I hear and I o-- What am I saying?! How many episodes are those things? Anything above 26 tends to end up at the bottom of my watching queue...

At the rate we're seeding them. I'm not surprised.

Yes something along that line. The Saint Church is like Roman Catholic church, the center of the Velka world, with several variations in doctrine.
And that uncontrolled religious zeal hasn't disappeared either. There's the hardline "Holy Velka" terrorists who claim to fight for the Old Empire in destroying the "infidels" that are the Mid Childa when they are all just desperate pawns issued with New Velka weapons. Kha fights one of their cells as his first mission in the completed Trinity in the 3rd and final chapter of Point of Light OVA, and is meant to foreshadow a wider campaign set to start after StrikerS finishes its run.

Spoiler for Cassandra's Familiar:
Name: Kali
Age: 20 years old
Birthday: Unknown
Mage Rank: AAA+
Magic Type: Mid-childa magic,
Magic Color: Sky blue
Element Preference: Fire, Ice and Crystal magic
TSAB Rank: Second Flight Lieutenant. Sub-Commander of the Blue Flame squad
Height: 180 cm
Weight: 65 Kg
Hair: Light brown
Eyes: Sky blue
Animal Transformation: Frostsaber Tiger
Weapons: May vary
Defense Outfit: Barrier Jacket extended.
Relationships: Master: Cassandra Ivanov. Friend: Alexander Ivanov
Personality traits: Overprotective. Acts like a mother and friend to Cass.
History:
Kali had always been different from other familiars. She shared the link everyone of her kind had with her mistress, but for some reason, she didn’t live off her magic. She later discovered she had been born with a Linker Core. Since this particular characteristic happened to be helpful for her mistress she never minded nor thought about the subject. She lived happily with Cassandra and her family until the ‘incident’ happened. As her mistress entered a coma, she sealed herself into Artes, and remained dormant while her mistress lingered in a half-dead, half-alive state. While she slept in her chosen prison, her memories also faded away slowly, and disappeared altogether, except the ones about Cassandra. When she was unsealed from Artes, she recognized Cass, but not the man who was with her. Under the impression he might be an enemy, Kali immediately changed to her animal form and was about to jump him, when Cass stopped her. After some explanations, she finally understood that the man was Cassandra’s father. As if apologizing, she approached him and whimpered out softly. Understanding the meaning of this, Nicholas bent down and patted her furry head. Since then, Kali has always been more observant, always watching out for anyone who might try to harm her mistress, but, having learned her lesson, not jumping them immediately. She didn’t need to worry much though, since Cass hardly talked to anybody else in friendly terms. She gave Alex a hard time at first, right after Cass had mentioned him, but when she got a glimpse of his personality, she decided to leave him alone. When Cass told her she had fallen in love with Alex though, she immediately became as overprotective with him as she was with Cass and still pops up unexpectedly when she thinks something might be wrong with him. She likes to tease him a lot in a playful manner and after some time, they became good friends.
Melee Attacks:
Berserk Fist: A non-stop series of punches one after the other that mainly aim towards the head, stomach and chest.
Low Kick: A strong and swift kick that aims the legs to get the enemy to lose his/her footing.
Combined Kick: Dragon roundhouse kick before leaping into the air and descend towards the target with an aerial spin kick.
Deceitful Punch: First she fakes a hit. When the enemy blocks the wrong place, she delivers the real hit wherever she sees fit.
Element Attacks:
Fire Sword: Conjures a fire sword and uses it to attack. She uses all of Cassandra’s melee moves that are used with a sword.
Eruption: Forces an uprising magma explosion. If the targets are ground forces, the eruption will occur right under their feet for maximum damage. If the targets are airborne, it becomes a magma pillar, reaching out towards the enemy.
Fire Storm: Invokes a rain of fire that falls into the battlefield.
Ice Spears: Calls forth several medium sized spears that direct themselves at the target. Once they hit, they start freezing the body, starting by the blood.
Ice Draft: Summons an Iceberg that divides as it descends into the combat zone. Once it has divided itself the needed times, they form small groups of mini icebergs and fall towards one target per group.
Crystals: Razor-sharp crystals are aimed towards the targets. Engulfed in a shining blue sea, the enemy is blinded by the reflected light on the crystals and is cut by them at the same time.
By the way, expect to see more of this, guys. I'm presently working on the rest of the squad and you should meet them soon ^^. |
Do I remember? How could I forget such a beautiful creature from Azeroth...
Sakura: [Nose grows longer...]
...not. Let me finish! Yeah I forgot about her...
Btw, Deceitful Punch can be called a Feint and might sound better. Or you can go full Engrish and say Deceiver Punch. Other than that, I'd say that I'm afraid to fight that Frostsaber. No way I'm gonna try and tame her for a mount.
I don't think there's a need for kids in this family. Kali is the big sister, and Alex's tsukaima are the little noisy ones! 
Btw, is it just me, or does Cass remind one of Tyrande Whisperwind in personality? Just poked at Tyrande in WoW in boredom the other day and her responses about Furion remind about Cass. :shrug:

Nobody's stopping you. It'll be easier if we could leave it at that and advance with the story.
Thanks. But please wait for the other three before including them, okay?
And in the Phantom Squadron's case, its the 'Phantom Waltz' |
Alright then I will. BTW ATX Team turned up a Stud there.
We'll I'm a sucker for details and logical flows... But yeah I suppose its okay enough to push it for now. What really puzzles me is how did the Old Velka really disappear. Even the Wolkenritter noted how far they fell in a short time span in one of their past lives revealed in the SS.
Okay I'll wait.
Point noted

Here, maybe this could help for others

Now to find a calculator to turn those in SI units... Sorry but that was the system I was trained and hence visualize in.

Spoiler for example piece:
" Status report!" the commander shouted from the main command deck down to the operators pit.
" We've lost the transmission. Unit 13 has vanished. Hostiles have also disappeared. STAB agents have been recovered safely, but we have no locator trace on unit 13 or it's potential destination"
" Damn it! I knew this would happen!" the commander seethed.
behind him, the bridge doors opened, and from the transfer ports the recovered STAB agents staggered onto the deck. They were dishevelled but mostly unharmed.
" Report"
" we encountered the unidentified hostiles as soon as we passed below 250 metres underground. They appeared by an unknown manner definitely identified as NOT being any form of dimensional transfer, and began to attaqck without warning. We began defensive combat, but while we were able to protect ourselves, were unable to inflict any significant damage to the hostiles. Any superficial damage we inflicted was apparently repaired at a frightening pace, and the few units we managed to inflict more serious damage on simply disappeared again, possibly retreating for technical repair..."
" and when Unit 13 appeared?"
" Unit 13 immediately came under fire, but his own self-repair recovery system served to limit the damage until he could deploy a defence barrier. When he did so, the barrier reflected the enemies weapon fire back upon them, which caused a significant number of hostiles to fade out from the damage their own weapons were able to inflict. When he noted the apparent means of attack, he summoned a support item he called Bronzion Hammer, and attacked and destroyed one of the hostiles..."
" it actually destroyed one of the enmies?"
" Yes sir. Confirmed kill. It was only after that that a voice from among the hostiles began to speak to him..."
" and now it's disappeared. very well, dismissed. get down to medical..."
Turning to the crew of the ship, the commander waited until the agents had left the bridge, then gave the orders.
" Regardless of the reason for it's disappearance, It has become evident that unit 13 is now acting outside of Bureau control. This cannot be accepted. From this point on, unit 13 is now classified as a lost Logia and is subject to Destroy On Sight orders. Distribute this warning to all departments. "
And so the mystery continues...and yes, these are deliberate cliffhangaers....after all, if the bureau doesn't know if he's defected, why should you lot?
but seriously, I wanted to make this part look very much like a self-fulfilling prophecy, and so... |
---New intelligence data updated---
Today, we take a quick look at the last member of Kha's Trinity, Allison Ford.
Spoiler for Eyes Only:
Name: Allison Ford
Alias: der Beteiligt (The Concerned)
Age: 12 (as of StrikerS)
Birthday: 25th December
Magic Rank: B-
Height: 139cm
Weight: 32kg
Hair: Pink.
Eyes: Blue.
Personality: Gentle, mild-mannered and yet very wise for her age, the perfect person to pour your troubles to at the end of a hard day. She is very close to Kha and Sophia, calling them Oni-chan and One-chan respectively. It bugs her that the rest of the Trinity is very over-protective of her. Unlike most Confessors, she does not lead the Trinity but aids Kha in sermons and ceremonies.
Usual wear: The kind that girls her age wear. Prefers dresses to pants.
Magic Type: Neo-Velka, Pink.
Caster Class: Assistant Confessor
Brief Background
Allison is the only member of the Trinity to have originated from the 97th. She is the only daughter of a Yakuza mafia boss, and because of that, great pressure was on her to grow up and assume her father’s position. Her mother died in a brutal attack from rival gangs. One day, another woman showed up at their doorstep with an older boy in tow, and claimed that with him being the true first born that the position be let to him instead. Little Allison was glad for that, and over time befriended the boy.
Allison also spent much time with her maternal grandmother. As it turned out, she was a retired Knight-sister, one who gave up her weapon and powers after many years in service to follow her heart. One day, Allison’s powers suddenly awoke, and the granny immediately took note. From then on, she introduced the little girl to the wonderful worlds that existed outside of the tiny drop in the infinite expanse of Ordered Space. She also told her tales of times as a Knight-sister, and of the Saint Church, and Allison too wanted to follow the footsteps of her grandmother. However, the old lady advised against joining the Convent, for she was needed to carry on the bloodline of the Izutachi.
One day, it all changed. An attempt on Allison’s life was made, and while the aging warrior defeated the Neutral hitmen, they were startled to discover that the one who sent them was none other than her half-brother. Confused, Allison wanted to meet him personally and verify it, for she could not believe this was the work of her gentle brother. However, her grandmother already called in a few favors, and Allison found herself being extracted out to the only safe place her grandmother knew: Saint Church, Mid Childa. The old lady refused to say much about the matter, saying that Allie must never return to Earth, that she must take on her mother's family name Ford, and broke off all contact with the girl.
Her overwhelming response puzzled her, and Allison sought ways to return. She thus remembered her grandmother's tales and volunteered for the Church’s knight training program, in hope of one day being able to be strong enough to return to her homeworld and find out why. That was 4 years ago. Since then, she has grown stronger, and was selected for the elite Confessor course. She excelled at every aspect of it, but her overly good nature got in the way when it came to leadership skills. Her small size and young age didn’t help, but she was so good at all other aspects of the job and with the severe manpower shortage, the instructors decided to pass her with the barest minimum of qualifications and recommended her to a Trinity which had an established leader but no Confessor.
And so she ended up in the 21st Trinity Optimus, as Kha’s official Number 2. As a Page, Allie continues her Knight training under Kha and Sophia's tutelage.
Like the rest of the Trinity, Allison shares one aspect with one of the Tsukaima classes employed by humanoid summoners from both sides of the major magical divide. Most familiars usually start off as Berserker types.
The full list of similarities are as follows:
Sakura = Saber
Sakura symmetrically docked with El'Jaedinea (Kaempfer's device) = Lancer
Sophia = Archer + Rider
Artei = Assassin
Kaempfer = Berserker
Allison = Caster
