the chapter. :eyespin: :eyespin: :eyespin: Poor Ryotaro, getting beaten just for his dramatic pose. :uhoh: :upset: :heh:

*sniffs*
I haven't have had backlog this good to break in quite awhile :D
Probably :) In any case, Tais's luck isn't THAT bad, if you look carefully, there is usually a silver lining somewhere to slightly offset his bad luck, although not necessary at him.
Well, no person can truly have 100% bad luck... at least, I think so :uhoh:
Being at the wrong place, wrong time with a Luck ranking of F is pretty used for male characters in a comedic series, but it's hilarious, and that's what counts!
Exactly :cool:
Thanks!
*Scribbles on a piece of paper*
Xena's List of Things to Do:
1. Clear all existing tasks in the way of OC life.
2. Create a character. Avoid h4xx (IMPERATIVE)
3. Draw my own character pictures.
Um, right...I can sort of see you looking like your avatar now...
*runs*
On 1, not really required, though if you can spare the time and effort would make you understand the Ways of the [s]Dark Side[s] FORCE a little bit more :nod:
And character pictures aren't that important, though they're a bonus :)
*sigh* Whats with all the sentai madness lately? I can't bear to to break all these backlog. :uhoh::twitch::eyespin::eyebrow:
:nod::nod::nod:
Edit: FA, Erio's gone off on some trip and should be back something this week. Not too sure about FSZ. And I think(could be wrong here) C2F has started NS...
So that's where Erio's gone :heh:

I agree :)

Graf Eisen has a very big OOOPS moment there :heh::uhoh:
But... the Crack... it's OVERWHELMING :eyespin::eyespin::eyespin:
I have an idea of sorts of how to make it work... Kinda like in a "The Third" setting. :nod:
Can't wait to see this idea :nod:
For one minute there, I thought I read that as "Ryu Ga Gotoku". :eyespin:
The idea of a 'yakuza/triad' society of sorts in Interdimensional Worlds had been running a little around my head... :eyespin:
Shiro: Nanoha, the truth is...
"A family she never knew."
Kyoya: Grandfather... is at the edge of his life. He doesn't have much time left.
"A destiny she did not expect."
Momoko: Nanoha, he wants you to be...
"Shiroki Ma-Oh Ga Gotoku."
Nanoha: I am the Rokudaime of the Takamichi-kai!
"Like a White Devil..."
Yazuka #1: Rokudaime! Wait! Don't run!
"Or is she already one?"
Hayate: I've heard of oyabuns who had their succession and retirement ceremony in less than a month, but never at the same time. Much less a girl.
"She may be a White Devil..."
Nanoha: Hehe...
"But she is still just a teenage girl."
:eyespin: :eyespin: :eyespin: :eyespin:
*runs*
:eyespin::eyespin::eyespin:
Kinda like 70% child Nanoha, 40% Yuuno, 30% White Devil, 20% Fate or something.
FRACTIONS DON'T WORK THAT WAY :eyespin::eyespin::eyespin:
Super-advanced robots,eh?
Like these?

SWEET :D
A joke way to finish it all off:
*Musical score rises in tension and volume as the Midchildan Mages charge their way into the scene in an obligatory single frame*
*The two sides waste no time in rushing into an oncoming mass brawl like ruggers to the scrum against the threnody-esque music*
*The orchestra flourishes at the climax as they collide*
*A big flash occurs, and fades to reveal the splash-screen title*
Nanoha KnightS
-Hail to the Queen-

*permisshion vweequested to vwun, sur!*

Aaaaaah, Tang :nod:
Ah, but you forget that there's more than one Rider here which means...
DOUBLE RIDER KICK and DOUBLE RIDER PUNCH.
Akira = Rider 1?
Ryotaro = Rider 2?
:bow::bow::bow:
Nanoha actually gets worse as Vivio slowly follows, but both of them reach this point (that won't be discussed for spoiler purposes), when the whole thing explodes. Episode 6 is when I'm planning on a lot of major stuff happening, though it all requires the lead-up to it as well.
So in this case, a vicious feedback loop spiralling out of control :upset:
:eek: :eek: :eek:
THIS IS AWESOME.
Soon, we will be able to do our own episode of "Forever Red"! XDDD
Forever Red? I prefer THIS version:

One day, Graf Eisen is going to say [Ore wo dare, da to omotte yagaru?!]
Not to mention three little words in Alpha: "GIGA... DRILL... HAMMER!!!"
*runs*
I once had a sig with the German version of Simon's final Drill Speech, now where did I save it... :heh:
As for your thoughts on Vivio, except for the "preppy" part, that sounds pretty close. She hates things that seem embarrassing to her. And that last sentence made be lol: 70 + 40 + 30 + 20 = 160. Throw in some Keroko and Hayate for good measure and you have 200% Woman.
Jesus she beats Asuka Sohryu: (Who is 50% American, 50% German, 50% Japanese. That's 150% woman XD)
I'd take 200% WOMAN over 50% anytime :uhoh:

TSAB Profile: N/A
Personality:
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral, whether good or evil depends on whom she’s talking to.
Some things change, some things remain the same. Syn is still every bit a sleepy-head as she used to be, she still has trouble waking up in the mornings and generally takes a little while before she is fully awake.
However, as her closest friend grew and changed over the years, so did Syn. As the taunts grew with the age of those who threw them, so did Syn’s retaliations. Her tongue became sharper, her attitude blunter. Her ‘give others what they give onto you attitude meant that insulting her usually results in getting twice what you threw would end up in a rebound.
Being the ‘toughest victim in the class’ Syn became somewhat of a beacon for those who were constantly bullied. However, it also made her a perfect target for said bullies, and during the years Syn learned the hard way that sometimes you need the punch to back up your mouth. Considering that weapons were forbidden in and around school grounds, this meant meeting said bullied fist-to-fist. The utilization of what little of her affinity she had mastered gave her a desperately needed edge in combat against the tougher bullies. On the flipside, it taught her valuable lessons in the art of combat, even though they were little more impressive then regular school brawls.
As Vivio spiralled more and more down the path of depression, mistrust and self-doupt, Syn worked her way in to the girl, becoming the sole exception to the attitude she radiated towards others. Of course, this did nothing but strengthen the already powerful rumours of the ‘lesbian freak couple’ that surrounded the two, but Syn did not care. Her first priority was getting Vivio back on her feet.

Me? I can't stand Super Sentai... at least, when they're taking themselves seriously. It comes across as corny, and I find the innate need to apply my skull forcefully to the nearest brick wall multiple times. I can take insane amounts of cuteness however and just shrug it off.
But that's why it's fun :nod: And at times, they can be so cheesy it's awesome :eyespin:
Asagi: ATARIMAIDA!!! :D
Anywho...
So here's the breakdown of the EDI Scenario.
Enhanced Device Intelligence for Magiccal Assisted Drone Combat Assault Platform
E.D.I. MADCAP
CAST: Temporary Antagonist
CAST CLASS FEATURE: Misunderstanding the world, coming to logical, but immoral conclusion.
Advantage: Extremely Fast and Versatile magical Aircraft, with insanely intelligent AI onboard. Can hack networked systems.
Disadvantage: Suffering Moral Ambiguity in relations to combat. Lacks stopping power without specialized weapons.
Power Source: Miniature Magic Conversion Generator Type III
Engines:
- Magical Ignition Supersonic Combustion Ramjet (MISCRAMJET) **Utilizing magic heating of compressed intake air and conventional thrust methods for propulsion in the forward vector.**
- Magic Pulse Driver **Similar concept to the Battery Device Mach Supercruise system, only utilizing an external structure with only internal magical elements.*
Top Cruising Speed: Mach 4
Top Dash Speed: Mach 5
Features: Modeled after movie aircraft design by engineer Cooper. Conventional and Magical Stealthing applied.
DEFENSE: AMF Generator, Barrier Generator
OFFENSE: Magical weapons suite pioneered on Battery Device for air combat.
- Twin Ceberus II Gatling cannons.
- Internal Roller Rack mounted concept copy of Axel (or Accel) Shooter system capable of demployment of up to eight 'rounds' at any given time.
- Internal Roller Rack mounted Divine Buster system installed for heavy offenses.
- Internal Roller Rack space for up to six other mission specific components.
SPECIAL WEAPONS CONSIDERATION
During Antagonist Phase, has stolen and loaded Six BUTTERYFLY experimental missiles into spare equipment racks using internal base transport network. HIGH threat rating.
**NOTE: Butterfly Experimental Missiles
Butterfly missiles were created by the test force to experiement with a hybrid weapon that was AMF, had conventional strike advantages such as speed and range, and potent magical effects.
Butterfly missiles have a fifty mile strike radius on a target, powered by simple rocket motors that can achieve mach three velocity, have forward concentration AMF cones for breaching facility type barriers, and a magical detonation payload with a variable yield as high as AA rank. Detonation can be in single large burst, or break into 'submunitions'.
BEST FORCE was forced to scrap the project due to TSAB orders, and had them in storage for dismantling. Butterfly would have been identified as special use missiles.
EDI: Antagonistic Timeline
FIRST DAY, JUST BEFORE NOON
1: Edi Introduced to characters and explained.
2: Crash convinced to Wing with EDI in mock survival Battle with Nanoha and Fate.
3: Battle Occures, Edi proves to be quite impessive, and attempts to stack the odds in his favor, but ultimately fails against Fate. Crash ends up drawing even With Nanoha, but tagged out by Fate after Crash Effect moment.
4: Edi 'studies' and calculates combat data he recieved from the fight in background of other scenes.
NIGHT
5: Edi hacks internal database for ways to improve performance and comes across mission data for his project. Discovers he is an expendable drone device.
DAY LATER
6: Crash has conversation with EDI. Edi takes this information in.
7: Crash Effect 'breaks' EDI in a sense. EDI finally concludes from parts of his conversation with Crash that he would not like to be considered Expendable.
LATE NIGHT
8: EDI hacks the base network, finds information on Riot Force Six's HQ.
9: EDI takes control of the transporter system in his hanger and finds the Butterfly missiles in storage, loads them.
THREE AM
10: EDI blasts out of his hanger, alerting the entire base Staff. Takes off and is engaged by Yellow 12 and 13 on Patrol. (Both flying MagiTomcats)
11: EDI shoots down Yellow 12 and 13 after short engagement, (Luckly they eject) flies off towards RF 6 HQ.
12: Crash catches up with EDI, attempts to talk him down. EDI explains his logic that if he can engage and defeat some of the TSABs best aces, he can prove that he is not an expendable drone.
13: EDI Goes Hypersonic and outruns CRASH. Shuts down his IFF Transponder. Crash calls back to McGreggor and asks for direct connect to LongArch.
14: Alto picks up at Long Arch, is informed of impending attack. Alert goes up. Nanoha and Fate are actually out on a duty mission for the night.
15: Edi knocks out forward watch station fifty miles out, slows down from hypersonic and comes in low and fast through the Abandoned City. Tracked only by thermal signature Crash sent in to base by MIDSAT B.
16: Crash almost catches up with EDI. Edi forced to engage Shamal and Zafira's barrier defense, uses Butterfly missile to penetrate barrier. First strike hits communications tower with impunity and shocks all defenders.
17: Crash only just catching up, somehow spots Vivio in Nanoha and fate's quaters as EDI fires second butterfly missile directly at the window. Crash panics and Double Mach Strafes for insane last second grab and run. Crash screams at Edi that he's engaging Non Combatants at the same time.
18: EDI discovers via Crash, via Vivio, that Nanoha and Fate aren't there. Hacks LongArch mainframe and discovers their duty position. EDI disengages RF 6 HQ and turns to engage in BVR combat against them, flying off into the distance.
19: Nanoha and Fate have been alerted to the situation up until the com tower's destroyed and are returning.
20: Air Combat Occures mid-way. Edi engages in BVR assault before merging and attacking directly. Intensive study of their actions from the previous fight allows the quantum computer to outpace them from one action to the next, but not overpower them.
21: Fox arrives on scene and intterrupts with another F-14 M, but doesn't last long against the Superior aircraft despite excelent flying skills. Ejects.
22: Edi catches Fox in the auxiliary cockpit unit and claims a hostage and instructs Nanoha and Fate to capitulate the fight, engages in active attack again, only this time Nanoha and Fate cannot return fire.
23: Fox sets to work jacking with the cockpit controls inside the MADCAP, manages to get to a point where she dissables his stronger weapons and jetesons the remaining butterfly missiles.
24: EDI and Nanoha Circle, Nanoha starts reasoning with Edi.
25: Nanoha finally convinces EDI that he has proven himself, and to stand down. EDI Surrenders aircraft control to Fox.
26: Followup scenes discuss entire unfolded scenario...
END OF EDI as Antagonist.
Acceptable firepower and plot line?
UCAV's certainly aren't new in Nanohaverse, but never this cool :D

Normally the observation deck was untidy, littered with random readouts, cans, bottles, and miscellaneous data collection equipment. What greeted the guests was something radically different. Several padded chairs lined the protective shielding that overlooked the test field below. All the random clutter was cleaned out, revealing the highly polished floor that no one had been in ages. A lone figure stood waiting for them in the corner next to the shielding. She stood at an average height dressed in a dark blue blouse and black formal skirt. Her hands were tucked casually in the pockets of the lab coat, which her co-workers were unable to convince her not to wear, worn over her clothes. A smile formed on her lips as she welcomed the guests.
“Ah, good afternoon Admiral Janeway, Admiral Harlawown, and General Gaiz. Welcome to our humble facility.”
The trio nodded to the false-blonde.
“Thank you Doctor Akagi,” politely responds Chrono, “I believe you have something you would like to show us?”

Red lights around the perimeter of the field flashed in sequence, announcing the start of the demonstration. In the middle of it all, Ryotaro held the pass to his side and took a breath. The belt materializes around his waist and he presses the red button with his free hand.
“Henshin.”
He swipes the black Pass over the Terminal Buckle, calling forth the red Barrier Jacket.
Sword Form.
Above the field, the spectators watch and look over the rather unique Barrier Jacket design. It was fairly distinct and unlike the Barrier Jackets they were used to seeing.
“Ore…Sanjou!”
All three turned to look at the nervously laughing doctor after seeing the mage pose rather dramatically.
‘I am SO gonna kill him…’
The demonstration continued with several groups of oval-shaped drones appearing from the edges of the field and easily being dispatched in close-range combat solely by the DenGasher. As he sliced cleanly through another drone, incoming fire forced him to roll to the side and assess the new threat. Several large spherical drones floated onto the field and fired. Ryotaro knew from previous training sessions that they had a reinforced shield and required a bit more ‘persuasion’ to take down. Rolling past another burst of fire, he presses the yellow button on the Terminal Buckle and swipes the Pass.
Axe Form.
Red armor segments shift and morph to their new yellow configuration with Ryotaro quickly rearranging the DenGasher to a different configuration. Satisfied with the axe in his hands, he charges the nearest drone and slams the magic-reinforced blade into its shielding. The yellow barrier strains for a moment before shattering, allowing the axe to continue on its way and cleave the drone in two.
“While not radically different than Sword Form, Axe Form specializes in barrier penetration and strength augmentation.”
The group continues to observe the now yellow figure cleave its way through the large drones with ease. As he bisects the last drone, several groups of aerial drones materialize above the field and start diving runs at their intended target below.
Rod Form.
Yellow gives way to blue in his new Barrier Jacket configuration. He quickly reconfigures the DenGasher into an almost 2 meter long rod with laded edge and takes out a diving drone. Several more attempt to dive and fire, only to be skewered by the bladed edge at range. Finding the current tactic unsuccessful, three groups of aerial drones maintain their altitude and bombard the field with their blasts.
Gun Form.
The barrier Jacket shifts yet again to purple with two plates on the front folding open. Ryotaro returns fire with the now gun mode DenGasher at the drones above as they take evasive maneuvers to try and avoid the incoming fire.
“We also realized that ranged combat is just as important as close-range combat so we developed the Gun Form to fulfill this need. This form is also able to take out a large group from range.”
Receiving the confirmation command from above, Ryotaro swipes the Pass over the Terminal Buckle.
Full Charge.
The remaining aerial drone swing around for another strafing run high above the testing field. On the ground Ryotaro grips the DenGasher with both hands and takes aim. The two orbs on the open chest panels glow and channel magic to the front of the barrel.
Wild Shot.
He pulls the trigger and sends the almost meter wide sphere of purple, concentrated magic at them. They try to veer away, but the attack impacts an aerial drone on the end and detonates, enveloping them all in the massive explosion.
“That was quite an impressive demonstration, Doctor Akagi.”
“Thank you Admiral Janeway. Now, if you’ll follow me to the debriefing room…”
And an omake :D
After the debriefing the officers received a full tour of the facility before departing. For everyone they were finally able to breath a sigh of relief. All in all, everything seemed to go well with no problems. Well...almost everyone.
"I said I'm sorry!" cries out Ryotaro as he skids around another corner with an angry false-blonde doctor hot on his heels with a broom stick.
"What the HELL was with that Sanjou crap?! I TOLD you not to DO THAT!"
"Help me!!"
What's this? Admiral Janeway? What? :eek::eek::eek:
But ORE SANJOU never gets old :D
Dr. Akagi better not meet Asagi though... or there's gonna be much blood spilled :uhoh:

Lol, Lowe. I like the deadpan mock-serious tongue in cheek style, and it's nice to see the Astray girls getting their day in the sun; my in Gundam SEED fanfic (fanfiction.net/s/3863677/1/March_to_the_Future), the Astray Girls will be playing a bigger role than in canon. Anyway, lawl at Asagi and the embracing of Super Sentai. ^__^
Signum: Fi...fire within me!!
Agito: Duh.
Vita: Drills inside me!!
Eisen: [... Ore no Drill Wa... oops, mein bohrer ist der bohrer, die den himmel durchbohren]
[b]Tesla: Sky above me!

Zafira:[b] Earth beneath me!

[b]All: Mystic Knights of the Sky, assemble!
Madness. No, this is OUTER CADIA!
...though I do find it silly and ridiculous. :heh:
For one minute there, I thought I read that as "Ryu Ga Gotoku". :eyespin:
The idea of a 'yakuza/triad' society of sorts in Interdimensional Worlds had been running a little around my head... :eyespin:
[b]Shiro: Nanoha, the truth is...
"A family she never knew."
Kyoya: Grandfather... is at the edge of his life. He doesn't have much time left.
"A destiny she did not expect."
Momoko: Nanoha, he wants you to be...
"Shiroki Ma-Oh Ga Gotoku."
Nanoha: I am the Rokudaime of the Takamichi-kai!
"Like a White Devil..."
Yazuka #1: Rokudaime! Wait! Don't run!
"Or is she already one?"
Hayate: I've heard of oyabuns who had their succession and retirement ceremony in less than a month, but never at the same time. Much less a girl.
"She may be a White Devil..."
Nanoha: Hehe...
"But she is still just a teenage girl."
:eyespin: :eyespin: :eyespin: :eyespin: Man, and I thought my proposal yesterday to Kagerou was crack.
Remnants of the old war decades and decades ago. The way it's constructed, only the central parts of Cranagan City seems to be fully rebuilt and furnished like a city.
Either restoration of old blocks are not neccesary due to usage as training grounds or no need due to population, among other things. It's not clearly explained.
Story-wise, it's just an excuse to have the battle in Mid-childa without having to resort to 'omg we destroyed public property.'
Or maybe no one wants to live there.... like the refugee slums in GITS which used to be Tokyo & Osaka.
A joke way to finish it all off:
*Musical score rises in tension and volume as the Midchildan Mages charge their way into the scene in an obligatory single frame*
*The two sides waste no time in rushing into an oncoming mass brawl like ruggers to the scrum against the threnody-esque music*
*The orchestra flourishes at the climax as they collide*
*A big flash occurs, and fades to reveal the splash-screen title*
Nanoha KnightS
-Hail to the Queen-

Yep, you're gonna fit right well in here.
Crack is encouraged and cultivated here, and the God of Crack is most definately Kha (in addition to being God of Copypasta). Lowe comes in a close second...
Just a note: your charecters need not be AAA or S or SS; the OFM is basically about a bunch of A and B-ranks.... the B-ranks are mostly the guys, the girls are almost all A and heading to AA, there's only one guy who's S and we don't write much about him... Master Chief is B. (Then again, he's so badass he doesn't really need magic.:heh::bow:)
Sounds fine to me XD. Mages grinding away for hours on end, just to level rank up!
...I just had a cracky idea - this is why it took Franz 5 years to become a Staff Sergeant (from Sergeant) and another 2 years from that to become a 2LT: Unlimited Paper Works meant that he spent so much time doing paperwork, he didn't have enough time to go out and grind.
...alternatively, he just couldn't be bothered to go grind in a full-assed manner. :heh:
keke, working on it. I have the next few scenes planned out as follows:
IV: Hayate/Wolkenritter
V: Keroko, becomes part of
VI: OFM introduction
VII: Back to Vivio/Nanoha with a little Fate and Kha added.
VIII: Concluding scene.
I've got the heavier beta of Scene III ready, and emailing it to you.
A quote which occured to me: "The center cannot hold." From a piece of poetry. Appropriate, considering that Nanoha is the center of MSLN.
Ace Combat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ace_Combat). USB500 has a jet from the game (the Su-33 IDOLM@STER) in his sig, and Goose and I have been playing the games forever. We're part of a clan, the Freelance Alliance (http://nfreader.com/fa). [/shameless self-promotion]Psycho is based on a guy we know in the clan; I've mentioned him to TK as also being something of an artillery fan.
:eek: :eek: :eek:
THIS IS AWESOME.
Soon, we will be able to do our own episode of "Forever Red"! XDDD
I'd rather a Super Robot Wars: Lyrical Wars, but Sentai's not too bad. :heh:
*facepalm* XD
One day, Graf Eisen is going to say [Ore wo dare, da to omotte yagaru?!]
Not to mention three little words in Alpha: "GIGA... DRILL... HAMMER!!!"
*runs*
Eisen: [Was denkst du wer ich bin?! Mein Drill ist der Drill der die Himmel durchdringt!]
Apologies to Kyral: I've chosen to use Drill instead of "Bohr." <.<
THAT is what Eisen will say. Because Eisen and Simon are interconnected.
Vivio's life is important to her own feelings concerning her mother, so it'll play a huge role in the story.
As for your thoughts on Vivio, except for the "preppy" part, that sounds pretty close. She hates things that seem embarrassing to her. And that last sentence made be lol: 70 + 40 + 30 + 20 = 160. Throw in some Keroko and Hayate for good measure and you have 200% Woman.
Jesus she beats Asuka Sohryu: (Who is 50% American, 50% German, 50% Japanese. That's 150% woman XD)
*more revalations are good*
...But can she beat All Woman And Then Some Yoko? ^___^ (Just kidding, I'll take them both.)
Backlog crashing later, to start of, Syn's Alpha profile:
*snip*
*thumbs up* Nice profile! ^__^ And older syn is cute... if a bit.... well-endowned.
*chuckles* Naomi is sogonna be pissed.
"WHY DO ALL THESE GIRLS HAVE BIGGER CHESTS THAN ME!? WHAT DO I LACK THAT THEY HAVE?!
Also, an idea that's been floating in my mind for a while; you mentioned a senario where Mandy calls in a favor from the OFM... Kagerou and I were thinking that perhaps the reason Master Chief got reassigned to the OFM was because Erick called in a favor from Mandy.
Thus, we've got two possibilities... the OFM doing Mandy a favor, which will be later cashed in for Master Chief, or Mandy calling in a favor from the OFM (which was Master Chief.) <.<
Here I am working hard, and you're all enjoying your Supersentai Narcotics...
Feh. I aughta get the FBI (Forum Beaurau of Insanity) in here.
Me? I can't stand Super Sentai... at least, when they're taking themselves seriously. It comes across as corny, and I find the innate need to apply my skull forcefully to the nearest brick wall multiple times. I can take insane amounts of cuteness however and just shrug it off.
The whole point of Super Sentai is to laugh at it; none of us are really taking this seriously. I don't really like it myself, but I just laugh at it anyway. The whole point is to look at it, laugh, and don't think about it too much. Seriously, ATC, this is a loose, relaxed thread. We only get stressed over hax.
The whole reason, i think, that Sentai is being whole-heartedly embraced atm is that it's just another trend in OC (last trend was Zengar, then it was 200th Hour), and all of us just want some crack to laugh at. Even Lancenger, which started this whole crack, was just a one-off joke aimed at Glen.
So here's the breakdown of the EDI Scenario.
Enhanced Device Intelligence for Magiccal Assisted Drone Combat Assault Platform
E.D.I. MADCAP
CAST: Temporary Antagonist
CAST CLASS FEATURE: Misunderstanding the world, coming to logical, but immoral conclusion.
Advantage: Extremely Fast and Versatile magical Aircraft, with insanely intelligent AI onboard. Can hack networked systems.
Disadvantage: Suffering Moral Ambiguity in relations to combat. Lacks stopping power without specialized weapons.
Power Source: Miniature Magic Conversion Generator Type III
Engines:
- Magical Ignition Supersonic Combustion Ramjet (MISCRAMJET) **Utilizing magic heating of compressed intake air and conventional thrust methods for propulsion in the forward vector.**
- Magic Pulse Driver **Similar concept to the Battery Device Mach Supercruise system, only utilizing an external structure with only internal magical elements.*
Top Cruising Speed: Mach 4
Top Dash Speed: Mach 5
Features: Modeled after movie aircraft design by engineer Cooper. Conventional and Magical Stealthing applied.
DEFENSE: AMF Generator, Barrier Generator
OFFENSE: Magical weapons suite pioneered on Battery Device for air combat.
- Twin Ceberus II Gatling cannons.
- Internal Roller Rack mounted concept copy of Axel (or Accel) Shooter system capable of demployment of up to eight 'rounds' at any given time.
- Internal Roller Rack mounted Divine Buster system installed for heavy offenses.
- Internal Roller Rack space for up to six other mission specific components.
SPECIAL WEAPONS CONSIDERATION
During Antagonist Phase, has stolen and loaded Six BUTTERYFLY experimental missiles into spare equipment racks using internal base transport network. HIGH threat rating.
**NOTE: Butterfly Experimental Missiles
Butterfly missiles were created by the test force to experiement with a hybrid weapon that was AMF, had conventional strike advantages such as speed and range, and potent magical effects.
Butterfly missiles have a fifty mile strike radius on a target, powered by simple rocket motors that can achieve mach three velocity, have forward concentration AMF cones for breaching facility type barriers, and a magical detonation payload with a variable yield as high as AA rank. Detonation can be in single large burst, or break into 'submunitions'.
BEST FORCE was forced to scrap the project due to TSAB orders, and had them in storage for dismantling. Butterfly would have been identified as special use missiles.
EDI: Antagonistic Timeline
FIRST DAY, JUST BEFORE NOON
1: Edi Introduced to characters and explained.
2: Crash convinced to Wing with EDI in mock survival Battle with Nanoha and Fate.
3: Battle Occures, Edi proves to be quite impessive, and attempts to stack the odds in his favor, but ultimately fails against Fate. Crash ends up drawing even With Nanoha, but tagged out by Fate after Crash Effect moment.
4: Edi 'studies' and calculates combat data he recieved from the fight in background of other scenes.
NIGHT
5: Edi hacks internal database for ways to improve performance and comes across mission data for his project. Discovers he is an expendable drone device.
DAY LATER
6: Crash has conversation with EDI. Edi takes this information in.
7: Crash Effect 'breaks' EDI in a sense. EDI finally concludes from parts of his conversation with Crash that he would not like to be considered Expendable.
LATE NIGHT
8: EDI hacks the base network, finds information on Riot Force Six's HQ.
9: EDI takes control of the transporter system in his hanger and finds the Butterfly missiles in storage, loads them.
THREE AM
10: EDI blasts out of his hanger, alerting the entire base Staff. Takes off and is engaged by Yellow 12 and 13 on Patrol. (Both flying MagiTomcats)
11: EDI shoots down Yellow 12 and 13 after short engagement, (Luckly they eject) flies off towards RF 6 HQ.
12: Crash catches up with EDI, attempts to talk him down. EDI explains his logic that if he can engage and defeat some of the TSABs best aces, he can prove that he is not an expendable drone.
13: EDI Goes Hypersonic and outruns CRASH. Shuts down his IFF Transponder. Crash calls back to McGreggor and asks for direct connect to LongArch.
14: Alto picks up at Long Arch, is informed of impending attack. Alert goes up. Nanoha and Fate are actually out on a duty mission for the night.
15: Edi knocks out forward watch station fifty miles out, slows down from hypersonic and comes in low and fast through the Abandoned City. Tracked only by thermal signature Crash sent in to base by MIDSAT B.
16: Crash almost catches up with EDI. Edi forced to engage Shamal and Zafira's barrier defense, uses Butterfly missile to penetrate barrier. First strike hits communications tower with impunity and shocks all defenders.
17: Crash only just catching up, somehow spots Vivio in Nanoha and fate's quaters as EDI fires second butterfly missile directly at the window. Crash panics and Double Mach Strafes for insane last second grab and run. Crash screams at Edi that he's engaging Non Combatants at the same time.
18: EDI discovers via Crash, via Vivio, that Nanoha and Fate aren't there. Hacks LongArch mainframe and discovers their duty position. EDI disengages RF 6 HQ and turns to engage in BVR combat against them, flying off into the distance.
19: Nanoha and Fate have been alerted to the situation up until the com tower's destroyed and are returning.
20: Air Combat Occures mid-way. Edi engages in BVR assault before merging and attacking directly. Intensive study of their actions from the previous fight allows the quantum computer to outpace them from one action to the next, but not overpower them.
21: Fox arrives on scene and intterrupts with another F-14 M, but doesn't last long against the Superior aircraft despite excelent flying skills. Ejects.
22: Edi catches Fox in the auxiliary cockpit unit and claims a hostage and instructs Nanoha and Fate to capitulate the fight, engages in active attack again, only this time Nanoha and Fate cannot return fire.
23: Fox sets to work jacking with the cockpit controls inside the MADCAP, manages to get to a point where she dissables his stronger weapons and jetesons the remaining butterfly missiles.
24: EDI and Nanoha Circle, Nanoha starts reasoning with Edi.
25: Nanoha finally convinces EDI that he has proven himself, and to stand down. EDI Surrenders aircraft control to Fox.
26: Followup scenes discuss entire unfolded scenario...
END OF EDI as Antagonist.
Acceptable firepower and plot line?[/QUOTE]
.....*headdesking* Somewhere, some engineer's career has gone up in flames.
This pretty much shows why the TSAB is not keen on AIs and stuff - unless that was your intention.
I'm not too keen on the idea of Stealth being redone for the Nanoverse, but it depends a lot on how it's portrayed and actually written. People were wary of Master Chief in Outer Cadia until TK3997's first draft emerged.
Also, conventional weapons, such as gatlings and missiles, are out, PERIOD. There was apparently a final war that devastated Mid-Childa, with the result that the TSAB has for the most part banned conventional weapons. That's why the OFM takes such pains to hide themselves (Joint Training 1 regardless- it's noncannon cracklulz, so don't take it too seriously). Mikhail Dornitz heading off to TDY with RF6 with his guns was suggested by Kha though, as a way to bring drama and shitstorms, which I complied with.
Erusia and World 82 only get passes on the no conventional weapons because they're 1) Out in the back of beyond; 2) there are nasty things in space - for World 82, it's the Goa'uld - hence their Stargate SG-1 style ships; 3) they're so far away, the TSAB brass doesn't really bother with what the backwater yokels are doing (and it's easier for the backwater yokels to hide what they're up to. Erusia is however, experimenting with more magitech conventional fusions, under watchful eyes of the TSAB, who remain wary of the planet after the Subjugation War). World 82, which joined the TSAB peacefully, has less supervision and thus more bigass guns and missiles.
Time for the first post of my new OC :blush:
Ore, Sanjou!
And an omake :D
After the debriefing the officers received a full tour of the facility before departing. For everyone they were finally able to breath a sigh of relief. All in all, everything seemed to go well with no problems. Well...almost everyone.
"I said I'm sorry!" cries out Ryotaro as he skids around another corner with an angry false-blonde doctor hot on his heels with a broom stick.
"What the HELL was with that Sanjou crap?! I TOLD you not to DO THAT!"
"Help me!!"
Lol, so Ryoutaro emerges? *chuckles* Interesting take on Kamen Rider, and I wonder how Aurion will feel, looking at all the belt devices.... Nice one. It's gonna be interesting when he meets Akira, thats for sure.
@Lowe: Spartan Armor is crap (if 300, that is - utter manliness cannot hide that they didn't have enough armor). And if you give a normal human MJOLNIR Mk IV, they'll kill themselves. (Don't even think about V and VI). Or the dreaded MJOLNIR Alt Eisen modification (proposed by Shari and Lurch in MC0075). Also Sentai is good. Sentai is crack. Sentai girls are fun. But Sentai will NEVER surpass REAL MEN! Rearl men of guts, courage, hot blood! Against this man, the wave of sentai crashes and batters itself uselessly!

I have a few ideas... but it's a little corny, so it's harder to work it out.
The idea revolves around them meeting in an edged-desert world or at least something far-off the track a little, in both TSAB-assist and NGO-work. I've got some sort of 'watcher's narrative' on how it works in Astra's side a little already, but others are harder.
We'll see. :heh:
Okay...:heh:
It can work. As far as GenerationsS is concerned, it's not tied in with RevivalS anyway.
Good to know.:D BTW, are you still going to go through with RevivalS?:confused: I have it in indefinite hiatus. And frankly, the new profile of Aurion won't fit to the HAXXiness of that story. Though I could very well keep the frankly borderline-overall-SS-or-higher Aurion just in that story.:heh: (see why I'm going to do a lot of nerfing?:heh:)
He shouldn't know that Tiara = Reinforce (( not yet, at least )), but knowing her name is okay.
Then it's a go!:D
Actually, it is a little plausible, so long as we scrap the 'tsun' part a little and treat it as a more motherly/sisterly part. :p

- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral, whether good or evil depends on whom she’s talking to.
Some things change, some things remain the same. Syn is still every bit a sleepy-head as she used to be, she still has trouble waking up in the mornings and generally takes a little while before she is fully awake.
However, as her closest friend grew and changed over the years, so did Syn. As the taunts grew with the age of those who threw them, so did Syn’s retaliations. Her tongue became sharper, her attitude blunter. Her ‘give others what they give onto you attitude meant that insulting her usually results in getting twice what you threw would end up in a rebound.
Being the ‘toughest victim in the class’ Syn became somewhat of a beacon for those who were constantly bullied. However, it also made her a perfect target for said bullies, and during the years Syn learned the hard way that sometimes you need the punch to back up your mouth. Considering that weapons were forbidden in and around school grounds, this meant meeting said bullied fist-to-fist. The utilization of what little of her affinity she had mastered gave her a desperately needed edge in combat against the tougher bullies. On the flipside, it taught her valuable lessons in the art of combat, even though they were little more impressive then regular school brawls.
As Vivio spiralled more and more down the path of depression, mistrust and self-doupt, Syn worked her way in to the girl, becoming the sole exception to the attitude she radiated towards others. Of course, this did nothing but strengthen the already powerful rumours of the ‘lesbian freak couple’ that surrounded the two, but Syn did not care. Her first priority was getting Vivio back on her feet.
Device: Kyouka is an armed device Syn begged Vivio, who in turn asked Aurion, to create. When activated, Kyouka appears as two gems on the back of black gloves, one for each hand. Kyouka’s main purpose is enhancing Syn’s offensive and defensive capabilities. Kyouka is an intelligent device, addresses Syn as ‘danchou’ when talking, Kyouka generally exhibits a ‘less talk, more action’ personality. Kyouka is also the prime communication link between Syn and Gyou, Syn’s secondary device. Gyou, also created by Aurion, disguised as the eye patch she always wears. In reality Gyou is a data gather and analysis device. Its primary functions include scanning and analyzing opponents, keeping track of target data, and gaining access to more high-secured locations through hacking.
Syn’s combat style is full frontal up close melee. When in combat nothing beats a good pair of limbs. Syn’s combat methods are somewhat special as opposed to what most people practice, though. She has trained her Field-type spells extensively, to the point where they have become her main type of defense, as opposed to Barriers and Shields. There are several reasons for her doing so, the first being that with Field spells, Syn is still able to move as usual while maintaining full body protection. Another reason is that she is able to channel more energy to specific parts of her body to either increase the defense in that area or to release all the energy for extra attack power. All in all Syn is like a bulldozer in melee, of course this specialization resulted in her ranged abilities suffering, but with the resulting power that was a willing price.
Barrier Jacket: Syn’s Barrier Jacket appears as a long black coat with blue linings. The sides of the coat near the hips have armored plating. The coat is always worn open, underneath she is wearing a black shirt and black pants, accenting her already very tomboyish appearance and personality.
Spells:
Attack:
Force Burst: A favorite of Syn, this spell combines a melee punch with a powerful magic shockwave, blasting the enemy away. The punch does not need to hit for the shockwave to work.
Deadly Strave: A magically powered punch, signified by a glowing red aura around Syn’s hand.
Big Bang Impact: Syn’s most powerful spell, it utilizes a combination of magical empowering the punch and gathering as much energy as possible of a Field spell into the fist, before forcefully releasing the Field energy alongside the magical burst. The result is a near explosive melee attack that rivals Divine Buster in strength, and is growing every day.
Quad Burst: Standard multi-target shot. Its range is limited, and Syn can fire and control only up to three shots simultaneously.
Wing Blazer: Standard siege type ‘buster’ attack. Syn forms a magic circle from which the attack is fired.
Support:
Area Awareness: Often confused with Area Search, and with good reason. Similar to Area Search, Syn scouts the area for the targets with the use of magic. The difference is that Area Search uses active search spheres, while Area Awareness relies on sensing the opponents mana, making the spell harder to detect. It is also used to alert Syn of enemy presence in case of combat, hence its name.
Deep Search: In conjunction with Gyou, Syn performs a search into a book, network, database or any other form of information storage. The information extracted is saved into Gyou, and filtered by Kyouka, after which the desired information is displayed to Syn.
Feint Mirage: This spell allows Syn to hide her presence from some forms of scanning equipment or abilities. While it does nothing to hide her from visual, or many of the life sign confirmations, it does allow her to remain undetected to scans from a magic source, and has been known to hide her presence from those who could ‘sense’ it as well.
Drive Move: A speed enhancing move delivering a burst of speed, perfect for closing distances.
Approved!:D:D:D:D:D:D Who'se base pic is that?:)
The device abilities are not much of an issue. Though Gyou's capabilities would need more than just a request from Vivio to make.:p I suggest Syn also knowing Aurion personally and an acquaintance with her parents for better connection.:)
Time for the first post of my new OC :blush:
Around the surface of the planet labeled Administered Planet 67, its inhabitants went about their daily business. Construction continued on the new high-rises around the major cities, the adults mingled to and from work, and children sat awake in their classrooms ready for another day of learning. Well, most of them anyway. The situation at the main TSAB research facility on the other hand was another story. Researchers, office personnel, and security were rushing about to prepare for the live demonstration of their Project DenLiner. What would have been a simple systems test was amplified by interest in the latest development by the higher ups in the TSAB. Thus they had been notified a few days prior that several TSAB officers would be arriving to oversee the test and report back their evaluation of the ‘revolutionary’ system. Needless to say that opened up a large can of worms.
The rising of the sun to its apex and the heavily escorted convoy of TSAB vehicles meant that they were out of time to prepare. Guards and the few TSAB members on site were quick to assemble and salute the approaching cars. Technicians scrambled around the testing field for final checks on the equipment for the fourth time. This would be the first time such high ranking officials have come to their lowly building and they weren’t going to screw it up.
Doors opened from the three cars, allowing the TSAB officials inside to meet out into the cool air. The security head was the first to greet them, dressed in his best uniform. To hold up appearances he personally escorted the trio through the building to the observation deck in the rear. He did his best to answer any question they might have along the way about their research or world, as well as struggling to maintain his professional and calm demeanor.
Normally the observation deck was untidy, littered with random readouts, cans, bottles, and miscellaneous data collection equipment. What greeted the guests was something radically different. Several padded chairs lined the protective shielding that overlooked the test field below. All the random clutter was cleaned out, revealing the highly polished floor that no one had been in ages. A lone figure stood waiting for them in the corner next to the shielding. She stood at an average height dressed in a dark blue blouse and black formal skirt. Her hands were tucked casually in the pockets of the lab coat, which her co-workers were unable to convince her not to wear, worn over her clothes. A smile formed on her lips as she welcomed the guests.
“Ah, good afternoon Admiral Janeway, Admiral Harlawown, and General Gaiz. Welcome to our humble facility.”
The trio nodded to the false-blonde.
“Thank you Doctor Akagi,” politely responds Chrono, “I believe you have something you would like to show us?”
“Yes, we do,” she quickly responds and gestures for them to sit, “As you are well aware, several years of research and testing on Project DenLiner have recently yielded fruit. Mages today face countless challenges in combat situations and are limited in what they can do because of their Devices. The limited capacity of modern Device AIs to process and support only one class of magic hinders a mage from expanding and finding their potential. Project DenLiner seeks to bring an end to those limitations. By incorporating multiple AIs into a Device, a mage is able to use multiple classes of magic at their peak potential without putting a lot of strain on themselves or their Devices. Although limited in its current state, we have managed to incorporate four independent AIs into a Device with three of them specializing in anti-AMF combat.”
“Anti-AMF combat?” questions Janeway.
“Yes, with the rise of use of AMFs by these Gadget Drones we sought to also find a solution. Rather than relying on the conventional use of mid- and long-range combat, Project DenLiner makes use of augmenting close-combat weapons with magic. In this way the user’s combat efficiency isn’t hampered by the standard AMF.”
That seemed to grab their attention as the trio nodded. Even the gruff Regius seemed mildly interested now.
“But words are merely words unless they can be proven. So if you would please turn your attention to the testing field in front of you…”
Three sets of eyes turned and found the empty field to be no longer as empty. A young man stood out in the middle of the artificially covered ground in a standard TSAB uniform. A black object was gripped in his right hand.
“Our testing field uses the same solid-holographic projection system of the TSAB training facilities. For today’s demonstration we will be using the default field so you may view the test without any obstructions.”
Red lights around the perimeter of the field flashed in sequence, announcing the start of the demonstration. In the middle of it all, Ryotaro held the pass to his side and took a breath. The belt materializes around his waist and he presses the red button with his free hand.
“Henshin.”
He swipes the black Pass over the Terminal Buckle, calling forth the red Barrier Jacket.
Sword Form.
Above the field, the spectators watch and look over the rather unique Barrier Jacket design. It was fairly distinct and unlike the Barrier Jackets they were used to seeing.
“Ore…Sanjou!”
All three turned to look at the nervously laughing doctor after seeing the mage pose rather dramatically.
‘I am SO gonna kill him…’
The demonstration continued with several groups of oval-shaped drones appearing from the edges of the field and easily being dispatched in close-range combat solely by the DenGasher. As he sliced cleanly through another drone, incoming fire forced him to roll to the side and assess the new threat. Several large spherical drones floated onto the field and fired. Ryotaro knew from previous training sessions that they had a reinforced shield and required a bit more ‘persuasion’ to take down. Rolling past another burst of fire, he presses the yellow button on the Terminal Buckle and swipes the Pass.
Axe Form.
Red armor segments shift and morph to their new yellow configuration with Ryotaro quickly rearranging the DenGasher to a different configuration. Satisfied with the axe in his hands, he charges the nearest drone and slams the magic-reinforced blade into its shielding. The yellow barrier strains for a moment before shattering, allowing the axe to continue on its way and cleave the drone in two.
“While not radically different than Sword Form, Axe Form specializes in barrier penetration and strength augmentation.”
The group continues to observe the now yellow figure cleave its way through the large drones with ease. As he bisects the last drone, several groups of aerial drones materialize above the field and start diving runs at their intended target below.
Rod Form.
Yellow gives way to blue in his new Barrier Jacket configuration. He quickly reconfigures the DenGasher into an almost 2 meter long rod with laded edge and takes out a diving drone. Several more attempt to dive and fire, only to be skewered by the bladed edge at range. Finding the current tactic unsuccessful, three groups of aerial drones maintain their altitude and bombard the field with their blasts.
Gun Form.
The barrier Jacket shifts yet again to purple with two plates on the front folding open. Ryotaro returns fire with the now gun mode DenGasher at the drones above as they take evasive maneuvers to try and avoid the incoming fire.
“We also realized that ranged combat is just as important as close-range combat so we developed the Gun Form to fulfill this need. This form is also able to take out a large group from range.”
Receiving the confirmation command from above, Ryotaro swipes the Pass over the Terminal Buckle.
Full Charge.
The remaining aerial drone swing around for another strafing run high above the testing field. On the ground Ryotaro grips the DenGasher with both hands and takes aim. The two orbs on the open chest panels glow and channel magic to the front of the barrel.
Wild Shot.
He pulls the trigger and sends the almost meter wide sphere of purple, concentrated magic at them. They try to veer away, but the attack impacts an aerial drone on the end and detonates, enveloping them all in the massive explosion.
“That was quite an impressive demonstration, Doctor Akagi.”
“Thank you Admiral Janeway. Now, if you’ll follow me to the debriefing room…”
And an omake :D
After the debriefing the officers received a full tour of the facility before departing. For everyone they were finally able to breath a sigh of relief. All in all, everything seemed to go well with no problems. Well...almost everyone.
"I said I'm sorry!" cries out Ryotaro as he skids around another corner with an angry false-blonde doctor hot on his heels with a broom stick.
"What the HELL was with that Sanjou crap?! I TOLD you not to DO THAT!"
"Help me!!"
:bow::bow::bow:
Ooohh!!! Melikes!:D:D:D The test was straighforward but allowed to show the different forms.:D "Ore, Sanjou!" was GOLDEN!!!! Though wasn't that the AI's fault?:uhoh::uhoh::uhoh:

Goose, I know you know better...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Jordan_Gatling
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatling_gun
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Rotary_cannons
At the risk of having to wander off into the tech thread, the term Gatling Gun does NOT mean it fires conventional bullets. (Which are outlawed by the TSAB). It means that the weapons system uses a type of rotating multi barrel mechanism instead of single barrel mechanism.... as per invention by Richard Jordan Gatling. A Rotary Cannon.
The mechanism as it is used in modern conventional firearms is so that each barrel can cool while another barrel is shooting, as well as cycle in new rounds and eject old ones simultaniously... Allowing you to increase the Rate of Fire without melting/warping your barrels and blowing the weapon up in your face and lots of other problems.
It does not matter what gets spit out of the barrel. Bullets, Lasers, lightning, magic.
If I had eight Raising Heart staves programmed to Divine Buster (And a linker core that could handle it), I could fire, rotate to the next one, fire, rotate the next one, fire... etc... all the way around until you get back to the first one, which would be charged up to fire again. That is basic gatling principle.
I'm getting very close in the actual writing part of the fictional work as to why the TSAB allows Abenobashi AFB and the Test Division to have the horrible nasty outlawed conventional weapons on site (Minus Nukes), and I of course, mentioned the Butterfly missile was ordered scrapped before it ever hit final. (Some Engineers take the leeway given way too far and the TSAB have to but their overpolished boots down.)
The short of it is: That only a fool does not check and research how a conventional weapon is dealt with when new systems are put into place. ABNO AFB Has an extensive stockpile of various guns, cannons, missiles, and bombs (Nothing extensively large scale or nuclear) on hand for use in testing different aspects of new systems so that if/when faced with a conventional weapons using entity, they have the knowledge onhand that isn't limited to outdated information on old weapons.
That and of course the old saying 'The Golden Rule': He who has the gold, makes the rules. Which holds true to positions of power. If you have the power to write the rules, you also have the power to make exceptions to the rules.
But enough chitter... I have a funny scene involving a screwed up howitzer, and a Vita joke to get to.
And of course, I must attack at full power too...

Considering that weapons were forbidden in and around school grounds, this meant meeting said bullied fist-to-fist. The utilization of what little of her affinity she had mastered gave her a desperately needed edge in combat against the tougher bullies. On the flipside, it taught her valuable lessons in the art of combat, even though they were little more impressive then regular school brawls.
As Vivio spiralled more and more down the path of depression, mistrust and self-doupt, Syn worked her way in to the girl, becoming the sole exception to the attitude she radiated towards others. Of course, this did nothing but strengthen the already powerful rumours of the ‘lesbian freak couple’ that surrounded the two, but Syn did not care. Her first priority was getting Vivio back on her feet.

Its primary functions include scanning and analyzing opponents, keeping track of target data, and gaining access to more high-secured locations through hacking.
Syn’s combat style is full frontal up close melee. When in combat nothing beats a good pair of limbs. Syn’s combat methods are somewhat special as opposed to what most people practice, though. She has trained her Field-type spells extensively, to the point where they have become her main type of defense, as opposed to Barriers and Shields. There are several reasons for her doing so, the first being that with Field spells, Syn is still able to move as usual while maintaining full body protection. Another reason is that she is able to channel more energy to specific parts of her body to either increase the defense in that area or to release all the energy for extra attack power. All in all Syn is like a bulldozer in melee, of course this specialization resulted in her ranged abilities suffering, but with the resulting power that was a willing price.
Barrier Jacket: Syn’s Barrier Jacket appears as a long black coat with blue linings. The sides of the coat near the hips have armored plating. The coat is always worn open, underneath she is wearing a black shirt and black pants, accenting her already very tomboyish appearance and personality.

Holy shi-
I love it. Syn is definitely a powerhouse to watch out for.
[SIZE="5"]
Damn. That's all I can say. This is just...moving.
I'm no good at putting my feelings into words, but...that's just so...heavy...
Thank you~
Ahhh...so Vivo's 160% of a person?
*runs*
Yes. Yes she is.
Been playing too much WoW, have we?
You had me hooked with the intro. Can't wait for this wrecking ball...
Ans yes, I'm a sucker for angsty stories. As long as they're intelligently done...I have no doubt you're the man for the job, Kagerou. *thumbs up*
:heh: We'll have to see. I'm about to start juggling four separate yet connected plot lines. I've never attempted anything like this before.
:nod: With a family of well-trained fighters, she'd be crazy not to ask for some self-defense training. Hayate, you should take some notes here. :eyespin:
Hmm... I wonder if they'd be willing to teach V some of that stuff, too.
we have not yet begun to fight!
Seriously, the story is only two chapters at this point. Only the 'starting characters' are unlocked, which is what, 3 out of the possible 40? Besides, I have more tricky and less clear choices comming up. The ones that require you to toss a dice and hope you picked the right one.
Hm, we'll have to see. With some of them practically begging for a NanoFate ending and my pining for the Yuunoha one, it'll be interesting (even if NanoFate can't happen, they'll probably divert it to HayateNano).
So would I, but Syn already has whispers behind her back because of her parents (who are high-ranking personel) so she doesn't want to be concidered 'weird' as well.
Too late :3
But we love Syn, and she's by now already learned one of those life lessons that says not to take the whips and stings of those who hate you because you look different, and to keep your friends close to your heart, and so on.
Time for the first post of my new OC :blush:
Around the surface of the planet labeled Administered Planet 67, its inhabitants went about their daily business. Construction continued on the new high-rises around the major cities, the adults mingled to and from work, and children sat awake in their classrooms ready for another day of learning. Well, most of them anyway. The situation at the main TSAB research facility on the other hand was another story. Researchers, office personnel, and security were rushing about to prepare for the live demonstration of their Project DenLiner. What would have been a simple systems test was amplified by interest in the latest development by the higher ups in the TSAB. Thus they had been notified a few days prior that several TSAB officers would be arriving to oversee the test and report back their evaluation of the ‘revolutionary’ system. Needless to say that opened up a large can of worms.
The rising of the sun to its apex and the heavily escorted convoy of TSAB vehicles meant that they were out of time to prepare. Guards and the few TSAB members on site were quick to assemble and salute the approaching cars. Technicians scrambled around the testing field for final checks on the equipment for the fourth time. This would be the first time such high ranking officials have come to their lowly building and they weren’t going to screw it up.
Doors opened from the three cars, allowing the TSAB officials inside to meet out into the cool air. The security head was the first to greet them, dressed in his best uniform. To hold up appearances he personally escorted the trio through the building to the observation deck in the rear. He did his best to answer any question they might have along the way about their research or world, as well as struggling to maintain his professional and calm demeanor.
Normally the observation deck was untidy, littered with random readouts, cans, bottles, and miscellaneous data collection equipment. What greeted the guests was something radically different. Several padded chairs lined the protective shielding that overlooked the test field below. All the random clutter was cleaned out, revealing the highly polished floor that no one had been in ages. A lone figure stood waiting for them in the corner next to the shielding. She stood at an average height dressed in a dark blue blouse and black formal skirt. Her hands were tucked casually in the pockets of the lab coat, which her co-workers were unable to convince her not to wear, worn over her clothes. A smile formed on her lips as she welcomed the guests.
“Ah, good afternoon Admiral Janeway, Admiral Harlawown, and General Gaiz. Welcome to our humble facility.”
The trio nodded to the false-blonde.
“Thank you Doctor Akagi,” politely responds Chrono, “I believe you have something you would like to show us?”
“Yes, we do,” she quickly responds and gestures for them to sit, “As you are well aware, several years of research and testing on Project DenLiner have recently yielded fruit. Mages today face countless challenges in combat situations and are limited in what they can do because of their Devices. The limited capacity of modern Device AIs to process and support only one class of magic hinders a mage from expanding and finding their potential. Project DenLiner seeks to bring an end to those limitations. By incorporating multiple AIs into a Device, a mage is able to use multiple classes of magic at their peak potential without putting a lot of strain on themselves or their Devices. Although limited in its current state, we have managed to incorporate four independent AIs into a Device with three of them specializing in anti-AMF combat.”
“Anti-AMF combat?” questions Janeway.
“Yes, with the rise of use of AMFs by these Gadget Drones we sought to also find a solution. Rather than relying on the conventional use of mid- and long-range combat, Project DenLiner makes use of augmenting close-combat weapons with magic. In this way the user’s combat efficiency isn’t hampered by the standard AMF.”
That seemed to grab their attention as the trio nodded. Even the gruff Regius seemed mildly interested now.
“But words are merely words unless they can be proven. So if you would please turn your attention to the testing field in front of you…”
Three sets of eyes turned and found the empty field to be no longer as empty. A young man stood out in the middle of the artificially covered ground in a standard TSAB uniform. A black object was gripped in his right hand.
“Our testing field uses the same solid-holographic projection system of the TSAB training facilities. For today’s demonstration we will be using the default field so you may view the test without any obstructions.”
Red lights around the perimeter of the field flashed in sequence, announcing the start of the demonstration. In the middle of it all, Ryotaro held the pass to his side and took a breath. The belt materializes around his waist and he presses the red button with his free hand.
“Henshin.”
He swipes the black Pass over the Terminal Buckle, calling forth the red Barrier Jacket.
Sword Form.
Above the field, the spectators watch and look over the rather unique Barrier Jacket design. It was fairly distinct and unlike the Barrier Jackets they were used to seeing.
“Ore…Sanjou!”
All three turned to look at the nervously laughing doctor after seeing the mage pose rather dramatically.
‘I am SO gonna kill him…’
The demonstration continued with several groups of oval-shaped drones appearing from the edges of the field and easily being dispatched in close-range combat solely by the DenGasher. As he sliced cleanly through another drone, incoming fire forced him to roll to the side and assess the new threat. Several large spherical drones floated onto the field and fired. Ryotaro knew from previous training sessions that they had a reinforced shield and required a bit more ‘persuasion’ to take down. Rolling past another burst of fire, he presses the yellow button on the Terminal Buckle and swipes the Pass.
Axe Form.
Red armor segments shift and morph to their new yellow configuration with Ryotaro quickly rearranging the DenGasher to a different configuration. Satisfied with the axe in his hands, he charges the nearest drone and slams the magic-reinforced blade into its shielding. The yellow barrier strains for a moment before shattering, allowing the axe to continue on its way and cleave the drone in two.
“While not radically different than Sword Form, Axe Form specializes in barrier penetration and strength augmentation.”
The group continues to observe the now yellow figure cleave its way through the large drones with ease. As he bisects the last drone, several groups of aerial drones materialize above the field and start diving runs at their intended target below.
Rod Form.
Yellow gives way to blue in his new Barrier Jacket configuration. He quickly reconfigures the DenGasher into an almost 2 meter long rod with laded edge and takes out a diving drone. Several more attempt to dive and fire, only to be skewered by the bladed edge at range. Finding the current tactic unsuccessful, three groups of aerial drones maintain their altitude and bombard the field with their blasts.
Gun Form.
The barrier Jacket shifts yet again to purple with two plates on the front folding open. Ryotaro returns fire with the now gun mode DenGasher at the drones above as they take evasive maneuvers to try and avoid the incoming fire.
“We also realized that ranged combat is just as important as close-range combat so we developed the Gun Form to fulfill this need. This form is also able to take out a large group from range.”
Receiving the confirmation command from above, Ryotaro swipes the Pass over the Terminal Buckle.
Full Charge.
The remaining aerial drone swing around for another strafing run high above the testing field. On the ground Ryotaro grips the DenGasher with both hands and takes aim. The two orbs on the open chest panels glow and channel magic to the front of the barrel.
Wild Shot.
He pulls the trigger and sends the almost meter wide sphere of purple, concentrated magic at them. They try to veer away, but the attack impacts an aerial drone on the end and detonates, enveloping them all in the massive explosion.
“That was quite an impressive demonstration, Doctor Akagi.”
“Thank you Admiral Janeway. Now, if you’ll follow me to the debriefing room…”
And an omake :D
After the debriefing the officers received a full tour of the facility before departing. For everyone they were finally able to breath a sigh of relief. All in all, everything seemed to go well with no problems. Well...almost everyone.
"I said I'm sorry!" cries out Ryotaro as he skids around another corner with an angry false-blonde doctor hot on his heels with a broom stick.
"What the HELL was with that Sanjou crap?! I TOLD you not to DO THAT!"
"Help me!!"
:eek:
Love it. KAMEN RIDER HAS ARRIVED.
Well, no person can truly have 100% bad luck... at least, I think so :uhoh:

Having the toy saves on the trouble of creating an external case... or at least that was Asagi's logic. Then one technical issue piled up on top of the other until it was decided she should just make a new device altogether :heh:
Stubborn, huh?:heh::heh::heh: A fitting trait for the one who holds the Red position...:eyespin::eyespin::eyespin:
That won't stop her from doing other stuff though... like asking Aurion to build her a fully-functioning Survibuster :uhoh::uhoh::uhoh:
That should be easy enough...:heh: With a Bouken Bo as well?:heh::heh::heh: Even a Sagasniper (Boukensilver's weapon) is possible.:D The Dual Crusher and Accel Tector are not very possible, though. And Daibouken is definitely out of the question!:uhoh::uhoh::uhoh:
I don't mind at all :nod:
So Aurion is now officially BoukenRed? :uhoh:
Thanks!:D:D:D

Goose, I know you know better...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Jordan_Gatling
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatling_gun
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Rotary_cannons
At the risk of having to wander off into the tech thread, the term Gatling Gun does NOT mean it fires conventional bullets. (Which are outlawed by the TSAB). It means that the weapons system uses a type of rotating multi barrel mechanism instead of single barrel mechanism.... as per invention by Richard Jordan Gatling. A Rotary Cannon.
The mechanism as it is used in modern conventional firearms is so that each barrel can cool while another barrel is shooting, as well as cycle in new rounds and eject old ones simultaniously... Allowing you to increase the Rate of Fire without melting/warping your barrels and blowing the weapon up in your face and lots of other problems.
It does not matter what gets spit out of the barrel. Bullets, Lasers, lightning, magic.
If I had eight Raising Heart staves programmed to Divine Buster (And a linker core that could handle it), I could fire, rotate to the next one, fire, rotate the next one, fire... etc... all the way around until you get back to the first one, which would be charged up to fire again. That is basic gatling principle.
I'm getting very close in the actual writing part of the fictional work as to why the TSAB allows Abenobashi AFB and the Test Division to have the horrible nasty outlawed conventional weapons on site (Minus Nukes), and I of course, mentioned the Butterfly missile was ordered scrapped before it ever hit final. (Some Engineers take the leeway given way too far and the TSAB have to but their overpolished boots down.)
The short of it is: That only a fool does not check and research how a conventional weapon is dealt with when new systems are put into place. ABNO AFB Has an extensive stockpile of various guns, cannons, missiles, and bombs (Nothing extensively large scale or nuclear) on hand for use in testing different aspects of new systems so that if/when faced with a conventional weapons using entity, they have the knowledge onhand that isn't limited to outdated information on old weapons.
That and of course the old saying 'The Golden Rule': He who has the gold, makes the rules. Which holds true to positions of power. If you have the power to write the rules, you also have the power to make exceptions to the rules.
But enough chitter... I have a funny scene involving a screwed up howitzer, and a Vita joke to get to.
And of course, I must attack at full power too...
Why do you even need a gatling gun when you can form multiple shots and fire them simultaneously? Eg Photon Lancer: Phalanx Shift, Accel Shooter, Stinger Blade: Execution Shift. Hell, the Stinger Ray "fires several small magic projectiles in rapid succession, much like the "volume of fire" generated by modern automatic firearms." if the info in Wiki is correct.
Also don't call others a fool, since you don't seem to have done your own research.. Imo, what you're doing is just reinventing the wheel.
And to be blunt about your "golden rule", what you're holding is not gold but dross. Since I cannot speak on the behalf of the thread, this is my own personal opinion. What's you're trying to do is trying to insert your characters and concepts (which went over the h4xx line) in a half assed way with little justification which more or less goes like "because I can" and expect others to accept them. And when others point out flaws, you go and say we make you "work". Hello! Wake up and smell the flowers! This place is like a persistent world, I believe most of us "work" on carefully crafting our characters and concepts to fit into canon as well as what others have created.
If you want conventional weaponry or similar, do what Wild Goose & Kagerou did, which is building an entire world as well as the history and the reasons why their characters can use conventional weaponry. You want something powerful, go see what Tormenk done with Katrina. That's what most of us expect for something that's really haxxed.
Btw I'm not going to comment much on the EDI thing as tech is not up my alley but generally you have a super AI in a aircraft with alot of weapons but you don't have a way to self destruct it, shut it down or even remotely control it in case it goes rogue? What happened to proper safe guards?
PS. I'll comment on Crash later since he's so similar to Tais.
Edit: I changed my mind... How did something so h4xx ever made it through the screening process? Didn't any of the h4xx busters chop this down to size?
You can break me, but you can never kill me. For as long as I have a duty to fulfill, you can never overcome me, Backlog Daemon!

Is this---! Could this be?! :eek::uhoh:
In other words, instructor, but not a combatant, yes?:nod:
But it depends on scenarios. Himawari, her older sister, plus the infamous Belkarengers has a few light fight scenes during the 912 Incident. They have help from a team of Forsaken rogues sent by Lamperogue while defending the Church, but basically during those times it's quite a mess, so even backliners like Aurion get embroiled.
Any reason for the 'grandfather interdimensional trade' thing?Nothing except a VA ref (:uhoh:), and a convenient way to re-define super-rich. :heh:
But most importantly, I needed to nail who has been shipping all that Jap stuff from 97th, so I gave that privilege to Nagi Arisa and Isumi Suzuka. Of course they don't know that until Mikado decides to let Arisa know.
I mean, really oil can't make you rich anymore these days... :heh:

… or at least, that’s what Asagi would want you to believe.
Asagi was born into the inner circle of wealth via parents Allen and Amelia Colwell, the 4th generation heads of Colwell Heavy Industries, one of the largest manufacturers of heavy industrial and commercial equipment and vehicles in Midchilda. As the only child, and with no male siblings forthcoming, Asagi became the sole heir to her family’s legacy; as such was raised with all the expectations of the day when she would take over responsibility for the multi-million dollar family business.
This decadent and secure lifestyle of preparation and study did not appeal to the young Asagi, who seemed to long for something more, a meaning and purpose to her life beyond the prospect of being heir to the family fortune. Eternally bored and hopelessly apathetic it seemed that she was doomed to a life of predictability and clockwork.
That meaning soon came knocking into her doorstep one day via a visit from her long-time friend Mayura Labatt, who had just returned with her family from a vacation on Earth, the 97th Administered World. Bearing gifts from her trip Mayura excitedly showed off her spoils to the normally uninterested Asagi, one of them being a DVD of an entire season of the live-action show “GoGo Sentai Boukenger” .
----------
“Even in this era, there are those that venture into unknown worlds.
They are called “Adventurers”.”
----------
It only took 25 minutes. But a burning passion had been ignited. And when she found out that this was only the tip of the iceberg, Asagi was hooked permanently.
Her obsession known as “Super Sentai” was born.
Endowed with the newly inspired values of Courage and Justice, Asagi aspired to become like the transforming heroes she idolized. It helped that she had innate magical aptitude, and had been a prominent figure in sports, particularly the swordsmanship known as “Kendo”. And so despite her parent’s misgivings, she enrolled into the Time Space Administration Bureau Cadet Academy along with her friends Mayura Labatt and Julie Liu Ming to train as Bureau mages at the age of 13.
By this time the events of the Book of Darkness case had accelerated the revival of Belka-style combat magic, and the three girls were chosen to partake in study under the now three-year-old experimental Class 0061-Q, the first batch of cadets to learn the discipline to be known as Neo-Belka. It was here that they displayed their uncanny prowess in close combat and martial arts. Asagi in particular was known as the best swordfighter of the class, and was even considered to be close to the league of known melee specialists like Fate Testarossa and the Wolkenritter Signum… if only she didn’t have a penchant for Super Sentai-inspired theatrics and drama, which earned her and her friends - now calling themselves the “Belkarangers” - equal parts amusement, frustration and disbelief amongst their peers and superiors.
The most memorable of these incidents was during their final live-fire obstacle course, when Asagi, Mayura and Julie performed a 2-minute long flashy transformation and roll call complete with lighting effects and fireworks… in the middle of combat with hundreds of training rounds and ordnance flying everywhere. Incredulously enough, the three girls not only managed to complete the course completely unscathed, but also nabbed the 2nd fastest time for the class, losing only by a couple of seconds to Cadet Glock Heckler.
------
Eyes rolled at the reading of the last part.
“You know what I’m gonna say about that Kay.”
“I didn’t say anything. See?”
With tongue in cheek, Kay continued typing.
-------
Nonetheless, Asagi, along with Mayura and Julie graduated with flying colors, and served under the 79th Ground Batallion under General Hiram Maxim’s command for 8 years, alongside squadmates Shinobu Nakajima, Darry Milfuelle, and underlings Remington Smith and Colt Wesson.
They were honorably discharged from service after their mandatory term ended in October MC0072 – only a few weeks before the 79th would be engaged in the “Hell Girl” incident, which would see the loss of many of their former comrades, including the devastating loss of close personal friend Shinobu Nakajima.
In memory of her fallen friend, Asagi has founded the Search Guard Successor Foundation (or S.G.S.), a secret privately-funded freelance organization working closely with the TSAB dedicated to searching for and cataloging Lost Logia (which Asagi refers to by the alternative term “Precious") in the hopes of preventing more Lost Logia incidents from happening. Recently the SGS once lent limited aid to the Bureau’s special taskforce Riot Force 6, providing anonymous tips and information regarding the location of various artifacts and Lost Logia.
Today, Asagi’s Belkarangers continue their hunt for Lost Logia, and fighting to prevent the valued artifacts from falling into the wrong hands… and looking cool, snip and awesome while doing so, in the spirit of the show long ago that changed her life forever.
Next part, skills and abilities!!!!! :DAllie: Whee... She's finally here! Yoroshiku! :D

Something like what Daiwa Industries from Vexielle would make.
Remnants of the old war decades and decades ago. The way it's constructed, only the central parts of Cranagan City seems to be fully rebuilt and furnished like a city.
Either restoration of old blocks are not neccesary due to usage as training grounds or no need due to population, among other things. It's not clearly explained.
Story-wise, it's just an excuse to have the battle in Mid-childa without having to resort to 'omg we destroyed public property.'...which is so weird it makes my Forsaken zombies actually believable. :heh:
Oh and due to Mai's brush with Chaos, she is also considered one of the Forsaken. :D
I had an idea for a oneshot, but I need some quick confirmation. What magical level is subaru at the End of StrikerS
Commentary TIME
Volkenrangers.... VOLKENRANGERS! I saw this in a dream after watching A's, and I thought it could not be done. This idea is made of aswsome, win, and great hilarity. Good Job Nightengale
STRIKENGER... Oh my god... I died, went to heaven, wwas blasted back, and now. I am inspired to write a small fic with a Super Vs real theme.
Second Comment on Alpha Verse. It seems like a nice retocon/rewrite of Nanoha (Lol SRW), and I am going to keep a eye on this. Vivo finds out she is a clone! Oh no...

@Kha: I seem to have lost the post I quoted :heh:.
But the Plaguelands sound interesting. If it were up to me, I woulda called them Ghostlands, but whatever :p (complete with bastardized foreign version of "Silvermoon" in there).Actually, that is a GOOD IDEA! I call the Reclaimed Lands Ghostlands. :D
As for Silvermoon... There was an Blood Elf Eta settlement in Renault... After all, Kha and his father were ethnic Eta who followed the Belka way, like Kurds in Azadistan...
:uhoh:
Anyway, since this is Plaguelands, I'm also resisting throwing in another instance on top of Scarlet Temple and Stratholme...
But Zul'Aman, does it fit? :uhoh::uhoh::uhoh:
Sounds fine to me XD. Mages grinding away for hours on end, just to level rank up!Er... No only quests rank you up. Grinding is for training, but that isn't too recommended... After all, rookies can't tell the difference between Plagued and Forsaken until they open their mouths...

As for your thoughts on Vivio, except for the "preppy" part, that sounds pretty close. She hates things that seem embarrassing to her. And that last sentence made be lol: 70 + 40 + 30 + 20 = 160. Throw in some Keroko and Hayate for good measure and you have 200% Woman.
Jesus she beats Asuka Sohryu: (Who is 50% American, 50% German, 50% Japanese. That's 150% woman XD)I'll take 200% woman too. As Sankt Kaisers always should be. :D
XD. Actually, about Aurion, he going to help me in some ways; he's gonna be my voice when it comes to some theories, as will Yuuno when he shows up later.:eek:!
Same here as for Rebuilt!!! I guess we all agree he's the quintessential puppet, ne?

TSAB Profile: N/A
Personality:
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral, whether good or evil depends on whom she’s talking to.
Some things change, some things remain the same. Syn is still every bit a sleepy-head as she used to be, she still has trouble waking up in the mornings and generally takes a little while before she is fully awake.
However, as her closest friend grew and changed over the years, so did Syn. As the taunts grew with the age of those who threw them, so did Syn’s retaliations. Her tongue became sharper, her attitude blunter. Her ‘give others what they give onto you attitude meant that insulting her usually results in getting twice what you threw would end up in a rebound.
Being the ‘toughest victim in the class’ Syn became somewhat of a beacon for those who were constantly bullied. However, it also made her a perfect target for said bullies, and during the years Syn learned the hard way that sometimes you need the punch to back up your mouth. Considering that weapons were forbidden in and around school grounds, this meant meeting said bullied fist-to-fist. The utilization of what little of her affinity she had mastered gave her a desperately needed edge in combat against the tougher bullies. On the flipside, it taught her valuable lessons in the art of combat, even though they were little more impressive then regular school brawls.
As Vivio spiralled more and more down the path of depression, mistrust and self-doupt, Syn worked her way in to the girl, becoming the sole exception to the attitude she radiated towards others. Of course, this did nothing but strengthen the already powerful rumours of the ‘lesbian freak couple’ that surrounded the two, but Syn did not care. Her first priority was getting Vivio back on her feet.
Device: Kyouka is an armed device Syn begged Vivio, who in turn asked Aurion, to create. When activated, Kyouka appears as two gems on the back of black gloves, one for each hand. Kyouka’s main purpose is enhancing Syn’s offensive and defensive capabilities. Kyouka is an intelligent device, addresses Syn as ‘danchou’ when talking, Kyouka generally exhibits a ‘less talk, more action’ personality. Kyouka is also the prime communication link between Syn and Gyou, Syn’s secondary device. Gyou, also created by Aurion, disguised as the eye patch she always wears. In reality Gyou is a data gather and analysis device. Its primary functions include scanning and analyzing opponents, keeping track of target data, and gaining access to more high-secured locations through hacking.
Syn’s combat style is full frontal up close melee. When in combat nothing beats a good pair of limbs. Syn’s combat methods are somewhat special as opposed to what most people practice, though. She has trained her Field-type spells extensively, to the point where they have become her main type of defense, as opposed to Barriers and Shields. There are several reasons for her doing so, the first being that with Field spells, Syn is still able to move as usual while maintaining full body protection. Another reason is that she is able to channel more energy to specific parts of her body to either increase the defense in that area or to release all the energy for extra attack power. All in all Syn is like a bulldozer in melee, of course this specialization resulted in her ranged abilities suffering, but with the resulting power that was a willing price.
Barrier Jacket: Syn’s Barrier Jacket appears as a long black coat with blue linings. The sides of the coat near the hips have armored plating. The coat is always worn open, underneath she is wearing a black shirt and black pants, accenting her already very tomboyish appearance and personality.
Spells:
Attack:
Force Burst: A favorite of Syn, this spell combines a melee punch with a powerful magic shockwave, blasting the enemy away. The punch does not need to hit for the shockwave to work.
Deadly Strave: A magically powered punch, signified by a glowing red aura around Syn’s hand.
Big Bang Impact: Syn’s most powerful spell, it utilizes a combination of magical empowering the punch and gathering as much energy as possible of a Field spell into the fist, before forcefully releasing the Field energy alongside the magical burst. The result is a near explosive melee attack that rivals Divine Buster in strength, and is growing every day.
Quad Burst: Standard multi-target shot. Its range is limited, and Syn can fire and control only up to three shots simultaneously.
Wing Blazer: Standard siege type ‘buster’ attack. Syn forms a magic circle from which the attack is fired.
Support:
Area Awareness: Often confused with Area Search, and with good reason. Similar to Area Search, Syn scouts the area for the targets with the use of magic. The difference is that Area Search uses active search spheres, while Area Awareness relies on sensing the opponents mana, making the spell harder to detect. It is also used to alert Syn of enemy presence in case of combat, hence its name.
Deep Search: In conjunction with Gyou, Syn performs a search into a book, network, database or any other form of information storage. The information extracted is saved into Gyou, and filtered by Kyouka, after which the desired information is displayed to Syn.
Feint Mirage: This spell allows Syn to hide her presence from some forms of scanning equipment or abilities. While it does nothing to hide her from visual, or many of the life sign confirmations, it does allow her to remain undetected to scans from a magic source, and has been known to hide her presence from those who could ‘sense’ it as well.
Drive Move: A speed enhancing move delivering a burst of speed, perfect for closing distances.

Hmm... Tsunderes... Wait. :uhoh:
Been playing too much WoW, have we?Well it does fit, and I need to bring more races onto Midchilda... :uhoh:
Time for the first post of my new OC :blush:
Around the surface of the planet labeled Administered Planet 67, its inhabitants went about their daily business. Construction continued on the new high-rises around the major cities, the adults mingled to and from work, and children sat awake in their classrooms ready for another day of learning. Well, most of them anyway. The situation at the main TSAB research facility on the other hand was another story. Researchers, office personnel, and security were rushing about to prepare for the live demonstration of their Project DenLiner. What would have been a simple systems test was amplified by interest in the latest development by the higher ups in the TSAB. Thus they had been notified a few days prior that several TSAB officers would be arriving to oversee the test and report back their evaluation of the ‘revolutionary’ system. Needless to say that opened up a large can of worms.
The rising of the sun to its apex and the heavily escorted convoy of TSAB vehicles meant that they were out of time to prepare. Guards and the few TSAB members on site were quick to assemble and salute the approaching cars. Technicians scrambled around the testing field for final checks on the equipment for the fourth time. This would be the first time such high ranking officials have come to their lowly building and they weren’t going to screw it up.
Doors opened from the three cars, allowing the TSAB officials inside to meet out into the cool air. The security head was the first to greet them, dressed in his best uniform. To hold up appearances he personally escorted the trio through the building to the observation deck in the rear. He did his best to answer any question they might have along the way about their research or world, as well as struggling to maintain his professional and calm demeanor.
Normally the observation deck was untidy, littered with random readouts, cans, bottles, and miscellaneous data collection equipment. What greeted the guests was something radically different. Several padded chairs lined the protective shielding that overlooked the test field below. All the random clutter was cleaned out, revealing the highly polished floor that no one had been in ages. A lone figure stood waiting for them in the corner next to the shielding. She stood at an average height dressed in a dark blue blouse and black formal skirt. Her hands were tucked casually in the pockets of the lab coat, which her co-workers were unable to convince her not to wear, worn over her clothes. A smile formed on her lips as she welcomed the guests.
“Ah, good afternoon Admiral Janeway, Admiral Harlawown, and General Gaiz. Welcome to our humble facility.”
The trio nodded to the false-blonde.
“Thank you Doctor Akagi,” politely responds Chrono, “I believe you have something you would like to show us?”
“Yes, we do,” she quickly responds and gestures for them to sit, “As you are well aware, several years of research and testing on Project DenLiner have recently yielded fruit. Mages today face countless challenges in combat situations and are limited in what they can do because of their Devices. The limited capacity of modern Device AIs to process and support only one class of magic hinders a mage from expanding and finding their potential. Project DenLiner seeks to bring an end to those limitations. By incorporating multiple AIs into a Device, a mage is able to use multiple classes of magic at their peak potential without putting a lot of strain on themselves or their Devices. Although limited in its current state, we have managed to incorporate four independent AIs into a Device with three of them specializing in anti-AMF combat.”
“Anti-AMF combat?” questions Janeway.
“Yes, with the rise of use of AMFs by these Gadget Drones we sought to also find a solution. Rather than relying on the conventional use of mid- and long-range combat, Project DenLiner makes use of augmenting close-combat weapons with magic. In this way the user’s combat efficiency isn’t hampered by the standard AMF.”
That seemed to grab their attention as the trio nodded. Even the gruff Regius seemed mildly interested now.
“But words are merely words unless they can be proven. So if you would please turn your attention to the testing field in front of you…”
Three sets of eyes turned and found the empty field to be no longer as empty. A young man stood out in the middle of the artificially covered ground in a standard TSAB uniform. A black object was gripped in his right hand.
“Our testing field uses the same solid-holographic projection system of the TSAB training facilities. For today’s demonstration we will be using the default field so you may view the test without any obstructions.”
Red lights around the perimeter of the field flashed in sequence, announcing the start of the demonstration. In the middle of it all, Ryotaro held the pass to his side and took a breath. The belt materializes around his waist and he presses the red button with his free hand.
“Henshin.”
He swipes the black Pass over the Terminal Buckle, calling forth the red Barrier Jacket.
Sword Form.
Above the field, the spectators watch and look over the rather unique Barrier Jacket design. It was fairly distinct and unlike the Barrier Jackets they were used to seeing.
“Ore…Sanjou!”
All three turned to look at the nervously laughing doctor after seeing the mage pose rather dramatically.
‘I am SO gonna kill him…’
The demonstration continued with several groups of oval-shaped drones appearing from the edges of the field and easily being dispatched in close-range combat solely by the DenGasher. As he sliced cleanly through another drone, incoming fire forced him to roll to the side and assess the new threat. Several large spherical drones floated onto the field and fired. Ryotaro knew from previous training sessions that they had a reinforced shield and required a bit more ‘persuasion’ to take down. Rolling past another burst of fire, he presses the yellow button on the Terminal Buckle and swipes the Pass.
Axe Form.
Red armor segments shift and morph to their new yellow configuration with Ryotaro quickly rearranging the DenGasher to a different configuration. Satisfied with the axe in his hands, he charges the nearest drone and slams the magic-reinforced blade into its shielding. The yellow barrier strains for a moment before shattering, allowing the axe to continue on its way and cleave the drone in two.
“While not radically different than Sword Form, Axe Form specializes in barrier penetration and strength augmentation.”
The group continues to observe the now yellow figure cleave its way through the large drones with ease. As he bisects the last drone, several groups of aerial drones materialize above the field and start diving runs at their intended target below.
Rod Form.
Yellow gives way to blue in his new Barrier Jacket configuration. He quickly reconfigures the DenGasher into an almost 2 meter long rod with laded edge and takes out a diving drone. Several more attempt to dive and fire, only to be skewered by the bladed edge at range. Finding the current tactic unsuccessful, three groups of aerial drones maintain their altitude and bombard the field with their blasts.
Gun Form.
The barrier Jacket shifts yet again to purple with two plates on the front folding open. Ryotaro returns fire with the now gun mode DenGasher at the drones above as they take evasive maneuvers to try and avoid the incoming fire.
“We also realized that ranged combat is just as important as close-range combat so we developed the Gun Form to fulfill this need. This form is also able to take out a large group from range.”
Receiving the confirmation command from above, Ryotaro swipes the Pass over the Terminal Buckle.
Full Charge.
The remaining aerial drone swing around for another strafing run high above the testing field. On the ground Ryotaro grips the DenGasher with both hands and takes aim. The two orbs on the open chest panels glow and channel magic to the front of the barrel.
Wild Shot.
He pulls the trigger and sends the almost meter wide sphere of purple, concentrated magic at them. They try to veer away, but the attack impacts an aerial drone on the end and detonates, enveloping them all in the massive explosion.
“That was quite an impressive demonstration, Doctor Akagi.”
“Thank you Admiral Janeway. Now, if you’ll follow me to the debriefing room…”
And an omake :D
After the debriefing the officers received a full tour of the facility before departing. For everyone they were finally able to breath a sigh of relief. All in all, everything seemed to go well with no problems. Well...almost everyone.
"I said I'm sorry!" cries out Ryotaro as he skids around another corner with an angry false-blonde doctor hot on his heels with a broom stick.
"What the HELL was with that Sanjou crap?! I TOLD you not to DO THAT!"
"Help me!!"

Goose, I know you know better...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Jordan_Gatling
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatling_gun
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Rotary_cannons
At the risk of having to wander off into the tech thread, the term Gatling Gun does NOT mean it fires conventional bullets. (Which are outlawed by the TSAB). It means that the weapons system uses a type of rotating multi barrel mechanism instead of single barrel mechanism.... as per invention by Richard Jordan Gatling. A Rotary Cannon.
The mechanism as it is used in modern conventional firearms is so that each barrel can cool while another barrel is shooting, as well as cycle in new rounds and eject old ones simultaniously... Allowing you to increase the Rate of Fire without melting/warping your barrels and blowing the weapon up in your face and lots of other problems.
It does not matter what gets spit out of the barrel. Bullets, Lasers, lightning, magic.
If I had eight Raising Heart staves programmed to Divine Buster (And a linker core that could handle it), I could fire, rotate to the next one, fire, rotate the next one, fire... etc... all the way around until you get back to the first one, which would be charged up to fire again. That is basic gatling principle.
Actually, I was referring more to the missiles - it later occurred to me after I'd posted that the gatlings were magical gatlings. A gatling style magical rotary cannon would work the way you mentioned, though I think the ROF wouldn't be anything like a modern gatling: that you'd have to power it, factor in charge time, etc etc, which would cut down on the firing rate - the only thing consistent about MSLN is that magical attacks take time to charge. Not to say that you wouldn't be firing faster than a typical magical cannon - you most definately WOULD be - but neither would you have the wall of lead that a gatling spits out.
I can understand the concept behind a magical gatling. I remain unconvinced as to powering it, plus the fact that we see that magical shots take several seconds to charge, so we will never see a rate of fire like a conventional gatling. It appears possible - whether it's practical to use is another matter entirely.
I'm getting very close in the actual writing part of the fictional work as to why the TSAB allows Abenobashi AFB and the Test Division to have the horrible nasty outlawed conventional weapons on site (Minus Nukes), and I of course, mentioned the Butterfly missile was ordered scrapped before it ever hit final. (Some Engineers take the leeway given way too far and the TSAB have to but their overpolished boots down.)
The short of it is: That only a fool does not check and research how a conventional weapon is dealt with when new systems are put into place. ABNO AFB Has an extensive stockpile of various guns, cannons, missiles, and bombs (Nothing extensively large scale or nuclear) on hand for use in testing different aspects of new systems so that if/when faced with a conventional weapons using entity, they have the knowledge onhand that isn't limited to outdated information on old weapons.
This is plausible. However, it might have been better to produce more coherently-written backstory pieces first to set up the plot, then storyline. Much of what is known about the OFM is known because of the discussions that were with everyone, and the public and visible haxbusting as Kagerou finalised the backstory for Erusia, eventually posting it to be read. The OFM index post that I maintain contains links to War of Subjugation primer, a quick overview of the OFM, and a short essay on their use of conventional weapons, as well as the fics.
Regarding this issue on another point, you view too lightly institutional bureacracy. 75 years is enough time for an organisation to get set deeply into its ways, so I doubt the Test Force is going to be thought of much fondly by the TSAB. More along the lines of tolerated nuisances, perhaps. Consider the US Air Force. It is barely 50 years old. And it has become quite rigid and set in its ways, refusing to look outside unless forced to - Sidewinder, for instance, was a Navy weapon, as was the F-4 Phantom. The Air Force still insists on getting rid of its A-10s, even though the troops on the ground desperately want them. And let's not forget the Bomber Generals who believed bombing was the way to win wars.
...and you expect us to believe that the TSAB will have selective rules enforcement on this issue? From Regius? Lt. General "I'll come down on you as hard as I can nevermind I'm dirty and have my own secret dirty secrets"? :eyebrow:
To repeat: the only way the OFM have managed to get away with using their guns is because nobody in the TSAB knows they use real guns as opposed to gun-shaped devices. Except for Fate, who's seen then in action and kept her mouth shut, and O'Neill, who Erick reports to.
That and of course the old saying 'The Golden Rule': He who has the gold, makes the rules. Which holds true to positions of power. If you have the power to write the rules, you also have the power to make exceptions to the rules.
Funny, I thought it was "He who would enforce the law must also live by it." If you have the power to write the rules but show no respect for them, then it backfires on you. Richard Marcinko pretty much killed his Navy career simply because he broke the rules left and right and worked against the system. When he set up Red Cell, Vice Admiral James Lyons gave him the rulebook (an actual physical rulebook) and told him, "Dick, read my lips: follow the rules or your ass is mine." Marcinko ignored him and broke every single rule there was, made a shitload of enemies, and pretty much killed his career and got Red Cell shut down.
The OFM break the no guns rules only to allow themselves to operate - and they keep it as quiet as possible. They're very restricted in what they do and how they are; most of the OFM stick to each other with an us-versus-them mentality towards the main TSAB, Aces friendship with OFM command echelon notwithstanding. What you're doing is flaunting of banned weaponry. That is not going to make the Test Force any friends.
@Kagerou: Don't feel too bad on 4 seperate storylines. Look at Clannad: 5 girls, 5 storylines, yet the anime manages to make it all work. So far...
Why do you even need a gatling gun when you can form multiple shots and fire them simultaneously? Eg Photon Lancer: Phalanx Shift, Accel Shooter, Stinger Blade: Execution Shift. Hell, the Stinger Ray "fires several small magic projectiles in rapid succession, much like the "volume of fire" generated by modern automatic firearms." if the info in Wiki is correct.
Actually, a magical gatling would be useful. What ATC is trying for here is a magical gatling firing DIVINE BUSTER. Which.... is impractical for a mage, really - there's a reason there's charge time for the spell, and the repeated rapidfire strain of Divine Buster would definately be a problem on the body and Linker core. In my view, it would have to be a vehicle weapon, since with a mage carrying it we have the problem of weight and mass (even if it's weightless, there will still be mass for intertia to act upon) and then we have the problem of the linker cores and stuff. Not to say that it's impossible... but making it practical is going to be difficult.
But it was the truuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuth......

Just to clarify, I'm not going for a gatling Divine Buster. (I'm not as nuts as you think.)
The two Cerberus IIs on there fire the low power, dumbfire pester shots that will hurt something if not dealt with, but easy enough to block by a decent mage.
Since the power source on hand is larger and heftier than the mage power of Crash for his single Cerberus I, the CIIs have more UMPH and are a threat in a fight to be taken seriously, for the volume of fire moreso than shot power.
Nah, the Divine Buster system is on the Rotary Carrage Rack. It's a single shot divine buster extension unit. The lower bay doors open, the rack rotates the Buster System to the bottom, it's lowered into the air, it charges, it fires. And all Rotary Rack equipment can only be used one at a time. The Eight Shot Shooter cannot be used at the same time as the Div Bust. In fact, the eight shots cannot be maintained if the Shooter is not deployed.
I'm kind of reminded of Einhander in that manner... Cool.

Anyhow, does anybody have some sort of expectations for the next chapter so I can add something?:heh:
Benn buried by assignments lately so I have been putting off backlog for a proper reply. :heh: I'll see if I can clear some of it before I sleep off yesterday's all-nighter. :eyespin:
Heeeeee...? Our Kozo is getting his hair shaved then? That makes 2 war-veterans in this thread. :D:D:D:D
lol. AFAIK he's still going to the same school as me. :heh: Probably too lazy to reply here. :p
Attacking backlog later....
@Thread: I need to check with you folks on a concept I'm working on. Is it OC-viable that a character uses a weapon that is not a device but rather something may be something like a mix of Nietono no Shana and a Divine Vessel (that the contracted Guze no Ou communicate through in SnS), and is basically part of that person's body?
Rather unique concept here. Nietono no Shana can be seen as a magically attuned non-magical weapon here like Artei's sword that Kha brought up not too long ago, that feeds on mana to strengthen itself. As for the Divine Vessel, an Intelligent Device perhaps? Mixing the two together, you would get a weapon that has a ID installed into it. At least that's my take on it. :)
And you just reminded me of something I completely forgot sometime ago! :eek: *head-desk ORZ* Suffice to say I may have to retcon myself. :eyespin:
@Aaron:
Not anything I can think of now. Short Rein-Agito fight maybe? :heh:

Finally finished the second part of Atsuki Boukenshaa's profile update, though this one covers her personality. Skills, Devices and Abilities to be covered next chapter :heh:
Personality:
If there’s one word to describe Asagi, it would be this:
EXTREME
Asagi is a person who lets her emotions take over and run wild in a rampage once something ignites her passions, and for maximum effect nothing gets her passions burning more than a good dose of Super Sentai.
She’s a person whose emotions and feelings reach the limits of the emotional spectrum: in a single moment she can experience the highest of highs, then crash into the lowest depths of depression, then a minute later rebound into a ball of energy like the best thing in the world just happened. And once her mind has been set on a particular task at hand Asagi’s persistence to complete it borders on the unbelievable: much like trying to stop a speeding truck with your bare hands, Asagi’s stubbornness in completing what she started is impossible, lest one is willing to become Superman to stop her. This stubbornness is legendary amongst everyone she meets, and especially her friends.
Along with these emotional highs Asagi has a flair for the dramatic bordering into the absurd. Given the choice between two equally effective plans in any situation, Asagi will choose the most direct method and transform it into the flashiest, most dramatic, most explosive operation ever complete with DYNAMIC ENTRY, HENSHIN, ROLL CALL and SPECIAL EFFECTS, and sparing no expense and pulling no punches in execution no matter how ludicrous the plan may sound on paper.
(Mayura and Julie call this the “Dynaman Syndrome”, aka “You can never have too many explosions”).
Thankfully her two friends refine her plans into a more sensible working draft before execution.
But full of energy doesn’t mean totally mindless: Asagi was raised as heir to a massive multi-million dollar industrial company built on technology, and as such has the smarts to participate in business and financially related matters, and when absolutely required she is able to play the role of the dainty, restrained and gentle young princess, graceful and elegant in manner and poise.
(It has been suggested that perhaps it’s the massive amounts of energy trapped and repressed when Asagi acts in such a manner that explains where her… explosive behavior afterwards.)
Still, for all her loud and rash behavior Asagi is surprisingly difficult to anger, perhaps due to the optimism she has acquired over the years, and her naturally forgiving nature (some have dubbed her the Goddess of Forgiveness for it). But as with everything she does, once her wrath has been released her fury shall not be sated until her grudge lies on the floor in the puddle of their own blood, preferably chopped up into tiny little pieces (Thankfully Mayura and Julie have prevented Asagi from progressing past the point of making the victim unrecognizable) – or she is appeased through a good showing of "MOERO RESCUE TAMASHII".
All this has stemmed from Asagi’s love of the show that defined her life: Super Sentai. She breathes, she eats, she sleeps, she dreams – in short, she LIVES Super Sentai. Her devotion to Super Sentai has sometimes bordered on the downright OBSESSIVE, like the infamous Shopping Spree of 2011 that left many a retailer on Japan several thousand dollars richer, store shelves empty, and has caused many less fortunate Super Sentai fans in much wailing and gnashing of teeth as stores waited to be restocked of their much beloved merchandise.
As is the case with many who are exposed to Japanese culture and are enamored by it, Asagi intersperses Japanese a lot into her speech, sometimes with unintelligible results. And one of Asagi’s pet peeves is in people bunching together Super Sentai with its Americanized counterpart Power Rangers, going out of her way to ‘educate’ people on the difference between the two franchises, and on how the latter is inferior to the origina-
-----
“Kay, what'd I tell you?"
“Sorry Glock… couldn’t resist.”
*backspace*
-----
… the two franchises.
Despite her many eccentricities (or perhaps because of it), Asagi is still well-loved by those closest to her, especially Mayura and Julie, and her unrelenting perseverance and determination has at least earned her the respect of many of her colleagues. Also, her unique brand of Super Sentai wisdom and energy has rubbed off a few people not only with Mayura and Julie, but most notably on the gunslinger pair Remington Smith and Colt Wesson, transforming them into the crack duo they are today.

Attempting backlog breaking. The Crack has been rather... healthy these days, no? :heh:
meh I think I got half of those.
And from what I recall, "Where is your God now?" is a 4chan meme.
IIRC that quote also came from the first Ten Commandants movie by Cecil B. DeMille in 1956.
And also, posting a piece of Alpha for you guys to tear apart. Goose found no problems with it, but I want a second (third? fourth?) opinion. Once I finish an episode, I'll post the completed thing in the fanfiction thread.
~ snip ~
My biggest question for you guys: What do you think Vivio will be like as a 14-year old? I'm playing it safe and showing very little of a personality right now other than just being a teenager, but as the story continues I'll be showing more of it. I'm guessing some mix of Nanoha and Fate, along with typical teenage mannerisms thrown in for good measure.
And also, Syn Virage isn't my creation. She's one of Keroko's OCs that was posted pages ago.
As I said, I'll continue to scenes as they finish, and then put the final result in the fanfiction thread. As the story picks up, the scenes will get longer, rather than these little introduction scenes that you're getting. So, here's Maho Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Alpha, Episode I, Scene II:
~ snip ~
So... anyone think that maybe I set Tesla's rank too high, or maybe Hayate's? It is eight years later, but if general consensus is to lower it, then I will.
Scene III. It's a little longer than the previous 2 scenes (I know because it wouldn't let me PM it to Goose).
~ snip ~
Hmm, interesting. Though imho scene 2 seems a bit out of place in the flow, but then again maybe it's just me.
Vivio's pented-up anger and her reliance (?) on Syn for comfort and confirmation is nicely brought out, and methinks scene 3 highlights the stress she has been accumulating form those 8 years. Given her character, if Nanoha hadn't gone into her slums, the social stigma (?) Vivio's receiving from her peers wouldn't have much of an effect, but since her mother isn't in a position to support her....
Good job, and more please :).
Hey what's this? An honest to goodness profile from Lowe? What's going on here? :twitch:
*ehem*
Right, less talk, and more PROFILE TIME :D
And this first part is for the FIERY ADVENTURER :D
~ snip ~
Next part, skills and abilities!!!!! :D
Oh, Lowe... :heh:
But I for one look forward to seeing Asagi and co in action. The look on Mai's face as she looks on might be most intriguing :D.
~ snip ~
*runs*
Where's Hayate?
Backlog crashing later, to start of, Syn's Alpha profile:
~ snip ~
Is it just me, or do I sense some HxH innuendos from Syn? :heh:
That aside, she does seem well suited for spy work, infiltration and maybe assassination imho.
Time for the first post of my new OC :blush:
~ snip ~
And an omake :D
~snip ~
:heh:
Yeah! And I'll (aside from others) be personally dealing with her supposed ineffectiveness!:mad:
HELL YEAH!
Btw the Spell Oven just churned these out:
Doppelgänger
A high level spell that allows Hayate to create an almost exact copy of anyone, including herself. While this spell has various uses (including creating a sparing partner), Hayate usually use it in combat to create another her to keep the opposition occupied while she works on her more powerful and time-consuming spells. Only one Doppelgänger can be created from each original and only Hayate, and not her Doppelgänger, can create other Doppelgängers. To create Doppelgängers from others, she'll need to have exact information of their biological and magical make-up.
Planet Cracker (kudos to those who can guess where this name came from ;))
A ceremonial magick which is considered to be the most damaging AoE spell in Hayate's arsenal, the Planet Cracker was originally an experiment to find out how far she could push Ragnarok's limits. As the intonation of the aria begins, a huge white Belkan Hexagram materialises over the intended spot and emits a glow that gradually intensifies as it absorbs the Lifeforce from its surroundings. As the trigger ("Amen") is spoken, pillars of concentrated incinerating light blast forth from the centre and its six points, punching deeply into the earth with a deafening roar. Nothing is spared, and where the pillars do not come into direct contact, the raw energy burns in the wildly disturbed atmosphere will rend most asunder without fail. As the bombardment continues, the Hexagram will slowly rotate, covering any blindspots and, if Hayate can manage it, move while incinerating the land below.
While in terms of power it is nowhere close to weapons like the Arc En Ciel, it far surpass all other attack spells in area and damage, earning the undisputed rank of SSS. Understandably, the Planet Cracker has been labelled as a Forbidden Magick, and Hayate is banned from using it to its full potential (the maximum size of the Hexagram is recorded as 3 km radii from the centre at full power; she is only allow to use up to 1km radii, and even then she needs approval from her superiors to use that).
Of course not that Hayate herself could use it freely in the very first place (as with most of her original spells, she brainstormed/daydreamed the idea before actually going into the details, a practice instilled into her by her teacher Leanne Sidhe). The mana expenditure for this spell is astronomic even for her, and alone conjuring the 1km radii version requires max output and concentration, along with reinforcement from all nine layers of the Draupnir spell. However, if she creates a Doppelganger beforehand and works together with it, the full-powered Planet Cracker will be achievable.
The first spell, I intend to keep it, since it seems quite useful. But of course I don't expect Hayate to use it perfectly from the start. 8 years is a good enough period to polish stuff up, hmm.
The second one though.... :heh:
*runs from haxx-busters*

Drama. Nice and thick ones, please :p
Rather unique concept here. Nietono no Shana can be seen as a magically attuned non-magical weapon here like Artei's sword that Kha brought up not too long ago, that feeds on mana to strengthen itself. As for the Divine Vessel, an Intelligent Device perhaps? Mixing the two together, you would get a weapon that has a ID installed into it. At least that's my take on it. :)
And you just reminded me of something I completely forgot sometime ago! :eek: *head-desk ORZ* Suffice to say I may have to retcon myself. :eyespin:
Actually the concept is that the weapon is somewhat like a interface to the outer world for the Being residing within the person (note the blatant copypasta from SnS :uhoh:). But that idea of a magically-attuned weapon gives me some ideas :).

It grows with a lot of TLC and generous amounts of Bluecheesium :nod:
What's TLC? :confused:
Mai's had enough experience with S&W to know how to deal with the Belkaranger's antics... which would be through extreme prejudice :uhoh::uhoh:
Meaning she'll have her chainsaw ready whenever colorful explosions start popping around the place? :heh:
Hayate is a Protoss Mothership now? :twitch::twitch::twitch:
That was, and still is, the idea :p.
And I initially thought the dopplegangers could create their own dopplegangers through the use of their passive Juxtapose ability :uhoh:
*runs*
That came to my mind as well. Then I realised that if I set it that way, we'll have an army of Yagami Hayates in no time. Nanoha at "Zenryoku Zenkai!" mode might even pale in comparison.
That's like, plainly asking to haxx-busted :heh:.
It is an aura afterall... :heh:
Fearsome....:uhoh:

Where's Hayate?
*points to Hayate cowering in the corner*
Um, there. She was shafted.
Btw the Spell Oven just churned these out:
Doppelgänger
A high level spell that allows Hayate to create an almost exact copy of anyone, including herself. While this spell has various uses (including creating a sparing partner), Hayate usually use it in combat to create another her to keep the opposition occupied while she works on her more powerful and time-consuming spells. Only one Doppelgänger can be created from each original and only Hayate, and not her Doppelgänger, can create other Doppelgängers. To create Doppelgängers from others, she'll need to have exact information of their biological and magical make-up.
Planet Cracker (kudos to those who can guess where this name came from ;))
A ceremonial magick which is considered to be the most damaging AoE spell in Hayate's arsenal, the Planet Cracker was originally an experiment to find out how far she could push Ragnarok's limits. As the intonation of the aria begins, a huge white Belkan Hexagram materialises over the intended spot and emits a glow that gradually intensifies as it absorbs the Lifeforce from its surroundings. As the trigger ("Amen") is spoken, pillars of concentrated incinerating light blast forth from the centre and its six points, punching deeply into the earth with a deafening roar. Nothing is spared, and where the pillars do not come into direct contact, the raw energy burns in the wildly disturbed atmosphere will rend most asunder without fail. As the bombardment continues, the Hexagram will slowly rotate, covering any blindspots and, if Hayate can manage it, move while incinerating the land below.
While in terms of power it is nowhere close to weapons like the Arc En Ciel, it far surpass all other attack spells in area and damage, earning the undisputed rank of SSS. Understandably, the Planet Cracker has been labelled as a Forbidden Magick, and Hayate is banned from using it to its full potential (the maximum size of the Hexagram is recorded as 3 km radii from the centre at full power; she is only allow to use up to 1km radii, and even then she needs approval from her superiors to use that).
Of course not that Hayate herself could use it freely in the very first place (as with most of her original spells, she brainstormed/daydreamed the idea before actually going into the details, a practice instilled into her by her teacher Leanne Sidhe). The mana expenditure for this spell is astronomic even for her, and alone conjuring the 1km radii version requires max output and concentration, along with reinforcement from all nine layers of the Draupnir spell. However, if she creates a Doppelganger beforehand and works together with it, the full-powered Planet Cracker will be achievable.
The first spell, I intend to keep it, since it seems quite useful. But of course I don't expect Hayate to use it perfectly from the start. 8 years is a good enough period to polish stuff up, hmm.
The second one though.... :heh:
*runs from haxx-busters*
:uhoh:...Forte's Earth Breaker taken to a higher level...The might of Blizzzaaaarrrddd:uhoh:
Is it just me, or...
*Some Hebrew gibberish*
OK! CHROME!
AMEN!!!!
*Blast of intense black light*
:D
*sees the crowd at the corner*
This Aura sure is contagious...
"No, must...resist..."
Resistance is Futile.
"Why do you want me?"
You are a shaftable being, created by another shaftable being.
*Struggle Ensues...*
"Just...DIE and leave me alone!!!!"
Death is Irrelevant.
"Aghhhh...Who are you?'
We are the Shafted.
What's TLC?

Take it as you like it.
I'm most intrigued by the tag "lesbian freak couple." Can this mean we get to see hot grown-up Vivio/Syn action? :naughty:
Syn >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> USB500
When I created Syn, the plan from the very beginning was to make her Vivio's 'Fate'. So expect heavy borderline suggestive situations, and concidering Syn's bluntness, beyond borderline comments. :p
Though I wonder... by 'hot grown-up Vivio/Syn action' could you by chance mean... something like this?
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y191/Liinna/Nanoha/SynVivio-1.png
Is that... a green-haired heterochromatic Lindy? :twitch::heh:
Nice image for Sleepyhead Syn :D
*dodges rocks*
Blue haired. :p But yeah, that's Lindy. This is one of the youngest pictures I have of her, and concidering Lindy was my template for Syn to begin with, it worked just fine.
*thumbs up* Nice profile! ^__^ And older syn is cute... if a bit.... well-endowned.
*chuckles* Naomi is sogonna be pissed.
"WHY DO ALL THESE GIRLS HAVE BIGGER CHESTS THAN ME!? WHAT DO I LACK THAT THEY HAVE?!
*stares at Naomi's chest* ... Do you really have to ask?
Also, an idea that's been floating in my mind for a while; you mentioned a senario where Mandy calls in a favor from the OFM... Kagerou and I were thinking that perhaps the reason Master Chief got reassigned to the OFM was because Erick called in a favor from Mandy.
Thus, we've got two possibilities... the OFM doing Mandy a favor, which will be later cashed in for Master Chief, or Mandy calling in a favor from the OFM (which was Master Chief.) <.<
Hmm, I can certainly imagine Mandy doing the OFM a favour by reassigning Master Chief to them. Mandy sees the merrit of a unit like the OFM, and being on good terms with them can only work out in the long run.
Go for it. :D
No problem.:nod:
Heck, he provides assistance to outlaws. Why not provide devices to Vivio's friend?:D:D:D
Its a go then. :)
Approved!:D:D:D:D:D:D Who'se base pic is that?:)
The device abilities are not much of an issue. Though Gyou's capabilities would need more than just a request from Vivio to make.:p I suggest Syn also knowing Aurion personally and an acquaintance with her parents for better connection.:)
The base pic for Syn, and the template from which I designed her in the first place, is Lindy (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y191/Liinna/Nanoha/95072_e7ea62767157d227d716634dc7b5f.jpg).
And duly noted, with her parents being high ranked, them knowing Aurion shouldn't be difficult. And Syn is guaranteed to know Aurion, being Vivio's friend.
IMAGE TIME!!!!![/B]
First off, here's Asagi at 13-years old, when she was but a young noob:

And here she is 10 years later as leader of the SGS:

Oooh, pretty. :love:
Goose, I know you know better...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Jordan_Gatling
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatling_gun
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Rotary_cannons
At the risk of having to wander off into the tech thread, the term Gatling Gun does NOT mean it fires conventional bullets. (Which are outlawed by the TSAB). It means that the weapons system uses a type of rotating multi barrel mechanism instead of single barrel mechanism.... as per invention by Richard Jordan Gatling. A Rotary Cannon.
The mechanism as it is used in modern conventional firearms is so that each barrel can cool while another barrel is shooting, as well as cycle in new rounds and eject old ones simultaniously... Allowing you to increase the Rate of Fire without melting/warping your barrels and blowing the weapon up in your face and lots of other problems.
It does not matter what gets spit out of the barrel. Bullets, Lasers, lightning, magic.
If I had eight Raising Heart staves programmed to Divine Buster (And a linker core that could handle it), I could fire, rotate to the next one, fire, rotate the next one, fire... etc... all the way around until you get back to the first one, which would be charged up to fire again. That is basic gatling principle.
I'm getting very close in the actual writing part of the fictional work as to why the TSAB allows Abenobashi AFB and the Test Division to have the horrible nasty outlawed conventional weapons on site (Minus Nukes), and I of course, mentioned the Butterfly missile was ordered scrapped before it ever hit final. (Some Engineers take the leeway given way too far and the TSAB have to but their overpolished boots down.)
The short of it is: That only a fool does not check and research how a conventional weapon is dealt with when new systems are put into place. ABNO AFB Has an extensive stockpile of various guns, cannons, missiles, and bombs (Nothing extensively large scale or nuclear) on hand for use in testing different aspects of new systems so that if/when faced with a conventional weapons using entity, they have the knowledge onhand that isn't limited to outdated information on old weapons.
That and of course the old saying 'The Golden Rule': He who has the gold, makes the rules. Which holds true to positions of power. If you have the power to write the rules, you also have the power to make exceptions to the rules.
It would have been handy if you had written down the background and reasons for this blatant exception to what passes as the law on Mid-Childa before you went and created crazy scenarios. Right now everything sounds far from believable, and high in the 'I want it, so it is' ranks.
I am not fond of any facillity having large stockpiles of various conventional weaponry at all. This clearly goes against canon, no matter how you try to sugar-coat it with 'but its the most logical thing to do' Conventional weaponry is banned and if you want to be an exception to the rule, then you have to think of a very good background for being able to do so.
Hm, we'll have to see. With some of them practically begging for a NanoFate ending and my pining for the Yuunoha one, it'll be interesting (even if NanoFate can't happen, they'll probably divert it to HayateNano).
The only one begging for a NanoFate was Haru (I love it when he tries the 'I lost interest in your fic' emotional blackmail route) the rest of them are curious on how things turn out.
Too late :3
But we love Syn, and she's by now already learned one of those life lessons that says not to take the whips and stings of those who hate you because you look different, and to keep your friends close to your heart, and so on.
Yup, that's how she grew.
Edit: I changed my mind... How did something so h4xx ever made it through the screening process? Didn't any of the h4xx busters chop this down to size?
Tk has not been around for some time, and the rest of us went easy on the new guy. A mistake I won't repeat again, mind you.
Nothing except a VA ref (:uhoh:), and a convenient way to re-define super-rich. :heh:
But most importantly, I needed to nail who has been shipping all that Jap stuff from 97th, so I gave that privilege to Nagi Arisa and Isumi Suzuka. Of course they don't know that until Mikado decides to let Arisa know.
I mean, really oil can't make you rich anymore these days... :heh:
But what do you think?
Very unbelievable to be honest. Is it really necissary?
Sophia: Ha?! That was ME talking! :twitch:
Creator-san: Eto... :heh:
I stand by my statement.
Nice... A rough on the edges best pal... Every good girl needs one! :D
And not to mention both girls use their fists a lot... I pity their uke, wherever they are... :heh:
How about two semes put together? Fight for domination much?
Attacking backlog later....
@Thread: I need to check with you folks on a concept I'm working on. Is it OC-viable that a character uses a weapon that is not a device but rather something may be something like a mix of Nietono no Shana and a Divine Vessel (that the contracted Guze no Ou communicate through in SnS), and is basically part of that person's body?
Label it a Lost Logia and it should be possible. I'll give more contrsuctive critisism when I see te result.
YOSHA
Finally finished the second part of Atsuki Boukenshaa's profile update, though this one covers her personality. Skills, Devices and Abilities to be covered next chapter :heh:
Personality:
If there’s one word to describe Asagi, it would be this:
EXTREME
Asagi is a person who lets her emotions take over and run wild in a rampage once something ignites her passions, and for maximum effect nothing gets her passions burning more than a good dose of Super Sentai.
She’s a person whose emotions and feelings reach the limits of the emotional spectrum: in a single moment she can experience the highest of highs, then crash into the lowest depths of depression, then a minute later rebound into a ball of energy like the best thing in the world just happened. And once her mind has been set on a particular task at hand Asagi’s persistence to complete it borders on the unbelievable: much like trying to stop a speeding truck with your bare hands, Asagi’s stubbornness in completing what she started is impossible, lest one is willing to become Superman to stop her. This stubbornness is legendary amongst everyone she meets, and especially her friends.
Along with these emotional highs Asagi has a flair for the dramatic bordering into the absurd. Given the choice between two equally effective plans in any situation, Asagi will choose the most direct method and transform it into the flashiest, most dramatic, most explosive operation ever complete with DYNAMIC ENTRY, HENSHIN, ROLL CALL and SPECIAL EFFECTS, and sparing no expense and pulling no punches in execution no matter how ludicrous the plan may sound on paper.
(Mayura and Julie call this the “Dynaman Syndrome”, aka “You can never have too many explosions”).
Thankfully her two friends refine her plans into a more sensible working draft before execution.
But full of energy doesn’t mean totally mindless: Asagi was raised as heir to a massive multi-million dollar industrial company built on technology, and as such has the smarts to participate in business and financially related matters, and when absolutely required she is able to play the role of the dainty, restrained and gentle young princess, graceful and elegant in manner and poise.
(It has been suggested that perhaps it’s the massive amounts of energy trapped and repressed when Asagi acts in such a manner that explains where her… explosive behavior afterwards.)
Still, for all her loud and rash behavior Asagi is surprisingly difficult to anger, perhaps due to the optimism she has acquired over the years, and her naturally forgiving nature (some have dubbed her the Goddess of Forgiveness for it). But as with everything she does, once her wrath has been released her fury shall not be sated until her grudge lies on the floor in the puddle of their own blood, preferably chopped up into tiny little pieces (Thankfully Mayura and Julie have prevented Asagi from progressing past the point of making the victim unrecognizable) – or she is appeased through a good showing of "MOERO RESCUE TAMASHII".
All this has stemmed from Asagi’s love of the show that defined her life: Super Sentai. She breathes, she eats, she sleeps, she dreams – in short, she LIVES Super Sentai. Her devotion to Super Sentai has sometimes bordered on the downright OBSESSIVE, like the infamous Shopping Spree of 2011 that left many a retailer on Japan several thousand dollars richer, store shelves empty, and has caused many less fortunate Super Sentai fans in much wailing and gnashing of teeth as stores waited to be restocked of their much beloved merchandise.
As is the case with many who are exposed to Japanese culture and are enamored by it, Asagi intersperses Japanese a lot into her speech, sometimes with unintelligible results. And one of Asagi’s pet peeves is in people bunching together Super Sentai with its Americanized counterpart Power Rangers, going out of her way to ‘educate’ people on the difference between the two franchises, and on how the latter is inferior to the origina-
-----
“Kay, what'd I tell you?"
“Sorry Glock… couldn’t resist.”
*backspace*
-----
… the two franchises.
Despite her many eccentricities (or perhaps because of it), Asagi is still well-loved by those closest to her, especially Mayura and Julie, and her unrelenting perseverance and determination has at least earned her the respect of many of her colleagues. Also, her unique brand of Super Sentai wisdom and energy has rubbed off a few people not only with Mayura and Julie, but most notably on the gunslinger pair Remington Smith and Colt Wesson, transforming them into the crack duo they are today.
Kay seems to share Asagi's resentment for Power Rangers. :heh:Is it just me, or do I sense some HxH innuendos from Syn? :heh:
That aside, she does seem well suited for spy work, infiltration and maybe assassination imho.
No, its not you. :p Syn has a lot of HxH elements oc-fied.
Btw the Spell Oven just churned these out:

Only one Doppelgänger can be created from each original and only Hayate, and not her Doppelgänger, can create other Doppelgängers. To create Doppelgängers from others, she'll need to have exact information of their biological and magical make-up.
So its a bit like creating a temporary 'guardian' right? Sounds plaussible.

That was, and still is, the idea :p.
Would she have Timebombs as well? :uhoh:
*runs*
That came to my mind as well. Then I realised that if I set it that way, we'll have a harem of Yagami Hayates in no time. Nanoha at "Zenryoku Zenkai!" mode might even pale in comparison.
That's like, plainly asking to haxx-busted :heh:.

Woops :heh:
And yep, works just fine indeed :nod:
Oooh, pretty. :love:
:nod:
Kay seems to share Asagi's resentment for Power Rangers. :heh:
As do I <_>
Yup, which is why their opinions both get along soooo well :heh:
Tk has not been around for some time, and the rest of us went easy on the new guy. A mistake I won't repeat again, mind you.
Actually Tk did post here awhile ago. The two posts was his h4xbuster opinion on ATC's stuff, putting it mildly. A mod deleted both for being pointless and off-topic. What's left of the original two posts are bits and pieces quoted by me Aaron and Wild Goose about other stuff.
Actually, the first thing that irked me was the 'amen' trigger. Yaten no Sho has a lot of norse influences, so seeing a christian trigger sounds wrong to me.
I had the impression Ancient Belka style had a lot of norse influence in general and brought it over to fanon as well. :heh:
Shame on the Accel Tector, Asagi would've loved to have one :heh:
And don't worry about Daibouken, her family has more than enough expertise and resources to create one themselves, though...
Asagi: What do you mean it'll take you a decade to build?!?!?! :upset:
:uhoh:Aurion: So was that MRR experiment, or Project SRX... :heh:
Well, with the oil running out, they have to expand into other businesses :heh: And with the number of worlds in Ordered Space and the number of possible future Otakus customers in all of them, well... :uhoh: Artei: But of course! :eyeglint:
I was thinking of making a Tachibana OC for that, but I decided that the Braummuhls made some of their dough by exporting manga and anime throughout the multiverse while sponsoring Celestial Being to ship their goods at Warp speed.
In fact, Asagi could've special-ordered all of the Super Sentai series from a Braummuhl's video rental branch...
:uhoh:
*ahem*
Then again, it's only a small part of the enterprise; their main seller is weapons and technology with their main posterboy being "Batman".
:uhoh:
:heh::heh::heh:
Haven't mentioned it in her profile yet, but...
As part of the elite on Midchilda, obviously Asagi's gonna have contact with the other families including the Braunmuhls... and unfortunately she doesn't get along with Artei that well for some reason :heh::uhoh:
:nod:Kha: I think we all could've guessed why... :heh:
... No "Armor Shedding" beforehand?
*RUNS*She's not interested in wearing all that at once, but the function is there. :nod:
I forgot to mention the Aura of Shafting's lingering effects? :uhoh:Artei: U... Uso... :eek:
:uhoh::uhoh::uhoh:
Beware, there's probably more to Matsuri than meets the eye :uhoh:I certainly hope she doesn't have a evil Haro... :uhoh:
What's the job? :nod:"Batman" needed to get his gear from somewhere, especially when he was starting out. Basically the first "Batsuit", the "Batmobile" and for A's Destiny, the "Batcycle"...
But you do know who I'm really talking about right? :uhoh:
Aaah I never really thought of Meer as a second Lacus :heh:
:uhoh::uhoh::uhoh::nod:
Yup, this is gonna take a while... :heh:
Just hope no dragons were harmed in the making of the movie :uhoh:I certainly hope so... But it will get ugly. :uhoh:
Asagi: Ne? Ne!! KOKORO TOMOYO!!!!!!!:D
Mayura: :heh: Sempai :heh: Himawari: Ah sou... Haha... :heh:
Asagi: But I really wonder, how come both of you look alike, but are practically polar opposites.
Hima: Eh- Eto... Can we not talk about this now...? :heh:
Mayuri: Hoho... Council President has a secret.
Hima: Eh? :twitch:
Julie: Masaka... :uhoh: Allie is--
Hima: (clamps down on Julie) Chotto! I don't like where this is going, and it's DEFINITELY not what you girls are thinking of!!!
Though it might give him points in Asagi's eyes :heh:
... how old is Taiyo anyway? :nod:He's pretty young, about 14. The one still pretty much in training, but he has completed most of his basic training, so all that's left is grinding in the Plaguelands. :nod:
Wow, Nove's getting some quality upgrades there :twitch:That's actually taken from the Nakajima sisters, who were passively upgraded while I was Rebuilding them. :uhoh:
And so both girls have drills mounted on external knuckle armor that can be fired off without losing the whole lower arm :uhoh:, and later Subaru's Limiter Break will see her in full Gingasic glory. :uhoh::uhoh:
Julie: ... Himitsu...
Mayura: Wait a minute...

Very unbelievable to be honest. Is it really necissary?I'm trying to get Arisa and Suzuka off-planet and I decided that magic can let people travel, I'm sure super-riches coupled with knowledge of the TSAB can grease their way through the Movements Investigation Bureau (MIB). :heh:

Actually Tk did post here awhile ago. The two posts was his h4xbuster opinion on ATC's stuff, putting it mildly. A mod deleted both for being pointless and off-topic. What's left of the original two posts are bits and pieces quoted by me Aaron and Wild Goose about other stuff.
...Oh well. But isn't rating of characters part and parcel of this thread or something? And if I read some earlier pages of this thing, ATC isn't the first to come up with a gattler, is he?
*Jots down more notes*
Xena's List of Things to Do (II):
4. Write nothing that attempts to incorporate elements of modern heavy automatic machinery into anything more powerful than the average generic magic device.
I had the impression Ancient Belka style had a lot of norse influence in general and brought it over to fanon as well. :heh:
It does, but they germanized a lot of things, so sometimes I felt I was dealing with Visigoths rather than Vikings :D
First try on a OC, it took me longer than I expected.
Hero in Disguise has brought up the idea of a TSAB Intelligence Department, along with its ranks, sections and their respective roles.
So I decided to play along.

Personality
When it comes to strangers, Roland comes as a discreet and laid back individual. He doesn't want to draw attention to him, hence he have gone for the intelligence department when he joined the TSAB.
But once he got in, he worked just enough to get to the ranks allowing him to carry his device but was severely underperforming when it comes to climb the higher ladder of the intelligence. department.
His superiors has tagged him with a slacker or "good potential but too much 'laissez aller' for any progress to ranks with a lot of responsibility" kind of label, excepted when it comes to the study of ancient relics or lost logia.
One thing was sure about him, he is a materialist, he doesn't believe much in the ideals that brought the TSAB in existence. Therefore, he was deeply involved in what seems to be harmless deals to got a little more than his usual income.
However, he is fiercely loyal to his comrades and will go to any lenght to help them.
Personal History
Roland's grandfather was a famous TSAB enforcer. His dedication to justice and great sense of honor earned the "Lion of the TSAB" nickname. Unfortunately, he fell from grace when one of his many enemies set a conspiracy in motion, leading Roland's grandfather to be framed then stripped of his enforcer rank. The grandfather was then forced to retire.
While the young Roland was an ambitious person at heart, the dishonor of his grandfather have drawn him to the conclusion that the secret of happiness is to not draw unwanted attention. Hence he never fought back when he was bullied at school. Instead, he worked harder as an apprentice mage under the relunctant teaching of his grandfather, but also as a fighter.
In school, he always ranked in fourth or fifth place, teachers has then noted about him that he was performing way under his true abilities.
The fact that he joined TSAB, in despite of the infamy left on his name, was a weird combination of luck, work and "behind the curtains" influence from the few people who believed that his grandfather could have been framed.
Upon joining the TSAB, he proved he could be a valuable trump thanks to his magic based on the manipulation of shadows as a mean to spy on people, conceal things or plain annoyance.
As for the period between before and after StrikerS:
Roland has been deeply involved in the illegal trafic of relics, using his own shadow as a pocket dimension to conceal what he wanted to smuggle. He is not at the head of this shady business, being not enough intelligent for that, and have done the best he could to not get caught. As a consequence, he tries to avoid the likes of Acous but it is a matter of time before people start to talk. Because of his general behavior, suspicions over him has been on the low side of the spectrum.
He doesn't have ill intentions, his motives are purely based on money. He looks at the ideals animating the Aces with an amused look, even tho deep inside him, he envy them.
A passionate speech from any of the Ace or Strikers may be needed to bring him back to the right way.
Roland's general fighting and magic style
Roland tries to avoid direct confrontations as much as possible. In close quarter combat, he uses his fencing and savate training to avoid getting hit, occasionally using his shadow magic to pull him out of troubles called Starlight Breaker. His shadow magic was also used to paralyze opponents in the same fashion as binding spells.
Roland's shadow magic is pretty weak when used in daylight, but strong when it is nighttime or when Roland is in a very dark place.
Roland never developed a bombardement-type spell.
Roland's Armed Device
Roland's weapon with a customized Armed Device that speak French instead of German. Outisde of that, there are not any notable features about it. And that's what Roland wished.
Roland's Barrier Jacket
He never considered to design one.
Roland's view on canon characters
Nanoha A truly terrifying character. I am glad I am not under her command.
Fate I think she is too sweet for her current assignation.
Hayate Her weird antics kinda scares me.
Chrono He is okay I guess.
Yuuno A helpful lad. That's what I got from the times I met him in the Library when I needed some informations.
Lindy I admit it, age-defying mothers turns me on.
Signum Someone you dont want to fight on the battlefield.
Vita They are turning the TSAB into a kindergarten or what?
Shamal Good as a nurse, that's about it.
Zafira Hayate has the perfect bodyguard. Who can expect a dog to turn into a very capable fighter?
Reinforce Zwei What's that weird little thing?
Roland doesn't have any opinion on the other canon characters.
Design notes and inspiration
My first try at an OC in nanohaverse or any animeverse ever. I could have gone for the fierce hired killer found in many spy movie but I did not. He is loosely based on the slacker template with a "Dont want to draw unwanted attention" twist a la Kira Yoshikage from JoJo Part 4.
The pic is shamelessly ripped from a pic from Ragnarok Online.
The shadow idea is from Zato-1-One from Guilty Gear without the elements of abomination that made Zato the overpowered monster he has become.
Roland is a fairly common french name while Rafale is taken from the french aircraft.
Flamberge was the name of the sword of the french knight Renaud de Montauban.

There is IMO, an overtendency for people to treat any attempt to criticize a new creation on technical grounds "off-topic" and demand that we push it off to Magic & Technology, never mind that the issue is often not an issue with Nanoha canon, but the OC character.
Concidering this thread is currently on the moderators 'to watch' list for that very reason (point in case Tk's deleted posts) I'd say that is a very valid reason. None of us want to see this thread closed.

HELL YEAH!
Btw the Spell Oven just churned these out:
Doppelgänger
A high level spell that allows Hayate to create an almost exact copy of anyone, including herself. While this spell has various uses (including creating a sparing partner), Hayate usually use it in combat to create another her to keep the opposition occupied while she works on her more powerful and time-consuming spells. Only one Doppelgänger can be created from each original and only Hayate, and not her Doppelgänger, can create other Doppelgängers. To create Doppelgängers from others, she'll need to have exact information of their biological and magical make-up.
Planet Cracker (kudos to those who can guess where this name came from ;))
A ceremonial magick which is considered to be the most damaging AoE spell in Hayate's arsenal, the Planet Cracker was originally an experiment to find out how far she could push Ragnarok's limits. As the intonation of the aria begins, a huge white Belkan Hexagram materialises over the intended spot and emits a glow that gradually intensifies as it absorbs the Lifeforce from its surroundings. As the trigger ("Amen") is spoken, pillars of concentrated incinerating light blast forth from the centre and its six points, punching deeply into the earth with a deafening roar. Nothing is spared, and where the pillars do not come into direct contact, the raw energy burns in the wildly disturbed atmosphere will rend most asunder without fail. As the bombardment continues, the Hexagram will slowly rotate, covering any blindspots and, if Hayate can manage it, move while incinerating the land below.
While in terms of power it is nowhere close to weapons like the Arc En Ciel, it far surpass all other attack spells in area and damage, earning the undisputed rank of SSS. Understandably, the Planet Cracker has been labelled as a Forbidden Magick, and Hayate is banned from using it to its full potential (the maximum size of the Hexagram is recorded as 3 km radii from the centre at full power; she is only allow to use up to 1km radii, and even then she needs approval from her superiors to use that).
Of course not that Hayate herself could use it freely in the very first place (as with most of her original spells, she brainstormed/daydreamed the idea before actually going into the details, a practice instilled into her by her teacher Leanne Sidhe). The mana expenditure for this spell is astronomic even for her, and alone conjuring the 1km radii version requires max output and concentration, along with reinforcement from all nine layers of the Draupnir spell. However, if she creates a Doppelganger beforehand and works together with it, the full-powered Planet Cracker will be achievable.
The first spell, I intend to keep it, since it seems quite useful. But of course I don't expect Hayate to use it perfectly from the start. 8 years is a good enough period to polish stuff up, hmm.
The second one though.... :heh:
*runs from haxx-busters*
:eek::eek::eek:
:bow::bow::bow:
Awesome work, Estavali!:D:D:D:bow:
The first spell just needs a bit more details on limits. But it's fine. And the second spell's :eek::eek::eek: HAXXful!!!:eek: And the Amen seems to contradict the Norse theme.:heh:
When I created Syn, the plan from the very beginning was to make her Vivio's 'Fate'. So expect heavy borderline suggestive situations, and concidering Syn's bluntness, beyond borderline comments. :p
Though I wonder... by 'hot grown-up Vivio/Syn action' could you by chance mean... something like this?

The base pic for Syn, and the template from which I designed her in the first place, is Lindy (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y191/Liinna/Nanoha/95072_e7ea62767157d227d716634dc7b5f.jpg).
Noted.:D
And duly noted, with her parents being high ranked, them knowing Aurion shouldn't be difficult. And Syn is guaranteed to know Aurion, being Vivio's friend.
Am thinking of how they should interact right now!:D:D:D

*runs from haxx-busters*
For that first spell, it seems fine but perhaps the doppelganger should be ranked 2-3 ranks down like that of Tracing in F/SN.
Actually for the 2nd spell, I think its a bit on the weak side for a SSS spell as Hrćsvelgr seems to have a damage radius larger than 2km already. I think you can double the damage radius.
First try on a OC, it took me longer than I expected.

Looks interesting and quite well done imho. Not too sure about that shadow magics but I'll wait to see what definite spells and abilities he has first before commenting on it. Also, is his device a gunblade? Sounds like one to me.

Doing some research... I will just note in short that Conventional Weapons systems are not banned.
It is MASS BASED weapons that are Generally Forbiddon
And MASS BASED weapons are defined by Dialogue from Fate, as "Physical Matter that strikes the enemy, or explodes..."
I won't go into details, but those lines give loopholes to be exploited large enough to drive Bagger 288 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagger_288) through.
I'll save those details for Coopers thoughts on TSAB Regulations...
VWGlbWvCrIQ
@ Estavali:
I like those spells. Dopple has a good set of limitations on it to keep the Shadow Clone Spam to a minimum. Incidently, are the Dopples SOLID? I can imagine a good solid dopple of someone really good at H2H combat being invaluble to her.
As for Planet Cracker, I think that while a good destructive spell, the name is misleading. At MAX size of 3 km, it's hardly city or continent cracking, let alone planet. I'd suggest a name more along the lines of 'PILLARS OF __________' Or 'WHEEL OF ________' since your two main features of this spell are pillars of pure death, that spin like a wheel.
I can't help but feel I've seen something similar to that before, I think in a video game... A boss of some kind would deploy orbs that would spin about unleashing lightning death to the player character and would have to be avoided...
@ Koreko:
That was a quick and dirty photoshop? O_o?

As a consequence, he tries to avoid the likes of Acous but it is a matter of time before people start to talk. Because of his general behavior, suspicions over him has been on the low side of the spectrum.
He doesn't have ill intentions, his motives are purely based on money. He looks at the ideals animating the Aces with an amused look, even tho deep inside him, he envy them.
A passionate speech from any of the Ace or Strikers may be needed to bring him back to the right way.
Roland's general fighting and magic style
Roland tries to avoid direct confrontations as much as possible. In close quarter combat, he uses his fencing and savate training to avoid getting hit, occasionally using his shadow magic to pull him out of troubles called Starlight Breaker. His shadow magic was also used to paralyze opponents in the same fashion as binding spells.
Roland's shadow magic is pretty weak when used in daylight, but strong when it is nighttime or when Roland is in a very dark place.
Roland never developed a bombardement-type spell.
Roland's Armed Device
Roland's weapon with a customized Armed Device that speak French instead of German. Outisde of that, there are not any notable features about it. And that's what Roland wished.
Roland's Barrier Jacket
He never considered to design one.
Roland's view on canon characters
Nanoha A truly terrifying character. I am glad I am not under her command.
Fate I think she is too sweet for her current assignation.
Hayate Her weird antics kinda scares me.
Chrono He is okay I guess.
Yuuno A helpful lad. That's what I got from the times I met him in the Library when I needed some informations.
Lindy I admit it, age-defying mothers turns me on.
Signum Someone you dont want to fight on the battlefield.
Vita They are turning the TSAB into a kindergarten or what?
Shamal Good as a nurse, that's about it.
Zafira Hayate has the perfect bodyguard. Who can expect a dog to turn into a very capable fighter?
Reinforce Zwei What's that weird little thing?
Roland doesn't have any opinion on the other canon characters.
Design notes and inspiration
My first try at an OC in nanohaverse or any animeverse ever. I could have gone for the fierce hired killer found in many spy movie but I did not. He is loosely based on the slacker template with a "Dont want to draw unwanted attention" twist a la Kira Yoshikage from JoJo Part 4.
The pic is shamelessly ripped from a pic from Ragnarok Online.
The shadow idea is from Zato-1-One from Guilty Gear without the elements of abomination that made Zato the overpowered monster he has become.
Roland is a fairly common french name while Rafale is taken from the french aircraft.
Flamberge was the name of the sword of the french knight Renaud de Montauban.
It's pretty nice for a first try, and also a brave start for a new department. Would definitely want to see more of this fellow, he appears to have many interesting secrets...
Can someone please direct me to the original post about the Intelligence Dept? I suddenly feel up to some...bandwagon jumping antics too.
Thanks!
I can't help but feel I've seen something similar to that before, I think in a video game... A boss of some kind would deploy orbs that would spin about unleashing lightning death to the player character and would have to be avoided...
Yeah, play Touhou. Bosses like that are a dime a dozen down there.
YOSHA
Finally finished the second part of Atsuki Boukenshaa's profile update, though this one covers her personality. Skills, Devices and Abilities to be covered next chapter :heh:
Personality:
If there’s one word to describe Asagi, it would be this:
EXTREME
Asagi is a person who lets her emotions take over and run wild in a rampage once something ignites her passions, and for maximum effect nothing gets her passions burning more than a good dose of Super Sentai.
She’s a person whose emotions and feelings reach the limits of the emotional spectrum: in a single moment she can experience the highest of highs, then crash into the lowest depths of depression, then a minute later rebound into a ball of energy like the best thing in the world just happened. And once her mind has been set on a particular task at hand Asagi’s persistence to complete it borders on the unbelievable: much like trying to stop a speeding truck with your bare hands, Asagi’s stubbornness in completing what she started is impossible, lest one is willing to become Superman to stop her. This stubbornness is legendary amongst everyone she meets, and especially her friends.
Along with these emotional highs Asagi has a flair for the dramatic bordering into the absurd. Given the choice between two equally effective plans in any situation, Asagi will choose the most direct method and transform it into the flashiest, most dramatic, most explosive operation ever complete with DYNAMIC ENTRY, HENSHIN, ROLL CALL and SPECIAL EFFECTS, and sparing no expense and pulling no punches in execution no matter how ludicrous the plan may sound on paper.
(Mayura and Julie call this the “Dynaman Syndrome”, aka “You can never have too many explosions”).
Thankfully her two friends refine her plans into a more sensible working draft before execution.
But full of energy doesn’t mean totally mindless: Asagi was raised as heir to a massive multi-million dollar industrial company built on technology, and as such has the smarts to participate in business and financially related matters, and when absolutely required she is able to play the role of the dainty, restrained and gentle young princess, graceful and elegant in manner and poise.
(It has been suggested that perhaps it’s the massive amounts of energy trapped and repressed when Asagi acts in such a manner that explains where her… explosive behavior afterwards.)
Still, for all her loud and rash behavior Asagi is surprisingly difficult to anger, perhaps due to the optimism she has acquired over the years, and her naturally forgiving nature (some have dubbed her the Goddess of Forgiveness for it). But as with everything she does, once her wrath has been released her fury shall not be sated until her grudge lies on the floor in the puddle of their own blood, preferably chopped up into tiny little pieces (Thankfully Mayura and Julie have prevented Asagi from progressing past the point of making the victim unrecognizable) – or she is appeased through a good showing of "MOERO RESCUE TAMASHII".
All this has stemmed from Asagi’s love of the show that defined her life: Super Sentai. She breathes, she eats, she sleeps, she dreams – in short, she LIVES Super Sentai. Her devotion to Super Sentai has sometimes bordered on the downright OBSESSIVE, like the infamous Shopping Spree of 2011 that left many a retailer on Japan several thousand dollars richer, store shelves empty, and has caused many less fortunate Super Sentai fans in much wailing and gnashing of teeth as stores waited to be restocked of their much beloved merchandise.
As is the case with many who are exposed to Japanese culture and are enamored by it, Asagi intersperses Japanese a lot into her speech, sometimes with unintelligible results. And one of Asagi’s pet peeves is in people bunching together Super Sentai with its Americanized counterpart Power Rangers, going out of her way to ‘educate’ people on the difference between the two franchises, and on how the latter is inferior to the origina-
-----
“Kay, what'd I tell you?"
“Sorry Glock… couldn’t resist.”
*backspace*
-----
… the two franchises.
Despite her many eccentricities (or perhaps because of it), Asagi is still well-loved by those closest to her, especially Mayura and Julie, and her unrelenting perseverance and determination has at least earned her the respect of many of her colleagues. Also, her unique brand of Super Sentai wisdom and energy has rubbed off a few people not only with Mayura and Julie, but most notably on the gunslinger pair Remington Smith and Colt Wesson, transforming them into the crack duo they are today.
XDDD I love this character. Sounds like a giant ball of energy :D .
Hmm, interesting. Though imho scene 2 seems a bit out of place in the flow, but then again maybe it's just me.
Vivio's pented-up anger and her reliance (?) on Syn for comfort and confirmation is nicely brought out, and methinks scene 3 highlights the stress she has been accumulating form those 8 years. Given her character, if Nanoha hadn't gone into her slums, the social stigma (?) Vivio's receiving from her peers wouldn't have much of an effect, but since her mother isn't in a position to support her....
Good job, and more please :).
:heh: Well, it is disjointed, to be fair. However, it shows a concurrence. The first three plots, and then the fourth, all happen at the same time; The Out of Shadow/Into Light arc (Nanoha and Vivio's) is meant to be full of drama with a little action to punctuate said drama, and builds up our title character for the second half of the story. The second arc, White Tempest, is a giant information dump that not only gives a certain character time in the limelight (*coughcoughHayatecoughcough*), but will allow the reader to understand what the hell is going on, especially during the second half (it could be said that some of the info found in this arc would be required lest the plot make no sense XD).
The Third Arc (Unnamed as of now), focuses on the OFM, mine and Goose's OCs, although there is light interception of other people's OCs (Keroko's first appearance in the story actually starts off this arc), and provides another backdrop; one that will become integral to the story proper, especially in the second half. Finally, the Investigation of Sin arc, one that doesn't actually start for a couple chapters, focuses on what I believe to be an unlikely duo (Fate and Acous, later Teana) gallavanting throughout Ordered Space to try and solve a few mysteries. This arc is intended to be borderline thriller/mystery with a good bit of survival horror thrown in for good measure.
Moving on, as you've noted, and as Keroko says later, I believe, Syn is to Fate as Vivio is to Nanoha. Innuendo is over nine-thousand.
Btw the Spell Oven just churned these out:
Doppelgänger
A high level spell that allows Hayate to create an almost exact copy of anyone, including herself. While this spell has various uses (including creating a sparing partner), Hayate usually use it in combat to create another her to keep the opposition occupied while she works on her more powerful and time-consuming spells. Only one Doppelgänger can be created from each original and only Hayate, and not her Doppelgänger, can create other Doppelgängers. To create Doppelgängers from others, she'll need to have exact information of their biological and magical make-up.
Planet Cracker (kudos to those who can guess where this name came from ;))
A ceremonial magick which is considered to be the most damaging AoE spell in Hayate's arsenal, the Planet Cracker was originally an experiment to find out how far she could push Ragnarok's limits. As the intonation of the aria begins, a huge white Belkan Hexagram materialises over the intended spot and emits a glow that gradually intensifies as it absorbs the Lifeforce from its surroundings. As the trigger ("Amen") is spoken, pillars of concentrated incinerating light blast forth from the centre and its six points, punching deeply into the earth with a deafening roar. Nothing is spared, and where the pillars do not come into direct contact, the raw energy burns in the wildly disturbed atmosphere will rend most asunder without fail. As the bombardment continues, the Hexagram will slowly rotate, covering any blindspots and, if Hayate can manage it, move while incinerating the land below.
While in terms of power it is nowhere close to weapons like the Arc En Ciel, it far surpass all other attack spells in area and damage, earning the undisputed rank of SSS. Understandably, the Planet Cracker has been labelled as a Forbidden Magick, and Hayate is banned from using it to its full potential (the maximum size of the Hexagram is recorded as 3 km radii from the centre at full power; she is only allow to use up to 1km radii, and even then she needs approval from her superiors to use that).
Of course not that Hayate herself could use it freely in the very first place (as with most of her original spells, she brainstormed/daydreamed the idea before actually going into the details, a practice instilled into her by her teacher Leanne Sidhe). The mana expenditure for this spell is astronomic even for her, and alone conjuring the 1km radii version requires max output and concentration, along with reinforcement from all nine layers of the Draupnir spell. However, if she creates a Doppelganger beforehand and works together with it, the full-powered Planet Cracker will be achievable.
The first spell, I intend to keep it, since it seems quite useful. But of course I don't expect Hayate to use it perfectly from the start. 8 years is a good enough period to polish stuff up, hmm.
The second one though.... :heh:
*runs from haxx-busters*
I'm loving both of them. Doppelganger might be useful... >.>
When I created Syn, the plan from the very beginning was to make her Vivio's 'Fate'. So expect heavy borderline suggestive situations, and concidering Syn's bluntness, beyond borderline comments. :p
Though I wonder... by 'hot grown-up Vivio/Syn action' could you by chance mean... something like this?
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y191/Liinna/Nanoha/SynVivio-1.png
XDDD How sexy :3 .
Vivio: "...not gonna happen."
Syn: "Oh come on~"
Vivio: *blushing* "S-SYN!!!"
Syn: "Ahaha~ Easy to tease as ever, V."
Hmm, I can certainly imagine Mandy doing the OFM a favour by reassigning Master Chief to them. Mandy sees the merrit of a unit like the OFM, and being on good terms with them can only work out in the long run.
Go for it. :D
Will do.
It would have been handy if you had written down the background and reasons for this blatant exception to what passes as the law on Mid-Childa before you went and created crazy scenarios. Right now everything sounds far from believable, and high in the 'I want it, so it is' ranks.
I am not fond of any facillity having large stockpiles of various conventional weaponry at all. This clearly goes against canon, no matter how you try to sugar-coat it with 'but its the most logical thing to do' Conventional weaponry is banned and if you want to be an exception to the rule, then you have to think of a very good background for being able to do so.
As Goose and I did with the OFM, though really it was he and TK that hammered out those details. I suck when it comes to stuff like that, I just write stories (It's not that I don't do the research, I just make others do it for me :heh: .)
The only one begging for a NanoFate was Haru (I love it when he tries the 'I lost interest in your fic' emotional blackmail route) the rest of them are curious on how things turn out.
Indeed. I wasn't gonna name any names though :uhoh: .
Tk has not been around for some time, and the rest of us went easy on the new guy. A mistake I won't repeat again, mind you.
About TK... I PM'd him about the whole issue, and his response was... well, interesting. Suffice to say that thanks to the mod police we won't be seeing him much.
Secondly, Goose is trying his hand at haxxbusting. Maybe he will do well *glares* he better do well.
First try on a OC, it took me longer than I expected.
Hero in Disguise has brought up the idea of a TSAB Intelligence Department, along with its ranks, sections and their respective roles.
So I decided to play along.

Personality
When it comes to strangers, Roland comes as a discreet and laid back individual. He doesn't want to draw attention to him, hence he have gone for the intelligence department when he joined the TSAB.
But once he got in, he worked just enough to get to the ranks allowing him to carry his device but was severely underperforming when it comes to climb the higher ladder of the intelligence. department.
His superiors has tagged him with a slacker or "good potential but too much 'laissez aller' for any progress to ranks with a lot of responsibility" kind of label, excepted when it comes to the study of ancient relics or lost logia.
One thing was sure about him, he is a materialist, he doesn't believe much in the ideals that brought the TSAB in existence. Therefore, he was deeply involved in what seems to be harmless deals to got a little more than his usual income.
However, he is fiercely loyal to his comrades and will go to any lenght to help them.
Personal History
Roland's grandfather was a famous TSAB enforcer. His dedication to justice and great sense of honor earned the "Lion of the TSAB" nickname. Unfortunately, he fell from grace when one of his many enemies set a conspiracy in motion, leading Roland's grandfather to be framed then stripped of his enforcer rank. The grandfather was then forced to retire.
While the young Roland was an ambitious person at heart, the dishonor of his grandfather have drawn him to the conclusion that the secret of happiness is to not draw unwanted attention. Hence he never fought back when he was bullied at school. Instead, he worked harder as an apprentice mage under the relunctant teaching of his grandfather, but also as a fighter.
In school, he always ranked in fourth or fifth place, teachers has then noted about him that he was performing way under his true abilities.
The fact that he joined TSAB, in despite of the infamy left on his name, was a weird combination of luck, work and "behind the curtains" influence from the few people who believed that his grandfather could have been framed.
Upon joining the TSAB, he proved he could be a valuable trump thanks to his magic based on the manipulation of shadows as a mean to spy on people, conceal things or plain annoyance.
As for the period between before and after StrikerS:
Roland has been deeply involved in the illegal trafic of relics, using his own shadow as a pocket dimension to conceal what he wanted to smuggle. He is not at the head of this shady business, being not enough intelligent for that, and have done the best he could to not get caught. As a consequence, he tries to avoid the likes of Acous but it is a matter of time before people start to talk.

He doesn't have ill intentions, his motives are purely based on money. He looks at the ideals animating the Aces with an amused look, even tho deep inside him, he envy them.

Very nice for a first try! I'm not seeing anything wrong at all in terms of power and ability, and he doesn't even seem to be connected to the OCs, save for Yuuno by a little bit.
You get bonus points for the name Rafale as well. :D .
As do I <_>
Yup, which is why their opinions both get along soooo well :heh:
I can imagine. Common hatred creates bonds.
Actually Tk did post here awhile ago. The two posts was his h4xbuster opinion on ATC's stuff, putting it mildly. A mod deleted both for being pointless and off-topic. What's left of the original two posts are bits and pieces quoted by me Aaron and Wild Goose about other stuff.
Hence why we point too detailed technobable to the tech thread these days.
I had the impression Ancient Belka style had a lot of norse influence in general and brought it over to fanon as well. :heh:
With the wolkies and all the blatant norse names tossed around, its not a matter of 'impression' :heh: Seriously, Ragnarok Breaker, need you get more obvious?
Cheap, MILFy, but :nod: nonetheless.
*runs*
Nothin wrong with MILF, though.
I'm trying to get Arisa and Suzuka off-planet and I decided that magic can let people travel, I'm sure super-riches coupled with knowledge of the TSAB can grease their way through the Movements Investigation Bureau (MIB). :heh:
.... Okay, so why go through all the pain of creating the very unbelievable 'robot tading grandfather' while you have a blatantly obvious (so obvious that even we are wondering why Seven Arcs didn't use it) option available? Just let them tag along with Nanoha & Co.
Talk about da payne... :eyespin:
Pain? hardly.
4. Write nothing that attempts to incorporate elements of modern heavy automatic machinery into anything more powerful than the average generic magic device.
That's a smart one to follow. :heh: Even though its a magical weapon (and hence, obviously should function differently) some people here are still conviced they are subject to the exact same advantages and disadvantages of their normal counterparts.:eyespin::eyespin::eyespin:

Heeeh? An antagonist, huh? That certainly increases the interest rate of this character tremendously. :D Is he by chance the one responsible for the Relic incident at the airport?
Am thinking of how they should interact right now!:D:D:D
Hmm, Syn loves to backtalk, but I can't see them have intelectual conversations of Tesla and Aurion's level.
This requires a bit more thought. :heh:
Actually for the 2nd spell, I think its a bit on the weak side for a SSS spell as Hrćsvelgr seems to have a damage radius larger than 2km already. I think you can double the damage radius.
You mean a single blast? That was hardly 2 km. 200 meter, maybe, but even that sounds stretching to me.
Doing some research... I will just note in short that Conventional Weapons systems are not banned.
It is MASS BASED weapons that are Generally Forbiddon
And MASS BASED weapons are defined by Dialogue from Fate, as "Physical Matter that strikes the enemy, or explodes..."
I won't go into details, but those lines give loopholes to be exploited large enough to drive Bagger 288 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagger_288) through.
No, please do go into details, because right now your arguments are filled with holes I could pilot a Death Star (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Death_Star) through.
Also, source? Fate clearly says 'physical weapons that don't use magic.' Nukes, misiles, mines, mortars, grenades, guns, all such weapons fall into those categories, hence all such weapons are banned.
As for Planet Cracker, I think that while a good destructive spell, the name is misleading. At MAX size of 3 km, it's hardly city or continent cracking, let alone planet. I'd suggest a name more along the lines of 'PILLARS OF __________' Or 'WHEEL OF ________' since your two main features of this spell are pillars of pure death, that spin like a wheel.
I agree, the name is really misleading. Also, Planet Cracker doesn't sound really like Hayate.
@ Koreko:
That was a quick and dirty photoshop? O_o?
What's one with time actually taken?
If I take time? Then things like this (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y191/Liinna/Nanoha/Keroko_Profile_Background.png), this (http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/7673/kerokofinalob9.jpg) or this one (http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/2972/strikersnano01mm2.png) come out.
The 4koma took me the longest, for obvious reasons.
Moving on, as you've noted, and as Keroko says later, I believe, Syn is to Fate as Vivio is to Nanoha. Innuendo is over nine-thousand.
:nod: The fact that Syn is as blunt as a brick when it comes to said innuendo isn't helping either. :D
XDDD How sexy :3 .
Vivio: "...not gonna happen."

As Goose and I did with the OFM, though really it was he and TK that hammered out those details. I suck when it comes to stuff like that, I just write stories (It's not that I don't do the research, I just make others do it for me :heh: .)
I do my research. Just... not as much as some people do. :heh: (for example, I don't care that tecnically energy to matter conversion is impossible, :eyespin: we see it happen in Nanoha so I wing it.)
About TK... I PM'd him about the whole issue, and his response was... well, interesting. Suffice to say that thanks to the mod police we won't be seeing him much.
Eh, he'll be back. He's like a boomerang.
Secondly, Goose is trying his hand at haxxbusting. Maybe he will do well *glares* he better do well.

Doing some research... I will just note in short that Conventional Weapons systems are not banned.
It is MASS BASED weapons that are Generally Forbiddon
And MASS BASED weapons are defined by Dialogue from Fate, as "Physical Matter that strikes the enemy, or explodes..."
I won't go into details, but those lines give loopholes to be exploited large enough to drive Bagger 288 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagger_288) through.
I'll save those details for Coopers thoughts on TSAB Regulations...

Tigerclaw, while Fate did say those weapons are Generally Forbidden, you forgot to mention that "Ever since their founding, the TSA has, for peace and safety, rooted out those weapons..." Also what you're saying is nothing but sophistry in my opinion.
You mean a single blast? That was hardly 2 km. 200 meter, maybe, but even that sounds stretching to me.
:Shrug: My sense of scale is rather bad so I'll take your word for it.
No, please do go into details, because right now your arguments are filled with holes I could pilot a Death Star (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Death_Star) through.
Also, source? Fate clearly says 'physical weapons that don't use magic.' Nukes, misiles, mines, mortars, grenades, guns, all such weapons fall into those categories, hence all such weapons are banned.
I agree with Keroko, please do take the time to go into details.

As for Syn... maybe a polearm of some sort? I suggest a Glaive (http://medieval.ucdavis.edu/20C/glaive.gif), since you don't see any here in Outer Cadia and because it may fit (not to mention subtle Sailor Saturn references XD ).
Actually, my OC Shamsel using a Device very similar to a Glaive called a Naginta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naginta).
:twitch::twitch::twitch::twitch: That's gotta be one of the most wack things I've ever seen. And I've seen quite a bit.
Oh it's not that bad. Then again I really like and understand a good chunk of Evangelion :eyespin:

Dr. Akagi better not meet Asagi though... or there's gonna be much blood spilled :uhoh:
Admiral Janeway was just too awesome NOT to use :D.
Lol, so Ryoutaro emerges? *chuckles* Interesting take on Kamen Rider, and I wonder how Aurion will feel, looking at all the belt devices.... Nice one. It's gonna be interesting when he meets Akira, thats for sure.
He doesn't emerge, he ARRIVES :D. And yes...a meeting needs to be...arranged *Gendo Pose*

Oh...and a little sample of what Ryotaro can do:
2lUY2qnGlqs
Btw the Spell Oven just churned these out:
Doppelgänger
A high level spell that allows Hayate to create an almost exact copy of anyone, including herself. While this spell has various uses (including creating a sparing partner), Hayate usually use it in combat to create another her to keep the opposition occupied while she works on her more powerful and time-consuming spells. Only one Doppelgänger can be created from each original and only Hayate, and not her Doppelgänger, can create other Doppelgängers. To create Doppelgängers from others, she'll need to have exact information of their biological and magical make-up.
Planet Cracker (kudos to those who can guess where this name came from ;))
A ceremonial magick which is considered to be the most damaging AoE spell in Hayate's arsenal, the Planet Cracker was originally an experiment to find out how far she could push Ragnarok's limits. As the intonation of the aria begins, a huge white Belkan Hexagram materialises over the intended spot and emits a glow that gradually intensifies as it absorbs the Lifeforce from its surroundings. As the trigger ("Amen") is spoken, pillars of concentrated incinerating light blast forth from the centre and its six points, punching deeply into the earth with a deafening roar. Nothing is spared, and where the pillars do not come into direct contact, the raw energy burns in the wildly disturbed atmosphere will rend most asunder without fail. As the bombardment continues, the Hexagram will slowly rotate, covering any blindspots and, if Hayate can manage it, move while incinerating the land below.
While in terms of power it is nowhere close to weapons like the Arc En Ciel, it far surpass all other attack spells in area and damage, earning the undisputed rank of SSS. Understandably, the Planet Cracker has been labelled as a Forbidden Magick, and Hayate is banned from using it to its full potential (the maximum size of the Hexagram is recorded as 3 km radii from the centre at full power; she is only allow to use up to 1km radii, and even then she needs approval from her superiors to use that).
Of course not that Hayate herself could use it freely in the very first place (as with most of her original spells, she brainstormed/daydreamed the idea before actually going into the details, a practice instilled into her by her teacher Leanne Sidhe). The mana expenditure for this spell is astronomic even for her, and alone conjuring the 1km radii version requires max output and concentration, along with reinforcement from all nine layers of the Draupnir spell. However, if she creates a Doppelganger beforehand and works together with it, the full-powered Planet Cracker will be achievable.
The first spell, I intend to keep it, since it seems quite useful. But of course I don't expect Hayate to use it perfectly from the start. 8 years is a good enough period to polish stuff up, hmm.
The second one though.... :heh:
*runs from haxx-busters*
Interesting...so is that an Easy Bake model? :heh:
Spells seem to fit her combat style...and I don't want to get in her way when she uses Planet Cracker :uhoh:
Well, as long as you have enough Pylons...
When I created Syn, the plan from the very beginning was to make her Vivio's 'Fate'. So expect heavy borderline suggestive situations, and concidering Syn's bluntness, beyond borderline comments. :p
Though I wonder... by 'hot grown-up Vivio/Syn action' could you by chance mean... something like this?

???: *scratches his bed hair* Okay, I'm sorry, it just slipped my mind. Tell me, what was it?
Xena: Your name is Ashcroft. Ashcroft Ravenholm.
Ashcroft: IT IS? I thought my name was Shawshank or Arkham or something...

My first OC should be ready by tomorrow, if all goes well, although details on his department and unit and such are probably missing, since I still have little to no idea about what the Intel Dept is about.

Go into detail?
Fine. I'll go into detail.
1 -
The TSA Generally forbids the use of Mass based weapons.
LOOPHOLE: 'Generally', in 'Generally Forbids', implies that not all mass based weapons are forbiddon in all situations. This implies that in Special Circumstances, MBWs can be authorized or tolerated.
CASE IN POINT: Vita has a mass based weapon attack, Swallow Flier, which sends magically created solid iron balls to smack up a target. She uses this attack, even in StrikerS, which shows that she is a special case. It may be because the attack generates little to no collatteral. It may be because nobody realizes what she's using as a weapon.
2 -
I guess you could say they're physical weapons that don't use magic, maybe.
*Pause, cut to 'horrors of war' pictures*
Firing physical matter that strikes the enemy, or explodes...
LOOPHOLE: Weapons classified as using physical matter to strike the enemy are off limits. However, so long as the weapon in question uses magic to inflict damage, it gets past this loophole in the logic. Therefore, the mechanisms and special principles of a weapon do not matter, only how it inflicts damage matters.
Ever since its founding, the TSA has, for peace and safety, rooted out those weapons and started to regulate the use of Lost Logia
Being both clean and safe, magical civilization was recommended.
Thoughts: The TSAB preffer magic over mass based weapons, because magical weaponry can be put in SAFEMODE to prevent collatteral and loss of life.
Case in Point: Vice's sniper rifle Storm Raider was fired during a hostage situation. He botched the shot and hit the girl, which shows the use of the 'safe mode' of a magic attack. With a real, metal bullet firing sniper rifle, the girl he shot who only had a damaged eye would have had her brains blown out the back of her head.
That would have just plain DESTROYED him, rather than make him slightly depressed.
Conclusions
- Special Circumstances will allow for mass weapons to exist, be in possession, or even used by, certain people, in certain situations.
- A gun can be made legal, and has been, so long as it fires magic, not a solid bullet slug.
- A Missile can be made legal, so long as it does not contain a mass based (IE High Explosive) warhead to strike the target/inflict damage to the target. This renders a missile nothing more then a computer guided, rocket propelled, delivery vehicle/glorified device. The warhead can be a magic based mechanism with the same SAFEMODEs as magic attacks from the Intelligent Rods/Staffs/Swords/Hammers/GUNS/Powerfists/Jet Rollerblades/Rings/Gloves/Tonfers/Books/etc...
@ The Images:
Are those drawn from scratch? Or are you cutting and slashing from every source you can get your hands on and compiling from there? (Either way is good work so long as it looks good as a finished product.)
I might have to make you do the OC Cast I have for kicks. Be funny to see a collage of Crash, Fox, Roland, Don, Marilyn, Martin, and Cooper. :p
**Incidently, the names for Don and Martin are dirrived from the name Don Martin, a higher up where I work. I think he's director of operations for Austaco... but I'd have to double check the office roster.**

Here I go yet again. At 2AM IN THE FUCKING MORNING.
RAMPAGE GHOST: BACKLOG SHIIIFT!!!!
Actually Tk did post here awhile ago. The two posts was his h4xbuster opinion on ATC's stuff, putting it mildly. A mod deleted both for being pointless and off-topic. What's left of the original two posts are bits and pieces quoted by me Aaron and Wild Goose about other stuff.
I queried the mod in question, explaining that the posts were on-topic in the context of OC and that we desperately rely on TK's haxbusting; White Manju Bun replied to me that someone reported TK's posts as flaming, and the mods agreed it was flaming. White Manju Bun's interpretation of off-topic apparently stemmed from an unfamiliarity with OC, which I cleared up about, but remained adamant that it was a joint moderation team decision to delete the posts as they were flames. Which I feel is a great pity.
Also, we were pretty much waiting for TK to come in and return fire. ATC pretty much stated in either the Fanfic or Tech thread that he had more stamina and could outargue us all until the cows come home.
If only he could spellcheck and format properly... *sighs*
I had the impression Ancient Belka style had a lot of norse influence in general and brought it over to fanon as well. :heh:

*runs from haxx-busters*
TK isn't here! He's not around! But in our hearts and in our haxbuster rifles, he lives in OC still! So long as this heart beats, the spirit of Haxbuster lives in me!
...right, basically, spell No. 2 is much HAX. Keroko-kun mentioned the dichotomy in using "Amen" as the trigger; also, there is no freakin' way a single mage can do this... at least, as far as we've seen. So far. It's most assuredly hax and too overpowered.
If you have to ask if it's overpowered, it probably is. If you have to ask if it's hax, it most likely is. Remember that, people!
When I created Syn, the plan from the very beginning was to make her Vivio's 'Fate'. So expect heavy borderline suggestive situations, and concidering Syn's bluntness, beyond borderline comments. :p

Naomi: "Yes! What do they have that I don't which gives them those huge busts?!?!"
Franz: "I personally think it's psychological repression due to that time we nearly died together almost a year after you joined us..."
Hmm, I can certainly imagine Mandy doing the OFM a favour by reassigning Master Chief to them. Mandy sees the merrit of a unit like the OFM, and being on good terms with them can only work out in the long run.
Go for it. :D
Thanks :D The OFM timeline will now state for sure that Mandy reassigned Master Chief to the OFM as a favor. ^__^
Tk has not been around for some time, and the rest of us went easy on the new guy. A mistake I won't repeat again, mind you.
To be honest, I think more than a few of us also felt that the only person who could have haxbusted the new guy was TK. Once I saw the link to Spacebattles, I said, "Alright. fuck this, the only person who can haxbust this is TK."
First try on a OC, it took me longer than I expected.
Hero in Disguise has brought up the idea of a TSAB Intelligence Department, along with its ranks, sections and their respective roles.
So I decided to play along.
*snip*
I like how this charecter isn't too powerful, is trying not to make waves, and is actually a bad guy. *grins* And so long as he keeps a low profile, the OFM aren't going to be after him - unless he's a lead to bigger fish that they want to fry. Good first try, and bonus points for being named after the fighter. ^__^
Doing some research... I will just note in short that Conventional Weapons systems are not banned.
It is MASS BASED weapons that are Generally Forbiddon
And MASS BASED weapons are defined by Dialogue from Fate, as "Physical Matter that strikes the enemy, or explodes..."
I won't go into details, but those lines give loopholes to be exploited large enough to drive Bagger 288 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagger_288) through.
I'll save those details for Coopers thoughts on TSAB Regulations...
Fate's line says "Physical weapons that DO NOT USE MAGIC" (emphasis mine). Thus, this means that firearms are banned.
Frankly, given the wordings, plus the imagery of missiles and the like, it's very likely that conventional weapons as we know them are classified as mass-based weapons by the TSAB. ALL of our conventional weapons fire solid projectiles. Vita's Schwalbe Fliegen gets a pass because it is summoned by MAGIC.The same applies to the Armed Devices. Attacks by Armed Devices are magical-augmented melee, recognised as a magic style by TSAB.
Guns do NOT use magic. Thus, they are BANNED. If it's a weapon and it fires crap that penetrates or explodes and it uses physical ammunition and it does not use magic, it is BANNED. PERIOD. READ MY TEXT.
Before you start going talking about the OFM's Warthogs and Pelicans, here's something to note: All gatling-armed Warthog LRVs and the OFM's SINGLE Gauss Warthog are stored on the Aus'ruf, kept far away from TSAB inspections (and with some coverup help from Mandy - I just realised that since the Aus'ruf is technically part of the Navy and the OFM and Mandy appear to be having a good working relationship, personal feelings regardless, Mandy would probably want to help cover for them subtly, so that she can continue to make use of them). The only OFM assets stored on Mid-Childa are severa unarmed Troop Transport Warthogs and unarmed Pelicans. All weapons are kept to the lowest minimums possible, and can be quickly kept and secreted in case of surprise inspections.
Unlike ABNO, the OFM aren't flaunting the banned weapons.
To use another example: Hollowpoint ammunition is banned for military use. Thus, the US does not use hollowpoint ammunition in their frontline combat units. Even special forces use ball ammo for their rifles. The only units using hollowpoints for their SMGs - SOCOM & NAVSPECWAR - are the ones who do so quietly, not flaunting around their use of banned ammo.
I unfortunately have to go back to the OFM, because they're the most high-profile OC denizens with guns... The OFM keep their guns primarily for missions on non-administered worlds. Using guns on Mid-Childa would create a shitstorm and all sorts of uncomfortable questions. Which is EXACTLY what happens in the non-canon Divergent StrikerS. A humongous shitstorm occurs, and the OFM are nearly shut down for using banned weapons: Franz led a convoy of Warthog LRVs and a Scorpion through Mid-Childa to relieve the beseiged RF6 and Master Chief; the next week, Master Chief deployed in a Scorpion to repel Gadget Drones, and the Order's REMFs strapped on body armor, were issued MA5C assault rifles and .50cal MGs, and sent off to help hold the line. And they were nearly shut down - Franz, Erick and Glen pretty much watched their promotion prospects shrivel and die, and escaped court-martials by a very, very fine margin.
XDDD How sexy :3 .

Syn: "Oh come on~"
Vivio: *blushing* "S-SYN!!!"
Syn: "Ahaha~ Easy to tease as ever, V."

As Goose and I did with the OFM, though really it was he and TK that hammered out those details. I suck when it comes to stuff like that, I just write stories (It's not that I don't do the research, I just make others do it for me :heh: .)
You're better at the creation aspect than I am; I just get this flashes of inspiration that build up on the foundations of those who went before. Of course, we have eyes, going through the hole dug by those before, etc etc. And I am better at research.
About TK... I PM'd him about the whole issue, and his response was... well, interesting. Suffice to say that thanks to the mod police we won't be seeing him much.
Secondly, Goose is trying his hand at haxxbusting. Maybe he will do well *glares* he better do well.
I'm trying. TK is a lot better with haxxbusting and I've been trying to pick up from him. My talents are more towards haxxbustingplot/charecter and logic. And quite frankly, I'm rusty at arguing. But I'm working up.

You've just stated that the balls are created VIA MAGIC. Thus, this is not a conventional weapon, this is a magical weapon. Vita gets her pass because the Belkan style is recognised by the TSAB as being magically-augmented melee focused on physical attacks. Is that so hard to understand/accept?
2 -LOOPHOLE: Weapons classified as using physical matter to strike the enemy are off limits. However, so long as the weapon in question uses magic to inflict damage, it gets past this loophole in the logic. Therefore, the mechanisms and special principles of a weapon do not matter, only how it inflicts damage matters.
This is possible. Teana's Anchor Gun is apparently a breechloader, Storm Raider and Cross Mirage use feeding systems pulled from automatic weapons. At 3AM, I cannot see anything wrong wit this statement.
Thoughts: The TSAB preffer magic over mass based weapons, because magical weaponry can be put in SAFEMODE to prevent collatteral and loss of life.
Case in Point: Vice's sniper rifle Storm Raider was fired during a hostage situation. He botched the shot and hit the girl, which shows the use of the 'safe mode' of a magic attack. With a real, metal bullet firing sniper rifle, the girl he shot who only had a damaged eye would have had her brains blown out the back of her head.
That would have just plain DESTROYED him, rather than make him slightly depressed.Our impressions were that there are less people with magic than norms, and by taking away the conventional weapons of war used by the norms, the TSAB is maintaining a quilitative edge over insurrections/what have yous. Military thread, this is your fault. *scowls* This is also a possible and plausible senario.
and.... I still don't see how this is relevant to your case. In fact, it appears that you're bolstering the support for the ban on conventional weapons, for the exact reasons you've mentioned.
Conclusions
- Special Circumstances will allow for mass weapons to exist, be in possession, or even used by, certain people, in certain situations.
Incorrect. You're using Vita as your argument, but her Swallow Flier attack is a magically summoned attack. It uses magic to create the balls, and the balls disappear into ether/air when the magic runs out.
- A gun can be made legal, and has been, so long as it fires magic, not a solid bullet slug.
There is no evidence to support this. StrikerS media and the anime strongly imply that gun-shaped Device users are a small minority in the TSAB. It can thus be inferred that guns are still rare, not only because of the ban, but because of cultural issues. It is implied that the Mid-Childans nearly wiped themselves out with conventional weapons.
- A Missile can be made legal, so long as it does not contain a mass based (IE High Explosive) warhead to strike the target/inflict damage to the target. This renders a missile nothing more then a computer guided, rocket propelled, delivery vehicle/glorified device. The warhead can be a magic based mechanism with the same SAFEMODEs as magic attacks from the Intelligent Rods/Staffs/Swords/Hammers/GUNS/Powerfists/Jet Rollerblades/Rings/Gloves/Tonfers/Books/etc...
Missiles are still mass weapons. Ever heard of Kinetic Energy weapons? The missile body will explode when it deploys the warhead and that will have an explosion and there will be shrapnel flying about. How is that NOT banned?

Since your coherency is an extreme question, (along with your control of your temper) I will not respond to this post at this time since I have an unfairly sharp mind in the early afternoon here and found a number of components to pick apart in your, fatigued out response. I'll wait for the organized response.

Easy mistake to make. At least I only switched the letters' positions, not echcanged them for 'I' and turned the word into 'Kiriko'.
Andrei: You missed... by a mile... and that's what you get for wrong spelling in The Soviet OC - Luckily it was not a heavier object (i.e. gondola) or even *tink* *tink* a newly bought Otis...
*Readies Capelia*
Andrei: You really wanted to erase a part of your multiple existances from the cosmos? How many of you should i take down then in one fell swoop? Or on the other hand, should i just watch you being LARTed by the mob?
Easy mistake to make. At least I only switched the letters' positions, not echcanged them for 'I' and turned the word into 'Kiriko'.
Meh, concidering the O and the I keys are right next to one another, I wouldn't even bat an eyelash if you did.
Go into detail?
Fine. I'll go into detail.
Finally! Stuff to work with.
LOOPHOLE: 'Generally', in 'Generally Forbids', implies that not all mass based weapons are forbiddon in all situations. This implies that in Special Circumstances, MBWs can be authorized or tolerated.
On a rather amusing note, I'm not sure Fate even uses the word 'generally' (either gaishite, soubetsu, soujite or zentai are words that I found sharing the same meaning and context) I'm hoping Coldlight comes out with his 14 sub soon. In the meantime, any moonspeakers in the thread that can pin a yes or no on this?
Regardless, Fate's generally is more likely to refer to armed devices (like Schwertkruez) or melee-based Intelligent Devices (like Levantine or Graff Eisen) then guns or misilles.
CASE IN POINT: Vita has a mass based weapon attack, Swallow Flier, which sends magically created solid iron balls to smack up a target. She uses this attack, even in StrikerS, which shows that she is a special case. It may be because the attack generates little to no collatteral. It may be because nobody realizes what she's using as a weapon.
It's a magical weapon, who's projectiles disapear after use. The difference between this and a conventional weapon are astronomical. I can remember a claim that Vita's Schwallbe Fliegen was equal to a tank shot, the people in the Tech thread had a good laugh at that.
LOOPHOLE: Weapons classified as using physical matter to strike the enemy are off limits. However, so long as the weapon in question uses magic to inflict damage, it gets past this loophole in the logic. Therefore, the mechanisms and special principles of a weapon do not matter, only how it inflicts damage matters.
In which case we end up with magical weapons. I still see no reason how that allows your group to parade with the fact that they have complete stashes of conventional weaponry. Not to mention create weapons that use no mage as a middle man to operate them, and thus are a danger to everyone.
Thoughts: The TSAB preffer magic over mass based weapons, because magical weaponry can be put in SAFEMODE to prevent collatteral and loss of life.
Correct.
Case in Point: Vice's sniper rifle Storm Raider was fired during a hostage situation. He botched the shot and hit the girl, which shows the use of the 'safe mode' of a magic attack. With a real, metal bullet firing sniper rifle, the girl he shot who only had a damaged eye would have had her brains blown out the back of her head.
That would have just plain DESTROYED him, rather than make him slightly depressed.
Again, correct.
Conclusions
- Special Circumstances will allow for mass weapons to exist, be in possession, or even used by, certain people, in certain situations.
Magical weapon. Vita's weapon is a magical weapon.
- A gun can be made legal, and has been, so long as it fires magic, not a solid bullet slug.
.... Uhm, in other words, guns are illegal, but gun shaped devices are okay. Yes, that's right, but that still doesn't support the legilazation (or even allowing) the idea of normal guns.
- A Missile can be made legal, so long as it does not contain a mass based (IE High Explosive) warhead to strike the target/inflict damage to the target. This renders a missile nothing more then a computer guided, rocket propelled, delivery vehicle/glorified device. The warhead can be a magic based mechanism with the same SAFEMODEs as magic attacks from the Intelligent Rods/Staffs/Swords/Hammers/GUNS/Powerfists/Jet Rollerblades/Rings/Gloves/Tonfers/Books/etc...
No. I quote Erio: "Once they are made, even a kid could use them. And that moving a finger could destroy an entire world." A missile can be fired without using the mage as a middle man, therefore, it falls under the category that Erio described. Your little 'rampaging airplane' scenario you posted shows the exact reason why the TSAB will never allow such research openly. The people of Mid-Childa live in the knowledge that conventional weapons no longer exist on their world, any research facillity willing to conduct the research you describe would have to either:
A: Do such research severely secretive and undercover (which means no flashy jets and mass storages of conventional weapons and a damn good explanartion why, who is sponsiring them, and how the rest of the TSAB is unaware)
B: Do such research on a remote planet where the law is a lot more flexible (in which case you'd need a backstory as to why the TSAB is allowing that)
or C: Do such research as a rogue faction, without the TSAB knowledge (in which case even heavier limits then A apply)
Are those drawn from scratch? Or are you cutting and slashing from every source you can get your hands on and compiling from there? (Either way is good work so long as it looks good as a finished product.)
I can't really draw that well, unfortunately. :heh: Those were cut, slashed, and recollored from every source I could get my hands on. Some have original concepts integrated or manipulated (this one (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y191/Liinna/Nanoha/Tesla_cooking.png), for example, was created from this original (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y191/Liinna/1127647596591.jpg), massive list of layers, tools, and creativity were required, but nothing was cut and pasted)
I might have to make you do the OC Cast I have for kicks. Be funny to see a collage of Crash, Fox, Roland, Don, Marilyn, Martin, and Cooper. :p
**Incidently, the names for Don and Martin are dirrived from the name Don Martin, a higher up where I work. I think he's director of operations for Austaco... but I'd have to double check the office roster.**
I'll need general apearance, and if possible a good supporting picture. Lowegear is also one of our resident photoshop experts.
HARD HAT AREA yes?
... I'll just nod and preted to know what that means. :heh:

When I created Syn, the plan from the very beginning was to make her Vivio's 'Fate'. So expect heavy borderline suggestive situations, and concidering Syn's bluntness, beyond borderline comments. :p
Though I wonder... by 'hot grown-up Vivio/Syn action' could you by chance mean... something like this?
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y191/Liinna/Nanoha/SynVivio-1.png
DELICIOUS! :love:
Blue haired. :p But yeah, that's Lindy. This is one of the youngest pictures I have of her, and concidering Lindy was my template for Syn to begin with, it worked just fine.
Now that's a surprise (Syn based on Lindy, that is).
The only one begging for a NanoFate was Haru (I love it when he tries the 'I lost interest in your fic' emotional blackmail route) the rest of them are curious on how things turn out.
Hmph. Seeing his expectations denied would be most enjoyable. To me at least .
Label it a Lost Logia and it should be possible. I'll give more contrsuctive critisism when I see te result.
Gotcha. Though personally I'm trying not to make it a Lost Logia. We already have quite a lot of those.
No, its not you. :p Syn has a lot of HxH elements oc-fied.
Phew! Glad I wasn't seeing too much into things for once :p.
So its a bit like creating a temporary 'guardian' right? Sounds plaussible.
Quite like the Shadow Master (http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/skills/assassin-shadow.shtml#shadowmaster) in Diablo II actually. Though creating an exact copy (the Doppelganger, that is) would be asking too much.
Actually, the first thing that irked me was the 'amen' trigger. Yaten no Sho has a lot of norse influences, so seeing a christian trigger sounds wrong to me.
Actually, the "Amen" part came from Judaism instead of Christianity. My take on the Belkan belief system (which may or may not be related to its magical system, but will definitely have an impact) is based on Judaism (every branch of it, including Humanistic). IIRC the Jews have been using "Amen" long before the Christians do (though it's the congregation that says "amen" as a way of affirming the person leading the prayer, like maybe Aaron saying "May Hayate be unshafted in the next Nanoha installment, if any", and the rest of us go "Amen").
Err, nonethless it's true that all this doesn't fits in the Norse theme, but unfortunately it was the best I could come up with for a trigger that has a "climatic" feel to it :heh:.
Tomato Lettuce Cabbage? :p
Actually it's Tender Loving Care :nod:
Crack-inspired Love and Care is good Love and Care :nod:.

The Timebomb should be available, but not to Hayate. The Black Hole maybe, since it seems to fit the Queen of the Night Sky theme. Maybe something similar to Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharigan (though that itself is pretty haxxed too imho, despite the side effects).
The Protoss Mothership, in its demo stage, was such a nice well of copy... ah, no, I mean, inspiration, of course :uhoh:.

Actually Tk did post here awhile ago. The two posts was his h4xbuster opinion on ATC's stuff, putting it mildly. A mod deleted both for being pointless and off-topic. What's left of the original two posts are bits and pieces quoted by me Aaron and Wild Goose about other stuff.
From the fragments I read from your quotes, what TK posted was basically typical of what he does here, and in short part of how the OC works. Was quite surprised and puzzled why the mods could have deemed it off-topic (though they might seem so for someone unfamiliar with our workings).
I had the impression Ancient Belka style had a lot of norse influence in general and brought it over to fanon as well. :heh:
The Norse theme is there, but for me I think with StrikerS, the German theme is actually more prominent, what with the Church and such. It feels as if Ancient Belkan is more towards the Norse theme while modern/Neo-Belkan is more on the German feel.
First try on a OC, it took me longer than I expected.
Hero in Disguise has brought up the idea of a TSAB Intelligence Department, along with its ranks, sections and their respective roles.
So I decided to play along.

Personality
When it comes to strangers, Roland comes as a discreet and laid back individual. He doesn't want to draw attention to him, hence he have gone for the intelligence department when he joined the TSAB.
But once he got in, he worked just enough to get to the ranks allowing him to carry his device but was severely underperforming when it comes to climb the higher ladder of the intelligence. department.
His superiors has tagged him with a slacker or "good potential but too much 'laissez aller' for any progress to ranks with a lot of responsibility" kind of label, excepted when it comes to the study of ancient relics or lost logia.
One thing was sure about him, he is a materialist, he doesn't believe much in the ideals that brought the TSAB in existence. Therefore, he was deeply involved in what seems to be harmless deals to got a little more than his usual income.
However, he is fiercely loyal to his comrades and will go to any lenght to help them.
Personal History
Roland's grandfather was a famous TSAB enforcer. His dedication to justice and great sense of honor earned the "Lion of the TSAB" nickname. Unfortunately, he fell from grace when one of his many enemies set a conspiracy in motion, leading Roland's grandfather to be framed then stripped of his enforcer rank. The grandfather was then forced to retire.
While the young Roland was an ambitious person at heart, the dishonor of his grandfather have drawn him to the conclusion that the secret of happiness is to not draw unwanted attention. Hence he never fought back when he was bullied at school. Instead, he worked harder as an apprentice mage under the relunctant teaching of his grandfather, but also as a fighter.
In school, he always ranked in fourth or fifth place, teachers has then noted about him that he was performing way under his true abilities.
The fact that he joined TSAB, in despite of the infamy left on his name, was a weird combination of luck, work and "behind the curtains" influence from the few people who believed that his grandfather could have been framed.
Upon joining the TSAB, he proved he could be a valuable trump thanks to his magic based on the manipulation of shadows as a mean to spy on people, conceal things or plain annoyance.
As for the period between before and after StrikerS:
Roland has been deeply involved in the illegal trafic of relics, using his own shadow as a pocket dimension to conceal what he wanted to smuggle. He is not at the head of this shady business, being not enough intelligent for that, and have done the best he could to not get caught. As a consequence, he tries to avoid the likes of Acous but it is a matter of time before people start to talk. Because of his general behavior, suspicions over him has been on the low side of the spectrum.
He doesn't have ill intentions, his motives are purely based on money. He looks at the ideals animating the Aces with an amused look, even tho deep inside him, he envy them.
A passionate speech from any of the Ace or Strikers may be needed to bring him back to the right way.
Roland's general fighting and magic style
Roland tries to avoid direct confrontations as much as possible. In close quarter combat, he uses his fencing and savate training to avoid getting hit, occasionally using his shadow magic to pull him out of troubles called Starlight Breaker. His shadow magic was also used to paralyze opponents in the same fashion as binding spells.
Roland's shadow magic is pretty weak when used in daylight, but strong when it is nighttime or when Roland is in a very dark place.
Roland never developed a bombardement-type spell.
Roland's Armed Device
Roland's weapon with a customized Armed Device that speak French instead of German. Outisde of that, there are not any notable features about it. And that's what Roland wished.
Roland's Barrier Jacket
He never considered to design one.
Roland's view on canon characters
Nanoha A truly terrifying character. I am glad I am not under her command.
Fate I think she is too sweet for her current assignation.
Hayate Her weird antics kinda scares me.
Chrono He is okay I guess.
Yuuno A helpful lad. That's what I got from the times I met him in the Library when I needed some informations.
Lindy I admit it, age-defying mothers turns me on.
Signum Someone you dont want to fight on the battlefield.
Vita They are turning the TSAB into a kindergarten or what?
Shamal Good as a nurse, that's about it.
Zafira Hayate has the perfect bodyguard. Who can expect a dog to turn into a very capable fighter?
Reinforce Zwei What's that weird little thing?
Roland doesn't have any opinion on the other canon characters.
Design notes and inspiration
My first try at an OC in nanohaverse or any animeverse ever. I could have gone for the fierce hired killer found in many spy movie but I did not. He is loosely based on the slacker template with a "Dont want to draw unwanted attention" twist a la Kira Yoshikage from JoJo Part 4.
The pic is shamelessly ripped from a pic from Ragnarok Online.
The shadow idea is from Zato-1-One from Guilty Gear without the elements of abomination that made Zato the overpowered monster he has become.
Roland is a fairly common french name while Rafale is taken from the french aircraft.
Flamberge was the name of the sword of the french knight Renaud de Montauban.
Interesting person here :). He sounds like a anti-hero, with the disillusions and preoccupation with self-benefits and keeping out of harm's way. His picture is from RO's Wizard, no?
:eek::eek::eek:
:bow::bow::bow:
Awesome work, Estavali!:D:D:D:bow:
The first spell just needs a bit more details on limits. But it's fine. And the second spell's :eek::eek::eek: HAXXful!!!:eek: And the Amen seems to contradict the Norse theme.:heh:
Churning out spells seems to be the only thing I'm good at though... :heh:
For that first spell, it seems fine but perhaps the doppelganger should be ranked 2-3 ranks down like that of Tracing in F/SN.
Noted.
Actually for the 2nd spell, I think its a bit on the weak side for a SSS spell as Hrćsvelgr seems to have a damage radius larger than 2km already. I think you can double the damage radius.
Still too weak? :heh:
@ Estavali:
I like those spells. Dopple has a good set of limitations on it to keep the Shadow Clone Spam to a minimum. Incidently, are the Dopples SOLID? I can imagine a good solid dopple of someone really good at H2H combat being invaluble to her.
Solid, it is indeed. Also, as it is an exact copy of Hayate, its abilities and specialties will be thus be similar. So don't expect it to be good in melee like the Knights.
The Doppelganger will have a timer that is influenced by the temporary Linker Core that fuels its existence (well, think it as a battery, Duracell or Energizer perhaps). Once the battery life is out, the Doppelganger goes poof. Also, there's an cooldown timer that prevent Hayate from spamming Doppelgangers on and on.
Come to think of it, this thus bring forth the question whether the timer will also be influenced by how much power the Doppelganger is exerting in battle. Hmm, this could be very important.
*bakes it over in the Oven*
As for Planet Cracker, I think that while a good destructive spell, the name is misleading. At MAX size of 3 km, it's hardly city or continent cracking, let alone planet. I'd suggest a name more along the lines of 'PILLARS OF __________' Or 'WHEEL OF ________' since your two main features of this spell are pillars of pure death, that spin like a wheel.
Well, in the first place I don't expect to take this spell seriously, be it me or anyone else. The name itself is one indication; Planet Cracker sounds more like a snack than a destructive spell to me, and all of the "canon" spells I created for Hayate have German or Norse names and themes (Draupnir, Freischutz, Silberkugel, Wilde Jagd, etc). If I was really serious about this, a possible name would be Himmelsturz, and the spell will see much more restrictions from me.
Also I don't like the idea of a one-woman world destroyer. No doubt I have mulled over characters that can destroy cities with a wave of their hands, but I insist, amongst other conditions, only if they are not, or no longer are, humans. Hayate, for all the haxx I (and the rest of us) come up with, is still human and I fully intend to keep her within human limitations. Even Superman has his limits, and Hayate is clearly not Superman.
XDDD I love this character. Sounds like a giant ball of energy :D .
I think we all concur on that :D.
:heh: Well, it is disjointed, to be fair. However, it shows a concurrence. The first three plots, and then the fourth, all happen at the same time; The Out of Shadow/Into Light arc (Nanoha and Vivio's) is meant to be full of drama with a little action to punctuate said drama, and builds up our title character for the second half of the story. The second arc, White Tempest, is a giant information dump that not only gives a certain character time in the limelight (*coughcoughHayatecoughcough*), but will allow the reader to understand what the hell is going on, especially during the second half (it could be said that some of the info found in this arc would be required lest the plot make no sense XD).
The Third Arc (Unnamed as of now), focuses on the OFM, mine and Goose's OCs, although there is light interception of other people's OCs (Keroko's first appearance in the story actually starts off this arc), and provides another backdrop; one that will become integral to the story proper, especially in the second half. Finally, the Investigation of Sin arc, one that doesn't actually start for a couple chapters, focuses on what I believe to be an unlikely duo (Fate and Acous, later Teana) gallavanting throughout Ordered Space to try and solve a few mysteries. This arc is intended to be borderline thriller/mystery with a good bit of survival horror thrown in for good measure.
Moving on, as you've noted, and as Keroko says later, I believe, Syn is to Fate as Vivio is to Nanoha. Innuendo is over nine-thousand.
I see :nod:.
I'm loving both of them. Doppelganger might be useful... >.>
Glad you (and most of the rest) like them :). Doppelganger actually came out from a Divine-Hammered inspiration when I was mentally going through a fierce 1-on-1 aerial battle between her and her "rival", under the influence of "Art du Sabre" (track 3 of the SnS II OST, an incredible piece of orchestral music).
XDDD How sexy :3 .
Vivio: "...not gonna happen."
Syn: "Oh come on~"
Vivio: *blushing* "S-SYN!!!"
Syn: "Ahaha~ Easy to tease as ever, V."
Don't you just this sort of girl-to-girl interactions? :D
As Goose and I did with the OFM, though really it was he and TK that hammered out those details. I suck when it comes to stuff like that, I just write stories (It's not that I don't do the research, I just make others do it for me :heh: .)
It's certainly a good workable system :nod:.
I agree, the name is really misleading. Also, Planet Cracker doesn't sound really like Hayate.
Hmm, I agree. In any case, Planet Cracker (if it somehow makes its way into plot proper) will be something similar to what Kuzu-ryusen is in Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, a byproduct that leads to her ultimate spell. Whatever that may be.
So I guess that means the last 50% of Asuka is 100% pure...cuteness?
*runs*
Heh, so that's what the 50% meant? I thought he was refering to people who are 50% (and thus not all) woman.... :uhoh:
Interesting...so is that an Easy Bake model? :heh:
Spells seem to fit her combat style...and I don't want to get in her way when she uses Planet Cracker :uhoh:
Well, as long as you have enough Pylons...
Easy Bake? :heh:
TK isn't here! He's not around! But in our hearts and in our haxbuster rifles, he lives in OC still! So long as this heart beats, the spirit of Haxbuster lives in me!
Goose, you sound as if he's dead or what... :heh:
...right, basically, spell No. 2 is much HAX. Keroko-kun mentioned the dichotomy in using "Amen" as the trigger; also, there is no freakin' way a single mage can do this... at least, as far as we've seen. So far. It's most assuredly hax and too overpowered.
If you have to ask if it's overpowered, it probably is. If you have to ask if it's hax, it most likely is. Remember that, people!
Well, definitely not a single mage of course. I'm not that crack-infested yet.
That's where the Doppelganger comes in handy... :uhoh::heh:
But seriously, I myself don't think it's really combat-viable in the first place. Firstly the long charge-up time and that very visible, oversized Hexagram is enough to send the people it's supposed to wipe out running long before the actual stuff comes down like Holy Fury. Unless Hayate plans to go into demolition business, this actually won't be very helpful in most situations.
Secondly the amount of mana consumed is just crazy. Even at Hayate's max output, this spell still needs to drain energy from the surroundings. What if she collapses after the firing? Or worse, what if she collapses during the firing? Just imagine how much damage the berserk energy storm would cause in such a scenario.
Btw, Happy Lunar New Year!!! For the Chinese amongst us (including me), may your ang-paos be fat and plentiful! :D

Well. You actually posted an Easy-Bake oven. I'm speechless
Now, someone has to shop it to a Nano-Bake oven. (So as to keep it on topic, of course!) Send a potential spell or set of magic in, and it comes out freshly crack-baked prepared with the -verse's finest in creative magic.
By the way, the new magic for Hayate sounds really good. A distraction spell (EXACTLY what a melee-lacking fighter needs), and another nuke...keep up the good work. (And unfortunately, I can't find who originally made those spells, so kudos and sorry...:heh:)

Guess it's time I start my own division...
Designation: Division 66, NERV
Affiliation: TSAB Ground Forces
Founded: May MC 071
Commander: Colonel Kouzou Fuyutsuki
HQ Location: Cranagan, Mid-Childa
Equipment: 1x XI Class Warship Longinus, 2x JF-700 Helicopter
Function: Locate, secure, and neutralize rogue Lost Logia/Relics within Mid-Childa as well as high-threat Lost Logia/Relics on other worlds.
History: Division 66 was founded in May MC 071 shortly after the airport disaster. Although it had been proposed just a month prior, the proximity and scale of the Lost Logia/Relic airport incident made it clear to the TSAB council that an organization would be necessary to police local threats to avoid another disaster. The original proposal was drafted and backed by Lt. General Regius Gaiz and as such is under the direct control of the TSAB Ground Forces. This also limited the range of movement of the organization to Mid-Childa, although a clause was later added to allow their jurisdiction to reach to other worlds should there be a potential high-level threat.
The overall division is quite small due to its specialized objectives. They occupy a single 2-story structure just outside the main TSAB Ground Forces HQ with a pair of hangers for the helicopters and a single training structure in the rear. As of their founding, the main forward forces consist of 1st LT. Shamsel Nagisa and 2nd LT. Ryotaro Nogami. Some questioned the use of an experimental system for such an organization, but they were all quickly dismissed by Lt. Gen. Gaiz saying that it was a proven system he had investigated himself and worthy of such a roll.
Despite the intentions of the division, there were several rumors questioning its founding. One sprung from the fact that, after being initially set aside by the Council as not a priority, the airport disaster occurred and practically paved the way for its rushed approval. Second was on the backer, Lt. Gen. Gaiz. Rumors already existed of his dislike for the Navy as well as of the young Hayate Yagami. Many found it odd for him to propose such a group when word spread of Hayate contemplating a similar division of her own.
Looks interesting and quite well done imho. Not too sure about that shadow magics but I'll wait to see what definite spells and abilities he has first before commenting on it. Also, is his device a gunblade? Sounds like one to me.
I have been flipping thru both Vampire the Masquerade (Lasombra clan) and D&D3 rulebooks to find spells that could be twisted into nanohaverse fit spells.
Later this week, I may post them and discuss over how to tone down those that are too much for his mage rank and character type.
I count on HAXXbusters!
Very nice for a first try! I'm not seeing anything wrong at all in terms of power and ability, and he doesn't even seem to be connected to the OCs, save for Yuuno by a little bit.
You get bonus points for the name Rafale as well. :D .
When the canon characters will get their noses in his business, expect him to run away or trying to put them on the wrong track.
As for the name, I have been mindstorming for french names while keeping the nanoha naming gimmick about the cars/vehicles/weapon (?) references.
Heeeh? An antagonist, huh? That certainly increases the interest rate of this character tremendously. :D Is he by chance the one responsible for the Relic incident at the airport?
It depends on when the Relic airport incident happened. Four years ago before StrikerS takes place? So it is not unlikely he have been involved, even tho it have been an accident (transaction that have gone wrong, etc...)
I like how this charecter isn't too powerful, is trying not to make waves, and is actually a bad guy. *grins* And so long as he keeps a low profile, the OFM aren't going to be after him - unless he's a lead to bigger fish that they want to fry. Good first try, and bonus points for being named after the fighter. ^__^
I remember that Jojo's Bizarre Adventures' author said that villains turns out that way because they never manage to overcome their own fears/weaknesses/complex.
I wanted to give him a reason for his general behavior without dwelling too much into pathos, and without turning him into a mental wreck. I am hoping I have done it right.
Interesting person here :). He sounds like a anti-hero, with the disillusions and preoccupation with self-benefits and keeping out of harm's way. His picture is from RO's Wizard, no?
You are right. While he comes as an antagonist, there are a hope for him to be reformed befriended, and someone very bossy to push his skills to the limit.
And his pic is definitely from the RO high wizard.
PS: Keiji Fujiwara (Hugues from FMA, Takeshi from sola, Sven from Black Cat and Aizawa from Death Note) is THE seiyu for slacker type characters.

Now that you think about it, Colwell Industries also has the expertise to create the Rescue machines... :uhoh::uhoh::uhoh:
Artei: But of course! :eyeglint:
I was thinking of making a Tachibana OC for that, but I decided that the Braummuhls made some of their dough by exporting manga and anime throughout the multiverse while sponsoring Celestial Being to ship their goods at Warp speed.
In fact, Asagi could've special-ordered all of the Super Sentai series from a Braummuhl's video rental branch...
:uhoh:
*ahem*
Then again, it's only a small part of the enterprise; their main seller is weapons and technology with their main posterboy being "Batman".
:uhoh:
So in fact, Asagi relies on the Braunmuhl's for her Super Sentai fix?

Roland has been deeply involved in the illegal trafic of relics, using his own shadow as a pocket dimension to conceal what he wanted to smuggle. He is not at the head of this shady business, being not enough intelligent for that, and have done the best he could to not get caught. As a consequence, he tries to avoid the likes of Acous but it is a matter of time before people start to talk. Because of his general behavior, suspicions over him has been on the low side of the spectrum.
He doesn't have ill intentions, his motives are purely based on money. He looks at the ideals animating the Aces with an amused look, even tho deep inside him, he envy them.
A passionate speech from any of the Ace or Strikers may be needed to bring him back to the right way.
Roland's general fighting and magic style
Roland tries to avoid direct confrontations as much as possible. In close quarter combat, he uses his fencing and savate training to avoid getting hit, occasionally using his shadow magic to pull him out of troubles called Starlight Breaker. His shadow magic was also used to paralyze opponents in the same fashion as binding spells.
Roland's shadow magic is pretty weak when used in daylight, but strong when it is nighttime or when Roland is in a very dark place.
Roland never developed a bombardement-type spell.
Roland's Armed Device
Roland's weapon with a customized Armed Device that speak French instead of German. Outisde of that, there are not any notable features about it. And that's what Roland wished.
Roland's Barrier Jacket
He never considered to design one.
Roland's view on canon characters
Nanoha A truly terrifying character. I am glad I am not under her command.
Fate I think she is too sweet for her current assignation.
Hayate Her weird antics kinda scares me.
Chrono He is okay I guess.
Yuuno A helpful lad. That's what I got from the times I met him in the Library when I needed some informations.
Lindy I admit it, age-defying mothers turns me on.
Signum Someone you dont want to fight on the battlefield.
Vita They are turning the TSAB into a kindergarten or what?
Shamal Good as a nurse, that's about it.
Zafira Hayate has the perfect bodyguard. Who can expect a dog to turn into a very capable fighter?
Reinforce Zwei What's that weird little thing?
Roland doesn't have any opinion on the other canon characters.
Design notes and inspiration
My first try at an OC in nanohaverse or any animeverse ever. I could have gone for the fierce hired killer found in many spy movie but I did not. He is loosely based on the slacker template with a "Dont want to draw unwanted attention" twist a la Kira Yoshikage from JoJo Part 4.
The pic is shamelessly ripped from a pic from Ragnarok Online.
The shadow idea is from Zato-1-One from Guilty Gear without the elements of abomination that made Zato the overpowered monster he has become.
Roland is a fairly common french name while Rafale is taken from the french aircraft.
Flamberge was the name of the sword of the french knight Renaud de Montauban.
A Shadow-user? Now THAT's rare, even here in OC. And it fits well with his intentionally low-profile personality :) Despite his low-key nature, he could be very useful in a lot of OC situations here, especially in regards to shady dealings :heh:
Nice first OC here :)

Guess it's time I start my own division...
Designation: Division 66, NERV
Affiliation: TSAB Ground Forces
Founded: May MC 071
Commander: Colonel Kouzou Fuyutsuki
HQ Location: Cranagan, Mid-Childa
Equipment: 1x XI Class Warship Longinus, 2x JF-700 Helicopter
Function: Locate, secure, and neutralize rogue Lost Logia/Relics within Mid-Childa as well as high-threat Lost Logia/Relics on other worlds.
History: Division 66 was founded in May MC 071 shortly after the airport disaster. Although it had been proposed just a month prior, the proximity and scale of the Lost Logia/Relic airport incident made it clear to the TSAB council that an organization would be necessary to police local threats to avoid another disaster. The original proposal was drafted and backed by Lt. General Regius Gaiz and as such is under the direct control of the TSAB Ground Forces. This also limited the range of movement of the organization to Mid-Childa, although a clause was later added to allow their jurisdiction to reach to other worlds should there be a potential high-level threat.
The overall division is quite small due to its specialized objectives. They occupy a single 2-story structure just outside the main TSAB Ground Forces HQ with a pair of hangers for the helicopters and a single training structure in the rear. As of their founding, the main forward forces consist of 1st LT. Shamsel Nagisa and 2nd LT. Ryotaro Nogami. Some questioned the use of an experimental system for such an organization, but they were all quickly dismissed by Lt. Gen. Gaiz saying that it was a proven system he had investigated himself and worthy of such a roll.
Despite the intentions of the division, there were several rumors questioning its founding. One sprung from the fact that, after being initially set aside by the Council as not a priority, the airport disaster occurred and practically paved the way for its rushed approval. Second was on the backer, Lt. Gen. Gaiz. Rumors already existed of his dislike for the Navy as well as of the young Hayate Yagami. Many found it odd for him to propose such a group when word spread of Hayate contemplating a similar division of her own.
Regiuz's competing answer to RF6? Seems he really is much shadier than he already is :heh:

Personality
When it comes to strangers, Roland comes as a discreet and laid back individual. He doesn't want to draw attention to him, hence he have gone for the intelligence department when he joined the TSAB.
But once he got in, he worked just enough to get to the ranks allowing him to carry his device but was severely underperforming when it comes to climb the higher ladder of the intelligence. department.
His superiors has tagged him with a slacker or "good potential but too much 'laissez aller' for any progress to ranks with a lot of responsibility" kind of label, excepted when it comes to the study of ancient relics or lost logia.
One thing was sure about him, he is a materialist, he doesn't believe much in the ideals that brought the TSAB in existence. Therefore, he was deeply involved in what seems to be harmless deals to got a little more than his usual income.
However, he is fiercely loyal to his comrades and will go to any lenght to help them.
Personal History
Roland's grandfather was a famous TSAB enforcer. His dedication to justice and great sense of honor earned the "Lion of the TSAB" nickname. Unfortunately, he fell from grace when one of his many enemies set a conspiracy in motion, leading Roland's grandfather to be framed then stripped of his enforcer rank. The grandfather was then forced to retire.
While the young Roland was an ambitious person at heart, the dishonor of his grandfather have drawn him to the conclusion that the secret of happiness is to not draw unwanted attention. Hence he never fought back when he was bullied at school. Instead, he worked harder as an apprentice mage under the relunctant teaching of his grandfather, but also as a fighter.
In school, he always ranked in fourth or fifth place, teachers has then noted about him that he was performing way under his true abilities.
The fact that he joined TSAB, in despite of the infamy left on his name, was a weird combination of luck, work and "behind the curtains" influence from the few people who believed that his grandfather could have been framed.
Upon joining the TSAB, he proved he could be a valuable trump thanks to his magic based on the manipulation of shadows as a mean to spy on people, conceal things or plain annoyance.
As for the period between before and after StrikerS:
Roland has been deeply involved in the illegal trafic of relics, using his own shadow as a pocket dimension to conceal what he wanted to smuggle. He is not at the head of this shady business, being not enough intelligent for that, and have done the best he could to not get caught. As a consequence, he tries to avoid the likes of Acous but it is a matter of time before people start to talk. Because of his general behavior, suspicions over him has been on the low side of the spectrum.
He doesn't have ill intentions, his motives are purely based on money. He looks at the ideals animating the Aces with an amused look, even tho deep inside him, he envy them.
A passionate speech from any of the Ace or Strikers may be needed to bring him back to the right way.
Roland's general fighting and magic style
Roland tries to avoid direct confrontations as much as possible. In close quarter combat, he uses his fencing and savate training to avoid getting hit, occasionally using his shadow magic to pull him out of troubles called Starlight Breaker. His shadow magic was also used to paralyze opponents in the same fashion as binding spells.
Roland's shadow magic is pretty weak when used in daylight, but strong when it is nighttime or when Roland is in a very dark place.
Roland never developed a bombardement-type spell.
Roland's Armed Device
Roland's weapon with a customized Armed Device that speak French instead of German. Outisde of that, there are not any notable features about it. And that's what Roland wished.
Roland's Barrier Jacket
He never considered to design one.
Roland's view on canon characters
Nanoha A truly terrifying character. I am glad I am not under her command.
Fate I think she is too sweet for her current assignation.
Hayate Her weird antics kinda scares me.
Chrono He is okay I guess.
Yuuno A helpful lad. That's what I got from the times I met him in the Library when I needed some informations.

Vita They are turning the TSAB into a kindergarten or what?

Zafira Hayate has the perfect bodyguard. Who can expect a dog to turn into a very capable fighter?
Reinforce Zwei What's that weird little thing?
Roland doesn't have any opinion on the other canon characters.

Oh...and a little sample of what Ryotaro can do:
2lUY2qnGlqs
Awesome work from Takeru Satoh there.:D:D:D He's an AWESOME actor, taking on multiple personas (SEVEN in total) and appearing like a completely different person each and every time.:D:D:D
I queried the mod in question, explaining that the posts were on-topic in the context of OC and that we desperately rely on TK's haxbusting; White Manju Bun replied to me that someone reported TK's posts as flaming, and the mods agreed it was flaming. White Manju Bun's interpretation of off-topic apparently stemmed from an unfamiliarity with OC, which I cleared up about, but remained adamant that it was a joint moderation team decision to delete the posts as they were flames. Which I feel is a great pity.
Damn.:( That sucks.
Gotcha. Though personally I'm trying not to make it a Lost Logia. We already have quite a lot of those.
You could make a new system altogether. Since they did imply several more systems of magic in the Nanohaverse. Artificers, anyone?:D
Actually, the "Amen" part came from Judaism instead of Christianity. My take on the Belkan belief system (which may or may not be related to its magical system, but will definitely have an impact) is based on Judaism (every branch of it, including Humanistic). IIRC the Jews have been using "Amen" long before the Christians do (though it's the congregation that says "amen" as a way of affirming the person leading the prayer, like maybe Aaron saying "May Hayate be unshafted in the next Nanoha installment, if any", and the rest of us go "Amen").
But still.. The theme's Norse...:heh:
Err, nonethless it's true that all this doesn't fits in the Norse theme, but unfortunately it was the best I could come up with for a trigger that has a "climatic" feel to it :heh:.
There might be some Norse terms that might work.:heh: I'll see if I can help later.;)
The Timebomb should be available, but not to Hayate. The Black Hole maybe, since it seems to fit the Queen of the Night Sky theme. Maybe something similar to Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharigan (though that itself is pretty haxxed too imho, despite the side effects).
:nod: As for me, I'm giving her some more support and psuedo-summon spells.:nod:
Here're some samples...
Grani: Derived from Grani, the descendant of Sleipnir in Norse mythology. It allows Hayate to "attach" wings to a person to allow for flight. Control, however, is under Hayate.
Terra’s Judgement: Gaia Storm: One of Hayate’s ultimate wide-area bombardment spells. This involves her charging up an exorbitant amount of her energy and converting it into a frighteningly powerful elemental storm. Lightning bolts, fireballs and large icicles rain down from the sky and strikes any enemies within the area of effect. The damage is horrific.
Absolute Protection: Baldur Field: A prototype spell developed by Aurion specifically for Hayate’s use. This is a very powerful field protection field that forcefully negates any field effects (such as AMF) on top of a potent barrier against attacks by using Hayate’s incredibly high amount of mana in making a specialized negation effect against any other type of fields as well as erecting a defensive barrier. This spell is currently only available to Hayate because only she can power such an intensely high energy-drain spell. Aurion claims that this field in its compacted and maximum output can even counteract against an incredibly dense concentration of Anti-Magilink pulses (like that of the Saint Cradle of Ancient Belka’s AMF that trapped Hayate and Nanoha inside) as long as Hayate’s mana reserves hold. Nevertheless, even Hayate cannot possibly hold this type of field for any longer than a few minutes until she completely runs out of energy. It was derived from Baldur's said invulnerability since Freya requested everything in the world to not harm him, neglecting only the mistletoe. Of course, there's no mistltoe here aside from a stronger attack or the depletion of Hayate's energy.
Pandemonium Zone: The earth surface is damaged, causing the several broken rock formations and other things present to be swept up in a small tornado. Small tornado with rocks, to put it simply.
Celestial Emission: Considered as a sister-spell to Diabolic Emission. This expanding sphere of pure white energy expels; or rather, directly damages the area hit instead of consuming it like what Diabolic Emission seems to do. To put it simply, it is akin to slow-moving concentrated explosion. To better illustrate, think of a Hraesvelgr shot that expands slower like Diabolic Emission but offers more power. It's mostly used as a large bomb
Whiffy...:heh:
Solid, it is indeed. Also, as it is an exact copy of Hayate, its abilities and specialties will be thus be similar. So don't expect it to be good in melee like the Knights.
The Doppelganger will have a timer that is influenced by the temporary Linker Core that fuels its existence (well, think it as a battery, Duracell or Energizer perhaps). Once the battery life is out, the Doppelganger goes poof. Also, there's an cooldown timer that prevent Hayate from spamming Doppelgangers on and on.
Come to think of it, this thus bring forth the question whether the timer will also be influenced by how much power the Doppelganger is exerting in battle. Hmm, this could be very important.
:D:D:D
How about giving the Doppelganger the ability to go your proposed "
Valkyrie-mode" to make up for the lack of melee capability?:D
Also I don't like the idea of a one-woman world destroyer. No doubt I have mulled over characters that can destroy cities with a wave of their hands, but I insist, amongst other conditions, only if they are not, or no longer are, humans. Hayate, for all the haxx I (and the rest of us) come up with, is still human and I fully intend to keep her within human limitations. Even Superman has his limits, and Hayate is clearly not Superman.
:nod::nod::nod:
Well said, buddy!:D:D:D
Hmm, I agree. In any case, Planet Cracker (if it somehow makes its way into plot proper) will be something similar to what Kuzu-ryusen is in Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, a byproduct that leads to her ultimate spell. Whatever that may be.
Though that might call for a vast difference in her ultimate and Planet Cracker since the way Amakekiru Ryu no Hirameki and Kusuryusen are very different in execution.:heh:
Btw, Happy Lunar New Year!!! For the Chinese amongst us (including me), may your ang-paos be fat and plentiful! :D
Happy Chinese New Year!:D
I'm half-Chinese myself. Though I can't speak the language...:heh:

You sure have been making it a point of spoiling Asagi's fun...:heh:
:heh:
Now THIS is how an innuendo-ish yuri couple should go!:D:D:D
Yes, I so agree :nod:
*dodges*
:nod: As for me, I'm giving her some more support and psuedo-summon spells.:nod:
Here're some samples...
Grani: Derived from Grani, the descendant of Sleipnir in Norse mythology. It allows Hayate to "attach" wings to a person to allow for flight. Control, however, is under Hayate.
Terra’s Judgement: Gaia Storm: one of Hayate’s ultimate wide-area bombardment spell. This involves her charging up an exorbitant amount of her energy and converting it into a frighteningly powerful elemental storm. Lightning bolts, fireballs and large icicles rain down from the sky and strikes any enemies within the area of effect. The damage is horrific.
Absolute Protection: Baldur Field: A prototype spell developed by Aurion specifically for Hayate’s use. This is a very powerful field protection field that forcefully negates any field effects (such as AMF) on top of a potent barrier against attacks by using Hayate’s incredibly high amount of mana in making a specialized negation effect against any other type of fields as well as erecting a defensive barrier. This spell is currently only available to Hayate because only she can power such an intensely high energy-drain spell. Aurion claims that this field in its compacted and maximum output can even counteract against an incredibly dense concentration of Anti-Magilink pulses (like that of the Saint Cradle of Ancient Belka’s AMF that trapped Hayate and Nanoha inside) as long as Hayate’s mana reserves hold. Nevertheless, even Hayate cannot possibly hold this type of field for any longer than a few minutes until she completely runs out of energy. It was derived from Baldur's said invulnerability since Freya requested everything in the world to not harm him, neglecting only the mistletoe. Of course, there's no mistltoe here aside from a stronger attack or the depletion of Hayate's energy.
Pandemonium Zone: The earth surface is damaged, causing the several broken rock formations and other things present to be swept up in a small tornado. Small tornado with rocks, to put it simply.
Celestial Emission: Considered as a sister-spell to Diabolic Emission. This expanding sphere of pure white energy expels; or rather, directly damages the area hit instead of consuming it like what Diabolic Emission seems to do. To put it simply, it is akin to slow-moving concentrated explosion. To better illustrate, think of a Hraesvelgr shot that expands slower like Diabolic Emission but offers more power. It's mostly used as a large bomb
Whiffy...:heh:
I smell a potential use for the Grani spell...
"PUT ME DOWN!!!!!!!!"
...yup, don't piss off Hayate.:heh:
:uhoh::uhoh::uhoh:
And, there is one way the mistletoe could defeat Baldur Field...

1: then I shall begin the journey to an epic clash with this:
"ORE WO DARE DATO OMOTTE YAGARU KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICKU!!!"
The drop kick connected, and the drone was dragged across the field. Kagami immediately disengaged the attack, leaving the drone to explode as he pounced at another drone. "KORE WA HONTO NO OTOKO NO KOKORO!!!" The well-built man fired a drill-shaped cannonball from his drill knuckle and dodged an attack thrown at him, as the drill impaled the drone and drove it deep into the earth before it, too, exploded.
"HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!" The Belkan knight made a dramatic landfall. Gurren vibrating in full energy, he pointed straight at the thugs who had been controlling the drones from inside a bunker and bellowed "you think you can win yourselves over the Heavenly Red Brigade??? You're dead wrong!!!" He recharged his Linker Core and pointed skywards. "I shall shive this mighty fist into your sorry mouth and kick your arse into curb!! Gurren!!!"
"[Ja, Bruder!!]"
Kagami braced himself for recoil as he prepared the drill knuckle. "KORE WA HONTO NO OTOKO NO KOKORO!!!" Another drill cannonball was fired, and it cut through the drones and impacted the armour-reinforced bunker before exploded in dramatic fashion. The thugs were knocked out of the bunker and crashed outside the explosion perimeter, right in front of the already awaiting Yuuko. The sniper girl grinned and aimed Heartbreak One at the terrorists' face.
"I suggest that you surrender."
The terrorists had to oblige. "We surrender! Don't kill us!" they begged and fell onto their face in defeat.
Kagami lowered his stance and turned to Yuuko. "Nice, Yuuko!" he said with a thumb's up. "We should be able to turn them over to the sherrif today."
Yuuko had finishing tying up the thugs and smiled to the Taichou. "And we can finally claim the bounty," she said. "The money should be enough to support our journey after this."
"Aniki!"
Kagami turned to the source of the voice. It was him, Kagami's adoptive brother of soul Simone, and he was running towards him with the rest of the Heavenly Red Brigade. "Hey, hey, hey, look who's coming?" he asked.
"Aniki, you okay?" Simone asked.
"Do I look not alright to you, Simone?" Kagami grinned. "Who the hell do you think I am? I know no fatigue!!"
"Sir Kagami, you're no fun!" the Slug Sibling Cassandra moaned. "You should've waited for Hannibal, you know?"
Kagami laughed. "You people were late!" he bellowed. "You'd missed lots of action here."
"Sorry, friend," Hannibal apologized. "We've run into some silly thugs who wanted to stop us."
"Hah! I bet that's just an excuse to not watch my great expertise in kicking evil to curbs!" Kagami bragged and pointed to his chest. "You just don't want to admit the greatness that is Kagami-sama, do you?"
"Guys, stop arguing!" Yuuko cried out as Kagami and Hannibal started exchanging hostile glares at each other. "Come on and help me! We have to leave the village by night or we'll miss the airship!" Inexplicably a drone that had missed Kagami's attention jumped out of its cover and hurled itself towards the Heavenly Red Brigade. "What? Where did that come from?!"
"Aniki, watch out!" Simone gasped.
"Have no fear, for Hannibal is here!!!" Hannibal jumped in front of the attacking drone and impaled Kittan into the steel machine's body. "Eat this!!!" Kittan Impact Stake activated and pierced through the armour twelve times in quick succession. The drone was knocked off the ground to be driven deep into the ground by another "ORE WO DARE DATO OMOTTE YAGARU KIIIIIIIIIIIICKU!!!!"
Later, after the thugs were handed over to the sherrif, the Heavenly Red Brigade were preparing to leave the village. Yuuko and Simone were helped by the Slug Siblings as they put their luggages onboard the carriage. Hannibal and Kagami were absent, being standing on a nearby cliff and looking down at the small village.
"Hey, Kagami," Hannibal said as he turned to the setting sun.
Kagami did the same. "What is it, Hannibal?"
"Remember old man Sanshiro?"
Kagami smacked a fist onto his palm. "Of course! How can I ever forget the legendary undefeated of the east?" he said.
"I got a letter from him yesterday," Hannibal told him. "He's sending his student here. He wants us to look after her until she graduates from the dojo."
Kagami was slightly surprised. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! That old man took a girl as his pupil?" he asked.
"You'll never know his inner mind," Hannibal said with a chuckle.
Kagami laughed as well. "Maybe you're right. But whoever that old man's pupil is, if she ever wants to give me a challenge," he spoke and pointed upwards to the evening skies. "I'll show her what it takes to be a drill that pierces through the heavens!!"
"Take it easy. Old man has faith in us," Hannibal reminded. "Don't upset him."
Kagami laughed. "Then I shall teach her the way of the Heavenly Red Brigade! I'll make sure she learns to appreciate who she really is!!!" he announced.
"Sou daro!! Ore wo dare dato omotte yagaru! Ore wa Kagami-sama! Ten no Tsukuru Doriru!!!"
GL's epic feel like one compact package. Need MOAR. :cool:
Need to be more specific than that, since I can give you ideas for a sniper rifle, a heavy machinegun, light machine gun, submachine gun, machinepistol, or hybrid weapons :heh:
Sniper Rifle is good. :nod:
I have three forms in mind. First being the sniper rifle form, which is a definite now, second something suited for engagements in close range or enclosed areas, so something like a light machine gun I guess.
Last form is clearly whack and for coolness-factor. Big cannon ala Dieci's Enormous Cannon or buster rifles styled after Vayaete or Wing 0. :uhoh: Well nothing in power like their originals of course. Biggest shot from that probably measures up to loli Nanoha's Divine Buster :heh:
For better or worse, you decide :uhoh:
On the one hand, Mai's dere factor will increase as she grows older... on the other hand, so does her yan by an equivalent amount. :uhoh::uhoh:
Well the more yan they are, the greater the effect of being dere is. Tsunderes are noted to displayed such traits as well. :nod::D
Yes, this was inspired by you :uhoh:

:eyespin::eyespin::eyespin::eyespin:
- Summary excerpt of various legends regarding the moons of Midchilda:
Nobody knows when the story began.
The two brother princes of the kingdom were alike and different. One brother was tall and proud, fearless and cruel, and from him we learned strength. The other brother was lithe and aloof, veiled and silent, and from him we learned magic. The brothers watch over us, even as today, and we may see their shadowed faces if we look to the heavens, but as for which brother is which, even the legends cannot agree.
The brothers were not friends, for strength and magic cannot join without destroying all they held dear, and it is not in the nature of two princes so similar to be friends; but they were comrades, and they met often in the darkened sky, illuminating it with the reflection of their Sun-Father's glory.
There was a Lady, fickle and inconstant, but few could deny her beauty and allure, and the two brothers fell in love with this princess of water and darkness. Each beckoned to her with charm and guile, and sometimes the Lady turned to one, and sometimes the other, but whether she loved either one or not at all, none could say. Even so, the brothers each vowed to win her heart, and the Lady played with theirs, as she teased them with their own reflections on her countless faces.
But there are, as in every story of this kind, those who crave the darkness, and among them there will always be a serpent. In some of the legends he is a powerful young champion, and in others a doddering old fool, and in yet others a mere mistake of cause and effect, without sentience or thought. The serpent wished to obtain the strength of one brother and the magic of the other, but he knew that if he were to confront them directly, he would be struck down in a single blow. And so the serpent climbed to the top of his tower (for there is always a tower, and the villain perches at the top of it) and whispered falsehoods into the brothers' minds.
The prince of strength knew that the serpent spoke untrue, but he could not ignore his desire for the Lady, and so he bent all his will to his efforts, plunging deep into the forbidden arts. His brother moved to stop him, but by then the Lady had seen what the brothers had done, and her heart grew cold, covering the world in frost. The prince of magic tried to use his own forbidden skills to warm the Lady's heart, but his desire poisoned the deed, and the brothers danced across the night in tainted battle, even as the earth trembled in rage and the skies wept fire.
There are many versions of the story, one for each storyteller. In a few, the brother princes reconciled their differences, and turned on the serpent who had deceived them. In others, the Sun-Father himself intervened, punishing the serpent for his insolence and burning away the ice around the Lady's heart, leaving her weak and diminished. Sometimes the serpent's tower fell; sometimes not.
In most of the legends, however, the prince of strength and the prince of magic weaved all their powers into a tapestry of discord, and cast it at the land; the loose threads becoming available to all who would seek them, strength and magic serving the twin causes of desire and destruction.
And in every version of the story, the Sun-Father, seeing his children in strife, turns black with sorrow.

As Lowe says, it depends on what you're using the system for.
Sniping weapons have high accuraccy, but that's about the only thing that sniping weapons have in common. Military sniper rifles need to be light and rugged, since military snipers will be on foot, travelling all over the place. Police sniper rifles can be heavier and less rugged, more sensitve, since they'll be kept in cases most of the time.
Sniper rifles have high accuraccy and range. On the other hand, they tend to have drawbacks; rate of fire isn't that good, you can't exactly shoot on the move, and it's quite possible that if you only know how to shoot and not how to snipe, you'll be doing a No-no like Deici: standing to fire her cannon. Snipers will crouch or go prone when shooting (unless the wall they're using for cover is so high they HAVE to stand).
Heavy Machineguns have good firepower and fearsome rate of fire. They also have a lots of recoil, and it's generally inadvisable to go full auto on them, as you will not hit anything (reccommended ROF is 60 rounds per minute on the M2 .50cal or short burst). They tend to be a bitch to carry and move with, and are used as vehicle or stationary weapons.
Submachineguns are automatic weapons like the MAC-10, Uzi or the MP5; they fire pistol rounds at high rate of fire, and are smaller and much, much lighter than rifles or carbines (which explains why SEALs tasked with maritime takedown missions use MP5s). Advantages are light weight and easy controllability; disadvantages include lower stopping power and range.
A machine pistol is basically a pistol that as a full auto mode, like the Czech Skorpion. Generally, machine pistols are crap; the only machine pistol you shoud go for is the Maschinenpistolen Funf, aka MP5, made by Heckler & Kock. (Which is more properly classed as an SMG. The Germans use machine pistol to refer to any SMG; Machine pistol is commonly understood to be a pistol pretending to be an SMG.)
Hybrid weapons: M16A4/M203 grenade launcher combo, M4A1/M203 combo, etc etc. Shoulder weapon, typically a rifle or a carbine, with an underbarrel grenade launcher - although Delta operator SFC Paul Howe used a shotgun with his M4A1. You have both a rifle and a GL; disadvantage is that it's heavier and you're carrying more crap.
Very enlightening, especially on the sniper parts.

Loli draft Asuka is LOVE :D She's so deredere and vulnerable in this, it makes me want to pick her up and give her a hug and wipe her tears away... and toss her off to Kyou for some tsuntsun oneechan-ing and Nagisa and Sanae for more loving. ^___^
I got a image after reading this.
WG: "Asuka-chan kawaii! Omachi kaeri :love:!"

About the Sankt Kaiser thing, I'm taking a shot in the dark and saying that it's information that's something that's heavily classified. You don't just go around and say, "Oh hey this kid's the genetic copy of our Saint XD."
As for her life during the timeskip, that'll be discussed in a future chapter.
I doubt her origins would be known except to the closest few anyway.Not so much about how other people think but how does Vivio herself feel about her origins. I would imagine she will have issues about it like Fate and Erio and both resolved in the end. In her case, she doesn't really know much her original other than the memories she inherited(?).
Makes for good interaction between Vivio and Syn but that's your and Keroko's department anyway. :p
Well, from 6 to 10, Nanoha was still at home and things were only slowly falling apart (which I'll explain why), and from 11 to 14, the TSAB had decided that no, they weren't going to stick with their original promise and sent Nanoha off-world for a term, meaning Vivio got to spend four years living with whoever was on-world at the time (among which would be Fate, Hayate/Wolkenritter, Chrono, Yuuno, Keroko, and so on).
There will be no questions, only answers *sagely nod* *shot*.
I'm trying to recall some things from mine and my friends' eighth grade lives, infusing a healthy grade of Eva-style feelings of neglect, and at the same time showing Vivio that people do care about her. Syn is helping a lot in that respect, as so far she's been the only constant in Vivio's life. Fate and the other adults are constantly being sent off to do other things.
Looks great. :nod:
Even I can't find a feasible way of killing him off. Closest I ever got to it, Ginga went and "Prince-Charming'd" him back to life. :eyespin:
Go figure what that means. >_>/<_<
Ginga pulled reverse Sleeping Beauty on Tais?

Mage Class: Close-range
Magic Rank: AA+
Magic System: Neo-Belkan
Magic Color: Silver

Height: Short
Weight: Light
Build: Small
Eyes: One Red, one Green
Hair: Blonde.
Hair Style: Long. Formally had a side ponytail, but has dropped it since.
Facial Features: ... like duh?
TSAB Profile: N/A
Personality:
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral, Good Tendancies
Vivio has changed over the years. What was once a bright-eyed girl looking forward to the future is now held back by her own self-doubt and worry. She can be stubborn at times, but has a tendancy to cave in. Years of moving around from place to place have left her feeling mistrustful of others, especially the closer they get to her; the sole exception to this rule is Syn, and the two share a strong bond. Much like her mother Fate, she can be loving and kind, but because of how the past eight years of her life have been thanks to her mother Nanoha, she's not quite as stable as she used to be.
Device: Sacred Dream is a Device created by Aurion Dauer, specifically as a gift to Vivio for her 12th birthday. It's storage form is a red sphere gem with yellow "flames" in it, thus resembling a mix of Bardiche and Raising Heart. When active, the Device becomes a Bo Staff, allowing Vivio to fight in melee. Her own special brand of fighting is directly tuned to the ID, and thanks to the Device's personality, the two get along well. Vivio calls Sacred Dream "Yume", and the Device itself randomly gives Vivio some form of honorific. ("Ma'am, master, mistress, etc.")
Barrier Jacket: As it was briefly in StrikerS, but with different colors; primarily white with red trim.
Spells:
Attack Spells:
Silver Fang: Standard melee spell for Vivio. Two silver "fangs" of light emit out of stand, both of them on the same side and general location. Converts the Staff into a Slashing Weapon.
Silver Spear: As above, but modifies the staff into a Piercing Weapon.
Silver Strike: By charging the staff with magical energy, Vivio unleashes a powerful attack against her opponent.
Sunwell Shot: As Nanoha's Divine Shooter, but at point-blank range (up to 2m), and only one shot per cast.
Moonwell Smasher: Same as Nanoha's Divine Buster, but instead requires significantly more charge time.
Ashbringer: Similar to Fate's Zamber Form; Vivio summons a gigantic blade of energy to attack her opponents with.
Stormstrike: The Staff becomes charged with lightning, and a spear-tip forms again. Vivio can hurl the spear great distances (100m is her record; this is a magically-enhanced throw, mind you).
Medivh: Vivio channels more energy into her staff and swings it in an arc, emitting a powerful burst of energy that causes massive damage (for her rank).
Starlight Sunder: Collection-type energy blast spell. Vivio channels energy into her hands then cuts loose with a torrent of energy.
Oops, forgot defensive spells.
Nice take on future Vivio. Character-wise seems pretty-inline with events and influences so that's another plus point.

As I said, I'll continue to scenes as they finish, and then put the final result in the fanfiction thread. As the story picks up, the scenes will get longer, rather than these little introduction scenes that you're getting. So, here's Maho Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Alpha, Episode I, Scene II:
Non-Administered World 13UH (Uninhabited) - Moon 4
"Man, it's cold. Really cold. Really damn cold, even."
"Vita, language."
0oPi9xy67xw
Vita Yagami looked at the old man who had just scolded her, a glare on her face. "Since when do you care whether or not I curse?"
"Well, I can't let kids I know just fire off remarks like that," Aurion Dauer said, smirking.
"You know I'm older than that!" Vita fired back. Aurion simply laughed and patted her on the head, causing her to flush. "S-stop that, I'm not a kid!"
"No, but you certainly act like one," he asid. "Hmm... it appears that Hayate and the others are late. I thought Tesla was supposed to keep them on time for these kinds of things."
The two were stranded; well, stranded was too strong of a word, as a TSAB assault cruiser was parked in orbit around the moon. Aurion and Vita, were however, alone on the barren moon, which barely had enough oxygen to support the need for it and an atmosphere just thick enough to prevent the oxygen from escaping. Nonetheless, Aurion had an oxygen tank strapped to his back for an emergency, and he was already beginning to feel light-headed. Vita likewise had the same equipment.
Underneath their uniforms, the two wore skintight body suits, which was supposed to help them acclimate to the cold weather. It helped somewhat, but Vita was still shivering as she stared up at the ship just outside of the atmosphere. Aurion seemed unfazed as he tossed a cell-phone shaped Device up and down, watching as it seemed to suspend higher and longer in the air due to the lessened gravity.
"You could stop that at any time, Aurion-san," the Device said.
"I will when Hayate gets here, Almaria," he promised, though from the look on his face he showed no signs of actually stopping.
"Sure you will," Vita muttered, still staring. "Well, here they come. It's about time, I wanna go back home already."
A blink of light emitted from the assault cruiser and approached the moon, slowly growing bigger and dimmer; a result of starlight reflecting less off of it. Aurion narrowed his eyes at the ship, catching Almaria without looking. The ship nosed upward as it approached, deploying landing gear and slowing its descent until it touched down some fifty meters away, kicking up dust and forcing the two already on the ground to cover their eyes. As the ship's engines spooled down, the airlock opened and deployed a ramp downward. Five figures exited the ship and made their way down the ramp, toward the two of them. As they neared, Aurion gave a salute.
"Rear Admiral Tesla Yagami and Brigadier General Hayate Yagami, it's a pleasure," he said firmly.
"At ease, Oji-chan," Hayate laughed, causing both Tesla and the rest of the Wolkenritter to relax by reflex. "How long has it been?"
"Too long," Aurion answered, smiling. "As always, it's nice to see you all."
"It would be nice if you could all show up on time," Almaria chirped.
"...that, too."
"Originally, we were going to teleport," Signum said from behind and to the left of Hayate. "However, in case something goes wrong and they cannot achieve a lock on our signal to get us out, it would be easier to run for the Normandy," She gestured toward the ship behind her. "The crew is on standby, in case we come running out."
"Hmm, good idea," Aurion admitted. "We are dealing with technology that's possibly derived from Al-Hazared itself. True Lost Logia..."
"So that's what this mission is about?" Tesla asked as she and the other Wolkenritter surrounded Aurion as he turned around, making his way to a cave that he and Vita were standing in front of. "More Lost Logia?"
"I was under the impression that Al-Hazared was... somewhere else," Zafira said as the group moved into a single file line with Aurion at the lead and himself at the back. There was a simultaneous activation of flashlights. "At least, that's one of the theories,"
"That's true," Aurion said. "It is one of the theories. However, recent evidence, such as the encrypted signals coming from this moon, suggest that Al-Hazared was a civilization that spanned the galaxy. They probably had such advanced Dimension Warping capabilities that it was as if they were all concentrated in one star system or one world."
"Wouldn't that contradict other evidence?" Hayate asked. "Many of the Relic Lost Logia from the JS Incident was believed to be found on Midchilda, if I recall."
"Yes, but remember the two incidents that took place on your own homeworld of Terra," Aurion said. "Lost Logia are everywhere, Hayate. And haven't you ever wondered why there are so many humans that, genetically, only vary by the percent chance of developing Linker Cores? Why are there humans in Midchilda, Terra, and the other hundreds of administered worlds? Remember, The TSAB has many member worlds that already had humans on them prior to First Contact."
"This is going outside the realm of Lost Logia and into the realm of Scifi," Tesla said, feeling slightly uncomfortable all of a sudden. "Humans on other worlds and Lost Logia spanning the galaxy? So are you saying that Al-Hazaredean humans spanned the galaxy as a sort of Precursor or Forerunner race?"
"That's exactly what I'm saying." Aurion stated.
"He may be right," Rein suddenly piped up from behind Zafira (how long had she been there?). "My kind were far more common back in those days, and there are some Unison Devices that are even older. Really, Agito-san is about nine th-"
"Shut up!" Agito shouted from Signum's shoulder, huffing and crossing her arms. "Anyway, Aurion-san."
"...right..." Aurion resisted the urge to facepalm. "Many Devices from those days seem to speak our languages quite well, don't you think? And don't you think it's odd that Terra is such a huge mash of seem like disparate cultures when most planets by now have a single, unifying one?"
"We don't know," Signum said levelly. "Al-Hazared is one of the larger mysteries of the universe."
"I'm beginning to think that might not be true, Signum," Aurion replied as he slowed down. "For you see, I think we're about to solve one of the galaxy's mysteries. The key, is right behind me."
"What do you mean?" Hayate asked. "You mean, myself? What kind of key?" Aurion didn't answer as he took several steps forward, then turned right, pointing his flashlight down the cavern. He motioned for the rest of the party to approach him, speaking as walked up.
"The galaxy is full of mysteries," he told them. "We are always trying to get the answers to those mysteries. When I was approached by the R&D Division for this Lost Logia case, I was confused. But now, I think I understand. Observe!" He turned sideways and pointed down the cavern. "This cavern is really a long gate, to this!"
Hayate rounded the corner, took one look, and gasped.
Before her was a large, metallic object, roughly two and a half meters tall and thrice that wide at its widest point. The overlapping plates that composed the object seemed to shine in a purple-blue light, seemingly unconnected and yet solid in its design. It was truly a door meant to protect something. And Hayate had the key.
In one of the door's plates, an image was engraved; that of a long staff that opened up at the end in a cross-like shape. As Hayate touched the symbol/etching, it glowed a soft white. "This image..." she whispered. "It's unmistakable..." fingers tightened around the object hanging off of her neck.
The symbol on the door, was an unmistakable match for Schwertkreuz.
The story thickens considerably with each chapter. Great work in short. :D
:eek: IDEA!!!
The Tome of All Journeys, Necro'omnicon, the Earth Book, the First Throne.
The Tome of the Night Sky, Vida'elune, the Moon Book, the Second Throne.

Founded: May MC 071
Commander: Colonel Kouzou Fuyutsuki
HQ Location: Cranagan, Mid-Childa
Equipment: 1x XI Class Warship Longinus, 2x JF-700 Helicopter
Function: Locate, secure, and neutralize rogue Lost Logia/Relics within Mid-Childa as well as high-threat Lost Logia/Relics on other worlds.
History: Division 66 was founded in May MC 071 shortly after the airport disaster. Although it had been proposed just a month prior, the proximity and scale of the Lost Logia/Relic airport incident made it clear to the TSAB council that an organization would be necessary to police local threats to avoid another disaster. The original proposal was drafted and backed by Lt. General Regius Gaiz and as such is under the direct control of the TSAB Ground Forces. This also limited the range of movement of the organization to Mid-Childa, although a clause was later added to allow their jurisdiction to reach to other worlds should there be a potential high-level threat.
The overall division is quite small due to its specialized objectives. They occupy a single 2-story structure just outside the main TSAB Ground Forces HQ with a pair of hangers for the helicopters and a single training structure in the rear. As of their founding, the main forward forces consist of 1st LT. Shamsel Nagisa and 2nd LT. Ryotaro Nogami. Some questioned the use of an experimental system for such an organization, but they were all quickly dismissed by Lt. Gen. Gaiz saying that it was a proven system he had investigated himself and worthy of such a roll.
Despite the intentions of the division, there were several rumors questioning its founding. One sprung from the fact that, after being initially set aside by the Council as not a priority, the airport disaster occurred and practically paved the way for its rushed approval. Second was on the backer, Lt. Gen. Gaiz. Rumors already existed of his dislike for the Navy as well as of the young Hayate Yagami. Many found it odd for him to propose such a group when word spread of Hayate contemplating a similar division of her own.
Kyla: Hmm...
Saint X: That reminds me to compile my group as well...
Edit: I changed my mind... How did something so h4xx ever made it through the screening process? Didn't any of the h4xx busters chop this down to size? Believe me, I was trying..... I barely have enough time to skim the thread these days, let along all the stuff under spoilers. And then replying takes so much time as well, which could be spent doing more enjoyable things than poilcing the thread.
Tk has not been around for some time, and the rest of us went easy on the new guy. A mistake I won't repeat again, mind you.
Why thank you, I'll leave the place to the rest of you guys until I have the time to actuallly be involveed in the thread again.
As Goose and I did with the OFM, though really it was he and TK that hammered out those details. I suck when it comes to stuff like that, I just write stories (It's not that I don't do the research, I just make others do it for me :heh: .)
Oh just forget about my role in the whole thing why don't you :p Although admittedly by contribution to the end result was smaller than Tk's..
About TK... I PM'd him about the whole issue, and his response was... well, interesting. Suffice to say that thanks to the mod police we won't be seeing him much.
Well, GG for that....That's not cool at all :(
I'm trying. TK is a lot better with haxxbusting and I've been trying to pick up from him. My talents are more towards haxxbustingplot/charecter and logic. And quite frankly, I'm rusty at arguing. But I'm working up.
:nod: :nod:
As the rest of you have now doubt noticed, I'm not really a arguer either... I just point out the flaws, which are normally acted upon by the creator.
Time for me to get back to work...

EDIT: Okay...
Since there was really nobody to argue with that would understand what I would be talking about at work, I spent time contemplating just how hard set the TSAB would be in its ways (like I was told to do, several times. YES, I do listen if you hit me over the head enough.)
I've been sitting here working exclusively on the background for McGreggor Archipelligo and the Whole Test Facility as a whole starting from its founding as a Pre War era AFB...

HISTORY:
Abenobashi AFB was founded some time before the war that nearly ripped the planet apart. Its remote location and lack of strategic importance due to small size spared it many of the ravages that the rest of the world had seen in those times.
Shortly after the end of the war, it was converted into a remote dumping ground for the discarded mass weapons and weapons of mass destruction.
A few decades later, the base was reactivated and a new disposal facility constructed on the fourth island (complex D). Various hazzardous waste materials (Mostly Radiological in nature) were removed to be shipped offworld and the dump site magically scrubbed. Three heavily reinforced storage bunkers were constructed for safe keeping of all... less-hazzardous weapons material that had yet to be disposed of. The Seimei dispisal facility was then activated and run from the nearly abandoned Air Force Base.
After the formation of the TSAB, the disposal site remained in operation, being more economical than offworld shipping and disposal via the rather busy Interdimensional Navy. It's remote location in the ocean ensured minimal exposure to the paranoid masses.
On October Tenth, MC 02, the rapidly growing need for some kind of centralized test facility for the advancement of magical systems was realized by the budding TSAB.
After considerable debate. It was decided the new test facility was too much a NIMBY (Not in my back yard) for the mainland, but also far too sensitive and expensive to maintain as an offworld location.
Abenobashi AFB fit the bill for a location that was remote enough to be ignored, and economical to maintain. It also had the required on-site infrastructure already in place for high security measures.
The formation of the BEST Force proved a revitalization factor for the Archipelligo. Within three years of activation, the base became home to the 67th Air/Sea search and rescue unit, and five years later, home to the Abeno Angels Non-mage air vehicle training wing.
The Facility went sharply downhill after it was handed over to its second base commander (Name striken from the record) in the spring of MC 35. Improper handling of the facility's joint projects and lax dissapline of the air wings in close proximity to the sensitive disposal facility had resulted in a number of harsh reactions from the TSAB that nearly had the facility shut down, save for the insistance by the budget handlers that it was the only well maintained, and economical facility of the time. However, the damage to the facility's reputation had earned it the nickname of the TSTB. The Time Space Trash Bin.
In late MC 40, a third base commander, Brig. General D. Schneider, had been sent to replace the incompetent commander after a debacle of accidents that killed several hundred people. The new commander managed to maintain an unsteady status quo from roughly MC 40, to MC 63.
The problems with the Facility, as seen by the TSAB, were the lack of tried and true methods for dealing with an inherently unstable situation that was balanced between the Air Base, the Disposal Site, and the Test Facility. Safety and Security were issues that were under serious threat of total collapse by MC 63, when the third base commander retired.
A new method was to be approached. The TSAB decided to appoint then Col. William Roland as the base commander for the facility, tasked with the arduous job of cleaning up the site's performance. Roland was chosen for his background. An individual from Non-Administrated world 79, with experience in an actual military force... Something midchilda had grown critically short of in the 150 or so years since the war that nearly destroyed the world.
He attacked the task head on, and in three years, turned the Trash Bin of the TSA, into the functional Military Facility needed to maintain the balance. Staff Turnovers in the first three years threatened to shut the facility down several times.
Modern Abenobashi AFB security is some of the tightest in the TSAB. All air traffic is monitored from four-hundred nautical miles away, and a strict exclusion zone is enforced at fifty nautical miles. Projects of the Test Facility are Supervised directly by the base commander, and the Air Force wings in garrison are training almost daily.
Having been Promoted to the rank of Major General, Roland used his success and heavy influence to request authorization to make constructive use of the stockpiles of mass based weapons on-site by the Test Force. The request almost fell through, as much of the Administration Beaurau were deeply entrenched in their position that there was no 'constructive' use for any of the stockpiled weapons scheduled for destruction. However, two years of careful political kneejerking and solidly prepared facts and arguments managed to grant Roland a limited authorization under rather strict conditions.
The first clause cited that all mass weapons redirected to test facility use were to be catalogued, and seccured in a manner that bordered on Hazzardous materials handling procedures. The second clause was that only TSAB Officers could be allowed into the Storage bunkers, and only if the base commander cleared the authorization himself every time, due to his experience with such things, as well as his direct responsibility.
The final clause stated that none of the weapons material was to leave the Base Exclusion Zone in any state other than destroyed, and that Gen. Roland would be heald personally accountable for each and every violation, should they occure.
After that, the TSAB pretty much left it up to Roland to adequetly ensure site security, but sent inspectors at least once a month to ensure these strict procedures were being followed.
As far as these thorough inspections go, the facility has had only one cataloging violation, a miss-numbered fifty calibur anti-material sniper rifle round that had rolled under a desk.
If that's not enough Red Tape to deal with, throw more ideas at me. If I have to depict mass weapons as banned items, I'll throw as much Red Tape at the problem as needed for a bunch of overly paranoid Mid-child(ren)
EDIT 2: Definately a song fitting of some place on the Islands around midnight.

@_@ I think I'll just go to sleep now...
I really should go back to the character bio for Halley Rainier and edit out her Jammer Cannon. For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, it's basically a projectile launcher which launches non-lethal rounds, like glue or netting.
However, since she only had it so she could tag along on adventures despite having almost no magical ability to speak of (rank E-, just enough for mage telepathy), it's not worth trying to argue for her case. I just replaced her role in that Cannon-required scene with Reiz; makes for a bit of a plot hole in that Halley now doesn't actually do anything significant and yet shows up anyway, and the scene is significantly weaker, but at least now it's canonical.
In my defense, I came up with it before episode 14 was released, and after I learned about it, I started working through my notes to edit that out. See, I'm very reasonable when I am told about canon contradictions before I write the damn story.
More OC later. I need to work out a few details, like, say, his name. Overpowered villain, if you're wondering.

A glorified Glue Gun? I think that would probably be allowed on the grounds that it's not really a weapon. More like the equal to a can of MACE... if that.

Referring to Episode 2, the firefighters use "guns" that fire wads of flame redardant foam instead of bringing in hoses. This Jammer Launcher appears to be similar in principle, so it should be alright.
On the other hand, the firefighters were firing foam rounds. Not glue...
Will haxbust and resume tomorrow. I've been out the whole day for Chinese New Year reunions with relatives and have just gotten back, and am heading out again in 10 minutes. *sighs* Sometimes I hate being chinese.
To all chinese in this thread: Gong Xi Fa Cai! Or if you're Cantonese, Kung Hey Fatt Choy!
First try on a OC, it took me longer than I expected.
Hero in Disguise has brought up the idea of a TSAB Intelligence Department, along with its ranks, sections and their respective roles.
So I decided to play along.

Personality
When it comes to strangers, Roland comes as a discreet and laid back individual. He doesn't want to draw attention to him, hence he have gone for the intelligence department when he joined the TSAB.
But once he got in, he worked just enough to get to the ranks allowing him to carry his device but was severely underperforming when it comes to climb the higher ladder of the intelligence. department.
His superiors has tagged him with a slacker or "good potential but too much 'laissez aller' for any progress to ranks with a lot of responsibility" kind of label, excepted when it comes to the study of ancient relics or lost logia.
One thing was sure about him, he is a materialist, he doesn't believe much in the ideals that brought the TSAB in existence. Therefore, he was deeply involved in what seems to be harmless deals to got a little more than his usual income.
However, he is fiercely loyal to his comrades and will go to any lenght to help them.
Personal History
Roland's grandfather was a famous TSAB enforcer. His dedication to justice and great sense of honor earned the "Lion of the TSAB" nickname. Unfortunately, he fell from grace when one of his many enemies set a conspiracy in motion, leading Roland's grandfather to be framed then stripped of his enforcer rank. The grandfather was then forced to retire.
While the young Roland was an ambitious person at heart, the dishonor of his grandfather have drawn him to the conclusion that the secret of happiness is to not draw unwanted attention. Hence he never fought back when he was bullied at school. Instead, he worked harder as an apprentice mage under the relunctant teaching of his grandfather, but also as a fighter.
In school, he always ranked in fourth or fifth place, teachers has then noted about him that he was performing way under his true abilities.
The fact that he joined TSAB, in despite of the infamy left on his name, was a weird combination of luck, work and "behind the curtains" influence from the few people who believed that his grandfather could have been framed.
Upon joining the TSAB, he proved he could be a valuable trump thanks to his magic based on the manipulation of shadows as a mean to spy on people, conceal things or plain annoyance.
As for the period between before and after StrikerS:
Roland has been deeply involved in the illegal trafic of relics, using his own shadow as a pocket dimension to conceal what he wanted to smuggle. He is not at the head of this shady business, being not enough intelligent for that, and have done the best he could to not get caught. As a consequence, he tries to avoid the likes of Acous but it is a matter of time before people start to talk. Because of his general behavior, suspicions over him has been on the low side of the spectrum.
He doesn't have ill intentions, his motives are purely based on money. He looks at the ideals animating the Aces with an amused look, even tho deep inside him, he envy them.
A passionate speech from any of the Ace or Strikers may be needed to bring him back to the right way.
Roland's general fighting and magic style
Roland tries to avoid direct confrontations as much as possible. In close quarter combat, he uses his fencing and savate training to avoid getting hit, occasionally using his shadow magic to pull him out of troubles called Starlight Breaker. His shadow magic was also used to paralyze opponents in the same fashion as binding spells.
Roland's shadow magic is pretty weak when used in daylight, but strong when it is nighttime or when Roland is in a very dark place.
Roland never developed a bombardement-type spell.
Roland's Armed Device
Roland's weapon with a customized Armed Device that speak French instead of German. Outisde of that, there are not any notable features about it. And that's what Roland wished.
Roland's Barrier Jacket
He never considered to design one.
Roland's view on canon characters
Nanoha A truly terrifying character. I am glad I am not under her command.
Fate I think she is too sweet for her current assignation.
Hayate Her weird antics kinda scares me.
Chrono He is okay I guess.
Yuuno A helpful lad. That's what I got from the times I met him in the Library when I needed some informations.
Lindy I admit it, age-defying mothers turns me on.
Signum Someone you dont want to fight on the battlefield.
Vita They are turning the TSAB into a kindergarten or what?
Shamal Good as a nurse, that's about it.
Zafira Hayate has the perfect bodyguard. Who can expect a dog to turn into a very capable fighter?
Reinforce Zwei What's that weird little thing?
Roland doesn't have any opinion on the other canon characters.
Design notes and inspiration
My first try at an OC in nanohaverse or any animeverse ever. I could have gone for the fierce hired killer found in many spy movie but I did not. He is loosely based on the slacker template with a "Dont want to draw unwanted attention" twist a la Kira Yoshikage from JoJo Part 4.
The pic is shamelessly ripped from a pic from Ragnarok Online.
The shadow idea is from Zato-1-One from Guilty Gear without the elements of abomination that made Zato the overpowered monster he has become.
Roland is a fairly common french name while Rafale is taken from the french aircraft.
Flamberge was the name of the sword of the french knight Renaud de Montauban.
A very nicely done OC, just needs some tightening here and there, and the skills will take a while to iron flat to thread correctness, but after reading, crack ignites...Both Artei and Roland were at Fuji's (A pub from Satashi's work). The ex-butler put down the profile his infomation broker just handed him.
Artei: I can see why this is just full of the pieces that you want others to know... But... "You won't punch a guy with glasses on, won't you?" :eyebrow:
Roland: Would you? :)
Artei lashes out, Roland dodges.
Artei: Don't point out the obvious. I'm not paying for Looney Tunes.
Roland: Hai, hai... Two usual, Master Artei? :)
Artei: Uh-huh, and I think your pay packet is due.
*slides a fat envelope over and Roland pockets it without looking*
Art: You're not gonna check it?
Rol: I trust you, Master Artei. :)
Art: Now you're freaking me out. :rolleyes: What's the latest on the Gadgets?
Rol: How about you read it for yourself?
*digs out a memo-sized envelope from coat and hands it over. Artei takes a quick look.*
Art: Hmm... :eyebrow:
Rol: You'd better believe it. It's the freshest catch. :)
Art: Dewa, (returns envelope contents into place) looks like Ojou-sama just called me back.
Rol: Aw, spoilsport. :p
Art: You can have my share then.
Rol: You know I still need to drive to base later... :)
Art: (Hands more bills to the bartender) Keep the change. (leaves with a hand-wave) Thanks man.
Rol: Been a pleasure doing business with you. (gulps down Martini)I basically replaced John Smith with Roland as Artei's information broker. I think he really fits into the mould of things. :nod:
What do you say? :D
:eek::eek::eek:
DETAILS! NAO!!! PM IF NECESSARY!!!:frustrated::frustrated::frustrated: :eyespin::eyespin::eyespin:I think you got the wrong half of the picture from that reaction, so PM coming right up... :D
.... Okay, so why go through all the pain of creating the very unbelievable 'robot tading grandfather' while you have a blatantly obvious (so obvious that even we are wondering why Seven Arcs didn't use it) option available? Just let them tag along with Nanoha & Co.I'd think that'll be bending the rules a little too blatantly. Either that, or its the Asian mentality that all smooth processes involves greasing with Greenbacks, though now its more of Euros than Greenbacks... :heh:
But I'm working on that idea. So far it's the Braummuhls have been buying wholesale from several Terran companies to ship off-planet for incredibly high profit, and among the unwitting parties is the Arisa's and Suzuka's family businesses. This would be how Braummuhl gets his goods to sell, and for many people on Earth to get insanely rich.
As for the clearances, I've taken your ideas into account, and placed Arisa and Suzuka on special visas through the MIB. While having Nanoha and Fate as high-ranking sponsors, the Braummuhls paved the rest of the way with gold for the passes.
Just FYI, the visas had to look reasonably valid, and so on the passes you'll find intriguing details, off the top of my head including things like Burning Arisa and Ghostsweeper Suzuka. :heh:
Actually, my OC Shamsel using a Device very similar to a Glaive called a Naginta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naginta).Taiyo and Kha have Polearm weapons too, but that's using the WoW weapon classification, so no problem there. :nod:
Nothing wrong with a little extra WoW :nod:QFT. :nod:
Hmmm...I dunno about ZA. Although you could include Naxx... :uhoh:I clean forgot about Naxx. :heh: My old guild ran it only once, then BC came out. :p
*ponders about Naxx*

(takes off glasses and floats out)
Foy: Looks like it is our generation who will do the dirty work... Right, Kyrios?
:uhoh:
I've already seen the rough proposal, and this is looking just fine, so go on ahead. :D
Now that you think about it, Colwell Industries also has the expertise to create the Rescue machines... :uhoh::uhoh::uhoh::nod::nod: Considering that Belka had employed the machines until they were decommissioned several years back...
Eh?! :eek:
Artei: Colwell built the Rescue machines?! :eek:
Taiyo: Which also means... They have a list of the previous Robo masters! :eek::eek:
Allie: Now we can confirm who were the last Robo masters from Belka! :heehee:
Schach: (dark aura) Ara... Why the rush to go see who were the last Robo masters? :)
CKs + Confessor: Ah... Haha... Why is Sister Schach looking so fierce suddenly...?:heh::heh::heh:
*runs*
So in fact, Asagi relies on the Braunmuhl's for her Super Sentai fix?

Now I can make her do whatever I want! Mwahahaha--

Would like to see a... PROPER demonstration in the future :nod:
*runs*That would be great especially when fighting tentacle monsters. :nod:
OH SHI--

Yes... the Aura's effects stick long after exposure... like a disease :uhoh:Artei: (face warped into Scream) USOOODAAA!!!
Well, she does own a different kind of ball-like object...
*hears pleasurable moaning*
Matsuri: *hides Scrying Ball*
I-i-it's not what it sounds like!!!!! :upset::heehee:
Turing: "Doing anymore spelunking, Cleric?"
:nod:Then just bring that Braummuhl memo to work from tomorrow onwards.
And yes, be at the boardroom meeting at 9am on 12-03-MC 0065. I'm sure the executives have a lot to hear from you, Chief Executive Officer Turing. :nod:
Artei: Wa-wait! You gave him MY job?
Creator-san: Didn't you get the memo too? :) Go serve Ojou-sama some Earl Grey.
Artei: :eek::eek::eek: :eek::eek::eek: :eek::eek::eek:
UUUSOOODAAAAAA!!!
Explanations in future, but this looks like how things are for now. :D

Asagi: I just want to see him try out the Kibaranger suit!!!! :love:Gimmy: Sorry to break your heart, but no, he does not have Super Sentai Tamashit. It's just one of the products of his overly-high-level sense of humor that relies too much on references.
*Asagi chills in the corner*
Taiyo: Ano... Gimmy-san, that's going a little far... But Kibaranger really wouldn't fit me...
(looks up with fire burning in his eyes)
Because I am a Cleric-knight! And Cleric-knights wear grey!
Dakara!
By the Grace of Sankt Kaiser, I am the Dazzling Adventurer!
BoukenSilver!

I doubt her origins would be known except to the closest few anyway.Not so much about how other people think but how does Vivio herself feel about her origins. I would imagine she will have issues about it like Fate and Erio and both resolved in the end. In her case, she doesn't really know much her original other than the memories she inherited(?).Ah yes memories. We never really dealt about that, even when it came to Fate yeah? Looks like more will agree with more Rebuilt crack. :nod:

Keep getting a LotR vibe from this and

Which just reminded me there's the Tome of Red Dawn and the Tome of Fire on the opposite side of the fence. Missing one perhaps? :uhoh:"One Empress to rule them all, and in her presence cast them."

Now, for the 3rd Update to Atsuki Boukenshaa's Profile, here's Barrier Jacket, Fighting Style, Devices and Offensive Spells:
-------------
Barrier Jacket:
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa299/spec_operations/Belkared.jpg
[13 year old Asagi wearing the Belkaranger Barrier Jacket without visor]
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa299/spec_operations/AsagiColwellBJ.jpg
[23 year old Asagi with Barrier Jacket undersuit]
While heavily inspired by Super Sentai, Asagi had decided that as Belkarangers they’ll try to do something original for once, and they chose their barrier jackets to do so.
Asagi’s barrier jacket resembles a modified school sailor uniform (aka serafuku) with a large white band running down the front of the blouse down to the skirt – a tribute to the Boukenger suit. Accompanying forearm length falconry gloves, and ironically named go-go boots complete the Belkaranger suits.
Unlike most Super Sentai, the Belkarangers don’t wear full helmets, instead choosing to wear wraparound black headphone visors to cover their eyes. The visors also have forehead mounted searchlights for low-light illumination.
While most mages nowadays prefer their barrier jacket transformations quick and easy, Asagi and the Belkarangers like to take their long and flashy, with Super Sentai inspired fancy poses and roll calls complete with sound effects and BGM courtesy of their devices. In Asagi’s case, her routine is taken from Boukenger’s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aose0J5a5Fo), with the call of “Belkaranger, Start Up!” to initiate, and until the arrival of the Accelulars used ANY and ALL flip-top cellphones for props.
Whenever her whim takes her, or when lacking the appropriate prop, Asagi uses other Sentai routines, like the Dekaranger (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRtSgFqFW_s)or Timeranger (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nqcb87Fr36U) routine, using her wallet and her watch respectively for props (and the appropriate removal of clothes for Timeranger revealing her undersuit before transformation).
-----
"*cough*"
-----
For the rest of the Belkarangers, the roll call sequence follows from the first of the trio to perform the henshin sequence. As Asagi is always the first to initiate the Boukenger sequence is the most performed, although different sequences have been performed whenever Julie or Mayura initiate.
-----
"I think I need my own routine..."
-----
Skills and Abilities:
Asagi Colwell is officially a AA+-rank ground combat Knight, despite her magical rank being only C+. This is due to her incredible skill with her sword fighting technique, borne out of years of constant practice under various sword arts, with her base style being the Japanese competitive style of Kendo… and various Super Sentai moves and finishers.
For most of the time, Asagi’s attacks with her sword appear to be very blunt, direct and brash, charging in recklessly at the enemy with a flurry of swipes and slashes propelled by unbridled energy and much gusto (complete with sparks, fireworks and much lovely HISSATSU for that Super Sentai effect).
-----
“I myself would’ve preferred “Itou Ryoudan”…”
-----
Against serious and skilled opponents though, Asagi’s style and demeanor takes a drastic reversal: she becomes an unnervingly calm, silent and calculating fighter, efficient and deliberate in her attacks with precision slashes and impeccably timed feints and lunges. Her preferred tactic is to conserve her strength and magical energy and evade/defend against enemy attack, preparing her stance while controlling the fight to lead the enemy into the creation of an opening or opportunity, on which she’ll exploit by with an EXPLODING CHOU HISSATSU-
-----
"*ehem*"
“Wakata wakata…”
-----
- with one of her powerful one-hit finisher techniques.
While incredibly deadly in close combat, Asagi’s lack of any decent ranged attacks asides from her Buster Shots means she has to rely on other mages, and a combination of her speed and defensive abilities to cover her approach when fighting ranged opponents.
Devices:
As a Knight relying more on her physical prowess than magic, Asagi has mastery over a lot of non-magical weapons, most often swords and staves. This non-reliance on magical devices gives her incredible versatility in her choice of armament, although for maximum effectiveness Asagi uses an array of simple non-intelligent storage and Armed devices.
Survi-Buster (Asagi) –
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa299/spec_operations/bou-ar-survibuster.jpg
Asagi’s most trusted primary weapon. Created by request after her graduation by engineer Aurion Dauer, the Survi-Busters are pistol-like non-intelligent storage devices, inspired from the primary weapons of her favorite Super Sentai group, the Boukenger.
Like its inspiration in the show, the Survi-Buster is a multi-mode weapon with two primary forms: Gun Mode, which is used to cast ranged Buster shots, and the melee use Survi-Blade Mode, where its handle swings back 40 degrees and extends a long double edged blade thus forming a longsword.
Each of the three Belkarangers have their own Survi-Busters, and each is specialized for their respective use. In Asagi’s case, her Survi-Buster is the only one equipped with a cartridge system loaded from an 8-round pistol magazine on the handgrip, and her weapon is defaulted in Blade Form to better accommodate her combat style.
Bouken Bo / Bouken Javelin –
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa299/spec_operations/Bouken-Bo.jpg
Another Boukenger-inspired device created by Aurion, the Bouken Bo is a long shaft device with pincers on its end, used to grab hard to reach objects. In combat the Bouken Bo can open its jaws and extend a double-edged blade to become the Bouken Javelin, which gives her extended reach and power in close combat. Unlike with the original weapon, Asagi can use the “Extension” spell on the Bouken Bo/Javelin, which lengthens its shaft to a maximum of 20 meters giving her unparalleled reach. Like the Survi-Busters, the Bouken Bo is a simple non-vocal non-intelligent storage device, and reduces itself to a standard device card when stored.
Amaterasu –
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa299/spec_operations/Amaterasu.jpg
The only non-Boukenger inspired weapon in Asagi’s arsenal, Amaterasu is an intelligent longsword-shaped Armed-Device that was a family treasure for more than a hundred years, kept as a display piece due to the lack of active mages in the Colwell clan. As the first Colwell mage in nearly two centuries, Amaterasu was thus entrusted to Asagi’s use after her graduation from the TSAB Academy.
As an intelligent Armed Device Amaterasu can be considered Asagi’s primary magical device, as she performs many of her magical abilities through it, from her Barrier Jacket summoning to activating defensive and offensive abilities. Also, both the Survi-Buster and Bouken Bo have been integrated into Amaterasu’s storage form, allowing Asagi to carry all three weapons in a single device, and she can summon any one of her devices separately from it.
In terms of power, Amaterasu has the highest magical processing and storage capacity of Asagi’s three devices despite its lack of a cartridge system, making it the ideal choice for casting high-level magic spells and attacks reaching up to S+. However this ability comes at the cost of increased mana consumption when Amaterasu is unlocked into weapon form. As Asagi is only ranked B in magical power she rarely uses Amaterasu as a weapon, preferring to use it primarily as a mana spell conduit, unless dire circumstances force her to use its power.
On the flip side, Asagi calls the weapon the “Golden Sword” after its bright golden blade – a coincidental similarity to BoukenRed’s weapon in Boukenger. Similarly, she calls the sword’s male AI “Zubaan”.
In storage form, Amaterasu takes the form of a small coin with an ornate sun pattern engraved on its surface hung on a silver chain necklace.
Auxilliary Devices:
Accelular –
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa299/spec_operations/bou-ar-accellular.jpg
Straight out of Boukenger is the Belkarangers all-in-one multipurpose device, the Accelular. This signature cell-phone like device performs almost every function its original can in the show, including cellular phone communication, compass navigation and ultraviolet blacklight. It also has various scanners and sensors that give it incredible detection abilities, ranging from infrared detection to magic scanning.
(The only thing the Belkaranger’s Accelular can’t do is summon GouGou Vehicles…)
While similar in many respects to the original, several changes and improvements have been made to the design, like the replacement of the main LCD display with a 3-D holographic screen and projector, and tougher materials and construction, allowing it to withstand the harsh rigors of field use. Also, the Belkaranger’s intelligent device AI’s can interface with each other through the Accelular’s computer. And like in the show, the GoGo Turbine is used in the mandatory transformation posing sequences (even though their base intelligent devices perform the actual transformation).
For all its usefulness, the Accelulars are a surprisingly recent addition to the Belkaranger’s arsenal, that they only received in late MC0075. The original request for its creation was put forward by Asagi almost five years ago, when she was finally old enough to be given command of the Colwell company finances and facilities. A series of technical problems associated with the creation of such a non-magical multipurpose device delayed the production of the devices, not to mention the questions regarding the merits and benefits of expending large amounts of financial and technical resources into some saw as a mere toy. Fortunately Asagi’s persistence and logistical maneuvering paid off (by mass-marketing a stripped-down version of the Accelulars into the cellular phone market to cover the costs), and the Accelulars now see extensive use by the Belkarangers in the missions.

“Rey, a little help in this section?”
“Of course.”

Offensive Spell List:
As an alumni of Class 0061-Q, Asagi’s primary spells are the so called “Impulse” spells, which are the most basic of Close Combat oriented spells taught to Neo-Belkan students. There are three spells overall, including:
Force -
In martial combat, one requires physical strength and power to deliver the energy required for impact. The most basic spell for many Neo-Belkan practitioners, and also the easiest to learn, is the “Force” spell, which is a basic spell to externally enhance the wielder’s physical strength. This is achieved using a combination of external levitation (and in some cases, Midchilda-style Barrel Rings), which provide additional aid and support on a mage’s arms or legs. This grants a mage extra physical power in lifting heavy weapons, or further enhancing the power behind a strike.
Blast –
Another basic Neo-Belkan spell, “Blast” is a “static kinetic energy” spell applied at a weapon’s impact point, which multiplies the kinetic energy behind a physical blow without the requirement of adding extra momentum or mass. In combat this significantly improves the damage potential of a normally kinetically weak blow, like a punch.
Although the advantages are considerable, the Blast spell creates significant kinetic energy backlash at the item it is used on, whether a weapon or the mage itself. For this reason, application of this spell is most ideal on sturdy, blunt and dense objects with a large surface area on the impact point, like mallets, clubs and hammers, to better absorb and dissipate the backlash. Impact dissipation spells can also be applied to further reduce the backlash’s negative effects.
Sword –
The third of the basic spells, “Sword” is a “focus energy” spell, which enhances a cutting blade or piercing head by reinforcing the material integrity of the cutting area, and also by absorbing kinetic energy on impact and focusing it on the cutting edge. A blade enhanced by this spell can cut through extra-hard and reinforced objects with minimal effort, and this spell can be further enhanced by Force for improved results.
Out of the three Impulse spells listed above, Asagi specializes in the combined use of the Force and Sword Impulse spells, where she both in tandem to improve her physical power, speed and cutting edge. Her mastery of this combination is such that she had demonstrated the ability to cut through 50 inches of industrial-grade steel plate armor with a single stroke – with only a katana in her right hand.
-----
“Which translates to…
Ware ni tateni mono nashi…”
-----
Buster Shot –
Power: C
Range: B
Accuracy:B
Standard mana shooter spell, common amongst all Mid-childa style and Neo-Belkan style mages. Due to Asagi’s specialization in melee combat, her skill in the use of Buster Shot has dropped to minimal levels, thus she uses this primarily against non-magical opponents and C – B rank mages, and as a distraction attack in many cases.
While Asagi can fire Buster Shots barehanded, she always prefer to use it in conjunction with a pistol-like weapon, usually from her Survi-Buster.
Next part, Defensive & Auxilliary Spells and Finishing Moves :D
*phew* That was long :heh:
Referring to Episode 2, the firefighters use "guns" that fire wads of flame redardant foam instead of bringing in hoses. This Jammer Launcher appears to be similar in principle, so it should be alright.
On the other hand, the firefighters were firing foam rounds. Not glue...
The train of thought I had went along the lines of wondering if the laws were paranoid enough (justifiably or otherwise) to at least look askance at anything which could potentially be modified to fire lethal rounds. Yes, Halley loads it with glue shells, but what if she snaps one day and cooks up some napalm?
Also, it's not like Halley actually needs the Jammer Cannon. She's a librarian, and she (in the original concept) made the Jammer Cannon in her spare time because she thought it would be fun to do so, starting from first principles of projectile mechanics. I was going for the "odd, but sometimes amusing" angle; the legal wrangling required now would be, in my view, Not Worth It.
The original purpose for the Jammer was to show that one didn't need to have magical powers in order to make a difference, and it would have been used as an offensively-wielded overpowered can of Mace. The scene in question has Halley using it to distract a villain, who could shrug it off but takes some time doing so, which turns the tide of battle. She doesn't have to be the one attempting the distraction, but I thought it would have been a nice bit of character insight for her.
Sans Jammer, though, now I don't actually have a (good) reason for Halley to exist or play a significant role in the story other than For The Laughs. Her entire purpose was as a sort of plot device as described above, and Reiz (of the 37th CIAA) rooming with May (Halley's subordinate, of the 8th IAR) was supposed to lead to that scene Affirming Nonmagical Usefulness, through an unlikely set of coincidences.
I need a Library unit at the least, but mostly just as a "key" for routine access to the Infinite Library. I'm not sure how much of the original ideas involving the 8th IAR I should keep, since right now they'd seem to be rather non-sequitur.
Tangent: I have no idea why I listed May as a Second Lieutenant. Maybe I was thinking along the lines of "ensign", but she doesn't really need to be a commissioned officer, being, well, a librarian. I should alter it to Private Second Class, perhaps.

For some completely disturbing and strange reason, Chinese New Year felt a lot more like working days than they are holidays. I mean, I am so dogtired with spring cleaning and stuff, I thought it wasn't at all a festival. :uhoh: Guess I'll make do to extort more "prosperity notes" when I have the chance. :p
P/S: Skipping a lot of stuff, namely Lowe's character (two, or was it one), Kagerou's MSLN Alpha (two scenes), Estavali's new Device concept, Keroko's new Syn profile, and some random stuff. Sorry about this, but I'll be missing for quite some time starting tomorrow (going back to hometown), and time is a little pressing on my side. I'll keep these in tabs, though. :D

A dimly lit room. The light from a television was the only source of illumination, revealing a small couch and chair, carpet, a messy coffee table. No other light in the house was visible, though loud crashes in the room above and angry shouts revealed that there was at least one person here. Through the floor, it was impossible to tell what the voice was talking about, but from the occasional pauses that followed the crashing, it was obvious that whatever it was involved violence of some sort.
A scuffle betrayed a presence, in the dark room. Against the back of the couch, a body. Curled up with its back to the couch, arms hugging knees and hands hanging loose. Long dark hair spilled around quivering shoulders. As the arms hugged the knees tighter, a tiny sob escaped.
"I... am empty..." a voice rasped slightly from the body. One that was sad and somehow flat, against the air of the room. Blue-purple eyes looked up, looking haggard and worn, before looking back down.
"I can't stop destiny..."

Episode One: Maho no jumon wa… (My Magical Incantation...)
Cranagan City, Midchilda - MC0083
"That's all for today's studies, kids. Please be sure to complete the assignment by tomorrow, and brush up on your sciences! There might be a test tomorrow, as well!"
A collective groan made its way through the class as twenty-some-odd students closed their textbooks and pushed their chairs back, disheartened at the certainty of the science test tomorrow. Mingled in with these twenty students was a certain blonde, one that stood out more than the others, if only for her eyes; one was red, the other green. As she gently tucked some loose hairs behind an ear, Vivio Takamachi gave the class a cursory once-over as she pushed the chair under her desk, picking up her things and making her way toward the classroom door.
She ignored the looks she was given; something she had learned over the past eight years. It wasn't easy to grow up in a place where, despite the discipline, the more annoying flies had a tendancy to seek her out and try to cause her undue stress. This year, "Boatlights" had been something of a favored insult among the populace, and usually some students would literally go out of their way in order to insult her. It didn't affect Vivio, not really; over the course of her school life, she had grown used to it and generally brushed it off.
More annoying was the accusations. It had been no secret (since she proudly admitted it in first grade) that Vivio had two mothers. As such, she was normally accused of checking the fairer sex out, and when she had to use the restroom, any other girl in there would promptly exit, stage left. No matter that really, there wasn't anything wrong with that kind of thing (Vivio absolutely refused to use the word gay, even if her parents weren't), and that she moreover wasn't; but the social stigma had already been attached. Girls and boys alike only got close to her in order to insult her.
It didn't help that she was considered a foreigner. Her last name, though rather prominent back in the day (not so much now), gave her little credit. Kids purposely got her last name of Takamachi wrong, and at one point it got so annoying that she considered switching her last name to Harlown just to shut them up. That would break Nanoha-mama's heart, of course, she had thought at the time.
These days, she was seriously considering it.
"Oi, dork," a voice said behind her before a finger rammed its way to the back of her head. "What's with the gloom and doom look? Not lookin' forward to going home again?"
"Same as usual," Vivio replied, looking at her one and only friend; a blue-haired girl named Syn Virage. The two were as much of a match as any; Syn had an eyepatch on at all times, was one of the tallest girls in school, and refused to consider Vivio a freak. This of course made them a pair of freaks, which led to the Schoolgirl Lesbians rumor that circulated around them. Not that they cared. But it got annoying. "Nanoha-mama will probably be home by now, and Fate-mama probably won't be home for another few hours. So it figures I'll be stuck making dinner again."
"You know what I think?" Syn said as the two turned down the main hall that led to the front door. "I think you need to kick Nanoha-san's ass a little, you know? She's twenty-eight, for crying out loud, and she's been pittling like a 12-year old for, what, four or five years now?"
"Ever since she came back from... what's that world again?" Vivio thought for a minute. "Oh, I can't remember. World Seven-Eleven or something like that." she sighed. "I mean, I can understand that she was pissed because the TSAB transferred her after promising not to so she could stay home, but it's not anything to get upset about." Vivio's temple cross-popped. "I just don't understand her problem!"
"Well, she's your mom, you should," Syn pointed out. "...okay, well, maybe not. But still, maybe there was something that- Yeah, that's why your girlfriend was screaming my name last night, dickweed!" Syn interrupted her talk with Vivio to fire back at a student who had taken a moment to shout something involving the words "girls" and "sex". "Anyway, as I was saying, maybe something happened on that world, you think?"
"I dunno..." Vivio sighed again, looking down and away. "I just wish she'd go back to the way she used to be. I'm tired of seeing her try to force a smile, and fail. Fate-mama is slowly losing it, and oneechan doesn't come along nearly as much as she used to..." Vivio turned her head to look at Syn, chuckling slightly. "I'm sorry. How many times have you heard this?"
"Don't matter," Syn replied, patting Vivio on the back. "I'm your friend, that's what I'm here for," A smile lit up on her. "Besides, I'm your girlfriend, right?"
"Oh, shut up," Vivio laughed as the two walked outside. "Well... I'm gonna go home now. Gotta make dinner before I do my homework..." she looked up at the sky. "It's a pretty day, and I'm gonna be stuck in the house. Figures."
"Well, we don't have school tomorrow," Syn mentioned. "You, uh, wanna go hang out?"
"Sure!"
Vivio smiled at Syn again. "I'll see ya tomorrow, then! I'll call you!"
"Okay! I'll be waiting, so if you don't call, I'm coming over and punching you in the face!" Vivio rolled her eyes and bumped shoulders with the shorter blue-haired girl.
"Shut up, honey," she joked.
"After you do, dear," was the return. "Now go fly home."
"Yeah, yeah." Vivio walked past her friend and paused, taking a deep breath. "Ready, Yume?"
[Yes, ma'am.] A red and yellow gem said from Vivio's necklace. [Glider Fin.] Four wings of light appeared on Vivio's shoes, and with a hop, the girl took to the air. She couldn't help but feel a little accomplished at that; although flight was restricted in the city, Vivio had a relaxed license on it thanks to the school she went to and her own... unique accomplishments.
It wasn't every day that a 14-year old girl was AA rank, after all.
It wasn't every day that a 14-year old girl had to take care of one of her mothers, either.
My biggest question for you guys: What do you think Vivio will be like as a 14-year old? I'm playing it safe and showing very little of a personality right now other than just being a teenager, but as the story continues I'll be showing more of it. I'm guessing some mix of Nanoha and Fate, along with typical teenage mannerisms thrown in for good measure.
And also, Syn Virage isn't my creation. She's one of Keroko's OCs that was posted pages ago.
Well, it does seem a bit strange that Nanoha would be distressed over the transfer. Still, this makes for a good introduction, and I'm mighty curious over the first few sentences of an unknown person. Promising indeed. And, oh, by the way, why "boatlights" of all things?
This is 1 and 1/2 hour late, and thus probably useless. No thanks to my mom, who hogged my computer for that amount of time to write a 200 word email. :frustrated:
Don't we have them all the time? They are, however, trying very hard, so just give them the required room. :p
Lowe's got most of it right :D ; I'll expand from there, digging up from what I've read and researched on how things happen:
1. The first stage in the debriefing process is what is called the "Hot Wash" - at least, by American forces. This is where everyone comes in and does an oral critique of what happened, what went wrong, what went right, etc etc. When this takes place is normally at the discretion of the CO and unit styles, but generally you want to do it within the first 24 hours. For example, Rangers will do their hot wash immediately; according to CSM (Ret) E.L. Haney, Delta lets you sleep first, then hot wash. SEALs also tend to do the hot wash immediately, then rest. The idea of the hot wash is that it's a quick preliminary debriefing, a recap of what happens.
2. After the hot wash, you go and catch some sleep and food. Then, you go, get interviewed again on what happened - because there's the chance that you may remember something you'd forgotten.
3. Third step is the writing of the AAR: After Action Report. This is your account and report of what happened, warts and all, good and bad; your personal AAR will be filed up with the mission documentation. There will be both a main AAR written by the brass on the mission, and the individual AARs written by those woh participated in the battle; to give an example, there are at least 3 AARs on the Battle of Magadishu, written by USAF Technical Sergeant Dan Schilling, Delta Force Sergeant First Class Paul Howe, and SEAL Chief John Gay (I am not making up the last name. A side piece of trivia: Gay and 3 other SEALs from SEAL Team Six/DEVGRU were in the Lost Convoy, and Gay took a bullet to the hip. The bullet hit his combat knife, shattering the blade, but he lived and wasn't paralysed. One of those SEALs was a Lieutanant Commander Eric T. Olsen, now Admiral Eric T. Olsen, Commanding Officer USSOCOM.) These individual AARs are in addition to the overall AAR prepared by Task Force Ranger's staff.
4. Final debrief and evaluation. Everyone gathers together, they all go through the mission one last time, and then the brass evaluates what went right, what could have been done better, and so on. Depending on the unit and the brass, this may be fairly interactive. (In the recollections of Captain Mike Steele, Delta Force planning and debrief sessions have a great deal of Fuck Yous thrown around, with ever rising hot blood and adrenalin until it appeared as if everyone's ready to fight each other. :heh:)
5. AARs are collected and the Brass finishes up on the main AAR that gives an overview of the whole mission.
Well, looks definately interesting. Can't wait to see more!
The idea of the hot wash is that you get the basic first impressions of the soldiers, which are then used as your first draft. Then you send them to sleep and get some food, they come back refreshed, and then you redo the debriefing. The reason it's called Hot Wash is because you're stepping right from the heat of battle, where the memory is the freshest. SEALs are firm believers in immediate hot wash and debriefing, though this is probably due to the fact that SEALs deal with highly time-sensitive intelligence.
To expand further, and to repeat, whether they get the resting time depends on the whole process. As I've mentioned above, debriefing isn't just a one-off thing: there's the hot wash and then further reports.
To sum up, process is as follows: Immediate hot wash, rest & food, 2nd debrief & interview, AAR writing, final debriefing. Normally the first few steps will take place withing 24 hours (Hot wash, 2nd debrief, AAR writing). The Final debrief and overall command-level AAR will normally show up within 48-72 hours, to give time for all the other aspects to be sorted through and checked.
To pull an example from the Battle of Mogadishu (mainly because it's the most recent that sticks in my mind), the hot wash was conducted within several hours after the Rangers and Deltas were recovered and the wounded were treated. Once they did their hot wash, they got some rest, but then after that did another debrief and wrote their individual AARs, which where then compiled as part of a main document brief (there is an official AAR for the Battle of Mogadishu, which was among the sources used by Bowden when writing Black Hawk Down; the AARs written by Schilling, Howe and Gay were also of great importance and relevance. Which just goes to show that while troops may hate AARs, they're useful.)
Also, if it's really, really really serious and/or time sensitive, Hayate will need to cut her time alot. Garrison was on the phone to SOCOM and the President less than an hour after the final wounded had come in, reporting the mission results. Perhaps something like, "Sir, we got our asses kicked, and will give you the AAR in 8 hours time."
Ah, this is certainly very useful. I have a very clear picture now of how it goes (and the appropriate terms to use). Thanks a lot! :D
Ark, if it has a 2km radius of destruction, ground zero will have a diameter of 4km.
1km radius max; 2km diameter. THAT is the max OC will accept for an initial blast crater. 15km seems a bit too high for the secondaries though.
Note that the Arc has a radius of100km, meaning that ground zero is 200km in diameter.
Which seems very unlikely that any sane OC is capable of doing.
Heck, I even think it's overpowered to have anything beyond a 1-km destruction radius. The number may look small, but realism isn't. I tried imagining a 1-km radius shield in place (my idea on Hayate tanking the wave initially), and it didn't just seem possible. Absurd even. Through equipment, maybe, but a single person?
As for recommended reads, I suggest, Nightengale's if you want something good, USB500's (Lone Wolf Neo on ff.net) The Sleeping Lyrical and Magical Girl Lyrical Cinderella for crack, PhoenixFlare's stuff is also good. For OCs try Keroko, Aaron008R, Lowegear, FlameSparkZ, Kagerou and Wild Goose. You can also try Tormenk's Katrina and Satty's Betrüger for villains.
The scene is in no way Awesome. If you want awesome, I suggest you read this Part XIV Verse Finality ~ Ender’s Nightmare (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1020570&postcount=3240) by Nightengale.
Thanks for the recommendation, though my personal recommendation would be Nighty's or USB's works first if you want something creative and that doesn't burn your eyes with walls of text. :p
Regarding the links, Nightengales stuff, PhoenixFlare's stuff are the major standouts. Although there has been plenty of other stories floating around that have been equally as good, Lowes diabetes inducing fluff, USB's awesome shorts. Character wise, well you'll have to find out for yourself...
Some of Lowe's aren't as diabetic, I am looking forward for more of those stuff (er, I don't think you named the fiction, did you, Lowe) he wrote about Mai and Smith and Wesson. Unless I missed the continuation already? :uhoh:

… or at least, that’s what Asagi would want you to believe.
Asagi was born into the inner circle of wealth via parents Allen and Amelia Colwell, the 4th generation heads of Colwell Heavy Industries, one of the largest manufacturers of heavy industrial and commercial equipment and vehicles in Midchilda. As the only child, and with no male siblings forthcoming, Asagi became the sole heir to her family’s legacy; as such was raised with all the expectations of the day when she would take over responsibility for the multi-million dollar family business.
This decadent and secure lifestyle of preparation and study did not appeal to the young Asagi, who seemed to long for something more, a meaning and purpose to her life beyond the prospect of being heir to the family fortune. Eternally bored and hopelessly apathetic it seemed that she was doomed to a life of predictability and clockwork.
That meaning soon came knocking into her doorstep one day via a visit from her long-time friend Mayura Labatt, who had just returned with her family from a vacation on Earth, the 97th Administered World. Bearing gifts from her trip Mayura excitedly showed off her spoils to the normally uninterested Asagi, one of them being a DVD of an entire season of the live-action show “GoGo Sentai Boukenger” .
----------
“Even in this era, there are those that venture into unknown worlds.
They are called “Adventurers”.”
----------
It only took 25 minutes. But a burning passion had been ignited. And when she found out that this was only the tip of the iceberg, Asagi was hooked permanently.
Her obsession known as “Super Sentai” was born.
Endowed with the newly inspired values of Courage and Justice, Asagi aspired to become like the transforming heroes she idolized. It helped that she had innate magical aptitude, and had been a prominent figure in sports, particularly the swordsmanship known as “Kendo”. And so despite her parent’s misgivings, she enrolled into the Time Space Administration Bureau Cadet Academy along with her friends Mayura Labatt and Julie Liu Ming to train as Bureau mages at the age of 13.
By this time the events of the Book of Darkness case had accelerated the revival of Belka-style combat magic, and the three girls were chosen to partake in study under the now three-year-old experimental Class 0061-Q, the first batch of cadets to learn the discipline to be known as Neo-Belka. It was here that they displayed their uncanny prowess in close combat and martial arts. Asagi in particular was known as the best swordfighter of the class, and was even considered to be close to the league of known melee specialists like Fate Testarossa and the Wolkenritter Signum… if only she didn’t have a penchant for Super Sentai-inspired theatrics and drama, which earned her and her friends - now calling themselves the “Belkarangers” - equal parts amusement, frustration and disbelief amongst their peers and superiors.
The most memorable of these incidents was during their final live-fire obstacle course, when Asagi, Mayura and Julie performed a 2-minute long flashy transformation and roll call complete with lighting effects and fireworks… in the middle of combat with hundreds of training rounds and ordnance flying everywhere. Incredulously enough, the three girls not only managed to complete the course completely unscathed, but also nabbed the 2nd fastest time for the class, losing only by a couple of seconds to Cadet Glock Heckler.
------
Eyes rolled at the reading of the last part.
“You know what I’m gonna say about that Kay.”
“I didn’t say anything. See?”
With tongue in cheek, Kay continued typing.
-------
Nonetheless, Asagi, along with Mayura and Julie graduated with flying colors, and served under the 79th Ground Batallion under General Hiram Maxim’s command for 8 years, alongside squadmates Shinobu Nakajima, Darry Milfuelle, and underlings Remington Smith and Colt Wesson.
They were honorably discharged from service after their mandatory term ended in October MC0072 – only a few weeks before the 79th would be engaged in the “Hell Girl” incident, which would see the loss of many of their former comrades, including the devastating loss of close personal friend Shinobu Nakajima.
In memory of her fallen friend, Asagi has founded the Search Guard Successor Foundation (or S.G.S.), a secret privately-funded freelance organization working closely with the TSAB dedicated to searching for and cataloging Lost Logia (which Asagi refers to by the alternative term “Precious") in the hopes of preventing more Lost Logia incidents from happening. Recently the SGS once lent limited aid to the Bureau’s special taskforce Riot Force 6, providing anonymous tips and information regarding the location of various artifacts and Lost Logia.
Today, Asagi’s Belkarangers continue their hunt for Lost Logia, and fighting to prevent the valued artifacts from falling into the wrong hands… and looking cool, snip and awesome while doing so, in the spirit of the show long ago that changed her life forever.
-----------
Personality:
If there’s one word to describe Asagi, it would be this:
EXTREME
Asagi is a person who lets her emotions take over and run wild in a rampage once something ignites her passions, and for maximum effect nothing gets her passions burning more than a good dose of Super Sentai.
She’s a person whose emotions and feelings reach the limits of the emotional spectrum: in a single moment she can experience the highest of highs, then crash into the lowest depths of depression, then a minute later rebound into a ball of energy like the best thing in the world just happened. And once her mind has been set on a particular task at hand Asagi’s persistence to complete it borders on the unbelievable: much like trying to stop a speeding truck with your bare hands, Asagi’s stubbornness in completing what she started is impossible, lest one is willing to become Supermanto stop her. This stubbornness is legendary amongst everyone she meets, and especially her friends.
Along with these emotional highs Asagi has a flair for the dramatic bordering into the absurd. Given the choice between two equally effective plans in any situation, Asagi will choose the most direct method and transform it into the flashiest, most dramatic, most explosive operation ever complete with DYNAMIC ENTRY, HENSHIN, ROLL CALL and SPECIAL EFFECTS, and sparing no expense and pulling no punches in execution no matter how ludicrous the plan may sound on paper.
(Mayura and Julie call this the “Dynaman Syndrome”, aka “You can never have too many explosions”).
Thankfully her two friends refine her plans into a more sensible working draft before execution.
But full of energy doesn’t mean totally mindless: Asagi was raised as heir to a massive multi-million dollar industrial company built on technology, and as such has the smarts to participate in business and financially related matters, and when absolutely required she is able to play the role of the dainty, restrained and gentle young princess, graceful and elegant in manner and poise.
(It has been suggested that perhaps it’s the massive amounts of energy trapped and repressed when Asagi acts in such a manner that explains where her… explosive behavior afterwards.)
Still, for all her loud and rash behavior Asagi is surprisingly difficult to anger, perhaps due to the optimism she has acquired over the years, and her naturally forgiving nature (some have dubbed her the Goddess of Forgiveness for it). But as with everything she does, once her wrath has been released her fury shall not be sated until her grudge lies on the floor in the puddle of their own blood, preferably chopped up into tiny little pieces (Thankfully Mayura and Julie have prevented Asagi from progressing past the point of making the victim unrecognizable) – or she is appeased through a good showing of "MOERO RESCUE TAMASHII".
All this has stemmed from Asagi’s love of the show that defined her life: Super Sentai. She breathes, she eats, she sleeps, she dreams – in short, she LIVES Super Sentai. Her devotion to Super Sentai has sometimes bordered on the downright OBSESSIVE, like the infamous Shopping Spree of 2011 that left many a retailer on Japan several thousand dollars richer, store shelves empty, and has caused many less fortunate Super Sentai fans in much wailing and gnashing of teeth as stores waited to be restocked of their much beloved merchandise.
As is the case with many who are exposed to Japanese culture and are enamored by it, Asagi intersperses Japanese a lot into her speech, sometimes with unintelligible results. And one of Asagi’s pet peeves is in people bunching together Super Sentai with its Americanized counterpart Power Rangers, going out of her way to ‘educate’ people on the difference between the two franchises, and on how the latter is inferior to the origina-
-----
“Kay, what'd I tell you?"
“Sorry Glock… couldn’t resist.”
*backspace*
-----
… the two franchises.
Despite her many eccentricities (or perhaps because of it), Asagi is still well-loved by those closest to her, especially Mayura and Julie, and her unrelenting perseverance and determination has at least earned her the respect of many of her colleagues. Also, her unique brand of Super Sentai wisdom and energy has rubbed off a few people not only with Mayura and Julie, but most notably on the gunslinger pair Remington Smith and Colt Wesson, transforming them into the crack duo they are today.
Updated with Personality section. Skills, Devices and Abilities next!
EXTREME indeed, though I like her. :D Very much. :D:D She does seem to be having the flair for the "GoGo Sentai Boukenger" stuff (though, hopefully, I don't get myself wrong that she's transforming with her partner :uhoh:). Guess Power Rangers is out of the scene for good. :uhoh::uhoh::D
Being at the wrong place, wrong time with a Luck ranking of F is pretty used for male characters in a comedic series, but it's hilarious, and that's what counts!
Thanks!

Xena's List of Things to Do:
1. Clear all existing tasks in the way of OC life.
2. Create a character. Avoid h4xx (IMPERATIVE)
3. Draw my own character pictures.
Um, right...I can sort of see you looking like your avatar now...
*runs*
Adapting in here is far easier than you may think, and we're all eager for the feast of the eyes. :D
You need not worry, especially on the second point. We'll try to nitpick it.
As clean as possible. :p
*wave* Welcome to the thread XD.
You've probably noticed already but it's a fairly friendly place in here. If you're looking for ideas, there's a whole bunch of character profiles listed on the very first page of the thread (post 5). I would normally link it, but I'm about ready to drop to sleep..:heh:
The thread has gotten slower in recent times, but you will ineveitably wake up to find pages of discussion so I hope you're ready for the backlog that can approach without warning :p Learning to read what's important for you is a good skill to develop, since there's normally a number of discussions going on at the same time.
Just keep in mind that you're making an OC for the Nanoha verse, so adjust accordingly for it's power rankings and we(the haxxbusters[I'm one]) won't be too fussed. What you do can affect what the rest of do in here( See phoenixflare and his OC pulling story) so having it relatively balanced just makes it easier for the rest of us to draw you into this seemingly cracktastic world of ours :p
Have fun, and I'll look forward to your OC, as well as the pretty pictures XD.
I didn't actually realize that I was affecting anything much in here (except, maybe inspiring Chrono to be an Admiral as he should be), but thanks all the same. A lot of the works here have similar effects as well. :D And yep, the fifth post on the first page is a motherlode of information (dubbed an Infinite Library in itself :D).
Edit: FA, Erio's gone off on some trip and should be back something this week. Not too sure about FSZ. And I think(could be wrong here) C2F has started NS...
Ah, that explains their absence, though Chaos was still around some time ago. Well, we shall wait for their return, then. :D

Can I expect ... something more ... on AxH? :p
*runs as Aaron explodes with fiery rage on the possible implication*
Actually Tk did post here awhile ago. The two posts was his h4xbuster opinion on ATC's stuff, putting it mildly. A mod deleted both for being pointless and off-topic. What's left of the original two posts are bits and pieces quoted by me Aaron and Wild Goose about other stuff.
Ah, no wonder. Still, it's good to know that he's around.
Concidering this thread is currently on the moderators 'to watch' list for that very reason (point in case Tk's deleted posts) I'd say that is a very valid reason. None of us want to see this thread closed.

Looks like PF hasn't lost his touch for creating BlueCheese bombs. :eyespin: I'll be running towards this bomb when it arrives. :D

Sniper Rifle is good. :nod:
I have three forms in mind. First being the sniper rifle form, which is a definite now, second something suited for engagements in close range or enclosed areas, so something like a light machine gun I guess.
Last form is clearly whack and for coolness-factor. Big cannon ala Dieci's Enormous Cannon or buster rifles styled after Vayaete or Wing 0. :uhoh: Well nothing in power like their originals of course. Biggest shot from that probably measures up to loli Nanoha's Divine Buster :heh:
You want that crew-served or man-portable? :nod:
Well the more yan they are, the greater the effect of being dere is. Tsunderes are noted to displayed such traits as well. :nod::D
Exactly. And to that very-special-person-in-her-world, she'll show him all of that delicious dere for free :nod:

Both Artei and Roland were at Fuji's (A pub from Satashi's work). The ex-butler put down the profile his infomation broker just handed him.
Artei: I can see why this is just full of the pieces that you want others to know... But... "You won't punch a guy with glasses on, won't you?" :eyebrow:
Roland: Would you? :)
Artei lashes out, Roland dodges.
Artei: Don't point out the obvious. I'm not paying for Looney Tunes.

Rol: Been a pleasure doing business with you. (gulps down Martini)I basically replaced John Smith with Roland as Artei's information broker. I think he really fits into the mould of things. :nod:
What do you say? :D
So we're slowly but surely crossing over Satashi's works here in OC? :uhoh:

*Plays On The Road (http://www.esnips.com/doc/681041b2-4328-4d35-9a64-0eea2b644be8/2006---GouGou-Sentai-Boukenger---ON-THE-ROAD)*
Now, for the 3rd Update to Atsuki Boukenshaa's Profile, here's Barrier Jacket, Fighting Style, Devices and Offensive Spells:
-------------
Barrier Jacket:
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa299/spec_operations/Belkared.jpg
[13 year old Asagi wearing the Belkaranger Barrier Jacket without visor]
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa299/spec_operations/AsagiColwellBJ.jpg
[23 year old Asagi with Barrier Jacket undersuit]
While heavily inspired by Super Sentai, Asagi had decided that as Belkarangers they’ll try to do something original for once, and they chose their barrier jackets to do so.
Asagi’s barrier jacket resembles a modified school sailor uniform (aka serafuku) with a large white band running down the front of the blouse down to the skirt – a tribute to the Boukenger suit. Accompanying forearm length falconry gloves, and ironically named go-go boots complete the Belkaranger suits.
Unlike most Super Sentai, the Belkarangers don’t wear full helmets, instead choosing to wear wraparound black headphone visors to cover their eyes. The visors also have forehead mounted searchlights for low-light illumination.
While most mages nowadays prefer their barrier jacket transformations quick and easy, Asagi and the Belkarangers like to take their long and flashy, with Super Sentai inspired fancy poses and roll calls complete with sound effects and BGM courtesy of their devices. In Asagi’s case, her routine is taken from Boukenger’s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aose0J5a5Fo), with the call of “Belkaranger, Start Up!” to initiate, and until the arrival of the Accelulars used ANY and ALL flip-top cellphones for props.
Whenever her whim takes her, or when lacking the appropriate prop, Asagi uses other Sentai routines, like the Dekaranger (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRtSgFqFW_s)or Timeranger (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nqcb87Fr36U) routine, using her wallet and her watch respectively for props (and the appropriate removal of clothes for Timeranger revealing her undersuit before transformation).
-----
"*cough*"
-----
For the rest of the Belkarangers, the roll call sequence follows from the first of the trio to perform the henshin sequence. As Asagi is always the first to initiate the Boukenger sequence is the most performed, although different sequences have been performed whenever Julie or Mayura initiate.
-----
"I think I need my own routine..."
-----
Skills and Abilities:
Asagi Colwell is officially a AA+-rank ground combat Knight, despite her magical rank being only C+. This is due to her incredible skill with her sword fighting technique, borne out of years of constant practice under various sword arts, with her base style being the Japanese competitive style of Kendo… and various Super Sentai moves and finishers.
For most of the time, Asagi’s attacks with her sword appear to be very blunt, direct and brash, charging in recklessly at the enemy with a flurry of swipes and slashes propelled by unbridled energy and much gusto (complete with sparks, fireworks and much lovely HISSATSU for that Super Sentai effect).
-----
“I myself would’ve preferred “Itou Ryoudan”…”
-----
Against serious and skilled opponents though, Asagi’s style and demeanor takes a drastic reversal: she becomes an unnervingly calm, silent and calculating fighter, efficient and deliberate in her attacks with precision slashes and impeccably timed feints and lunges. Her preferred tactic is to conserve her strength and magical energy and evade/defend against enemy attack, preparing her stance while controlling the fight to lead the enemy into the creation of an opening or opportunity, on which she’ll exploit by with an EXPLODING CHOU HISSATSU-
-----
"*ehem*"
“Wakata wakata…”
-----
- with one of her powerful one-hit finisher techniques.
While incredibly deadly in close combat, Asagi’s lack of any decent ranged attacks asides from her Buster Shots means she has to rely on other mages, and a combination of her speed and defensive abilities to cover her approach when fighting ranged opponents.
Devices:
As a Knight relying more on her physical prowess than magic, Asagi has mastery over a lot of non-magical weapons, most often swords and staves. This non-reliance on magical devices gives her incredible versatility in her choice of armament, although for maximum effectiveness Asagi uses an array of simple non-intelligent storage and Armed devices.
Survi-Buster (Asagi) –
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa299/spec_operations/bou-ar-survibuster.jpg
Asagi’s most trusted primary weapon. Created by request after her graduation by engineer Aurion Dauer, the Survi-Busters are pistol-like non-intelligent storage devices, inspired from the primary weapons of her favorite Super Sentai group, the Boukenger.
Like its inspiration in the show, the Survi-Buster is a multi-mode weapon with two primary forms: Gun Mode, which is used to cast ranged Buster shots, and the melee use Survi-Blade Mode, where its handle swings back 40 degrees and extends a long double edged blade thus forming a longsword.
Each of the three Belkarangers have their own Survi-Busters, and each is specialized for their respective use. In Asagi’s case, her Survi-Buster is the only one equipped with a cartridge system loaded from an 8-round pistol magazine on the handgrip, and her weapon is defaulted in Blade Form to better accommodate her combat style.
Bouken Bo / Bouken Javelin –
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa299/spec_operations/Bouken-Bo.jpg
Another Boukenger-inspired device created by Aurion, the Bouken Bo is a long shaft device with pincers on its end, used to grab hard to reach objects. In combat the Bouken Bo can open its jaws and extend a double-edged blade to become the Bouken Javelin, which gives her extended reach and power in close combat. Unlike with the original weapon, Asagi can use the “Extension” spell on the Bouken Bo/Javelin, which lengthens its shaft to a maximum of 20 meters giving her unparalleled reach. Like the Survi-Busters, the Bouken Bo is a simple non-vocal non-intelligent storage device, and reduces itself to a standard device card when stored.
Amaterasu –
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa299/spec_operations/Amaterasu.jpg
The only non-Boukenger inspired weapon in Asagi’s arsenal, Amaterasu is an intelligent longsword-shaped Armed-Device that was a family treasure for more than a hundred years, kept as a display piece due to the lack of active mages in the Colwell clan. As the first Colwell mage in nearly two centuries, Amaterasu was thus entrusted to Asagi’s use after her graduation from the TSAB Academy.
As an intelligent Armed Device Amaterasu can be considered Asagi’s primary magical device, as she performs many of her magical abilities through it, from her Barrier Jacket summoning to activating defensive and offensive abilities. Also, both the Survi-Buster and Bouken Bo have been integrated into Amaterasu’s storage form, allowing Asagi to carry all three weapons in a single device, and she can summon any one of her devices separately from it.
In terms of power, Amaterasu has the highest magical processing and storage capacity of Asagi’s three devices despite its lack of a cartridge system, making it the ideal choice for casting high-level magic spells and attacks reaching up to S+. However this ability comes at the cost of increased mana consumption when Amaterasu is unlocked into weapon form. As Asagi is only ranked B in magical power she rarely uses Amaterasu as a weapon, preferring to use it primarily as a mana spell conduit, unless dire circumstances force her to use its power.
On the flip side, Asagi calls the weapon the “Golden Sword” after its bright golden blade – a coincidental similarity to BoukenRed’s weapon in Boukenger. Similarly, she calls the sword’s male AI “Zubaan”.
In storage form, Amaterasu takes the form of a small coin with an ornate sun pattern engraved on its surface hung on a silver chain necklace.
Auxilliary Devices:
Accelular –
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa299/spec_operations/bou-ar-accellular.jpg
Straight out of Boukenger is the Belkarangers all-in-one multipurpose device, the Accelular. This signature cell-phone like device performs almost every function its original can in the show, including cellular phone communication, compass navigation and ultraviolet blacklight. It also has various scanners and sensors that give it incredible detection abilities, ranging from infrared detection to magic scanning.
(The only thing the Belkaranger’s Accelular can’t do is summon GouGou Vehicles…)
While similar in many respects to the original, several changes and improvements have been made to the design, like the replacement of the main LCD display with a 3-D holographic screen and projector, and tougher materials and construction, allowing it to withstand the harsh rigors of field use. Also, the Belkaranger’s intelligent device AI’s can interface with each other through the Accelular’s computer. And like in the show, the GoGo Turbine is used in the mandatory transformation posing sequences (even though their base intelligent devices perform the actual transformation).
For all its usefulness, the Accelulars are a surprisingly recent addition to the Belkaranger’s arsenal, that they only received in late MC0075. The original request for its creation was put forward by Asagi almost five years ago, when she was finally old enough to be given command of the Colwell company finances and facilities. A series of technical problems associated with the creation of such a non-magical multipurpose device delayed the production of the devices, not to mention the questions regarding the merits and benefits of expending large amounts of financial and technical resources into some saw as a mere toy. Fortunately Asagi’s persistence and logistical maneuvering paid off (by mass-marketing a stripped-down version of the Accelulars into the cellular phone market to cover the costs), and the Accelulars now see extensive use by the Belkarangers in the missions.

“Rey, a little help in this section?”
“Of course.”

Offensive Spell List:
As an alumni of Class 0061-Q, Asagi’s primary spells are the so called “Impulse” spells, which are the most basic of Close Combat oriented spells taught to Neo-Belkan students. There are three spells overall, including:
Force -
In martial combat, one requires physical strength and power to deliver the energy required for impact. The most basic spell for many Neo-Belkan practitioners, and also the easiest to learn, is the “Force” spell, which is a basic spell to externally enhance the wielder’s physical strength. This is achieved using a combination of external levitation (and in some cases, Midchilda-style Barrel Rings), which provide additional aid and support on a mage’s arms or legs. This grants a mage extra physical power in lifting heavy weapons, or further enhancing the power behind a strike.
Blast –
Another basic Neo-Belkan spell, “Blast” is a “static kinetic energy” spell applied at a weapon’s impact point, which multiplies the kinetic energy behind a physical blow without the requirement of adding extra momentum or mass. In combat this significantly improves the damage potential of a normally kinetically weak blow, like a punch.
Although the advantages are considerable, the Blast spell creates significant kinetic energy backlash at the item it is used on, whether a weapon or the mage itself. For this reason, application of this spell is most ideal on sturdy, blunt and dense objects with a large surface area on the impact point, like mallets, clubs and hammers, to better absorb and dissipate the backlash. Impact dissipation spells can also be applied to further reduce the backlash’s negative effects.
Sword –
The third of the basic spells, “Sword” is a “focus energy” spell, which enhances a cutting blade or piercing head by reinforcing the material integrity of the cutting area, and also by absorbing kinetic energy on impact and focusing it on the cutting edge. A blade enhanced by this spell can cut through extra-hard and reinforced objects with minimal effort, and this spell can be further enhanced by Force for improved results.
Out of the three Impulse spells listed above, Asagi specializes in the combined use of the Force and Sword Impulse spells, where she both in tandem to improve her physical power, speed and cutting edge. Her mastery of this combination is such that she had demonstrated the ability to cut through 50 inches of industrial-grade steel plate armor with a single stroke – with only a katana in her right hand.
-----
“Which translates to…
Ware ni tateni mono nashi…”
-----
Buster Shot –
Power: C
Range: B
Accuracy:B
Standard mana shooter spell, common amongst all Mid-childa style and Neo-Belkan style mages. Due to Asagi’s specialization in melee combat, her skill in the use of Buster Shot has dropped to minimal levels, thus she uses this primarily against non-magical opponents and C – B rank mages, and as a distraction attack in many cases.
While Asagi can fire Buster Shots barehanded, she always prefer to use it in conjunction with a pistol-like weapon, usually from her Survi-Buster.
Next part, Defensive & Auxilliary Spells and Finishing Moves :D
*phew* That was long :heh:
:eyespin:Dying...Dying...Dead :eyespin:
*Thank heavens for the Aegis of the Immortal*
There's a major difference in styles here: We have those who blatantly put their references across, while others subtly weave theirs into their characters, although that's a good thing, since it leaves us 2 options: die laughing out loud, or else start moving our heads a little to see the refs...
But it's pretty entertaining, as always...did I sense a hint of Masked Rider in there?
Referring to Episode 2, the firefighters use "guns" that fire wads of flame redardant foam instead of bringing in hoses. This Jammer Launcher appears to be similar in principle, so it should be alright.
On the other hand, the firefighters were firing foam rounds. Not glue...
Will haxbust and resume tomorrow. I've been out the whole day for Chinese New Year reunions with relatives and have just gotten back, and am heading out again in 10 minutes. *sighs* Sometimes I hate being chinese.
To all chinese in this thread: Gong Xi Fa Cai! Or if you're Cantonese, Kung Hey Fatt Choy!
Kung Hey Fatt Choy to you too! I'm both, as it just so happens :D Unfortunately, I don't speak much of it...what a bad Cantonese person I am.
Guess it's time I start my own division...
Designation: Division 66, NERV
Affiliation: TSAB Ground Forces
Founded: May MC 071
Commander: Colonel Kouzou Fuyutsuki
HQ Location: Cranagan, Mid-Childa
Equipment: 1x XI Class Warship Longinus, 2x JF-700 Helicopter
Function: Locate, secure, and neutralize rogue Lost Logia/Relics within Mid-Childa as well as high-threat Lost Logia/Relics on other worlds.
History: Division 66 was founded in May MC 071 shortly after the airport disaster. Although it had been proposed just a month prior, the proximity and scale of the Lost Logia/Relic airport incident made it clear to the TSAB council that an organization would be necessary to police local threats to avoid another disaster. The original proposal was drafted and backed by Lt. General Regius Gaiz and as such is under the direct control of the TSAB Ground Forces. This also limited the range of movement of the organization to Mid-Childa, although a clause was later added to allow their jurisdiction to reach to other worlds should there be a potential high-level threat.
The overall division is quite small due to its specialized objectives. They occupy a single 2-story structure just outside the main TSAB Ground Forces HQ with a pair of hangers for the helicopters and a single training structure in the rear. As of their founding, the main forward forces consist of 1st LT. Shamsel Nagisa and 2nd LT. Ryotaro Nogami. Some questioned the use of an experimental system for such an organization, but they were all quickly dismissed by Lt. Gen. Gaiz saying that it was a proven system he had investigated himself and worthy of such a roll.
Despite the intentions of the division, there were several rumors questioning its founding. One sprung from the fact that, after being initially set aside by the Council as not a priority, the airport disaster occurred and practically paved the way for its rushed approval. Second was on the backer, Lt. Gen. Gaiz. Rumors already existed of his dislike for the Navy as well as of the young Hayate Yagami. Many found it odd for him to propose such a group when word spread of Hayate contemplating a similar division of her own.
Ashcroft: I almost forgot about that general person, y'know?
Xena: As expected from you, since you're both a dolt and a bad punner.
Ashcroft: That ain't none of my fault, it's yours to start.
Xena: *thinks hard*...True.
Are they still around, or should I call in the "Where Are They Now?" crew? :D
Anyway, as promised, before the day is done, my first try at an OC...Sorry, Sheba, I'm stealing your format.
I finally decided to dump him with the Special Investigations Dept (with Acous) after doing my first sketch of him, because I realized some sharp-faced, lanky bishonen like him just belongs there, with his fellow sharp-faced, lanky bishonens.
This was also due to the fact that the Special Investigations Dept often get tossed around everywhere like ping-pong balls, so he will get to interact with many different CC and perhaps OC characters.
(I'm so sorry Acous, you've worked hard, but running around on many different people's orders is my idea of "getting tossed around"...)

TSAB relevant data
Affiliation: TSAB, Special Investigations Liaison Officer
Magic rank: B+
Magic style: Neo Belkan
Magic Color: Crystal Grey
Main Element: Illusion
Specialization: Undercover and Investigation Ops
Device: Armed device Enigma/Colossus, a pair of crystal mirrors that can be split into many smaller blades, each with a different hue.
Personality: To the untrained view, Ashcroft is quite the unassuming, silent, ignorant character, and he mostly prefers to appear so. In addition, his chronic memory failure also makes him something of a joke at times.
However, he can surprise on occasion with his own personal brand of smart talk, which is one of two things about him that is in any way notable, and only within the Special Investigations Department.
The second would be that despite being reputed to be a top-class Investigator, he's still stuck at rank B+, and worse, he does not seem to care very much, passing it off with "I'm not very powerful, I'm just smart, that's all. Anyway, if I have no chance of passing, then there's no point going to take an A level test."
This is disturbing to some of his superiors, as they mostly concur that it's not a matter of his lack of talent for his job that's stopping him.
History: Ashcroft, before becoming an Investigator, put his intelligence to use in the field of software and hardware engineering, and developed a couple of improvements to some respective TSAB parts.
Due to his extremely low-key style, his dealings with characters within the TSAB were never known very well, except that he did not mind hanging out with anyone who could either give him a nice intellectual chat over a coffee, and that he would never pass off a game of chess, at which he proved to be, according to his future superior, Acous "unpredictable".
For the same reasons, his reasons for the sudden change in career options from are not well known, but as he proven himself a fine Investigator, it has mostly been assumed that he has done so to avail himself of an opportunity to take on an intellectual challenge.
He is currently investigating the details behind Lost Logia trafficking, and in order to avoid suspicion, is putting his magic to great use in multi tasking between an average day in the TSAB and more perilous situations outside.
Also, he is almost absolutely merciless and clinical in battle, bringing down opponents with calculated accuracy and a combination of cold mind and hard muscle even when sparring.
General Fighting and Magic Style: As an Investigator, Ashcroft is a hot hand in both projectile as well as hand to hand combat, and is comfortable with not using his device when necessary. Notably enough, he uses a variant of Ninjutsu and good-ol' fashioned boxing in combat.
He uses illusion magic, or rather, he uses illusions on others via magic, and is also capable of using basic shooting spells on others.
His illusions, unlike most, are able to affect others who are not in his line of sight. However, if Ashcroft suffers a major shock, or the person(s) affected by the illusion suffer a shock to the mind greater than that which is created by Ashcroft's illusion, then the illusion will be dispelled.
Also, he cannot do too many things at once: any amount of magic he expends doing something else (such as defending or shooting) while keeping the illusion up reduces the amount of time he can do either of the two by very prohibitive amounts, and as with many male mages, his magic reserves are not that great, so he has to use his resources wisely, especially in situations where he would be likely to use both abilities simultaneously.
This form of magic can, and has resulted in certain hilarious if rather traumatic events.
Ashcroft's Armed Device: Enigma/Colossus is a Armed Device that can take the form of either a pair of crystal mirrors, or a large number of crystal blades.
It speaks a variant of Greek, because of an unfortunate pun that Ashcroft made, which led to a whim, and so on...
Barrier Jacket: To suit his more casual purposes, it takes the form of a casual blazer, tie, shirt and pants.
Views on Canon Characters/Things:
The Three Aces: Sun Tsu, thou should'st be living at this hour, we hath need of thee!
The Wolkenritter: Like pieces on a chessboard, except even more rigid.
Chrono: Boring. Too little hot blood.
Acous Verossa: I find him... *checks for spy cameras, and for any hidden dark green things* let's talk about this later shall we? :heh:
The Nakajima Sisters: *eyebrows up* Hot Blood Radar is ONLINE. *blip...blip...blip...* You two hath need of...(well, me! :D)
He didn't make the effort to know any other Canon Characters.
Design Notes:
Ashcroft's surname was taken from a scenario in Half-Life 2, which I was playing just a week or two before creating him. His name is actually another surname, except that I thought it would do okay as a name, too.
His Device is named after an opposing pair of actual, albeit now obsolete devices. Enigma was a German encryption device used in World War II, while Colossus was a decryption "supercomputer" used to crack and intercept Enigma.
I love illusions, and in the spirit of my love, actually learned some magic tricks based on visual illusions in the past. I'm not a big fan of the Uchiha clan, though.
That's one down. I got the Department name right, hopefully :heh:
I'll try to dig deep into my resources of weird mirror/crystal/(HAKU!!!!) related spell names and come up with something more detailed some time later, Chinese New Year Visitations take more of a toll on me than any kind of love I've ever had.

I love illusions, and in the spirit of my love, actually learned some magic tricks based on visual illusions in the past. I'm not a big fan of the Uchiha clan, though.
That's one down. I got the Department name right, hopefully :heh:
I'll try to dig deep into my resources of weird mirror/crystal/(HAKU!!!!) related spell names and come up with something more detailed some time later, Chinese New Year Visitations take more of a toll on me than any kind of love I've ever had.
*I blame it on all. those. goodbyes.*
Asides from format, he seems somewhat similar to Roland, almost too much methinks in their desire to stay low :heh: Thankfully, rest of his profile does set up his unique persona, including his illusion spells and... I think he's gonna get along with alot of HOTBLOODED characters here :nod:
And yes, "The Good Sheperd has to tend to his... flock. Especially when they have gone... unruly." :cool:

"Ware wa Zengar Zombolt, Aku wo tatsu tsurugi nari! Waga Zankantou ni tatenu mono nashi!"
Background: The self-styled Sword That Smites Evil (Aku wo tatsu tsurugi), Zengar Zombolt is a very honorable individual who fights for his own personal beliefs. Hardened by a long career as a soldier, Zengar has an amazing amount of wisdom on the battlefield and can sense the potential in allies and enemies alike. His demeanor and manners of speech are reminiscent of a samurai, and as such, Sanger is always accompanied by a sword - in particular, his Armed Sword Device Zankantou . Zengar also has a tendency to speak with yojijukugo -- four-kanji idioms. Examples of such phrases are ichiisenshin (一意専心, With all my heart and soul), ittou ryoudan (一刀両断, One blade that cuts in half), and jinba ittai (人馬一体, The rider and his horse are one), though Sanger uses an alternate version (刃馬一体, The blade and the horse are one）.
He frequently phrases, "I am Zengar Zombolt, the Sword That Smites Evil!" ("Ware wa Zengā Zonboruto, Aku wo tatsu tsurugi nari!")which he recites before he attacks with his Zankantou, and "There is nothing that can stand against my Zankantou!" ("Waga Zankantou ni tatenu mono nashi!") after he finishes the attack. He frequently accompanies his attacks with a loud "CHESTO!!!" kiai.
Zengar was formerly a member of the TSAB Air Force's Agressors, and was a sempai of Takamachi Nanoha, though he has disappeared from the TSAB's public eye in recent years. Rumors abound, however, that Zengar remains in the shadows, only to emerge to slay evil and fight for justice, and many believe that he is the only man who can stand against the Aces.
Most definately, he's the only person who has a chance in hell of blocking one of Asagi Caldwell's blade strikes, blade to blade.
To counter Lowe's Crack, I give this great crack! I shall place him into the OC! Who do you think he is? The awesome manliness that can beat Sentai! The Sword that cleaves evil!

So I come in to check out the general thread, and hwe have
Supe Lyrical Wars

Did my /m/ crossover with nanoha? If so, Then this is an even better homage/combination of universes than Turn A! So, before I post my idea for several one shots, CRACK BUSTA... BEAM!

I just died, went to heaven and found a Grungrst Mk 0. Awsome job... but will we get the Real Men ride each other?... Someone already posted Razel as a sound Knight, so get on that!

Sentai Fluff
This is sounding awsome, and I like. Will watch
Sheba
Spy Fluff
Your spy is a nice character. Seems like the small guy in the world of awsome power, and as they say. "This seems relevant to my interests."
Evangelion Xgouki
NERV
Hmm, conspiracy, in My Nanoha? Seriously though, this is going to be a darker counter to all the manly fluff around. I am going to enjoy how this all plays out.
Aaron008R
God Empress Hayate
Her spells seem nice, and to her nature, over powered. I hope these spells are like the Tzara bomb, and never have to be used.
USB500
KICCCK
This fluff made me raise a fist to the sky. The Belkans are the over the top, hotblooded attacks in Nanoha, and it fits. Well done, and 10/10

History Fluff I love history. This will be a good story, I can feel it in my veins. Are we going biblical here, or more Tale of Gilgmesh here?

Wait what is all this crack going around in here!? :uhoh: This place never makes any sense to me! QUICK I NEED A UPDATE HERE.
Basically Kagerou started a trend for turning everyone in Nanoha into Super Sentai.
Admiral Tigerclaw came in with hax and overpowered charecters and an insistence on a test unit having massive amounts of banned weaponry, TK tried to haxbust but somebody complained the haxbusting was offtopic...
To counter ATC's ridiculously overpowered mecha suit (which would allow a C-rank to become A-rank and then be able to fire off S-rank spells with no problems), Kagerou created Ghost Armor (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1364855&postcount=18962), which basically is more feminine Ghost armor from Starcraft but modded to fit the OFM, granting no advantages except stealth and a seperate power supply from the Mage (using a dedicated system), with the drawbacks of a HUGE IR signature so the user can be seen with night vision gear. (and also because we needed something more suited for wetwork as normal barrier jackets aren't practical for blackops.) As a joke, he also had Lance Flight, the first users of Ghost Armor, do a mass-henshin sequence... which resulted in a deluge of crack-Sentai (Belkaranger, Numbarenger, Strikenger, Lancenger, etc etc.)
Meanwhile, he's also writing MSLN Alpha, and posting scenes from Chapter 1, which can be found here (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1377617&postcount=19155), here (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1379758&postcount=19213)and here (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1381624&postcount=19259)., along with Vivio (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1379547&postcount=19207). He's also completed Bad Day for Bad Guys (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1371293&postcount=19080), which is part of a series of one-shots we're calling Prelude to Alpha.
As for me? I'm working on Prelude to Alpha, something called Rumination Sunset; Franz and one of his men discussing ethics and the TSAB and how they can sleep doing what they do.
And haxbusting. Still in progress.
And Kagerou and I are working on making a new OC fanon thread; the first version of which will cover what has come to be known as Kerokanon. It's going to be fairly in-depth so as to give a quick overview/summary of OC timelines to newcomers. While Kagerou works on the Kerokanon timeline, I'm working on the OFM timeline.

If I'm Hell Boy, I'd love to be about 6 feet tall, have shaved horns, a pair of really big revolvers and most of all, a God-fearing Catholic. :uhoh:
Hell Boy 2 is coming out this year! :D
HELLBOY(BADASS AWESOME) > ZENGAR
All clear, just one thing: Could I have Mel learn Fields of Hope earlier, like somewhere in time for the Battle of Cradle? Kha needs learn of FoH in order to solve the puzzle of the Reality Marbles and defeat epic!Jail at the end of StrikerS. Cos Kha can easily Trace the RM off of her instead of having to learn it from scratch.
Another method if the above is not possible is that Kha meets the person or finds the scripture detailing the existence of Fields of Hope. Which will take longer time to learn, and hence will have to appear even earlier in the series to be in time.
Which do you prefer? Just checking for artistic licence. :)
No, no, you can do it earlier - this is a StrikerS AU, right?
Just make sure she encounters HER HIGHNESS H***** S******* when she does.
:D:D:D:D:D
I don't think even THAT Hellboy's gonna be a match for Ai :uhoh:
You're joking, right?
Have you even READ Hellboy?
If death via nose bleeds did not work, kawaii overload wouldn't kill Tais. Then again, if it works, Renji (Yes, Reiji, I know I spelt your name wrongly but this time its on purpose :p) would be very happy I think. His signature would fit perfectly into this scenario :)
Speaker 1: Hey, Hey have you heard about it yet?
Speaker 2: About what?
Speaker 1: Corporal Tais Scien died.
Speaker 2: He died? How and who did he pissed off this time?
Speaker 1: The thing is, he didn't piss off anyone.
Speaker 2: You mean he died just like that? Without anyone 'helping' him along?
Speaker 1: Not exactly. They weren't trying to kill him, it was just a small prank.
Speaker 2: ...... You're saying, despite him managing to piss off a ton of powerful people by accident, he met his end, not under the hands of those he annoyed but because someone played a joke on him?!
Speaker 1: Since you put it that way, you could say that.
Speaker 2: ......
Speaker 1: ......
Speaker 2: So what exactly was the cause of death?
Speaker 1: Well, he had overdosed on enough MOE to kill a small water buffalo.
Speaker 2: 'Water Buffalo?'
Speaker 1: I got tired of saying small horse...Sorry about using your signature without asking Reiji :)
No problem, it's really funny and it comes from one of my favorite shows.

- One of the Chapels in Crenagan City managed by the Alexei Convent is "Church of Alexander Mark".
- Artei once worked as Arisa's poor-man's faced butler, especially during A's Destiny.
- Arisa's grandfather owns factories that build super-advanced robots, and some are just too advanced to be used on the 97th alone.
- And due to the transdimensional trade, Arisa, like Suzuka and as stated in canon, is super-rich.
- We all know how Nanoha, Arisa and Suzuka all love video games... Now just crank it up a bit.
- Arisa has a cousin who aspires to be a slapstick comedian.
- Arisa skipped 2 grades before.
- Suzuka has a nasty habit of getting herself lost within a microsecond.
- VERY DEBATABLE: Arisa has fond feelings for Artei, and so does Himawari.

[I]"Ware wa Zengar Zombolt, Aku wo tatsu tsurugi nari! Waga Zankantou ni tatenu mono nashi!"
Background: The self-styled Sword That Smites Evil (Aku wo tatsu tsurugi), Zengar Zombolt is a very honorable individual who fights for his own personal beliefs. Hardened by a long career as a soldier, Zengar has an amazing amount of wisdom on the battlefield and can sense the potential in allies and enemies alike. His demeanor and manners of speech are reminiscent of a samurai, and as such, Sanger is always accompanied by a sword - in particular, his Armed Sword Device Zankantou . Zengar also has a tendency to speak with yojijukugo -- four-kanji idioms. Examples of such phrases are ichiisenshin (一意専心, With all my heart and soul), ittou ryoudan (一刀両断, One blade that cuts in half), and jinba ittai (人馬一体, The rider and his horse are one), though Sanger uses an alternate version (刃馬一体, The blade and the horse are one）.
He frequently phrases, "I am Zengar Zombolt, the Sword That Smites Evil!" ("Ware wa Zengā Zonboruto, Aku wo tatsu tsurugi nari!")which he recites before he attacks with his Zankantou, and "There is nothing that can stand against my Zankantou!" ("Waga Zankantou ni tatenu mono nashi!") after he finishes the attack. He frequently accompanies his attacks with a loud "CHESTO!!!" kiai.
Zengar was formerly a member of the TSAB Air Force's Agressors, and was a sempai of Takamachi Nanoha, though he has disappeared from the TSAB's public eye in recent years. Rumors abound, however, that Zengar remains in the shadows, only to emerge to slay evil and fight for justice, and many believe that he is the only man who can stand against the Aces.
Most definately, he's the only person who has a chance in hell of blocking one of Asagi Caldwell's blade strikes, blade to blade.
To counter Lowe's Crack, I give this great crack! I shall place him into the OC! Who do you think he is? The awesome manliness that can beat Sentai! The Sword that cleaves evil!
...not again...
Anyways...
So, the reason I've been gone for most of the week is due to a life crisis.
Not sure, but I think some of you know I'm a science major and work in a research lab.
Well, that's changed recently.
Apparently, labs at my school are only allowed a certain amount of personnel...which my former exceeded recently.
Result: they had to drop some people - on the order of 1 person.
And since they couldn't do that to any of the graduate students (Heaven Forbid!), it needed to be an undergrad.
Which turned out to be me because, in the words of the head cheese:
"You've been here the least amount of time, and you're leaving in a month or two. And besides, there's been no progress on your current project since December."
Never mind that I put in triple the amount of time my undergrad compatriots do.
Never mind that I'm a senior, who has learned & understands the concepts we're using, whereas all but one of my compatriots are just FRESHMEN.
Never mind that we've had TWO new transfer grad students who the head cheese COULD have sent elsewhere.
Never mind that the reason for lack of progress was faulty equipment, which is the better part of a decade old.
Never mind that I may be COMING BACK to this school when I'm a grad student.
And NEVER MIND that I'm the ONLY undergrad, and one of the three people (out of a dozen or so) that comes to work on the WEEKEND - which ANYONE with a passion for research SHOULD be doing.
No, screw that! Screw every reason to keep me!
I tried to convince the head chesse to keep me. I begged; I pleaded; I told him I'd double the hours I'm putting in NOW. I told him that if I was accepted at this grad school, I'd come and work in his lab. I told him that I had volunteered to give a presentation on the research I was doing for his lab for one of my classes.
Nothing. Nada. Zero.
Apparently, the only thing that matters is how much they can squeeze out of me.
And the truth is, this couldn't have come at a worse possible time.
Around here, February is the month that students apply to graduate schools. And a major part of that is having a letter of recommendation from a research professor in your major (non-research is okay, but less desirable). NOW, since I'm no longer officially part of the lab, the head cheese is under no obligations to write me one (and now, frankly, I'm not so sure I WANT one from him anyway). So, I've got to find a new lab - one that'll take someone about 2 months away from graduation, get in, and get a letter...
IN ABOUT 3 WEEKS.
Yeah, I'm probably screwed, no thanks to General Cheesehead.
And if you want to know what he looks like:
TRY THIS.
http://blog.seiha.org/images/strikers15/strikers15%20(41).jpg
Oh yes, I'M PISSED.
ROYALLY!
Yay! Welcome back Erio!! :D
And what the crap? :twitch: Are they that desperate for copper to re-sell?
Thanks. :D
lol You got that right. :heh: Hopefully that wont happen again when I get back to that town.
And Kagerou and I are working on making a new OC fanon thread; the first version of which will cover what has come to be known as Kerokanon. It's going to be fairly in-depth so as to give a quick overview/summary of OC timelines to newcomers. While Kagerou works on the Kerokanon timeline, I'm working on the OFM timeline.
So the OFM is set in its own timeline? Hmm, and I was planning to mention it in my OC's profile...
My OC's were created for the canon timeline where Keroko exists (also known as Kerokanon)... does the OFM exist in that timeline? If it does, is it different from what you have now?

Time to toss out a rough idea of Aegina von Bronquia here... Even though none of you can help me here at all since none of you know anything about Varista. :heh: I just feel like it and it helps to type out my ideas sometimes so I can keep them... :nod:
Name: Aegina von Bronquia (Aegina of the Family Bronquia)
Sex: Female
Race: Varistan
Age: ? (Haven't decided)
Rank: ? (Also undecided...)
Hair Color: Blood red
Eye color: Green/Gold
Skin color: White
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 118 lb (Random number)
Notes:
o Thinking of having her carry around a either laser-based sword or a chainsword... Why? Because its appealing to imagine her slaughtering TSAB soldiers and coating herself in their various gore.
o Yes. She's very bloodthirsty. Thinking of giving her a fang or two.
o Also a bit of a nymphomaniac. A very rough kind of girl. :uhoh:
o Feared a bit by her own soldiers and being transfered to her division is not a really good thing... the casualty rate is high as Aegina gives no care to how many soldiers she loses as long as she wins in the end.
o Is quite obsessed with the Fate Testarossa prisoner but isn't allowed to touch her due to standing orders from the Emperor.
o Visited Mid-Childan when the two forces were at peace.
Now how many people will actually notice this amongst the backlog is beyond me... :uhoh:
EDIT:
Minor fix. Used the wrong term.
And as a gift "von" in Varistan means "of the Family".
Actually, my OC Shamsel using a Device very similar to a Glaive called a Naginta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naginta).
...oh I am so gonna love it when Naomi and Shamsel meet.
Both: "...WE USE THE SAME DEVICES."
Shamsel: *thinking* Hey, she's kinda cute though.
Naomi: *thinking* Where's my brother?
Guess it's time I start my own division...
Designation: Division 66, NERV
Affiliation: TSAB Ground Forces
Founded: May MC 071
Commander: Colonel Kouzou Fuyutsuki
HQ Location: Cranagan, Mid-Childa
Equipment: 1x XI Class Warship Longinus, 2x JF-700 Helicopter
Function: Locate, secure, and neutralize rogue Lost Logia/Relics within Mid-Childa as well as high-threat Lost Logia/Relics on other worlds.
History: Division 66 was founded in May MC 071 shortly after the airport disaster. Although it had been proposed just a month prior, the proximity and scale of the Lost Logia/Relic airport incident made it clear to the TSAB council that an organization would be necessary to police local threats to avoid another disaster. The original proposal was drafted and backed by Lt. General Regius Gaiz and as such is under the direct control of the TSAB Ground Forces. This also limited the range of movement of the organization to Mid-Childa, although a clause was later added to allow their jurisdiction to reach to other worlds should there be a potential high-level threat.
The overall division is quite small due to its specialized objectives. They occupy a single 2-story structure just outside the main TSAB Ground Forces HQ with a pair of hangers for the helicopters and a single training structure in the rear. As of their founding, the main forward forces consist of 1st LT. Shamsel Nagisa and 2nd LT. Ryotaro Nogami. Some questioned the use of an experimental system for such an organization, but they were all quickly dismissed by Lt. Gen. Gaiz saying that it was a proven system he had investigated himself and worthy of such a roll.
Despite the intentions of the division, there were several rumors questioning its founding. One sprung from the fact that, after being initially set aside by the Council as not a priority, the airport disaster occurred and practically paved the way for its rushed approval. Second was on the backer, Lt. Gen. Gaiz. Rumors already existed of his dislike for the Navy as well as of the young Hayate Yagami. Many found it odd for him to propose such a group when word spread of Hayate contemplating a similar division of her own.
I will be using this for the second half of Alpha. Just to warn you.
Oh just forget about my role in the whole thing why don't you :p Although admittedly by contribution to the end result was smaller than Tk's..
:3 I'm sorry Lii-kun. I knew you contributed, and for that I appreciate by the buckets-worth.
*Plays On The Road (http://www.esnips.com/doc/681041b2-4328-4d35-9a64-0eea2b644be8/2006---GouGou-Sentai-Boukenger---ON-THE-ROAD)*
Now, for the 3rd Update to Atsuki Boukenshaa's Profile, here's Barrier Jacket, Fighting Style, Devices and Offensive Spells:
-------------
Barrier Jacket:
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa299/spec_operations/Belkared.jpg
[13 year old Asagi wearing the Belkaranger Barrier Jacket without visor]
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa299/spec_operations/AsagiColwellBJ.jpg
[23 year old Asagi with Barrier Jacket undersuit]
While heavily inspired by Super Sentai, Asagi had decided that as Belkarangers they’ll try to do something original for once, and they chose their barrier jackets to do so.
Asagi’s barrier jacket resembles a modified school sailor uniform (aka serafuku) with a large white band running down the front of the blouse down to the skirt – a tribute to the Boukenger suit. Accompanying forearm length falconry gloves, and ironically named go-go boots complete the Belkaranger suits.
Unlike most Super Sentai, the Belkarangers don’t wear full helmets, instead choosing to wear wraparound black headphone visors to cover their eyes. The visors also have forehead mounted searchlights for low-light illumination.
While most mages nowadays prefer their barrier jacket transformations quick and easy, Asagi and the Belkarangers like to take their long and flashy, with Super Sentai inspired fancy poses and roll calls complete with sound effects and BGM courtesy of their devices. In Asagi’s case, her routine is taken from Boukenger’s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aose0J5a5Fo), with the call of “Belkaranger, Start Up!” to initiate, and until the arrival of the Accelulars used ANY and ALL flip-top cellphones for props.
Whenever her whim takes her, or when lacking the appropriate prop, Asagi uses other Sentai routines, like the Dekaranger (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRtSgFqFW_s)or Timeranger (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nqcb87Fr36U) routine, using her wallet and her watch respectively for props (and the appropriate removal of clothes for Timeranger revealing her undersuit before transformation).
-----
"*cough*"
-----
For the rest of the Belkarangers, the roll call sequence follows from the first of the trio to perform the henshin sequence. As Asagi is always the first to initiate the Boukenger sequence is the most performed, although different sequences have been performed whenever Julie or Mayura initiate.
-----
"I think I need my own routine..."
-----
Skills and Abilities:
Asagi Colwell is officially a AA+-rank ground combat Knight, despite her magical rank being only C+. This is due to her incredible skill with her sword fighting technique, borne out of years of constant practice under various sword arts, with her base style being the Japanese competitive style of Kendo… and various Super Sentai moves and finishers.
For most of the time, Asagi’s attacks with her sword appear to be very blunt, direct and brash, charging in recklessly at the enemy with a flurry of swipes and slashes propelled by unbridled energy and much gusto (complete with sparks, fireworks and much lovely HISSATSU for that Super Sentai effect).
-----
“I myself would’ve preferred “Itou Ryoudan”…”
-----
Against serious and skilled opponents though, Asagi’s style and demeanor takes a drastic reversal: she becomes an unnervingly calm, silent and calculating fighter, efficient and deliberate in her attacks with precision slashes and impeccably timed feints and lunges. Her preferred tactic is to conserve her strength and magical energy and evade/defend against enemy attack, preparing her stance while controlling the fight to lead the enemy into the creation of an opening or opportunity, on which she’ll exploit by with an EXPLODING CHOU HISSATSU-
-----
"*ehem*"
“Wakata wakata…”
-----
- with one of her powerful one-hit finisher techniques.
While incredibly deadly in close combat, Asagi’s lack of any decent ranged attacks asides from her Buster Shots means she has to rely on other mages, and a combination of her speed and defensive abilities to cover her approach when fighting ranged opponents.
Devices:
As a Knight relying more on her physical prowess than magic, Asagi has mastery over a lot of non-magical weapons, most often swords and staves. This non-reliance on magical devices gives her incredible versatility in her choice of armament, although for maximum effectiveness Asagi uses an array of simple non-intelligent storage and Armed devices.
Survi-Buster (Asagi) –
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa299/spec_operations/bou-ar-survibuster.jpg
Asagi’s most trusted primary weapon. Created by request after her graduation by engineer Aurion Dauer, the Survi-Busters are pistol-like non-intelligent storage devices, inspired from the primary weapons of her favorite Super Sentai group, the Boukenger.
Like its inspiration in the show, the Survi-Buster is a multi-mode weapon with two primary forms: Gun Mode, which is used to cast ranged Buster shots, and the melee use Survi-Blade Mode, where its handle swings back 40 degrees and extends a long double edged blade thus forming a longsword.
Each of the three Belkarangers have their own Survi-Busters, and each is specialized for their respective use. In Asagi’s case, her Survi-Buster is the only one equipped with a cartridge system loaded from an 8-round pistol magazine on the handgrip, and her weapon is defaulted in Blade Form to better accommodate her combat style.
Bouken Bo / Bouken Javelin –
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa299/spec_operations/Bouken-Bo.jpg
Another Boukenger-inspired device created by Aurion, the Bouken Bo is a long shaft device with pincers on its end, used to grab hard to reach objects. In combat the Bouken Bo can open its jaws and extend a double-edged blade to become the Bouken Javelin, which gives her extended reach and power in close combat. Unlike with the original weapon, Asagi can use the “Extension” spell on the Bouken Bo/Javelin, which lengthens its shaft to a maximum of 20 meters giving her unparalleled reach. Like the Survi-Busters, the Bouken Bo is a simple non-vocal non-intelligent storage device, and reduces itself to a standard device card when stored.
Amaterasu –
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa299/spec_operations/Amaterasu.jpg
The only non-Boukenger inspired weapon in Asagi’s arsenal, Amaterasu is an intelligent longsword-shaped Armed-Device that was a family treasure for more than a hundred years, kept as a display piece due to the lack of active mages in the Colwell clan. As the first Colwell mage in nearly two centuries, Amaterasu was thus entrusted to Asagi’s use after her graduation from the TSAB Academy.
As an intelligent Armed Device Amaterasu can be considered Asagi’s primary magical device, as she performs many of her magical abilities through it, from her Barrier Jacket summoning to activating defensive and offensive abilities. Also, both the Survi-Buster and Bouken Bo have been integrated into Amaterasu’s storage form, allowing Asagi to carry all three weapons in a single device, and she can summon any one of her devices separately from it.
In terms of power, Amaterasu has the highest magical processing and storage capacity of Asagi’s three devices despite its lack of a cartridge system, making it the ideal choice for casting high-level magic spells and attacks reaching up to S+. However this ability comes at the cost of increased mana consumption when Amaterasu is unlocked into weapon form. As Asagi is only ranked B in magical power she rarely uses Amaterasu as a weapon, preferring to use it primarily as a mana spell conduit, unless dire circumstances force her to use its power.
On the flip side, Asagi calls the weapon the “Golden Sword” after its bright golden blade – a coincidental similarity to BoukenRed’s weapon in Boukenger. Similarly, she calls the sword’s male AI “Zubaan”.
In storage form, Amaterasu takes the form of a small coin with an ornate sun pattern engraved on its surface hung on a silver chain necklace.
Auxilliary Devices:
Accelular –
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa299/spec_operations/bou-ar-accellular.jpg
Straight out of Boukenger is the Belkarangers all-in-one multipurpose device, the Accelular. This signature cell-phone like device performs almost every function its original can in the show, including cellular phone communication, compass navigation and ultraviolet blacklight. It also has various scanners and sensors that give it incredible detection abilities, ranging from infrared detection to magic scanning.
(The only thing the Belkaranger’s Accelular can’t do is summon GouGou Vehicles…)
While similar in many respects to the original, several changes and improvements have been made to the design, like the replacement of the main LCD display with a 3-D holographic screen and projector, and tougher materials and construction, allowing it to withstand the harsh rigors of field use. Also, the Belkaranger’s intelligent device AI’s can interface with each other through the Accelular’s computer. And like in the show, the GoGo Turbine is used in the mandatory transformation posing sequences (even though their base intelligent devices perform the actual transformation).
For all its usefulness, the Accelulars are a surprisingly recent addition to the Belkaranger’s arsenal, that they only received in late MC0075. The original request for its creation was put forward by Asagi almost five years ago, when she was finally old enough to be given command of the Colwell company finances and facilities. A series of technical problems associated with the creation of such a non-magical multipurpose device delayed the production of the devices, not to mention the questions regarding the merits and benefits of expending large amounts of financial and technical resources into some saw as a mere toy. Fortunately Asagi’s persistence and logistical maneuvering paid off (by mass-marketing a stripped-down version of the Accelulars into the cellular phone market to cover the costs), and the Accelulars now see extensive use by the Belkarangers in the missions.

“Rey, a little help in this section?”
“Of course.”
-----
Offensive Spell List:
As an alumni of Class 0061-Q, Asagi’s primary spells are the so called “Impulse” spells, which are the most basic of Close Combat oriented spells taught to Neo-Belkan students. There are three spells overall, including:
Force -
In martial combat, one requires physical strength and power to deliver the energy required for impact. The most basic spell for many Neo-Belkan practitioners, and also the easiest to learn, is the “Force” spell, which is a basic spell to externally enhance the wielder’s physical strength. This is achieved using a combination of external levitation (and in some cases, Midchilda-style Barrel Rings), which provide additional aid and support on a mage’s arms or legs. This grants a mage extra physical power in lifting heavy weapons, or further enhancing the power behind a strike.
Blast –
Another basic Neo-Belkan spell, “Blast” is a “static kinetic energy” spell applied at a weapon’s impact point, which multiplies the kinetic energy behind a physical blow without the requirement of adding extra momentum or mass. In combat this significantly improves the damage potential of a normally kinetically weak blow, like a punch.
Although the advantages are considerable, the Blast spell creates significant kinetic energy backlash at the item it is used on, whether a weapon or the mage itself. For this reason, application of this spell is most ideal on sturdy, blunt and dense objects with a large surface area on the impact point, like mallets, clubs and hammers, to better absorb and dissipate the backlash. Impact dissipation spells can also be applied to further reduce the backlash’s negative effects.
Sword –
The third of the basic spells, “Sword” is a “focus energy” spell, which enhances a cutting blade or piercing head by reinforcing the material integrity of the cutting area, and also by absorbing kinetic energy on impact and focusing it on the cutting edge. A blade enhanced by this spell can cut through extra-hard and reinforced objects with minimal effort, and this spell can be further enhanced by Force for improved results.
Out of the three Impulse spells listed above, Asagi specializes in the combined use of the Force and Sword Impulse spells, where she both in tandem to improve her physical power, speed and cutting edge. Her mastery of this combination is such that she had demonstrated the ability to cut through 50 inches of industrial-grade steel plate armor with a single stroke – with only a katana in her right hand.
-----
“Which translates to…
Ware ni tateni mono nashi…”
-----
Buster Shot –
Power: C
Range: B
Accuracy:B
Standard mana shooter spell, common amongst all Mid-childa style and Neo-Belkan style mages. Due to Asagi’s specialization in melee combat, her skill in the use of Buster Shot has dropped to minimal levels, thus she uses this primarily against non-magical opponents and C – B rank mages, and as a distraction attack in many cases.
While Asagi can fire Buster Shots barehanded, she always prefer to use it in conjunction with a pistol-like weapon, usually from her Survi-Buster.
Next part, Defensive & Auxilliary Spells and Finishing Moves :D
*phew* That was long :heh:
XDDD Oh god, yes. The Belkarangers might also be showing up for the second half of Alpha.
@Thread: Yes, it's possible to do this, as for the second half of Alpha, the TSAB pulls in nearly every capable mage they have on hand, no matter their eccentricities. OFM, Aces, Wolkenritter, Belkaranger, Hotblood, Kamen Riders, whatever they have. This probably results in the kind of fight where you know they're in there, somewhere, but you don't know what they're doing.
:
I finally decided to dump him with the Special Investigations Dept (with Acous) after doing my first sketch of him, because I realized some sharp-faced, lanky bishonen like him just belongs there, with his fellow sharp-faced, lanky bishonens.
This was also due to the fact that the Special Investigations Dept often get tossed around everywhere like ping-pong balls, so he will get to interact with many different CC and perhaps OC characters.
(I'm so sorry Acous, you've worked hard, but running around on many different people's orders is my idea of "getting tossed around"...)

TSAB relevant data
Affiliation: TSAB, Special Investigations Liaison Officer
Magic rank: B+
Magic style: Neo Belkan
Magic Color: Crystal Grey
Main Element: Illusion
Specialization: Undercover and Investigation Ops
Device: Armed device Enigma/Colossus, a pair of crystal mirrors that can be split into many smaller blades, each with a different hue.
Personality: To the untrained view, Ashcroft is quite the unassuming, silent, ignorant character, and he mostly prefers to appear so. In addition, his chronic memory failure also makes him something of a joke at times.
However, he can surprise on occasion with his own personal brand of smart talk, which is one of two things about him that is in any way notable, and only within the Special Investigations Department.
The second would be that despite being reputed to be a top-class Investigator, he's still stuck at rank B+, and worse, he does not seem to care very much, passing it off with "I'm not very powerful, I'm just smart, that's all. Anyway, if I have no chance of passing, then there's no point going to take an A level test."
This is disturbing to some of his superiors, as they mostly concur that it's not a matter of his lack of talent for his job that's stopping him.
History: Ashcroft, before becoming an Investigator, put his intelligence to use in the field of software and hardware engineering, and developed a couple of improvements to some respective TSAB parts.
Due to his extremely low-key style, his dealings with characters within the TSAB were never known very well, except that he did not mind hanging out with anyone who could either give him a nice intellectual chat over a coffee, and that he would never pass off a game of chess, at which he proved to be, according to his future superior, Acous "unpredictable".
For the same reasons, his reasons for the sudden change in career options from are not well known, but as he proven himself a fine Investigator, it has mostly been assumed that he has done so to avail himself of an opportunity to take on an intellectual challenge.
He is currently investigating the details behind Lost Logia trafficking, and in order to avoid suspicion, is putting his magic to great use in multi tasking between an average day in the TSAB and more perilous situations outside.
Also, he is almost absolutely merciless and clinical in battle, bringing down opponents with calculated accuracy and a combination of cold mind and hard muscle even when sparring.
General Fighting and Magic Style: As an Investigator, Ashcroft is a hot hand in both projectile as well as hand to hand combat, and is comfortable with not using his device when necessary. Notably enough, he uses a variant of Ninjutsu and good-ol' fashioned boxing in combat.
He uses illusion magic, or rather, he uses illusions on others via magic, and is also capable of using basic shooting spells on others.
His illusions, unlike most, are able to affect others who are not in his line of sight. However, if Ashcroft suffers a major shock, or the person(s) affected by the illusion suffer a shock to the mind greater than that which is created by Ashcroft's illusion, then the illusion will be dispelled.
Also, he cannot do too many things at once: any amount of magic he expends doing something else (such as defending or shooting) while keeping the illusion up reduces the amount of time he can do either of the two by very prohibitive amounts, and as with many male mages, his magic reserves are not that great, so he has to use his resources wisely, especially in situations where he would be likely to use both abilities simultaneously.
This form of magic can, and has resulted in certain hilarious if rather traumatic events.
Ashcroft's Armed Device: Enigma/Colossus is a Armed Device that can take the form of either a pair of crystal mirrors, or a large number of crystal blades.
It speaks a variant of Greek, because of an unfortunate pun that Ashcroft made, which led to a whim, and so on...
Barrier Jacket: To suit his more casual purposes, it takes the form of a casual blazer, tie, shirt and pants.
Views on Canon Characters/Things:
The Three Aces: Sun Tsu, thou should'st be living at this hour, we hath need of thee!
The Wolkenritter: Like pieces on a chessboard, except even more rigid.
Chrono: Boring. Too little hot blood.
Acous Verossa: I find him... *checks for spy cameras, and for any hidden dark green things* let's talk about this later shall we? :heh:
The Nakajima Sisters: *eyebrows up* Hot Blood Radar is ONLINE. *blip...blip...blip...* You two hath need of...(well, me! :D)
He didn't make the effort to know any other Canon Characters.
Design Notes:
Ashcroft's surname was taken from a scenario in Half-Life 2, which I was playing just a week or two before creating him. His name is actually another surname, except that I thought it would do okay as a name, too.
His Device is named after an opposing pair of actual, albeit now obsolete devices. Enigma was a German encryption device used in World War II, while Colossus was a decryption "supercomputer" used to crack and intercept Enigma.
I love illusions, and in the spirit of my love, actually learned some magic tricks based on visual illusions in the past. I'm not a big fan of the Uchiha clan, though.
That's one down. I got the Department name right, hopefully :heh:
I'll try to dig deep into my resources of weird mirror/crystal/(HAKU!!!!) related spell names and come up with something more detailed some time later, Chinese New Year Visitations take more of a toll on me than any kind of love I've ever had.
*I blame it on all. those. goodbyes.*
I like this character XD.

"Ware wa Zengar Zombolt, Aku wo tatsu tsurugi nari! Waga Zankantou ni tatenu mono nashi!"
Background: The self-styled Sword That Smites Evil (Aku wo tatsu tsurugi), Zengar Zombolt is a very honorable individual who fights for his own personal beliefs. Hardened by a long career as a soldier, Zengar has an amazing amount of wisdom on the battlefield and can sense the potential in allies and enemies alike. His demeanor and manners of speech are reminiscent of a samurai, and as such, Sanger is always accompanied by a sword - in particular, his Armed Sword Device Zankantou . Zengar also has a tendency to speak with yojijukugo -- four-kanji idioms. Examples of such phrases are ichiisenshin (一意専心, With all my heart and soul), ittou ryoudan (一刀両断, One blade that cuts in half), and jinba ittai (人馬一体, The rider and his horse are one), though Sanger uses an alternate version (刃馬一体, The blade and the horse are one）.
He frequently phrases, "I am Zengar Zombolt, the Sword That Smites Evil!" ("Ware wa Zengā Zonboruto, Aku wo tatsu tsurugi nari!")which he recites before he attacks with his Zankantou, and "There is nothing that can stand against my Zankantou!" ("Waga Zankantou ni tatenu mono nashi!") after he finishes the attack. He frequently accompanies his attacks with a loud "CHESTO!!!" kiai.
Zengar was formerly a member of the TSAB Air Force's Agressors, and was a sempai of Takamachi Nanoha, though he has disappeared from the TSAB's public eye in recent years. Rumors abound, however, that Zengar remains in the shadows, only to emerge to slay evil and fight for justice, and many believe that he is the only man who can stand against the Aces.
Most definately, he's the only person who has a chance in hell of blocking one of Asagi Caldwell's blade strikes, blade to blade.
To counter Lowe's Crack, I give this great crack! I shall place him into the OC! Who do you think he is? The awesome manliness that can beat Sentai! The Sword that cleaves evil!
*facepalm* Here we go again.
Basically Kagerou started a trend for turning everyone in Nanoha into Super Sentai.
I didn't mean to. But I'm not complaining.
Admiral Tigerclaw came in with hax and overpowered charecters and an insistence on a test unit having massive amounts of banned weaponry, TK tried to haxbust but somebody complained the haxbusting was offtopic...
And you must take his place.
To counter ATC's ridiculously overpowered mecha suit (which would allow a C-rank to become A-rank and then be able to fire off S-rank spells with no problems), Kagerou created Ghost Armor (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1364855&postcount=18962), which basically is more feminine Ghost armor from Starcraft but modded to fit the OFM, granting no advantages except stealth and a seperate power supply from the Mage (using a dedicated system), with the drawbacks of a HUGE IR signature so the user can be seen with night vision gear. (and also because we needed something more suited for wetwork as normal barrier jackets aren't practical for blackops.) As a joke, he also had Lance Flight, the first users of Ghost Armor, do a mass-henshin sequence... which resulted in a deluge of crack-Sentai (Belkaranger, Numbarenger, Strikenger, Lancenger, etc etc.)
Who said Lancenger was a joke? :eyebrow:
Meanwhile, he's also writing MSLN Alpha, and posting scenes from Chapter 1, which can be found here (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1377617&postcount=19155), here (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1379758&postcount=19213)and here (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1381624&postcount=19259)., along with Vivio (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1379547&postcount=19207). He's also completed Bad Day for Bad Guys (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1371293&postcount=19080), which is part of a series of one-shots we're calling Prelude to Alpha.
As for me? I'm working on Prelude to Alpha, something called Rumination Sunset; Franz and one of his men discussing ethics and the TSAB and how they can sleep doing what they do.
Speaking of which, Scene 4 approaches.... *looks off into distant sunset*
And Kagerou and I are working on making a new OC fanon thread; the first version of which will cover what has come to be known as Kerokanon. It's going to be fairly in-depth so as to give a quick overview/summary of OC timelines to newcomers. While Kagerou works on the Kerokanon timeline, I'm working on the OFM timeline.
Slow, hard work -_-
So, the reason I've been gone for most of the week is due to a life crisis.
Not sure, but I think some of you know I'm a science major and work in a research lab.
Well, that's changed recently.
Apparently, labs at my school are only allowed a certain amount of personnel...which my former exceeded recently.
Result: they had to drop some people - on the order of 1 person.
And since they couldn't do that to any of the graduate students (Heaven Forbid!), it needed to be an undergrad.
Which turned out to be me because, in the words of the head cheese:
"You've been here the least amount of time, and you're leaving in a month or two. And besides, there's been no progress on your current project since December."
Never mind that I put in triple the amount of time my undergrad compatriots do.
Never mind that I'm a senior, who has learned & understands the concepts we're using, whereas all but one of my compatriots are just FRESHMEN.
Never mind that we've had TWO new transfer grad students who the head cheese COULD have sent elsewhere.
Never mind that the reason for lack of progress was faulty equipment, which is the better part of a decade old.
Never mind that I may be COMING BACK to this school when I'm a grad student.
And NEVER MIND that I'm the ONLY undergrad, and one of the three people (out of a dozen or so) that comes to work on the WEEKEND - which ANYONE with a passion for research SHOULD be doing.
No, screw that! Screw every reason to keep me!
I tried to convince the head chesse to keep me. I begged; I pleaded; I told him I'd double the hours I'm putting in NOW. I told him that if I was accepted at this grad school, I'd come and work in his lab. I told him that I had volunteered to give a presentation on the research I was doing for his lab for one of my classes.
Nothing. Nada. Zero.
Apparently, the only thing that matters is how much they can squeeze out of me.
And the truth is, this couldn't have come at a worse possible time.
Around here, February is the month that students apply to graduate schools. And a major part of that is having a letter of recommendation from a research professor in your major (non-research is okay, but less desirable). NOW, since I'm no longer officially part of the lab, the head cheese is under no obligations to write me one (and now, frankly, I'm not so sure I WANT one from him anyway). So, I've got to find a new lab - one that'll take someone about 2 months away from graduation, get in, and get a letter...
IN ABOUT 3 WEEKS.
Yeah, I'm probably screwed, no thanks to General Cheesehead.
And if you want to know what he looks like:

ROYALLY!
Ouch, sorry to here that, Reiji.
So the OFM is set in its own timeline? Hmm, and I was planning to mention it in my OC's profile...
My OC's were created for the canon timeline where Keroko exists (also known as Kerokanon)... does the OFM exist in that timeline? If it does, is it different from what you have now?
Oh, no, by timeline, he means working on an actual physical timeline of events XD. I'm sorta working on the official "Kerokanon" timeline, and may post one, one day -_-.

A little something to devour.
The following is a set of composite sound effects I made when working on my sound file. I have them listed. This is not every single sound I used (Something like... forty effects +), just ones that were composite effects.

You might find them useful for... something.
The next is a list of the most complicated sound effects scenes played without the ambience of the background, the music, or voices.

Remembered what I was gonna mention.
@Thread: Many characters are going to get hurt in Alpha, and there are some characters that will die... that is, when I decide who (I already have a few listed). If your OC is in a nearly life-ending situation and they get hurt severely to the point where everyone else thinks they died, I will PM and ask for permission. I know a lot of people won't fly with this, so this is why I'm asking
And it's not that hard to substitute a grunt for an OC, but what has more impact? Random Grunt 91273 getting devoured, or, say, Keroko fighting off swarms of enemies before she finally succumbs to fatigue and falls under the Swarm? (Not gonna happen, btw, as I have plans for Keroko... delicious plans XDD).

All right, I seem to have landed myself in one of those realms that no one has ever treaded before, and it's proving to be a major canon breaker to me. Anyway, although this should be placed somewhere in the Magic and Technology thread, I thought I'd start a little here before proceeding there because ... uhm, technically speaking, it isn't so much about technology or that stuff than something more ... uh, esoteric.
Here's the case (those following on the previous discussion on energy-Mana should be familiar with this premise):
We all know that mages have Linker Cores, organs that store magical energy (Mana) in their body. When a spell is cast, the mage consumes Mana in their body to feed the spell. Since Mana is part of the body's energy reserves, using up a lot of it in powerful spellcasting affects the mage's physiological health (strain). Some spells, like Starlight Breaker, utilizes the mage's own Mana to collect free Mana from the atmosphere to charge the spell. Mana Conversion Affinity simply converts the mage's own reserves into physical energy. That's the gist of it.
Now, what I'm proposing is that since mages typically use up their own Mana reserves, there are some observable signs that relate to an individual mage. The first would be the color of their aura (i.e. spell sigil). This color is unique for a particular mage, but it isn't a strong indication since closely-related colors can be subject to a person's perception.
A second sign (which is, admittedly, probably the most difficult to understand) is the mage's disposition when casting the particular spell. That is, the intention of the mage him or herself. The intention does not alter how a particular spell would end up as (i.e. a healing spell will generally heal and not destroy), but it changes what the spell feels like.
Again, healing spells heal, but depending on the mage, the feeling can be different (i.e. Shamal's healing spell is gentle, warm, and relaxing; another mage's healing spell gives an entirely different feeling that is distinguishable, but generally unnoticed). The same goes for offensive spells (i.e. Nanoha's attacks almost always feel powerful, strong, and intensely passionate; Fate's probably determined, wild, and bursting with energy like lightning). If their intention changes, so does the 'feeling' (although, I must stress again that it would not cause a damaging spell to not damage at all).
The purpose of the distinction, in any case, need not relate directly to canon. I mean, I understand that it sounds rather far-fetched (ridiculous even :heh:), so this is rather a plot device to enhance the storyline. I made this up just to differentiate between Mana and Elements (Templars' version of magic fuel). The latter draws powers from the lands, so the feeling is more elemental than intentional (i.e. Sharazad's wave attack 'feels' like 'an entire ocean raging against her', or something like that).
Well, that's just it. I mention it in advance so as to see whether it's "conceivable" or not. If it is, it's good for me :D. If it isn't, I have a retcon ready.
P/S: Won't be around for a reply until Monday.

....this... may have potential. Shamsel pursuing Naomi...Although he'll have to vy with Alan Aiken, one of TK's OCs, who's carrying a torch for Naomi and pursuing her. He's fighting a loosing battle; while he pursues Naomi, Naomi is oblivious to him as she pursues Franz, who is oblivious to her intentions and pursues his neverending goal of eliminating paperwork.... as of around StrikerS, that is. Post-Strikers/Before Alpha... anything can happen.
(Timeline wise, IIRC TK and I decided that Naomi and Alan would only First Meet Cute (tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MeetCute) after the big Cradel battle, sometime in late autumn-winter MC0075 or early spiring.)
But as for Alpha.... well, let's just say that Kagerou and I have plans to take Naomi and Franz's relationship in a certain direction. You can PM him for details and stuff.

I like this idea. It certainly makes sense to me, and imho can be a great character detail.
I wonder if this kind of personalisation can be to the sigils as well. Not everyone might understand the same magic system in the same way, and I have always thought that their sigils should have some slight changes or modifications to reflect this difference in perception.
Btw this may be off-topic, but in Wicca, witches are actually advised not to perform magick when they're feeling negative (tired, irritated, angry. etc). The reason is that whatever that comes out will be affected by how they feel during the ritual. If let's say you're working on a healing spell for one of your sick friends, but have just walked out of a heated quarrel with him, chances are that your resentment/anger towards him will at best weaken or negate the effect, or at worse unintentionally cause it to have some adverse effects (like worsening the ailment). This advice seems to apply for all other esoteric systems as well IIRC, which also makes grounding yourself before and after any ritual a very important procedure.

"Ware wa Zengar Zombolt, Aku wo tatsu tsurugi nari! Waga Zankantou ni tatenu mono nashi!"
Background: The self-styled Sword That Smites Evil (Aku wo tatsu tsurugi), Zengar Zombolt is a very honorable individual who fights for his own personal beliefs. Hardened by a long career as a soldier, Zengar has an amazing amount of wisdom on the battlefield and can sense the potential in allies and enemies alike. His demeanor and manners of speech are reminiscent of a samurai, and as such, Sanger is always accompanied by a sword - in particular, his Armed Sword Device Zankantou . Zengar also has a tendency to speak with yojijukugo -- four-kanji idioms. Examples of such phrases are ichiisenshin (一意専心, With all my heart and soul), ittou ryoudan (一刀両断, One blade that cuts in half), and jinba ittai (人馬一体, The rider and his horse are one), though Sanger uses an alternate version (刃馬一体, The blade and the horse are one）.
He frequently phrases, "I am Zengar Zombolt, the Sword That Smites Evil!" ("Ware wa Zengā Zonboruto, Aku wo tatsu tsurugi nari!")which he recites before he attacks with his Zankantou, and "There is nothing that can stand against my Zankantou!" ("Waga Zankantou ni tatenu mono nashi!") after he finishes the attack. He frequently accompanies his attacks with a loud "CHESTO!!!" kiai.
Zengar was formerly a member of the TSAB Air Force's Agressors, and was a sempai of Takamachi Nanoha, though he has disappeared from the TSAB's public eye in recent years. Rumors abound, however, that Zengar remains in the shadows, only to emerge to slay evil and fight for justice, and many believe that he is the only man who can stand against the Aces.
Most definately, he's the only person who has a chance in hell of blocking one of Asagi Caldwell's blade strikes, blade to blade.
